No Magic Left Under the Visor ...

Cam Newton and Auburn Pounds S. Carolina 56-17 in SEC Championship Game....


     Somewhere in Atlanta, there is a Florence attorney sitting depressed at a local bar, staring at his Bombay Sapphire and Tonic - wondering what could have been.... For P-Luv and other Gamecock fans, reality came in quick and harshly yesterday:  Auburn is the best team in the SEC, and maybe the country. We'll find out in January, when they play Oregon. The first one to score 60 points wins...


    No, coach Spurrier couldn't muster up enough magic from his playbook - or his visor - to avenge South Carolina's loss to the Tigers earlier in the year, a game SC should have probably one. Perhaps they could duplicate the effort shown there, and fix a couple things, but three things were evident: SC got a little better, Auburn got WAY better, and the best player in college football is Stephen Garcia ..... of course, I mean Cam Newton. His dad may be looking for some $$, but he'll see some soon enough in the NFL. Cha-Ching !!!!


   In the battle of the Best in the West and the Beast of the East (was there really any beast this year?), the Gamecocks might have been the 5th best team in the SEC... In games like this, talent usually rises to the top. But, this was by far the best effort South Carolina football has had in the Reino Era (1996-present), so there is definitely hope for the future.... The Offense is good.  Tighten up that D a bit, and we might be somewhere big next year....

Hey those Chickens beat us. But the SEC is not a tough conference this year. Auburn is a great team and Alabama pretty good. Other than that they suck.

Moye--I reckon you forgot about LSU and Arkansas? Both of which are ranked above the ACC champs! Being the ACC is like being the tallest midget...teg
