You may now return to your normal lives.
Here's Frank Martin's response to my question tonight when I asked him if it was worth it in the end to schedule top 10 teams, compared to two years ago when the schedule turned out (because of injuries/transfers to opposing teams) to be easier on paper than expected.
Angel Reese was pretty animated tonight after losing to the

So Freddie Kitchens was an analyst at USC last season. Now works on staff at UNC.
Heels defensive lineman Kaimon Rucker said Saturday UNC's defensive line could "obviously tell when USC was about to go in to a pass."
Some have expressed that Kitchens helped prep those players…
Just got off the phone with the great Steve Spurrier. Asked him about Will Muschamp's firing.
"Well, he's not going away empty-pocketed. He knows how to get big contracts, I'll tell you that."
@abc_columbia
I have no problems with Mike Bobo making a business decision, leaving South Carolina to take a raise at Auburn.
But the fact that Bobo, who openly criticized his players this year for opting out and bettering their own livelihoods, is damning and incredibly self-righteous.
Muschamp on Bentley not being named SEC Player of the Week: “The Conference has a saying ‘it just means more’, but it ‘just means more depending on the logo you’re wearing.’”

Tomorrow, the "Freshies" will play their last game at CLA together.
Four years ago, that No. 1 recruiting class came to Columbia. Since then, they've posted a record of 126-8 and NEVER lost back-to-back games.
@dawnstaley
today on the culture that class created at USC.

end Clemson's 40-game home winning streak.
USC wins its first game against Clemson since 2013.
And for the first time in school history, USC has back-to-back wins over top 10 teams.
Hilarious. New

goes to take a picture with his buddies after signing... one of them has a Clemson hoodie on. Rogers notices...
For the first time in the history of the SEC, a QB (Jake Bentley) threw for over 500 yards and 5 TDs against a top 5 team. He didn't get any recognition from the SEC... instead, co-offensive honors went to Tua and Shurmur.
Here was Muschamp's reaction today.
@abc_columbia
Spurrier on USC: “I didn’t leave South Carolina because I disliked coaching. We had a mess of a team, and I was the head coach and I created it and made a bunch of mistakes. Players didn’t like each other, coaches didn’t like each other, it was time for me to get out of there.”

women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley will be honored with a statue in downtown Columbia.
The statue will be erected at the corner of Main and Gervais across from the Statehouse in early 2024 according to multiple reports tonight.
Asked
@CoachWMuschamp
if it gets any easier playing Florida now that most of his former players are graduated/in the NFL.
Muschamp: "No, because they have a good team."
Listen to the rest of his bite though. So apparent the love he has for all his former guys.

Just texted with
@austin_stogner
…he tells me he’s entering the transfer portal.
“I love South Carolina it will always have a special place in my heart. I just want to go somewhere a little closer to home.”
Wish that guy nothing but the best. Outstanding human being.
NEW: South Carolina is becoming the first major college athletic department to partner with a sports marketing agency to establish an in-house name, image and likeness firm, where Gamecock athletes have free access to deal facilitation, content generation and branding services.
I love stories like this man.
Gamecock RB Kevin Harris was a three-star RB... had offers from Air Force, Army, Cornell, Elon, Furman, Mercer, MTSU, Navy, The Citadel, Tulane, and Wofford.
Now... he's second in the SEC in rushing, behind only Alabama's Najee Harris.
Announcement from USC today: Gamecock football players will now have the opportunity to opt-in to monetize on their jersey sales ahead of the 2022 college football season. South Carolina joins a list of select schools that will offer the option for its student-athletes.
Multiple sources tell me this morning
#Gamecock
QB Spencer Rattler could be announcing his decision today.
He and USC officials met late into the night to discuss his future (whether to return to USC or turn pro).

Muschamp on why Florida hasn’t developed consistency at the QB position: “I’m the head coach at South Carolina...ask Dan. I was asked that question too many times...I think I’ve hit my quota.”

We heard the happiest news today: “Dad’s cancer-free.”
The last seven months were excruciating for my family, watching our guy fight like hell to win the battle against a terrible disease. But through it all, my dad was actually the most positive of the entire family.

I’m an emotional wreck this morning. Yesterday, the vets told us Wilbur needed emergency surgery on his abdomen, a procedure expected to cost around $5,000, something we’d struggle to afford. We set up a gofundme page, and in less than 24 hours, we met our goal. God is good.
