The Feed Pail: Gameday Florida

The Daily Gamecock: Women's soccer tallies 7 goals (!) in NCAA Tournament win over Alabama State. Seven goals (five in the opening period), a  29-7 shot advantage, a clean sheet on D, playing the whole bench and a Gatorade shower at the end ... what a way to celebrate Coach Shelley Smith's 200th win in 16 seasons managing the Garnet & Black. Our next match will be on the 18th when we face the winner of OK State-Colorado (who play today). Congrats Coach Smith on reaching the double-century milestone.

"We're expecting to beat him," USC linebacker Jonathan Walton said. "He got Coach Muschamp fired, so hopefully we can do something else."

So, to please their current coach, Gamecocks.v2016 want to avenge a loss that Gamecocks.v2014 laid on him 23-20 while he was working for the other guys, in order to get pay-back to the coach who led them for the big late-season W in '14 [that incidentally that put the Cocks into a bowl berth]. That's the spirit, right? OK ... I admit it, I'm confused.
