Gamecock Football Is Upon Us!

Ladies and Gentleman! Friends and Neighbors and most importantly Rabid College Football Fans. Football is in the air and while the atmosphere in Columbia, South Carolina (Home of America’s Team) is at a fever pitch.

The excitment is obvious and while its unmistakable, a hint of the unknown, also clouds our Carolina skies for the first time since 2005.

Steve Spurrier’s first season the Gamecocks found themselves with a unproven qb. For many schools this is a five alarm issue but when you have a Spurrier, this issue resolves itself rather quickly.

What Spurrier was able to do with Blake Mitchell in 05 was nothing short of awesome considering Mitchell had only thrown 4 passes in his college career.
