Someone asked me the other day who long do you think they will give Spurrier to win at South Carolina? I grew up in South Carolina and as far as i can remember except for the George Rodgers Years and a couple ACC years this the the most success the Cocks have ever had. They are at some point in the season ranked each year. They are on ESPN Way more than ever before. An is averaging 6 wins a season over the last 4 years and maybe more. So as far as I'm concerned Spurrier will be the next Joe Pa at Penn State. I think He should be the coach until he deems other wise. Church

Last night I watch a legend of the NFL go to Prison for is more than likely the rest of his life . I know a lot of people think he had this coming after getting acquittedof the double murder case 13 years to the date( talking bout unlucky) Wither you think he did it or not this is a sad day for NFL fans it makes the end of the Bills and USC Trojans greatest running back. AS i watched the officer put him in cuffs and watch his family overwhelemed with grief. I just so all the long runs in the snow and great plays he did and couldn't believe that that was the same person. Carma Huh?

No not Georgia, not Bama, not USC Trojans, not LSU, not even Ohio St.. The Steve Spurrier Lead South Carolina Gamecocks has the number 1 D in the nations how odd. Even tho they have at least 4 members of the D that will be balling on Sundays,(Norwood, Brinkly, Captian,Cook) that isn't was the old ball coach has been know for. Its been reported that when he was in Washington he didn't even know the name of the Defensive Players (WOWWW). Now "round here" the Defence is Holding up it end the bargain but the offence cant score 30 on d 2 teams. This is the same coach that used to be accused of running up the score on SEC foes all the time now the only thing the offence can run up is the number of QB's used in the same season, but that's another story

A yo check this out. I'm a NBA fan but no team is really my team cus i grew up up South Carolina and we never had a team. So I grew to like players, I.E. Jordan, Hakeem the Dream, and Clyde the Glide, now my dudes are in no order Kobe, D-Wade, and Melo, Speaking of Melo and the Nuggets they are trying to get better they no they need to do it soon. AI is getting older,and the window is closing before they have to rebuild around Meol. One move I think will help, they Got Former South Carolina Standout ( Shout out to the Gamecocks) and 1st round draft pick Renaldo Balkman. They are currently trying to get J. Tinsley from the Pacers witch would be a great move they need a point . Then i hear that they signed Jowan HowardUndecided

After Saturdays game against Ole Miss we have to ask our self is Chris Smelly as bad as we all thought. He throw for a season high 337 yards and a career high 3 TD's. Including a maybe career and season changing drive late in the 4th quarter. He led the Gamecock on and 95 yard drive and score that looked more like a SEC 1st team QB than a Gamecock QB on the verge of being benched. A drive like that can propell a team to win after win because they believe in the 1 under center. Just like last year when they lost the heart-breaker to Vandy and never recovered, maybe this will work in the same kind of way. If he continues to play like this the sky is the limit for the gamecocks who's d will always give them a chance. Even though the gave  up a season high 361 yards and fell from number 1 in the country on D to 6 ( that's still awesome). E. Cook is definitely a first round draft pick with an Erie playing style thats just like Bob Sanders of the Indianapolis Colts, he did it again Stopping the Rebels ball handlers 14 times and had a 52 yard fumble recovery and run. He is the hurt and sole of the D and I would hate to run cross the middle with Bob I mean E. on the other side. Jason Barnes had his comeing out party with 7 rec. for 76 yards with is great we might be looking at a core of WR that will actually make big plays with Kenny coming back and Jared Cook doing his thing maybe just maybe they will have Wide Receivers that do just that.

I took time from watching Terell Pryor grow up and drive his Ohio St Team to a last min win for the first time in is career but I'm sure not the last time. To watch what i thought was the best heavyweight talent in MMA Compared to the likes of a Mike Tyson. He is huge 250 plus, tough he came for the street where he fought just to eat, and Passionate he loves what he's is doing. I was excited to see the fight I was calling my dad during the stare down and before he could answer the phone Kimbo Sliced was KO. It was over in 14 seconds wow it takes me longer to walk to the bathroom and back. I was shocked, stunned, and a little upset. He has been and The Talk of the MMA world. Shoot, the event it self was on CBS a major network no other MMA fighter or even event, dang come to think about it boxing which has been aroung for decades can't even do that anymore, and it was even in Kimbo's back yard. He's been on Jimmy Kimel, ESPN and many kinds of sports programs across the country, He was a star in the making. Now in his first big day he is a falling star. He was KO by some skinny, punkish looking kid with pink hair. Now that one thing I can say I never been KO by a dude with pink hair. Is Kimbo the next over-hyped athlete that isn't going to live up to it. i.e. Ryan Leaf, Bryan Bosworth, or not yet but maybe Reggie Bush. I'm mad all the hype and nothing to show for it. Maybe he should go back to the street and YouTube at least on YouTube he won. Is his career over or it just a blip on the radar. Public Enemy said it best Don't Don't Don't Believe The Hype! Church

Since Mr. Reggie Bush has been in the League he has been in the new a lot. From the Scandal at USC, to dating Kim Kardashian, to being over-hyped. Last night he was in it for the right reasons. During the Monday Night Game The Saints VS the Viking, it was build as Peterson Vs Bush, and everybody thought that All Day was going to do just that and run all day and night against the saints and that lowly defence. To everyone's surprise it was Mr. Bush that sole the show with almost 300 yards of total offence which is more that twice the Kansas City put up in the defeat at the paws of my Carolina Panthers Sunday. In the second he took over the game in i way in my 27 years i never seen a scat back as the call him do with two punt returns that he was clocked at running over 21 mph with 20lbs of equipment on.Reggie Bush no matter what they try to call him scat back, specialty player, or whatever  he is none other that a football player.  He single took the game over and if it was for the saint kicking game and their penants and turnovers they would have won the game. He also set two NFL records most receptions by a player to start a carrer, and two punt returns in the same game is one also he hold that with others. Since he has been drafted they have been waiting for him to live up to the hype. Let me be the first to tell you the wait is over. Church

Last night, we lost another star to the pre-season. Antawn Jamison went down with a knee injury after playing only 4 mins. Which begs the question why do we need a pre-season anyway. Now the Washington Wiz is already without Brandon Hayward, and Arenas. Now the season maybe lost and it hasn’t even started yet. This isn’t the fist time pre season has taking one of our stars. Remember when Micheal Vick went down, Clinton Portis and it’s many more examples. You might say we need it for the rookies and the young and free agents players to see if they will make the team. Wrong, the NBAhas summer league where the rooks and and young talent plays the entire time. Also they have the D-League that's features the under develop talent. The NFL has OTAand rookies camp months before the season starts and plus I thought that is what training camp and practice is for (and yes I’m talking bout practice). With the contracts in the NBAmost of them are guaranteed money so in most cases they already know who will be on the team. I think it would be fair if we just cut the pre and just started the season all the teams will be a the same starting point. Then if we did lose our favorite players it would be at least in a game that counts. Church

With the Pentant races going on and the almighty NFL still keeping everyone including me at the edge of their seats, not only on Sunday but even throughout the week. Even NCAA football fans are directly in the mist of a wonderful season. Did anyone notice that the NBA a.k.a the Association started last night? I think this year is going to be exciting. We have many new exciting story lines this year. Will Kobe a.k.a KB 24finally win without Shaq? Will D-Wade be D-Wade form the Olympics. How good is Greg Oden. Ron Artest in Houston? Andrew Bynum’s knee? The Rookies like O.J. Mayo, who will be the next great star in the Association? We got our first look at some of stories last night. Bynum look solid putting up 15 points and 8 rebs in 24 mins. Artest look like Artest playing hard every

Wow! In five short weeks we went from the Cowboys as the Super Bowl Favorites, to are they even the best team in the NFC East.  Now I will give you this, the Redskins are shocking everybody! Jason Campbell who hasn't had a turnovers all season  is playing unbelievable, and the rest of the team is following suit. The Cowboys are more like a VH1 reality show then a Super Bowl Contender. You got the Flashy, selfish, unstable, drama queen, diva, charter i.e. Flavor Flav or New York a.k.a Terrell Owens. Then you got the stud, the eye candy, who seem to have the lights on but nobody home, i.e. Meghan, 12 pack, a.k.a. Tony Romo. Then you got the bad boy who you love to hate, The Entertainer, a.k.a Adam Pacman Jones. Who was in the news a

Good news Gamecocks fans, I believe that our Gamecocks has a great chance to win this week at Kentucky and here's why. Yes, KT is 4-1, but the haven't beat anyone notable. The have wins against Louisville, Norfolk State (and before I move to Virginia I haven't ever heard of them), Middle Tennessee State, and Western Kentucky. In their only SEC match up they failed in a close one 17-14 to Bama. The score in that game is deceiving. Bama put up 282 yards on the ground Wow. That is not going to happen on the Emanuel Cook lead defence. Although, that is good very news for the Gamecocks Mike Davis and Bobby Wallace who together against Ole Miss who was coming of there biggest win in forever put up 92 yards rushing. KT only rushed for 35 yards against Bama. Mike Davis has had several runs over 35 yards this season alone. I can see Norwood and Brinkley licking they chops. On the year KT is only averaging 194 yards through the air and 142 on the ground. Against the number 6 D the nation I don't see them reaching those numbers. Even though KT's pass D did hold Wilson in check. I don't think they will be able to do the same against the Gamecocks new explosive Offence. After last week when Smelly threw season and career highs with 3 TD's and 327 yards passing on a team that kept Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow in Check. So look alive Gamecocks fan I think we make a step in the right direction this week. 30-17 Gamecocks. Church

All year long everyone have been on the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and the rest on the NFC East bandwagon! Now with the Dallas Debacle and the Redskins now back to earth, except for Clinton Portis who is tearing the league a new one leading the league in rushing with 818 yards in 7 games that's almost 120 yards per game. The New York Football Giants are really the only legit contender. Under the radar tho was the NFC South who their best team are solid and plus has no drama. Tampa Bay is a great football team at 5-2 and has two running back that are effective Warrick Dunn who still has it and Earnest Graham who is balling. They are winning with two different QB's that's because that Defence is a monster! The Carolina Panthers who i believe is the best team in the South is rolling as well Who bounce back of a crushing lose to the lowly Kansas City Chiefs, took apart the New Orleans Saints 30 -7 and Held Drew Bress to under 300 yards for the first time in eight game dating back to last year. Jake Delhomme who need to do Tommy John surgery commercials, because i never seen any player come back of that surgery and play this well. The Panthers are 5-2 with the Defence anchored by Julius Pepper who is playing like and elite D end with 5 sack after only having 2 all of last year. Then the running game is solid with rookie of the year candidate Jonathan Steward, and Deangelo Williams is pretty good too! Steve Smith is getting back to his old self with back to back one hundred yards games, and the Moose is Loose! Don't sleep on the Falcons who are 4-2. and if the Saints every find a Defence they will be a force, but still they are a great team With Drew Brees at QB who leading the League in passing and on pace to brake Dan Marion Single Season Passing Yards Record. The only negative thing about the NFC South is that they have to play themselves. Church

Yo, I just want some thoughts on this one. Where I from Mom dukes always told me nobody like a taddle tale. When I got older if you told on someone that your cool with to another dude that you are now cool with, when that first dude found out about it it was going to be a couple of rounds of how many times my fist can find your face. So what is the deal with Brett Favre telling the Lions about he Pack. No matter how much he did or didnt say you cant do that were im from. Plus it didnt help the Lions got killed. If i was on the Pack the next time we play the Jets is going to be on like hot butter popcorn!!! With the way he left the Pack and this new info that came out Brett’s Legacy in my eyes is going down the drain! Church! Let me know what you think!!

This should be your lock of the week. The new trend in the NFL is teams out west coming east and playing has lost every game this year when the game is at 1:00 and this one is. Plus the Panthers are undefeated at home and the Cards are terrible on the road. I know that Bolding is supposed to be back and Fitz is a a beast. Kurt Warner is prone to turnovers and turnovers on the road dont mix. Plus Steve Smith is rolling averaging over 110 yards and 6 rec in the last three games which is tops in the NFL only second to Houston's Andre Johnson. Adding to that the Arizona secondary isn't very good their best player is a safety Mr. Wilson. Every one know that safeties aren't corners because that cant cover, that means a long day for the Cards. But Arizona can score and they will just not eno

The Carolina Panthers are rolling! Led by Jake's new Arm the two heading monster at running back, and the Best Receiver in the League Steve Smith. He is Just amazing! For the Third straight game is has gone over 100 yards.  Did you see him take that 5 yard out throw that DB of his back like his book-bag after school, and tipped toed the sideline that would have made a ballerina proud and the hit that next gear and sprinted 65 yards and dived into the end Zone i still have goose bumps. But what is so amazing is he does it on only 5 touches. He does the most with less than any other in the League. I dare you to find another. Santana Moss had a big day too but he had 9 catches and a punt return. If Smith Had his hand on the rock that much he would get o
