The biggest headline we could think of that epitomized South Carolina and Vanderbilt's performances on the Opening Night of the College Football season was this: "South Carolina bad, Vanderbilt worse". Because it's true. SOUTH CAROLINA WOES South Carolina wasn't so much as a victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels as one fall-over drunk beating the other fall-over drunk to the finish line and collapsing in a stupored mess. ESPN should ban the Gamecocks from opening the season again - since every time they do they seem to absolutely suck. When I saw that ESPN.com had a "highlights" Read more [...]

Mark Richt is used to criticism as head coach of the University of Georgia. Every year people place him on the hot-seat for either not beating South Carolina, or not beating Auburn, or losing a game they should win, or not beating a team by enough, and 2015 won't be any different - although after beating Clemson and LSU, maybe the seat's a LITTLE cooler.

Jeremy Hill called a press conference, which he went to with Les Miles, his coach in tow. Miles had indefinitely suspended the player for the fight. In a statement at a press conference (thanks, Tigerbait.com), he said: "I would like to thank Coach Miles and this university for giving me another chance to Read more [...]

---- OUR GUEST WRITER ALEX FERGUSON WRITES FROM BLOG 'VIEW FROM AMERICA' WRITES------  It's not the only time that I've written an anti-SEC piece - I've been going on and on about the SEC's lack of red-hot non-conference schedule competition since God was a boy (and will probably continue to do so!!), but this article comes because as college football fans, we remember the bad times just as well as the good times. And as June 18th in my birthday - I'm 35 today (so remember to say Happy Birthday! to me after reading this) - I thought it was a bit of time to remember the bad times. I'm Read more [...]
