Since the Gators didn't have to worry about that game last night, we decided we'd root for Auburn instead.
It's called keeping up. We just need to be in line with the rest of the schools.
I've finally got a new line - God is smiling on the Gamecocks. That was my line after close wins at Florida.
It was not a performance that makes think us we've got a chance for a big year,
Blake twisted his ankle. I don't know bad it is. He's on crutches. They say there's no fracture and that it's an ankle sprain.
I'm not ... those walks schools do, we've never done that. We've basically just bused up next to the locker room.
He needs to get physically a little bigger and stronger. I'm afraid if he gets hit real hard we may be carrying him off the field.
It was a tough night, but we're 1-0 and we're not going to sit around and cry about it because we won the game. It looked easy early and all of a sudden it got tough. I'm not going to be moping too much because a few plays they beat us. I'm going to enjoy being 1-0.

He's hitting too hard right now. We've got to slow him down some. He's a tough, good-looking inside linebacker.
Let's just go play the game, ... and let the players decide who wins it. That's what we should all focus on this week.
Defense was putting pressure on us. They had some good blitz schemes going.
