South Carolina has a daunting challenge this Saturday as they travel down to Tuscaloosa to face the #2 Crimson Tide. This challenge just got a little tougher as the university just confirmed that RB Jarvis Giles is suspended for the Alabama game. Per the norm, the suspension is for an undisclosed violation of team rules. It remains to be seen the duration of Giles’ suspension. Giles will certainly be missed as he is an integral part of the offense...
It’s a sad day for you Wildcats fans. It looks like starting QB Mike Hartline may be out for the remainder of the season. Hartline suffered a devastating knee injury during Saturday’s loss to South Carolina 26-28. The results of the MRI have not been released, but all evidence is pointing to a torn MCL. Even though some fans have been calling for his replacement, from a players’ perspective the Wildcats are losing their top QB. Let’s hope for...
South Carolinais heading into Saturday’s match-up against Kentucky without star TE Weslye Saunders. Saunders injured his ankle in last week’s beat-down of South Carolina State. The 6’5 TE aggravated the ankle which has given him troubles before in the past. In his absence, SC will be forced to start Justice Cunningham. Cunningham has seen action in all of South Carolina’s games this season so they will have some experience to turn to while Saunders recovers.

The team released a statement late Friday night confirming the torn ACL and stated that Robertson is scheduled for surgery in the coming weeks. Robertson is listed as a junior so he...

According to UGA president Michael Adams, tailgaters left behind 70 tons of trash following Georgia’s Sept. 12th game against South Carolina. That’s right, SEVENTY tons. Some fans even used the lawns as toilets by going both number 1 and 2 on campus grounds. That’s expected behavior for UGA VII, but certainly not for adults. These disgusting antics were met...
Ole Miss DE Greg Hardy will not suit up this Saturday for the Rebels’s second game of the season against Southeastern Louisiana. Hardy sprained his ankle on September 6th during Ole Miss’s game against Memphis and it is still giving him trouble.
