The story that is being reported fuels all of the conspiracy theories about arrests in Columbia. Evidently, 2 non-students walked into the Russell House, walked up to a 5 players eating lunch, said something and then hauled off and punched a player. Police came and sorted things out. Based on the testimony of several witnesses, it was an unprovoked attack and no charges will be filed against the players.
There have been many complaints by folks down here, including one of the Board of Trustees members about the appearance that the Columbia PD and USC Police "looking" for opportunities to bust Carolina Football players. I don't know that I buy that myself, but when you have some schmuck walk off the street and try to get a fight started with players, it makes one wonder.....what the heck's going on here?
As for the game Saturday, I think it will be closer than the experts think, but in the end, I think it goes the way of the Dawgs.
p.s. Jaytrain- You must live around here to be so informed about the Gamecocks. I have always been amazed at the "inside" information that you post. What's your connection?
