re: Gamecock fans what are your early thoughts on the bowl game??

I like SC big. UVA barely made a bowl game in the worst conference in the country.

I think Virginia is a year away in the rebuild.

Wait, would it be a rebuild if Virginia hadn't built anything in the first place?

The Cavs seem to be right on schedule with Mendenhall. His first year they were terrible. The next year they were much better but still lost big. This year they were even better and 3 of their 5 losses came by a total of 10 points. Next year is the get over the hump year where they need to start winning those close games.

USC is 3-1 in close games, that should give them the edge to put away an improving Virginia squad.
