LOHD staff hopes you enjoyed our "live blogging" as this will be a feature each game so please make sure to tune-in as it will be a great resource to use while watching a game. We here at LOHD, had some twitter issues while trying to update from the stadium but again if you tuned in the "live blogging" then you did not miss a beat while watching ESPN.
Take a look at this video from the USC Gamecocks soccer match against the College of Charleston. Seems C of C didn't like the fact that USC was doing the things necessary to win. USC won 2-1.
Gets good about 13 seconds into the clip when CofC's #10 comes in and gets a cheap shot on USC's Bradlee Baladez. Nonetheless interesting and safe to say these two teams do not like each other. Should be fun to watch when they meet again. CofC you suck.
Coach Spurrier announced that Ladi Ajiboye and Spencer Lanning have been named team captains, along with returning captains Cliff Matthews and Patrick DiMarco.
Former Minnesota Twins third baseman Brian Buscher has joined the USC coaching staff as a student assistant.
USC junior outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. has been rated the No. 3 best prospect for Team USA this summer by Baseball America. Bradley had a stellar summer with the U.S. Collegiate National Team batting .318 (21-for-66) with 13 runs scored a homer and 11 RBI as the Red, White & Blue earned a silver medal at the 2010 V FISU World University Championships in Tokyo, Japan.
UGA running back Washaun Early was arrested early this morning in a hit-and-run. He hit a parked car while driving through campus and was picked up by campus police and after checking surveillance video determined it was Early. He was also charged with driving with a suspended license.Story is still developing…
This Gamecocks Podcast is worthy of a listen as we discuss Gamecocks Football, Practices thus far and the NCAA investigation.
Joining the call are this Gamecocks Blog regulars cast of characters (Moose, the General and Flounder). We also have a special guest, Buck, from The Rubber Chickens. Together, we tackle disccussions on: the strength of the team heading into 2010, the weakness, biggest concern, who we would start at RB for Game 1, the most underrated player on the team, if we would play Connor Shaw and much more.

You guys may recall that we use to call this "Gamecock Clippings" and we may come back (so other USC blogs don't steal our idea) to it but trying a different title for the news dump we conduct to keep you aware of Gamecocks Sports Headlines.
This is certainly a Gamecocks Podcast you want to listen to as we predict SEC Conference Champs, SEC Overall Champion in 2010, our Heisman Trophy candidates and end it with a discussion of Gamecocks Football Practice after the first week.
So do agree? For those too lazy to listen. We will post these predictions in written form very soon on LOHD so do check back or just listen to the podcast.

You may recall that Bloguin partnered up with Blue Ribbon's College Football Yearbook, thus allowing LOHD to giveaway two free copies of the 2010 Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook to our readers.
The Yearbooks are loaded with info and will be a great resource throughout the season. They have the USC Gamecocks listed at number 22.
The contest went well as we had lots of entries via our twitter handle, our facebook page and from emails. More than we thought we would get. We decided to pull a name out of the hat for both the social media side and the regular email side. So that is how we got winners. Again these books were mailed at no cost to the winners.
Now for the winners…
Congrats to our social media friend – Kirk H. or should I say @theUSC. And to Patrick C. who emailed us.
These two were the winners and hope they enjoy the free books.
