From today's Post & Courier article on facilities improvements at Carolina,
"Since the early 1980s, Hyman has conducted exit interviews with the athletes in his department. He asks them why they chose one school over another. One of the top four answers is almost always facilities, Hyman said."
FAN PHOTO OF THE DAY
Great story from Ashlea Darracott, whose picture from the Capital One Bowl is Fan Photo of the Day:
"I took my husband to his very FIRST college football game that day. He is a deprived Canadian and had yet to participate in the Gamecock Experience. We live in Orlando, so it is rare that I am able to make it home for a game. However, I have tormented him for several years with my "exuberance" (ha ha) during all of our televised games. Especially, Clemson. I will always treasure my time spent at Carolina, and it was great to spend time with my people. Goooooo Gamecocks!!!!!!"
Love it!

"I thought the most impressive group was the South's defensive line. Melvin Ingram, Courtney Upshaw and Quinton Coples, to me, are all first-round picks, and they've all played like first-round picks. I'm particularly interested in Ingram, because he's got an atypical body type at 6-foot-2 and 276 pounds. You've got to figure out how to use him, but he's played really well so far."
