The Book: 2003 Football

[1st and Goal]

I think it's the Ramada Northeast at the intersection of Two Notch Road and I-77.

The stadium is about 5 miles from the hotel.

Thanks, it gives us a chance to visit a little.

[1st and Goal]

A little advice on parking for the game. Once on I-77 headed towards the stadium (you will see the signs) exit onto Bluff Road. The stadium is on Bluff Road, past the 'hood

Once on Bluff Rd follow it to the fairgrounds, just past the stadium. Turn into the fairgrounds and they will direct you to where alot of visiting teams get together.

There are many places to park around Williams Brice but the later you arrive, the further away you will have to park. Our place seats 82,000 and it will be filled, so get there early because the un-reserved parking fills up fast (half of the fairgrounds are reserved for Gamecock Club members)

Alot of tailgaiting takes place in the fairgrounds, walk around, we are friendly folk who like to have a good time. Walk up to the RV's, one always has a DJ spinning great tunes.

Enjoy

I think I can understand your posts much better when they are in Spanish.

From the Daily Advertiser

"Cajun coach Rickey Bustle’s thrown-together 2002 first recruiting class, a six-week project after his hiring, had 12 never-before-signed players. Of that group, two never reported to camp last fall, and the other 10 are still a part of the program one year later.

Of Bustle’s 2003 spring signee class, only three out of 31 (several counting against the previous year’s maximum numbers) are not currently in fall drills. Chad Beck decided on baseball and is currently in a junior college program in that sport, and Port Barre product Abdule Levier is still recovering from a major knee injury suffered in spring track season and is expected to enroll this spring so as not to lose a year of eligibility. Only one of the 31,Paul Eli, was an academic victim.

Guru, with Blappert moving to TE, what do you think the starting D line will look like?

[CajunGuru]

I got there late today Eric, but Kendrick Haynes is the man. I also like Benson, I have yet to see him in full pads. Alot of players wearing green jerseys today, most of them were Offensive-lineman. I look forward to Saturday's scrimmage to see some of these guys play more reps. I think the rotation is going to be Taylor,Haynes and Benson for sure. But they need to find a few more DL for the travel squad. Remember after the spring game, I stated that I thought Blappert played to high to stay at DT. I have to admit that I thought he would be moved to DE. Alot of positions still open until the first game.

[Cajun1997]

I have made it to about 3 practices and have not noticed Ferguson or Cutler (the 2 freshman), could their good play have been part of the reason for this move? or is Williams probably the 4th DT? I think he has switched to #50
