damn you! I'll be working (or at least pretending to) at this time tomorrow. I will have a beer cracked at 12:25 though, and all this beer-in-the-shower talk is making me contemplate having one tomorrow morning, despite my unfortunate requirement of working a 1/2 day.

a little bit of background on USC, via Palmetto Scoop articles:
"Don't Worry, Be Happy"
http://www.palmettoscoop.com/2009/08/31/dont-worry-be-happy/
synopsis:
1. QB Stephen Garcia could be third or fourth best QB in SEC, and has done alot of work in the past year
2. new O-Line coach
3. Stable of running backs with alot of talent
4. Potential of having RB, QB and WR all play at high level at the same time
5. Spurrier is excited

"Gamecock Fans Could Be Disappointed Again"
http://www.palmettoscoop.com/2009/09/01/gamecock-fans-could-be-disappointed-again/
synopsis
1. Really tough SOS (NCSU mention)
2. overall team youth/inexperience, despite talent/potential (secondary, WR, RB, QB)
3. no bonafide star offensive player
4. kicker Ryan Succop gone
5. QB Garcia's past troubles, on and off field

Is the vet school still free parking?

9/2/2009 12:33:48 PM

Lots of young talent means that they probably wont reach there potential till the end of the year.

Glad we got em early

9/2/2009 12:35:41 PM

i think RW will throw a pick tomorrow. i just have the feeling the streak will end in week 1 and then we can all move on.

obviously, i hope im dead wrong. but Culliver is an all-sec type of player in their secondary and he's usually hawking around the ball.

However, i think Owen is one of the best, if not THE best, route runner in the ACC...

^^that won't mean a thing if he can't get off the line.

9/2/2009 12:47:37 PM

route running starts with getting off the jam

This should be played before football games.

There mascot is a freakin chicken. I hope they bring Sir Big Spur (that's the chicken's official name) and it can be scared just like Wofford's terrier when we played them.

9/2/2009 1:15:59 PM

re: spencer getting off the jam. Our receivers didn't have too much of a problem last year and their D was better, we just dropped balls. We also didn't have a problem on anyone else really in teh conference and they have another year under their belt.

"He also led the league in yards-per-catch, as he averaged a staggering 22.3 yards per reception. The next closest among starting wide receivers was North Carolina's Hakeem Nicks, who averaged 18 yards per catch. The mark set a school record and good for third nationally. "

if Spencer can hold on to the ball...this might be his year to actually lead the nation instead of third.
third nationally isnt shabby

9/2/2009 1:51:01 PM

If he caught the ball he would be the number one receiver in the nation easy, hes got speed, the ability to get open, and just needs to shed those butterfingers.

9/2/2009 1:52:50 PM

yeah, he can definitely get open just got to hold onto the ball. He needs to picture the ball as a garter cause he had no problems catching that at the wedding we went to.

9/2/2009 1:54:39 PM

Its times like this where I wish I was employed by NC State as the person in charge of the intro videos for the games and game day atmosphere before the games

one can dream

Lets be realistic here, we don't have a WR who could be considered best in the country.

9/2/2009 2:05:31 PM

^ If spencer can have the third best average among receivers nationally with all the fail catches and missed touchdown opportunities, then he can easily be one of the best with a good season.

9/2/2009 2:21:00 PM

what's spencer's 40? he may not be a top college WR this year but if he can run in the low 4.4s he could easily go pretty high in the draft, a la troy williamson

9/2/2009 2:22:01 PM

^^true, but it's tough to keep up with those pass-happy big 12 offenses

TOB and Bible like to run a more balanced attack and spread the love all around

longest 28hrs ever.

9/2/2009 2:34:12 PM

^^^^^ Yea I much prefer a team that has a solid ground attack, but with Wilson and Glennon both having great arms, its not a stretch to associate Spencers skill level with that of the nations top receivers. Sure he might not get the yards they have, but TD and completion % are more important imo.

9/2/2009 2:40:03 PM

any truth to the rumors that Glennon is supposed to get a lot of playing time tomorrow?

9/2/2009 2:47:43 PM

^I don't think he's going to get a lot of playing time. I believe he's getting 1 or 2 series in the 2nd quarter.

9/2/2009 2:51:50 PM

TOB has said that Glennon would see some snaps cause he didn't want the situation where something happened to wilson and then be thrown in with no game experience.

9/2/2009 2:51:52 PM

at least one series in each half for the first few games is what i've read

9/2/2009 3:07:29 PM

let him play both complete games vs murray st and garder-webb for all i care

let's get this first win though. hopefully no more than 2 series for him, unless he's destroying it

9/2/2009 3:18:01 PM

why would you play 2 quarterbacks in a big game like this if you didn't have to?

especially when you have the best qb in the ACC

let him get experience against cupcakes

jesus christ i can not focus at work. My mind is completely shot thinking about tomorrow night and this weekend.

and i have a lot i should be doing

9/2/2009 3:49:05 PM

jeez, do y'all not read anything in the weeks prior to the game? TOB has been said multiple times over the past month or so that Glennon will see playing time in the first game. He's said that it's not definite when or for how long, they're going to do it by series or situation and as the game dictates/allows.

and, ^yes, i couldn't have said it better myself. I don't know that i've ever been this consumed/disabled by a season opener.
