All right I'm gon hit yall with some baseball shit being this is opening day. Behold, the first photo of a South Carolina baseball team: (photo is from 1896) Mustache is reported to have single handedly killed three Clemson fans with a Louisville Slugger
I wonder if back in the day kids grew mustaches like that out as a joke. Also the two guys on the left are clearly banging each other and zero fucks are given.
Participated in one at Tin, involving some players helmets, a lego man costume, and snow man head from Halloween. Was awful.
Thats anywhere in the coaching profession though, not just here. All the coaches we lost were also filling vacancies somewhere, even a high school with John Hunt. Imagine how pissed Botkins old high school was when he left
If applying for a $90,000/year job, it's probably best if you have relevant skills and don't misspell your name on the front page of the application.
Hey guys I hope the Gubbs is not dead But on that note if I die I want an epic death thread. I hereby give permission to the UJCO to publish my name, occupation, and make me into an emoticon in the event of my death.
Damn your first game?? You will be like a mug the first time you walk in that entrance plaza with the trophy case and the big ass murals and stuff. Hopefully you can make it back later when the weather gets warmer
Yep. First college baseball game ever attending. I've really been wanting to see the new stadium. Can't wait.
Gamecock Central is referring to Montgomery as Gumby? Um....that sounds pretty gay. What's up with that
Weight room update from TBS Spoiler South Carolina strength and conditioning coachJoe Connollydiscussed hisplayers making strides in the offseasonand the16-week redshirt workout programrecently but he also had some updates on injured players, what he thinks ofJadeveon Clowneyin the weight room, and much more. Strength and conditioning coach Joe ConnollyGurley, McWilliams putting for effort - Two of the top defensive back recruits in the 2012 class finished the season on the sideline with knee ligament injuries. Cornerback Rico McWilliams injured his knee just a few practices into the fall and redshirted. Safety T.J. Gurley went down on a kickoff return against Florida late in the year and will be a sophomore next season. Both players are at different stages in the rehabilitation process but both could be back on the field at some point next year. McWilliams is projected to be 100 percent for the start of fall practice. Gurley is a bit more up in the air as his injury happened months later. The hope, though, is that he can be back on the field in August and ready to make an impact in the 2013 season. “Those two guys have a great attitude,” Connolly said. “They’re in early, they’re in often, and they’re here for extra work. We have an alternative program for the injured guys but they’re still required to come in with the four days a week for running times. They’re in for treatment and doing all the things they need to do. “Both of those guys have such great attitudes that I’m sure they’ll both be just fine. I don’t know when, but they’ll be fine. They’re extremely gifted and I hope they come back sooner rather than later.” Both McWilliams and Gurley have been dedicated in the weight room even though they’re not able to participate in all of the activities. They’re not involved in the team winter workout competition but they’re active and engaged. That hasn’t always been the case for some of Connolly’s injured players. Before he got to South Carolina, he had a player who didn’t understand he has to be in the weight room whenever his teammates are around. “I told a kid one time that didn’t understand when he was injured, he still had to work out,” Connolly recounted, “I told him, ‘If you were in a full body cast, we’d do eyelid raises for an hour.’” The early enrollees - South Carolina had three scholarship players enroll early to go through the winter workout program. Quarterback Connor Mitch, offensive lineman D.J. Park and defensive back Ronnie Martinare getting a head start on the rest of the 2013 class. Connolly spoke about Mitch in this piece but he also offered his thoughts on the first few weeks in the weight room on the other two enrollees. Defensive end Jadeveon ClowneyPark, from Dillon High School, had a bit more weight on his body than Connolly wanted to see. He’s worked to cut some of that mass and is doing everything in the weight room his coaches require. “Aside from quarterback, the second position that requires a lot of time (to develop) is the offensive line,” Connolly said. “The line, they need to develop physically. We have a little more depth at that position this year, so I think he’ll have that luxury. He knows he has some work to do.” The coaches want Park to play between 305 and 310 pounds. Officially, he was listed at 335 when he enrolled, but his weight was a little bit higher than that. “The one thing I love about D.J. is he will never quit,” Connolly said “I guarantee you this week was the hardest week of his life and every week the next five weeks will be that way. He’s done a good job. He’s a quiet kid who just comes in and works. He has a lot of work to do, but that’s why we’re here and doing it.” Martin signed with South Carolina in 2011 but had to spend two years in junior college before eventually making it to campus this January. The good news for the Gamecocks is he redshirted one year at Georgia Military College and will have three years to play three in Columbia. When Martin arrived, he stood 5-foot-10 and weighed in at 180 pounds. Even though he’s a couple of years older than any freshman coming in, Martin has some work to do in the weight room to add strength. “He’s got some developing to do, too,” Connolly said. “He’s a young kid. These early enrollees get some extra time. We can take them and get them technically sound. Ronnie has some developing to do, just like all the young guys do.” Some words on Clowney - What would a football story be without mentioning Jadeveon Clowney? The consensus All-American is projected to be the top pick in the NFL Draft next year and some believe he would have gone first overall this year if he had the chance to come out. Even though Clowney is receiving so much national attention, he’s just another one of the guys in the weight room. “He’s just another player,” Connolly said. “He’s still relatively young in the grand scheme of things. He’s very strong and explosive, as we all know, but from a weight room standpoint, he’s got a lot of work he needs to do, and he knows that. The things he does in here will keep him safe and healthy out there. We know he can preform. The better condition he’s in, the better technique he has is what is going to keep him healthy.” The challenge for Clowney is not to let the outside words impact his offseason dedication. It’d be easy to listen to the hype but he can’t make any money in the NFL for another 15 months. “His goals are as high as they can go. We know what he wants to do and there are a lot of things involved with that. With him, he has to keep his head on straight and go out and get it.”
