After watching Indiana choke away the upset Saturday, Iowa showed me that they are not a top 5 team. They were getting outplayed for three quarters, but then some magical Halloween stuff allowed Iowa to get back in the game and win it. I'm looking forward to see what they do when they visit Ohio State. It's going to be a busy offseason in Athens. After coming out in black helmets and black pants, Georgia got knocked around by a Florida team that is headed...

Offensive line starter Heath Batchelor also won't make the trip. South Carolina athletic spokesman Steve Fink said on Friday that Giles violated team and university policy. The freshman was the 22nd-ranked Gamecocks' second-leading rusher this season with 245 yards. Fink said he did not know if Giles' suspension would extend past the game at Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

I hope this also gives Gamecock fans a little more perspective on Tyrone Nix. He may not be Ellis Johnson, but he's a good defensive coordinator. I would quibble with a couple of C&am...

Solis - AP View full size photo uploaded September 3, 2009 I really feel like, for me, everything that needs to be said has been said. The 2009 college football season starts tonight with a game between South Carolina and NC State. I'm not terribly interested in the game, as neither are future opponents of LSU.

This guy must have some distant relationship to Ed Hochuli. The play happened this past weekend in the LSU, South Carolina game when Gamecocks QB, Stephen Garcia, scrambled out of the pocket when out of nowhere he is decked by the umpire, Wilber Hackett Jr. Hackett clearly gives Garcia a forearm shiver that immediately sends him to the ground. It should also be noted that Hackett is a f...
