And what a "real man"...loved that pink polo.

Didn't anyone tell you pink is the "new black?" I'm surprised they didn't make him wear his BiLo T-shirt again. (The grocery store chain that sponsored the contest)

I'm sure BiLo wasn't too thrilled about having to pay out a million bucks...but they are getting a TON of free publicity from the deal, so it's definitely worth it!

Congrats PHnSC on your HUGE win over the Gators. Have been a big Spurrier fan since he arrived at Florida......great to see he's doing so well this fast in Columbia.........especially considering he cut loose some of his returning players due to disciplinary actions before the season started. I've always kept a keen eye on the Gamecock program. Would love to get down to Brice someday! It would be amazing if Kentucky would shock the Dawgs and get U.S.C. to the SEC title game! Good luck against the Tiger Paws! It's already a great season for you guys but a win in this one would put it over the top! But whatever you do...don't brawl before, during or after the game please!

I am indeed ready for the BIG ONE! We seem to be playing our best ball of the year....but so is OSU. Nonetheless, I like our chances playing at home. I'm hoping the defense steps up and makes a major statement in this one. I think Hart is gonna have a big game....running and receiving. If we do beat OSU, I know those lightweights in East Lansing will tank against Penn State. They'd rather lose and not go bowling than win and send us into the BCS!

By the way, what part of Michigan are you from? I'm in the Flint area.

I doubt they paid it out of their own pocket (although they still get the publicity!). We sponsored a golf tournament last year and I learned something: did you know that there are insurance companies that do nothing but provide insurance for things like that? We had a contest where people could buy raffle tickets for a shot a million dollar hole in one shot. If the winner got a hole in one on his tee shot on the par-3 15th, he'd have won a million bucks.

We bought insurance from this company that would have paid out the amount if he'd made it. I'm sure the grocery store had something similar with the deal at the Clemson game.

But it got me thinking, how often do you suppose the insurance company ever actually has to pay out?

I was born in Muskegon, MI. Yeah I hope that we keep playing well with OSU coming to town. I just wish we could play like this all year. We seemed to always start slow and pick it up towards the end.

Yeah if USC can win this weekend over Clemson, it would top off a very good season. WIth losing alot of guys at the beginning of the season, than losing Newton to an injury, lot of us thought Spurrier would have a tough time getting 4 wins. Man, if only Kentucky could be UGA. Not counting on it, but we can hope.

Doc, Ever hear of AJ Hawk and Bob Carpenter?
Henne is going to have to beat the Bucks this year.
If our offense doesn't choke and plays loosely, we will win in the Big House.......

Hey CUParrot, I finally was able to get myself a ticket for the game. Another Gamecock Club member sold me two for face value which was surprising, considering tickets are going for over 100 a piece. Hope you enjoy the game, but not to much. GO COCKS

That's awesome to find tix for face. Glad you get to go. Wish I could go, but at least I'll be able to watch it on TV now. I'm getting pumped for this game....got my orange on today at work. (Though I work at Clemson, so pretty much everyone has on orange today...)

Say--what do you think of this whole hand-shake thing before the game? Think it will do any good? I hope our players (from both teams) behave themselves tomorrow.

GO TIGERS!!!!!

Gee 3/4.....I was gonna say the same thing about Michigan!!

By the way.....I have heard of AJ Hawk....Is it true that his name is Alex Joseph but he could never learn how to spell that so he had to shorten it to AJ?

GO BLUE!!!!!!!!

Take a ESPN2 cleaver sign so you can get on TV!

I am looking forward to the game too due to the fight last year...

I bet it will be one of the BETTER games on TV.

GOOD LUCK!

I think its a good idea. I mean there was no reason for last year to happen. We can be rivals and have fun with it, and not feel like we have to hate one another. I say shake hands, and let the game began. Doing your talking on the field.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

I just heard that it will be on ESPN2 UNTIL 7:45pm when they will switch to the LSU/MSU game. What the heck????

Yep. The game will air in its entirety only in S.C. I think it may also still be available pay-per-view for those outside the state, if you REALLY want to see it.

The whole situation with the TV coverage has been very screwy.

Its all about the money. You would think that the donations we give JUST to BUY tickets would be enough.

And I hate when we went to a night game and it was on TV. The TV time outs just kill the momentum and drags the game out until midnight.

This is it folks! T-21 hours 'til one of the most important games in the Bulldogs' history.

#16 Fresno State at #1 Universityof Spoiled Children

Tomorrow I head south on 99 to witness what most would consider to be the biggest upset this century...everyone except for us Bulldog faithful. We know what we have and are ready to shock the college football world.

But if we don't, I'll just go hide under a rock!
