and South Carolina will never be a top-10 team. They don’t (and won’t) ever have the depth.

Disgree completely, but I can easily see why you feel that way. The fact is, however, that they continue to load up in recruiting, and probably are going to have more depth in 2010 than at anytime since they joined the SEC in 1992. Just because Spurrier didn’t make the overnight turnaround doesn’t mean it isn’t coming.

If Ole Miss can be a top 10 team, then SC certainly can be. They have an intrinsic advantage in EVERY facet…much larger budget, SC HS football much better than MS, better facilities, etc.

Do I think SC can be a consistent power? Nope. Can they have the peculiar excellent season? Yep, and I expect 2010 to be that season.

As for Wilson being overrated, tell me how many times you watched him last year? I saw 6 games…overrated, my ass.

You know it’s true.

I am excited to watch Maryland-Cal because I want to like Cal this year, but know nothing about them other than Best, and Maryland pretty much embarrassed them last year. Would not be surprised if they do again, though I would by no means bet on it

I would be very surprsied. Besides Cal having more talent and the memory of last year beatdown, they are paying them back in the start time department. Last year Maryland gave them the early east coast game, which was way fucking early for Cals inernal clock. So of course Cal went night game for this game, meaning it will be 10pm for Maryland by kickoff.

GO HOGS.

Yes please.

Diesel, that game on TV?

Big 10 network will have every B10 game not on espn/abc. You’ll have to check your cable, but there should be multiple B10 Alternate channels, so if there are several games on at once it might be on one of the Alts.
