The South Carolina Gamecocks have added a wrinkle this season that Steve Spurrier has not been known for in the past, a rugged defense. With the Cock’s struggling trying to find a nucleus on the offensive side of the ball, it has been the defense that has carried the birds for most of this early 2007 season. Many have speculated that Kentucky will be hard pressed to score points against the #1 ranked pass defense in the country; I disagree. Let’s take a closer look ………..
Yes, South Carolina has been extremely effective against the pass this season as shown with their lofty ranking, but who has it actually faced that possess a legitimate air attack? USC has played four division 1-A teams, Louisiana-Lafayette, Georgia, LSU, and Miss. State. None of those names makes you gulp if you are playing man coverage for the Gamecocks. Let’s look at the passing numbers from those teams so far this season.
- Louisiana-Lafayette is currently ranked #100 in the nation in passing at 159 yards per game.
- Georgia is currently ranked #71 in the nation in passing at 207 yards per game
- LSU is currently ranked #61 in the nation in passing at 216 yards per game
- Miss. State is currently ranked #110 in the nation in passing at 136 yards per game.
So to recap, of the four teams USC has faced, there is an average of 179.5 yards passing per game, which would be good enough for 85th in the country.
I guess the list could be worse, but looking at those teams, their passing attacks are nothing to write home about.
Now on the contrary my friends, the Gamecock rushing defense is one of the worst in the SEC. They currently are giving up 201.2 yards per game on the ground. And if we visit some more stats, we find that the teams who lacked strong air arsenals, all have strong running numbers.
-Louisiana-Lafayette ranks #7 in the country in rushing
- LSU ranks #12 in the country in rushing
- Georgia ranks #33 in the country in rushing
- Miss State ranks #44 in the nation rushing
Of those four squads there is an average of 249 yards rushing per game, which would rank #24 in the nation.
So you ask, what does all of this mean?
Well, obviously you can run the ball on the cocks, but it also tells me that they have yet to be tested in the secondary against a sound passing game. I would venture to say the air attack they will see Thursday night will be far superior to anything USC has seen so far. Andre Woodson is now a legitimate Heisman contender and has weapons galore at all of the receiving positions. Kentucky is going to have success through the air, because at the end of the day, it is what they do best.
However, what so many outsiders fail to see is how efficient the running game has been for UK. The Cats currently stand #11 in the nation in rushing. As we discussed just moments earlier, you can definitely gash the cock’s defense on the ground. USC is going to face an offense that is balanced, very efficient, and at the same time does not make mistakes.
That spells bad news for Ol’ Steve, as Kentucky has one of the best play action passing games in all of the land. If the Cats can get the running game going, and by the looks of things, there should be no reason why they shouldn’t, the passing game is going to be dynamic.
A lot of eyes are going to open after Kentucky pours points on the board both through the air and on the ground against the Cocks. Then again, once you break things down a bit you can see why it is going to happen.
Balance, discipline, and talent. Steve’s boys have eyed two of those traits this season, but balance is a deadly combination that will eventually be the downfall of the USC secondary come Thursday night.
Of course, this is just my opinion. Take it up with Matt Jones if I am wrong.

2nd, go cats
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:29 pm
Great stats. I’ll reference those when I call the local Columbia (RT and the Sports Drive) today. MATT OR ROB……RT WANTS TO GET YOU ON THE AIR. RESPOND TO MY EMAIL SO I CAN GET YOU ON.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:33 pm
Great job. It’s funny to listen to the Cock fans brag about their defense… They have NO clue what they have coming on Thursday night.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:37 pm
God I hope we beat the cocks on Thursday and stick it to Steve Spurrier.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Rob Gidel? Email????

spurrier’s squad of cocks is going down
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:42 pm
There’s a scary amount of sexual violence in Brian’s comment.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:42 pm
so you can pass it because they haven’t stopped a good passing game and you can rush it because they haven’t been able to stop a solid rushing attack? does that seem contradictory to anyone else?
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:43 pm
lets start a thread of cock comments
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:43 pm
I’ve never been down on cocks. My sister has but not me. This game could go either way and I hope the cocks don’t pull it out.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:44 pm
stroke the cocks
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:45 pm
what is the size of the cocks line
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Stop playing with yourself. It’s not funny and you could go blind.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:46 pm
We’ve got the Cocks right where we want them.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:46 pm
the cocks are big overall, but the cocks secondary is undersized
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:48 pm
Spurrier’s cocks are big and strong but they have real trouble finishing.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:48 pm
those cocks will be ready on gameday, well need to match the cocks intensity
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:48 pm
Was at the LSU game and it rained off and on the whole game. Flynn, the LSU QB, was back after sitting out with an injury. Top receiver (Doucet) for LSU was out. Flynn passed poorly whole game, his receivers were open. He just missed them. Woodson won’t miss.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:49 pm
will the cocks run it up the middle?

October 3rd, 2007 at 12:52 pm
cocks. one of those words that sounds funny after saying it 20 times in a rows
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:54 pm
I have family in South Carolina. They all seem to really love the cocks. They also like to watch South Carolina play football.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:57 pm
Best cock saying ever by an ESPN announcer 2 years ago “These cocks are all over the place.”
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:58 pm
i don’t think beating the cocks will be too hard. Although they have a stong defense, there are too many guys on our offense that are great with balls in their hands. Their passing O isn’t that great, so expect the cocks to try and stick it down our throat. But our D line and linebackers will not stand for that, so the cocks will not be hitting the holes and will spend most of their time rubbing one off (dirt stains of course) Go Big Blue.

October 3rd, 2007 at 1:04 pm
Cats and Cocks!
Should be a good ‘ern, with the Cats scratching their way past the Cocks.
And poor ‘ole Steve Spurrier is going to end up with a bad case of the Cats!
I like the Cats BIG in this one. Let’s call it Cats 40 Cocks 21!
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:04 pm
can we just copy all of these jokes so we can use them next year because that is apparently what you have all done
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Too bad Wayne Chism doesn’t play for SC: “The cock’s Chism is all over the place!”
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:06 pm
34-have some fun
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:06 pm
After we win tomorrow night, Brooks should tell our team:
“I’m proud of you fellas. You all kept your head on a swivel, and that’s what you gotta do when you find yourself in a vicious cock fight.”
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:07 pm
35- cbs announcer last year during UT game–Chism was called for over the back-and I quote–”He has Chism all over his back

Everybody loves penis jokes. Great for children’s parties, wakes, and Bat Mitzvah’s!
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:07 pm
im sorry #36, just knew the jokes were coming, inevitable. They need to change their nickname.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:09 pm
the cocks always sag to the left on D, so we should run it right.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:09 pm
HAHA the jokes have been good guys. But let’s talk about the game. Someone predict Andre’s numbers…..

October 3rd, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Andre’… 31-42 for 354 yards 4 touchdowns, final score 48-28
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:13 pm
My MVP’s of the game
Offense-Little
Defense-Micah Johnson
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:15 pm
Tyrone Nix is not a fool. He’s not going to buy into this “hype” that we’re nothing more than a passing team that the national media has seemed to have latched on to.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:17 pm
I plan on laying back and taking it easy when watching the game. I did have a stroke of wisdom this morning. Let’s run the ball down their throat then when they least expect it Woodson can shoot it into the teeth of the defense. If we find trouble with the red zone, maybe we can turn the game around by pounding it in the endzone.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:18 pm
I just love playing with the Cocks! The way the balls toss around while the Cocks are in action just gets me hot under the collar! I think the Cocks definitely need to give it to the tight ends more often. Nothing would make me happier!! Cocks, balls, and tight ends!! MMMMM…I can’t wait!!
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:23 pm
i had a dream last night……our basketball team fails under Billy G,
and football becomes king in the bluegrass, but who cares can’t tailgate for bball!!!
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:27 pm
I like you Shawn. Good job
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:29 pm
I think we can definately pass on their secondary, but it HAS to start with the run. Joker Phillips has been very slow estabolishing the run game this year, especially in the Ark. game. He didn’t really start running until the second half, coincidentally, that’s when we started scoring. We have to run first to open up the passing game.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:33 pm
Is Rob on vacation? We were supposed to have a surprise visit today from a 3 star FB recruit. I’m curious who it was.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:34 pm
Ryan Wallace visted yesterday….no committment however. Still taking visits.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:38 pm
Thanks Shawn
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:38 pm
The cocks have no balls and are afraid to give it to the tight end. They feel it’s easier to use Wide Receivers.

Andre- 250yds 2td’s
Little- 160 2 td’s
Defence- 2int’s 1td (need to put pressure on the freshman QB)
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:53 pm
Smelley has never played on this kind of a national stage before, in a game with this much importance. I think if we can get to him, he will make mistakes. Should be able to shake a freshman with that much pressure already on him, not to mention OBC yelling in his ear.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:54 pm
UK 37 SC 24
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Get real…
Stats are for losers.
Some of you say you’re gonna score 40 points on us? Gimme a break. Lsu scored 28 and believe me, you’re not even close to being as good as LSU.
BTW…we held MSU to 140 rushing yards last week with the adjustments made. You people keep going with the “We are world beaters” attitude.
Have a good day.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:05 pm
Oh…one more thing…please continue to overlook our REDSHIRT freshman QB.
Our offense is on the verge of breaking out. Your defense, who can’t cover anyone, will probably be the victim.
Also keep in mind the we have talent, more that you across the board.
SOS probably has about 30 or so plays designed to pick apart your defense.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:09 pm
#60, #61, we are better than you at every skill position and the reason LSU only scored 28 is because they are not very good on offense.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:10 pm
we are not world beaters but we are better than you
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:10 pm
He…Gummybear…do a little research before spouting off. Our tightends have caught PLENTY of passes this year.
Some of you guys have NO CLUE.
You guys have a good team, no doubt, but to sit there and assume you’re gonna come into our house, in front of 80,000 plus and have your way with us is insane.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:13 pm
GoCats, if you think Little is better than Mike Davis and Corey Boyd you are in for a very rude awaking my friend.
I like Little, he’s a good tailback but he isn’t better than our top two guys.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:15 pm
good luck tomorrow
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:16 pm
Oh…you are not better than us. To be better you have to be good in three phases of the game, offense, defense and special teams.
To this point of the season, you’re better on offense because of the weak teams you have played.
None of the matter though, we’ll know who’s better about 10-11:00 Thursday night.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:17 pm
UK will LOOSE at SOUTH CAROLINA!!!!
I HOPE NOT but I have seen UK fall to many times when they’re not
suppose to. I just don’t want to get my hopes up. However, the key
is to run the ball down South Carolina’s throat. Use the run to control
the came and keep USC offense off the field. Then when the time is right
strike with the long ball.
If UK can win another huge road SEC game, it will be huge. It will put
Kentucky in a great position to loose only 4 games and maybe less.
There is nothing more I would love more than to stick it to Spurrier.
I missed 1st and 10 in ESPN. They were going to talk about why Spurrier
hates UK so much. Did anyone catch that and why?
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:17 pm
Good luck GoCats…and the rest of ya…
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:18 pm
UK’s offense is better than LSU’s offense. Is UK a better team? NO. Is the UK offense superior? ABSOLUTELY.
Now, go back to screaming sexually ambiguous chants with other dudes and prepare for your letdown.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:19 pm
I’m telling you guys….running on us is not going to be as easy as you think.
Stats are for losers.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:21 pm
Puuuleeze, we can debate who has the better running attack all day long
but there is one thing we can’t debate. Arkansas’s running attack is the
best in the Nation and we held them to 1 offensive TD. UL has the best
passing attack in the nation and we held them to 6 points in the 2nd half.
The name of Thursday’s game is Defense. Both suck but at least UK has guys who
make big plays.
South Carolina has nothing on offense that UK hasn’t seen and stopped before.
However, USC is favored and playing at home so if UK beats USC it will be
because UK is the better team.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:23 pm
I love how a South Carolina fan is on a UK website talking football.
Shows you how far UK has come. Never in a million years would I think
that a football fan of another school would spend his time on a UK website
talking football. Win or lose, this proves that UK is now a feared school
in football
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:24 pm
Hey Palmetto boy… what the hell are you doing over here? Are there Cats fans talking shit over on your blog? Do you have one? You need to head down to Green St. & enjoy Cockfest, or hang out at the Cockpit. Cock.
By the way, where’s “Know Your Enemy”? We need that feature to properly prepare for the game guys, come on.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Puuuleeze- Come on dude, the only reason LSU didn’t score 50 points is because it was pouring down rain the whole game. I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be sunny skies tomorrow. The only rain will be Andre’s TD passes. I don’t think we will have our way with you, but I do think we will win.
BTY, Corey Boyd couldn’t hold Rafael Little’s jockstrap.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:27 pm
how can you say we have not played anyone “Puuuleeze?”
We beat Louisville when they were ranked #9
We beat ARK at ARK
The divsion 1-AA teams we played were a hell of a lot better than the ones you have played:
We beat Eastern KY- champs of the OVC
We beat Kent State- champs of the MAC
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:27 pm
The cocks won’t be able to get it up for this game. They are going to be afraid of ED….Eminent Doom.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:28 pm
wow cfunk…you are the man…I guess you told me…
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:28 pm

73- He might as well try it now, he definately can’t come around during BBall season.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:31 pm
I remember a time when SC was the worst team in the SEC a few years back. They have 4 good seasons and they think they are a powerhouse.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:32 pm
eminent? It’s imminent you idiot.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:34 pm
If stats are for losers, tell me this:
If you had a million dollars to bet on a passing contest, would you put that money on Woodson or Smelley? Im gonna pick the QB with better stats everytime.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:34 pm
good analysis.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:34 pm
That South Carolina fan is scared. The whole SEC is in fear of Kentucky. Wow, who would have thunk.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Uh…Ukfaninbama…
The games at night, it will be dark, no sunny skies. Although, the is a 60% chance of rain. You know NOTHING about football if you can honestly sit there and believe Little is better than Boyd. He isn’t…stop drinking the blue koolaide.
demoCrAT (that tells me alot)
Are you talking about the sorry Lewisville team that lost to Syracuse, should have lost to Mid. Tenn and struggle to beat a bad NC State team? You mean that powerhouse Lewisville team?
Your win at Arky was nice (even though they can’t throw the ball, guess what, we can)any road win in this conference is nice, including our road win over then #11 Georgia.
We’ve only played one D-II team, SC Sate, the favorites to win the MEAC this year.

October 3rd, 2007 at 2:36 pm
When Dave Odom gets real excited he looks like a hamster at a wank-a-thon.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:37 pm
79- Our primary ofensive players are pretty sound. We had plenty of mistakes, game decisions, play calling, special teams, and a couple by true freshman RB’s. But, for the most part, our offense don’t make many mistakes. The ball is usually in Andre’s or Little’s hands, and they just don’t mess up much. I agree 100%, that it says a lot that we were still able to pull the win off, going away.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:40 pm
we havent played any DII teams dumbass
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:41 pm

October 3rd, 2007 at 2:42 pm
86- You guys had one descent game throwing the ball and you are a passing team all of the sudden. I guess that’s why your qb just got yanked for a freshman, huh? I’ll bet every jack-leg in Columbia is dancing around the stadium, praying for rain so you guys can keep it close.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:43 pm
CaliCat…
Scared of who…UK? A team that hasn’t beat us this decade?
demoCrAT…stats NEVER win ball games…we don’t think we’re a powerhouse, you guys have that market cornered. If I remember correctly, you team was the celler dweller TWO years ago.
UKfaninBama…
Why would I talk smack about basketball? If we could EVER dump dump Dave Odom, we might be able to talk smack a little smack.

Never said stats win games, but they paint a picture.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:47 pm
DemoCrAT…
You can tell when someone has their panties in a wad, they start calling names.
UKfaninBama…
We’ve ALWAYS been a passing team…ALWAYS. Blake Mitchell is stupid so he was pulled by SOS because he couldn’t follow simple instrustions.
I’m telling you guys…we are no pushover like some of you seem to think we are. I find it rather amusing that if you do win the game, it will be an upset even though you’re ranked two spots higher.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:48 pm
Sheesh…I gotta stop posting when I’m on the phone…
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:49 pm
I hear the cocks are planning to ram it down our throat!
(referring to their rushing attack of course)
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:50 pm
Stats mean something, check Little’s stats, and then look at boyd’s, then you can leave that subject alone. You may need some of this blueberry MOONSHINE, it’ll clear your head up so you can think a little mor clear.

Puuleeeze does make a good point about Arkansas’s passing attack. It is on a middle school level right now. I see Arkansas losing a few more times this year.
But, who on here is acting like we are going to roll over USC. I don’t think any UK fans feel that we are that good yet. We are evenly enough matched that we win most games in our house and USC will most likely win in Columbia.

October 3rd, 2007 at 3:06 pm
Quick question for you guys.
What ever happened to Dennis Johnson from several years back? I remember that guy coming out of high school as the real deal.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:09 pm

October 3rd, 2007 at 3:12 pm
#103. Forget what RBs split time, that doesn’t mean anything. Look at
Yards per carry. UKs top five RBs have more yards per carry than USC top two.
If you have running backs that split carries than the states you have to go by
are Yards per carry.
How can you say USC RBs are better?
UK has the Heisman front runner who is a QB and one of the best passing attacks
in the country.
With that said, UK still has over 400 more rushing yards than USC does.
How can a UK team known for passing with the best QB in the nation have over 400
rushing more than USC and you still think USC has the better RBs?
I don’t know who will win, USC for sure is the favorite but when it comes to knowledge of
the game you sure are stupid.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:13 pm
Little- 6.7 ypc 109.4 ypg
Boyd- 4.9 ypc 66 ypg
Little averages 3 more carries a game than Boyd, not much.
You tell me how that adds up to Boyd being better than Little.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:13 pm
how is rafeal little not better he has more than 200 more yards than either of them and a better rushing average
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Very good writeup. Shows just a few more reasons why we will beat the cocks. And beyond that, we have played probably the most prolific passing team, and the best running team in the nation and beat both, so I think our D is a little better.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:16 pm
I bet if UK wins that Puuuleeze won’t be on here to take what he dishes.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:17 pm
Your logic is soo funy…And your Kats have played a Dead duck in Louv, and Arky who lost to Bama and Bama lost to UGA…We beat UGA in their house…Who does have a good passing team and running attack…Be careful Cat fans…The Cocks are coming for you. USC has played two top 25 teams as of right now both are STILL RANKED (1-1). CATS your two teams that are suppose to be the backbone of your #8 Ranking are where? thats right OUT OF THE TOP 25…WE WELCOME YOU TO THE COCKPIT ON THUR…BUT BELIEVE THAT YOUR NOT GOING HOME HAPPY!!! I Believe Coach, I Believe…Shhh Were hunting Cat!
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:18 pm
The COCKS r going down!!!!!
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:20 pm
Screw that… Cats EAT Chickens all day long….. Ur day in the sun is done.. When night falls the CATs are on the prowl… We’re going to run the score up too just so Ole’
Spurrier will wish that he were in the NFL still

We average 46.6 ppg (19 more than SC), 224 yds rushing (84 more), 269 yds passing (45 more). We haven’t been held to under 40 pts so far. SC’s defense should be the best we’ve seen so far, but we still get at least 35. USC’s offense hasn’t scored over 38 even against SC St. No way they score more than us. UK 38 SC 27.

113…I’ve coached and won football games so please, do not try and insult me with those “you know nothing about football so there” comments…I now lots and lots about the game. Stats look good on paper but there is much, much more about a player than stats but I’ll take the bait. Two games this year we threw the ball much more than we ran it because Mitchell (who has been benched, thank goodness)need work in game situations so the numbers are down a little but in the end, you guys will see how much better…and tougher our running backs are tomorrow night.
You children of the blue koolaide keep up the childish name calling, it only goes to show I have gotten under you skin.
117…I’ll be back, either way. Question is, will you?

“We thought we had done something good beating Clemson. And then Kentucky beat ‘em also. And Clemson was a real good team. At one point in the year they were a dang good team. I don’t know exactly what happened to them.”

CLASSIC and TRUE

And could you tell us about your coaching triumphs?
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:32 pm
““you know nothing about football so there” comments…I now lots and lots about the game”
Come on man, ‘now’? Really? You even quoted the correct spelling in your post.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:32 pm
Maybe he needs a job. I’m hiring at the moment.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:33 pm
#123 Puuleeze, the debate is running back and Little is better. The
numbers don’t lie. Coach my a##, pee wee maybe.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:35 pm
127…you wouldn’t believe me so why should I bother?
128…I saw that after it was posted and franticly looked for the edit button
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:36 pm
Trust me I make more money than a football coach Puuleeze. I started
a company from nothing and now I don’t even have to work. My life is
great. I do what I want when I want and I make a good living doing it.
So if you need a job…. well I wouldn’t hire you. I am a buisness man and
hiring you would be bad buisness because like football buisness is all about
the numbers and you have no clue what numbers mean.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:37 pm
I will give you the benefit of the doubt, because lord knows I have wanted to edit things before. That being said, Little is the better RB.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Little by far is the better Running Back no matter what happens
Thursday night. Heck Locke maybe better than any of them when it is
all said and done.

130…Little looked good against the little opponents with ZERO defense you’ve played.
FWIW…I was a GA at North Greenville before taking a high school gig, then took over the family business in 1998.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:42 pm
#136 you know anything about mergers and acquisitions? You know how to split companies
apart for profit
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:43 pm
#138…no…willing to learn though;)
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Puuuleeze- Come on, do you honestly think you guys can score 41 points? Leave that kind of stuff to us. But honestly, I think it will be a very good game. Like John madden says, all games are decided by 5 BIG plays. Whoever makes those 5 big plays will win. I’m definately looking forward to it though!
bty, Dennis Johnson played for the 49′ers for a few years, but didn’t pan out.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:45 pm
I’d love the opportunity to beat spurrier by 40. Don’t think it will happen but I hope papaw brooks goes for the jugular if he gets the chance.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:47 pm
WOW…uofkcats will not hire me…bummer.
I run a business myself pal…a very…VERY successful business.
Anyway…every coach worth his weight is gold knows that STATS do not mean everything. Never try to coach football because while numbers in football do mean something, they don’t mean everything…that my little blue friend is football 101.

October 3rd, 2007 at 3:50 pm
After cummin’ out hard, the COCKS will PETER out and go limp. The superiority of Andre’s Air Attack, and Raphael Runnin’ Rage will definately wear down the COCKS STAYING power. After a viagra break at the half, The COCKS will be standin at attention to watch, as Their yet untested secondary peters out, under the relentless pounding given by the Cats. Claw marks on their backs, The Cocks will be left standing alone to stroke their own over-inflated egos.
LEONARD’S LOSER: COCKS
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:50 pm
UKfaninBama…yes, I do believe we can score 41 on you guys, just like you think you can score 40+ on us.
It should be a great game though…can’t wait. I’ll be at my tailgate about 4:00…gonna be fun.
Thanks for the info on Dennis Johnson.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:51 pm
Shit!! I wish I had my own business. I’m stuck in this damn cubicle, working for the GOV. You guys know I’m waisting a lot of tax dollar$$$$

October 3rd, 2007 at 3:54 pm
THIS game will be won or lost on SPECIAL TEAMS. We have made mistakes all year that haven’t cost us, YET. If we keep them up, they surely will. Go CATS.
UK 21
USC 17
Burton has a punt return for TD. WRITE THAT DOWN!
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:54 pm
GO BIG BLUE!!!!!
Does anyone know the spread on the game?
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:55 pm
It’s easy to make the cats look good if you don’t show the numbers on the other side. What excellent defensive team have the cats faced again this year? Oh that’s right, NO ONE!
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:56 pm
Can you imagine how many points we could score if we had a year with someone like Abney?
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:59 pm
138…It appears we’re in the same line of work… sort of…interesting. My company started out as a small business brokerage firm and have grown to the point where we are now buying some of the businesses we broker through another branch of my company. We’ve bought several companies through stock purchases as well as like kind exchanges.
I also broker corporate aircraft with a buddy of mine.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:00 pm
142. Interesting. Since your business, bs, and coaching prowess go hand in hand, I suggest you turn your van into a sheepdog to grow your clientele.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:00 pm

i made millions in the stock market and i am wastin my time on a sports blog, on an opposing teams site. i have no life. i cant find a decent gamecock board to go to, so i will try to annoy you all.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:06 pm
#146 it isn’t hard to make lots of money and/or start your own company.
It is alot easier than you think. People with the big bucks (I mean big bucks
and the gov.) want everyone to think it is.
Mark Cuban said it best. He said (not quoted) something kind of like this.
The key to making money is easy. Borrow money and let others pay it off. Let
other people pay off your debt. In other words let others build your equity for
you.
I know it doesn’t sound simple but if you really think about it, that is how really
wealthy people make they’re money. Pefect example is in the real-estate. Borrow
money, buy houses, rent them, and let others pay off the morgage. That is just an example
You have to be willing (not always) to live poor for awhile to make lots of money.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:06 pm
148…We blocked a punt last week, had a punt returned for a TD called back because of a penalty and two returns of more than 40 yards.
We blocked a punt at LSU and had a return for 44 yards.
Remember this name…Chris Culliver…he’ll be returning kicks and he has big time jets.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:07 pm
the gamecocks cant do wrong

October 3rd, 2007 at 4:12 pm
Puuuleeze the only problem with the buisness we are in is that
people think we are spoiled rich A-holes. If you ever feel bad don’t.
I don’t know your back ground but I grew up very poor with nothing. My wife and I
scarificed alot to get where we are now.
What I am trying to tell you is that it is better to be thought of as a rich A-hole
than it is a poor-nothing. People say money doesn’t buy happiness. Well they are right
but it is better to live your life the right way, be very happy, and have lots of money than
it is to be poor and happy.
I been on both sides of the track and I will never go back to being poor.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:15 pm
and puuuleeze, after 10 years running the family business, it must be in a sad state of economic affairs, since you do not believe in numbers.
P.S. Tell the girls at Heartbreakers the Kentucky Boys will be back after the Game so they can have some real COCK!
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Now these two are ready to be best buddies since the money is right.

You’re right UofK…I’ve walked into a few meetings and could feel people buring thru me with their eyes. They hated me because of what I was trying to do with their business. I wasn’t hurting them. A lot of times they were in over their heads…owed tons of money and couldn’t show one dime of positive cash flow. They hated me because I took a major financial burden off of their hands. That’s business.
At the end of the day I go home to my wife and six year old son. Like you, we have worked our asses off to put ourselves into the position we’re in now. Damn if I’m gonna give any of it up.
We go to every USC football game and basketball game. We also go to many road games as well. Life is good.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:25 pm
South Carolina has always sucked in football and basketball. And ur running backs could not start for
any average junior college team. And ur qb? LMAO He is total douchebag- a wannabe like ur Sunbelt talent
team. Now go back and crawl in ur hole dumbass- UK is gonna whip ur asses up and down the field like
like the little bitches u idiots are. And tell ur basketball coach Yoda we said hi.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:25 pm
I’m glad I came to this website to learn about finances and hear people tell me how rich and happy they are. Anyone know where I can find a good UK sports blog?
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:26 pm
163…business numbers and football numbers…two COMPLETELY different animals. In my line of work, all I see is numbers…P&L numbers to be specific.
Heartbreakers? Those are some skanky women in that place man…sheesh.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:43 pm
You keep mentioning Blue Kool-aid, you must not get it. Kool-aids Ice Blue Rasberry Lemonade… Is THE BEST kool-aid there is. Say what you will, but don’t knock it til you try it jerk.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Is this the Wall Street Journal? Why don’t you two tycoons get together and discuss your next corporate raid. Maybe spill some wine and profess your inner Reagan or your man-crush for Phil Mickelson. You could tail gate and maybe miss the game. This is football!
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:49 pm
Puuuleeze enlighten us- what has South Carolina ever done in football? Dont you guys have an overall losing record?
I mean you Carolina fans act like you have the tradition of Bama or LSU- I mean you guys have never been
a national factor. South Carolina is known for their NIT basketball- thats it.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:50 pm
#170 Life is good. People don’t realize how easy it is to make money.
Money isn’t something you have but it is something you move. Build
equity and life is good. Even low income people can build alot of
equity by the time they retire. When people ask me how to make money,
the first thing I tell them is; stop buying expensive cars you can’t
really afford. It’s funny how so many low income - middle class people
buy these expensive cars and don’t even realize that they are shooting
themselves financially.
Anyways, GO BIB BLUE and beat those Cocks.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:51 pm
There is nothing more that would make my week than to whoop up on
USC.

October 3rd, 2007 at 5:03 pm
173…you won a bowl game last year for the first time in how long??…before last year, when was you last winning season…? When was the last time you beat us? Two can play that game pal.
Look around, go to UK boards, you guys are talking just as much trash as we are…try again.
What does ANY of that have to do with tomorrow night?
Overall, we have a winning record, thanks for asking.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:06 pm

been a second tier program. What championships has you guys won? USC football has been a joke from square one.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:26 pm
You got that right weezee.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:32 pm
BTW I wish you cock fans would stop referring to South Carolina as USC or Carolina- USC is Southern Cal and Carolina
is North Carolina. Just as ur sports programs suck so does ur school suffer from an identity crisis. Your nickname
of cocks is deadon- I will give u that.

I’m giving the advantage to Kentucky for two reasons. 1) They can run the ball. 2) USC has thrown their share of picks this year (8), and Kentucky’s defense has been able to intercept the ball a good number of times (9).
October 5th, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Win the turnover battle, win the game. That’s how it turned out.
Blue Ice…Kiss my a$$. We ARE THE USC. We were known as USC 30 years before Southern Cal was around. Stop calling your team a football team. Also, Carolina (South) was admitted to the union BEFORE N. Carolina was. NORTH Carolina was governed by SOUTH Carolina for several years before NORTH Carolina formed it’s own government.
38-23 and should have been worse had SOS not taken a knee because of his respect for Brooks.
For the rest of you guys with a little class. Good game between two of the top schools in the conference.
