re: Sidney Rice retiring due to concussions (taken from MSB board)

Ever been to Gaffney? Never lived there but have been there at least 3-4x a year for my entire life. They live for that football team.

What do they have? 16 state titles or something?

2005-2006, (Spurrier's 1st 2 years) I believe he was a RS in 2004.

I truly believe him leaving earlier than expected made our offense take a significant step back in 2007.

Been to Gaffney many many many times. My niece lives there. Got good friends there. I go to HS ballgames there at least once a year ... including back when Sidney was there.

Not sure how many titles they have, but they have the best Gamecock Club in the state IMHO. There past two presidents are friends of mine.

Sindey was a RSSoph when he went early. I think Ko Simpson went that year or the next year as well maybe? I dunno.

Yeah, losing Sydney hurt but Kenny McKinley took up the slack IMHO. Would have been nice to have both of them though.
