Offensive lineman Eric Mac Lain, tight end Jordan Leggett and wide receiver Charone Peake have played at South Carolina before and said Tuesday they realized early on in Columbia they were not going to be welcomed with open arms.

“When we get there and we pull up on the bus, they were rocking the buses. All the fans were doing stuff like that. It’s definitely a hostile environment,” Leggett said. “It definitely makes you think if we have enough police escorts and stuff like that...."

“When we walk into that stadium and I see lighters or batteries, just cans and stuff being thrown at players, I was just like, ‘Wow, this is something else,’ ”

Peake, a senior, said he had objects thrown at him as well.

“It was bad. When I went it was my freshman year and it was very ugly,” he said. “They were really rude fans. They were making some pretty wild comments as we were heading to the locker room.”

Really it was only fair. Tajh Boyd had been throwing the ball at our DB's all night, so that was just retribution.
