About

The name is Ritch. The writings on this account are mine and mine alone. I am a writer and the editor for Leftover Hot Dog. I've chosen to write with this alias here.

LOHD is a college sports blog that has been devoted to the South Carolina Gamecocks with some occasional SEC opinions mixed in there since 2005. If you want insight on the University of South Carolina sports programs with a "garnet and black" tainted view, there is no better resource than www.leftoverhotdog.com but that is being bias.

    You and Alex Roberts have the best stuff. I just wrote my first post too. Would you mind checking it out here (http://gamecockbusiness.blogspot.com/)? I submitted an application to BleacherReport but it takes them 5 days to review and so I wanted to see if you could use your network/distribution (that is, if you like it) so we can push this out to Gamecock Nation!!

    Thanks for the fan vote! Good luck to the Gamecocks this season. I think it could be a fun year in Columbia!

    Hey we spoke some last week leading up to the game. The score says otherwise but that was a really tight game. I like to write following our games win or lose with a look back. Let me know what you think if you get a chance.

    Thanks
