Ready For Some Football?

August 27, 2008

GAMECOCK FOOTBALLUSC vs. NC State – Thursday 8pm ET / ESPN

Going to pick up an order of wings from D’s to "tailgate" at my folks’ tomorrow night. Really looking forward to football kicking off, seeing if this team is for real, ready for something cool to happen around here.

Fish & Eggs & Jeeves & Gamecocks

November 24, 2007

I rolled my lazy sleepy over-turkeyed carcass out of bed this morning for a quick shower before breakfast at Brunches. We had a good time of conversation over my catfish & scrambled eggs (in the photo below, clockwise from top left: me, Chuck, George, "Todd").

After that, I drove to Books-A-Million for some minor book-gift-shopping. [...]

Saturday GameDay

November 17, 2007

It’s Saturday – a typically lazy cozy day for us after what’s been a long stressed week. The Gamecocks are off today for football (though most would be able to make the case for them being "off" the past four or five weeks, too). But in basketball we get to play the Other USC – [...]

“Start Strong” – or, Not

November 10, 2007

Florida is in town playing the Gamecocks tonight. Under five minutes and we lost the ball on a fumble that led to the first TD, and then had a rugby punt blocked to give Tebow another opportunity for a TD. The second PAT hit the uprights and bounced back, so it’s only 0-13.
The next three [...]

Morning Donut Run

November 3, 2007

It’s a breezy 46F this morning, perfect time to make a run to Starbucks and Krispy Kreme if I do say so myself. I took Cam – she enjoys little errands, and it’s a good time for us to talk and catch up on what’s imporant in her world. We took Little Penguin with us [...]

New Favorite Team

Found a new team to root for, jumping on the bandwagon – Go Trinity!

USC 38 – Kentucky 23

October 5, 2007

Good to be a Gamecock fan this morning. They played big last night. Part of me wants to see it as a major stepping stone to bigger things, including the lead in the SEC East standings. But the conflicted part of me wants to say, "but it’s just Kentucky". So we’ll see how this [...]

Bandwagon Ahoy

Gamecocks 4-1 (2-1)

September 29, 2007

The #16 USC Gamecocks beat Mississippi State 38-21 this afternoon at Williams-Brice Stadium. By itself, that’s not that big of a deal. But I’m impressed with the way the game unfolded, and how USC poured it on instead of going conservative in the fourth quarter shows promise for what’s to come. Too often we’ve [...]
