I love to write. I love to make music. I coach basketball, and enjoy football.

I have been raised a Miami Sports (Especially the Miami Dolphins) fan, but when the Carolina Panthers came into the league I had to make room for another NFL team. I follow the Heat in basketball, as well as the Charlotte Bobcats. However, I am really all about some South Carolina Gamecocks!

Thanks for reading my stuff!

    Alex, have you seen or heard this? http://www.tigernet.com/view/story.do?id=10193
    It was after the practice tonite and later found that Spurrier was misquoted. Looks like Dabo doesn't know how to get the facts before stepping in it.

    Alex....hoping to inform the fan base of a new service being offered for all South Carolina home games. Bowl Bus is offering fun, safe, and green transportation to all Gamecocks' home games via luxury bus charters. www.bowlbus.com
    They use a social bus pooling method to allow all fans an opportunity to tailgate all the way to the game and back!
    Cheers!

    Hi Alex,
    Didn't even know about this feature...cool. Congratulations on the win over the Dawgs. Man what a game. I already congratulated LHD but never got around to you, sorry. I enjoyed the game, although I am a Dawg fan. Not sure if Richt will survive this, he probably better win most of the rest or we may have a new coach next year. Good to see him play not quite so conservative this time around.
    Anyway, I feel that when boosters, athletics, and universities mix it's trouble. Not sure what is going to come out of this. SC did the right thing distancing themselves from these people. Question is how much did this SAM really do and how involved was SC? Maybe this is the end of it, who knows. It does give the impression that there is more to investigate.
    Have a great weekend. Nice chatting with you, and good luck with Navy.
    Best,
    William

    hahahah! actually laughed a bit at work over that one. this is definitely the most athletic team usc has fielded in a long long time (maybe ever?). sad to see my dawgs go 0-2, but i still think we'll end up 8-4 or 9-3. if garcia shapes up, ya'll could end up being a very very dangerous team this year, sugar bowl might be in your future (i still think bama or lsu are favored for the NC, but you could beat them)

    it was a very fun game, was under the scoreboard the whole game and it was pretty exciting. we shot ourselves in the foot. you d line looked pretty good and lattimore did not disappoint, but i really thought garcia struggled which surprised me. close game? i expect nothing less from a usc-uga game

    Love your stuff, Alex. I’ve been reading your posts for quite a while and just wrote my first (hopefully first of many). Check it out here (http://gamecockbusiness.blogspot.com/). I submitted an application to BleacherReport but it takes them 5 days to review. I wanted to see if you could use your network so it can get some distribution (that is, if you like it). LMK what you think. I’m at PatZackDavis@yahoo.com too. Appreciate any/all feedback and would REALLY appreciate you helping me get some reads on this (again, if you think it’s worth it). Thanks!

    Honestly? SC wins by at least 10. We have so many injuries piling up, no WR to step up (TK is and will always be a huge disappointment), our o line looks atrocious and our pass coverage sucks. HOWEVER, your pass coverage was pretty awful as well, so that may help keep up in the game for a while. UGA goes 8-4 this season on the back of an easy schedule
