THE FRIENDSHIP Across the river in West Columbia, Louis Sossamon and Madge Major live four doors apart in a high-end apartment complex for retirees. Sossamon is 89. Major is 86. He calls her the queen of the building. She jokingly threatens to tell bad stories about him. The two share a beautiful friendship. Both lost their spouses in recent years and moved into one-bedroom apartments about two miles from downtown Columbia. Bot h have well-k now n children liv ing in t he M id la nds. Sossa mon’s daughter, K it Sm it h, is a Richland County Councilwoman, while Major’s daughter, Boo Major, is the national-title winning equestrian coach at USC.

THE QUEEN Madge Major sits in her living room, adorned in a Gamecock scarf and earrings, flipping through books of Gamecock yesteryear. Suddenly, she finds a page hand-inserted into her book and breaks out in a perfectly-tuned version of USC’s alma mater, complete with different lyrics. “We hail you, Madge Major, and sing your high praise. Although you went to Converse, you mended your ways. And became a great Gamecock who yells many a cheer. And like the rest of us waits for next year!” The song was written by her close friend Brooksie Mayes earlier this year, and it’s a prized possession of Major’s. Over the past 86 years, she has collected many prized possessions, including dozens of pictures, books, newspaper clippings and magazines featuring Gamecock successes. She’s a legendary Carolina fan, at least according to the Gamecock Club. Her 49 years of service will be honored during a pre-game ceremony Sept. 18. “I was really shocked when I found out about it,” she said, clutching a letter from the Gamecock Club. “I FANS ● 2

A l mo st 1, 8 0 0 st udent s who requested t ickets for Thursday n ight ’s sea son opener ag a i n st Southern Mississippi didn’t receive them in this weekend’s lottery. O f t he 11,176 st udent s who requested tickets — the highest amount since 2008’s season opener against N.C. State — 9,400 were granted tickets, meaning almost 16 percent of students requesting tickets were turned down. Data shows that the majority of students who requested a ticket in 2008 and 2009 received one. In 2008, there was a total of 67,351 tickets requested over the course of
the seven home football games and 64,091 were distributed. In 2009, 61,162 tickets were requested while 66,076 were distributed. Patrick Donovan, director of student tickets for the University of South Carolina, attributed the inability to meet the full demand of student tickets for upcoming game in part to increased enrollment. The University saw its largest freshman class admitted this year at a total of 4,400, and all of the new students are now in the pool for tickets. “The large number of requests are a direct result of increased enrollment combined w it h t he excitement of a Thursday night ESPN season opener,” Donovan said. As in past years, student tickets are distributed in a lottery system based on class rank and attendance history. Seniority points are awarded at the
beginning of the year based on class standing by hours, and students can accumulate additional loyalty points by attending athletic events. Ten percent of a student’s total points can roll over from one year to the next. Those who are awarded tickets must claim them online before a certain time, after which the tickets go “on-demand” and are open to all students on a first-come, first-serve basis. For t his Thursday’s opening game, almost 8,200 tickets have been claimed already, Donovan said. Tickets that were not claimed by midnight Monday were put up for grabs for all students who did not initially receive a ticket.

Picture from The lead is Associated Press up from last month, when Haley held a 49 percent to 35 percent lead over Sheheen. Despite Haley’s gains, Rober t Oldend ick , a political science professor at USC, says the lead is not insurmountable. “You don’t want to be dow n double d ig it s at a n y p o i nt d u r i n g t h e campaign,” said Oldendick, who is an expert in public opi n ion p ol l s . “ But i f Sheheen can go out and do more advertising, there’s a possibilit y it can get closer.” W i t h t h e N o v. 2 election only two months away, Sheheen will have to overcome t he na me recognition Haley gained in her primary race. After being endorsed by former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin this summer, Haley won the Republican primar y runoff with 65 percent of the vote.

FANS ● Continued from 1 really feel like I’m not that much different than everyone else who’s a Carolina fan. We really have a wonderful group of followers.” Few possessions are dearer to her heart than a framed front page of The State newspaper t he day af ter USC won the College World Series in 2010. It sits in the hallway of her apartment. “Baseball isn’t my favorite, but, boy, was that something else,” she said. “It was great, just great.” She grew up near Capstone House on Barnwell Street, and she’s a product of a former Gamecock football player who played center in the 1900s, though Major isn’t sure exactly when he played. Her father’s picture hangs on the wall. Major only left Columbia brief ly, heading to Columbia University for an advanced degree. She was a physical therapist in the greater Columbia area until her children were born. She and her late husband, Jim, formerly Clerk of Court for Richland Count y, made their home in Fores t Acres. For the past 49 years, she has held season tickets. Major sits in section 6, row 41, seat 27. She remembers the losing seasons, the rough times and the many coaches, but Major likes to talk about the positives. “Oh, Sidney Rice,” she said. “He was such a good receiver. I can just picture him up there catching the ball.” She regales road trips of the past, like a 2007 jaunt to Chapel Hill and an earlier trip to Knoxville. She doesn’t at tend a l l t he ga mes
a ny more, as hea lt h cond it ions a nd difficulty traveling to and from WilliamsBrice often keep her at home. As for the games she misses, Major watches them on a big-screen TV with about 30 others on the ground level of her apartment complex. “There are a few Clemson people who watch them with us,” she said, “but we don’t really pay attention to them.” She plans to attend a handful of games this year, including the Furman game where she’ll be honored. “They’re going to put me on life support so I can keep getting the tickets,”
THE ALL-AMERICAN Major said. Louis Sossamon’s door, less than 50 yards away, is a tribute to Carolina, too. And with good reason. Louis Sossamon was an All-American football player at the University of South Carolina in the early 1940s. He was student body president, too. He played in the NFL, fought in World War II, owned a newspaper, served on the University’s Board of Trustees, won a statewide journalism award and was recently honored in a private reception at USC President Harris Pastides’ house. “We had some really fine players on that team,” he said of his playing days. “But some of them went into service.” At 89,Sossamon is as busy as ever. Sossa mon rarely m isses a Carol i na game, whether it’s football, basketball or baseball. “I’ll be there Thursday night if the
good Lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise,” he said with a laugh. Over the years, Sossamon has watched the pigskin sport transition from a game of few passes and few players to a complex multi-million dollar industry. “We had one trainer on our team, and during the timeouts he’d come out with a big bucket of water, and we’d drink out of the bucket,” Sossamon said. “We traveled by train rather than airplane. When we went to Manhattan, Kan., to play Kansas State, it took us a week.” Sossamon played under coach Rex Enright and later served as a pallbearer at his funeral. Kathryn Edgerton, his future wife, was a cheerleader for USC. They had been married for 65 years when she died in 2008. He was lauded as one of t he most talented players in the nation but was sent away in 1943 to serve in World War II. However, it didn’t stop him f rom pursuing his dreams. After the war, he played professional football for four years for t he nowdefunct New York Yankees. A photo of him making a tackle during a game in Los Angeles hangs in the library of his apartment. “We played against t he Cleveland Browns for the championship in 1948,” he said. “We won $800 from the game because we lost. The Browns won $1,000.” But football fame wouldn’t last forever, and Sossamon moved back to Gaffney and took over The Gaffney Ledger, his family’s newspaper. T here, he won a Freedom of Information Award from the S.C. Press

Louis Sossamon played football for USC. Association for his dogged reporting on corruption in a school board election. He later served as a member of USC’s Board of Trustees. Sossamon has lived an exciting and successful life. “And I attribute it to my being at the University of South Carolina,” he said. “I shudder to think where I would have been without it.”

Ticketless 1,800 WANNA FANTA? should keep trying No, you can’t do 10 tequila shots
To b e at a n a l re ad y- de ad hor s e , wh ic h we resuscitated and beat to death again, this year’s freshmen class is too large. Almost 1,800 students could not get tickets for the fi rst game of the season. Bummer. At least it’s clear that the ticket lottery system is fulfi lling its job of fi lling the student section. There really isn’t any viable way to get these 1,800 students into the ballpark — they can’t make Williams-Brice any bigger. The only advice we can offer is to try again next time, and this T hu r sday, f i nd some “You can build up ot her lo c at ion t o b e drunk and irresponsible. lottery points by The competition for t ic ket s w i l l t h i n out attending other later. This is not only our season opener sporting events.” b ut a l s o E SPN ’s , s o f resh men w it h few loyalty points were unlikely to get in. Those who did get tickets should respect the fact that others weren’t so lucky by staying for the entire game. For those who got tickets and don’t even show up, good job. Due to the new policy, you won’t be allowed to go for the rest of the season, and some of those 1,800 will take your place. To you 1,800, remember you can build up lottery points by attending other sporting events - yes, there are other sports than football, - such as this Friday’s men’s soccer game versus Clemson. To the University, you should give these students double points for showing up. We k now all of you are diehard Gamecock fans already, but you still have to prove that to the lottery system. A nd f inally, if you didn’t get t ickets for t he Southern Miss game, don’t feel so bad. Nobody’s getting into the Georgia game.
Impress upperclassmen by being smart, not getting obliterated We upperclassmen like to think we are wise and experienced and that freshmen are innocent and naïve, and — to a degree — it is true. Regardless of your choice of college lifestyle, you will learn many things as you get older. A lot of freshmen come into college with an overconfidence that can t urn out to be quite da ngerou s. I w it ne s sed t h is phenomenon at a party recently. A group of freshmen showed up to an older student’s apartment, i m me d i at e l y we nt i nt o Michelle t he k itchen a nd st a r ted Fantone Fourth-year pounding shot after shot. political science W hen told to slow down and sociology by some upperclassmen, student t he ret u r n quote was, “Don’t worry, I have a great tolerance.” Not t wo hours later, this freshman was abandoned by her friends, on her knees, praying to the porcelain god in the bathroom of a stranger’s apartment. In another instance, I saw a very drunk freshman stumbling back to campus alone from Five Points on the night of the first day of classes — a night on which bars and streets were teeming with cops looking for underage drinkers. When told going to the bars that evening was not the brightest idea, his brilliant response was, “It’s OK,
I have a fake ID.” Actually, that’s still not OK. Those are the exact people the cops are looking for. While we made sure both these students safely made it back to their dorms by the end of the night, it is a stark reminder of what could happen when inexperience meets overly abundant confidence in an environment with a lot more freedoms than we have ever experienced before. Freshmen are not the only people to fall prey to these mistakes — college students of all ages make stupid decisions all the time. But both situations were avoidable had these freshmen not been trying to impress upperclassmen and had been more prepared before entering the college world of partying. By trying to look “cool,” these individuals put themselves in a situation that could have been quite dangerous. So before you venture into college nightlife and try to hang with the older crowd, t a ke t he t ime to lear n you r abilities, your limitations and who your real friends are. This way, if you do get into one of these situations, you’ll have people you can trust around you and you won’t end up looking foolish, or worse. Upperclassmen don’t hate freshmen; in fact, many of us do want to be your friends. Mixing with people of all different ages is part of what college is about. However, we are going to be impressed by your ability to have a good time while keeping cool, rather than your ability to take 10 shots in a row.
University of Complainers fully enrolled College about studying for future, not quality of cafeteria, football team The power of a bachelor’s degree has been sullied. It just doesn’t mean anything in the work force anymore. It’s all about getting that coveted master’s degree and, if you’re dedicated enough and willing to go to college for nearly a decade, that extra-special doctorate. However, college, once a sacred experience, is now something that anyone can do. They even have college on the Internet now. So, instead of having to get up and go to class, people can just sit in their pajamas and study at the University of Phoenix from the comfort of their own bedrooms. Even here at USC there are students who should not be in college. There are students who moan that they should have gone to Clemson with their friends, some who whine that their high school friends are not here and some who complain about the food. If a person’s biggest concern is if his or her high school friends are not with them or if the school’s football team isn’t good, then maybe he or she should not be in college.
The university experience has been despoiled. At t imes I doubt myself about coming to col lege. Du r i ng cer t a i n moment s of homesick ness, I believe I would be much happier working for a friend of mine in Spain. It seems that easy for me — I just have to buy a plane ticket to Madrid and not come back. But I don’t go because I don’t have a lot of money, my parents don’t support this particular endeavor, Spain’s immigration laws are stricter than the United States’ and I know I can’t rely on a single friend to just give me a job out of the blue. Steven I am here in college instead Kramer First-year print because, statistically speaking, journalism college graduates make more student money t han high school graduates. Society dictates that college graduates generally have more money than high school grads and certainly more than high school dropouts. There are few exceptions to this rule. College is the best bet for a successful career. The thing is, though, that everyone in America knows this. Colleges

are having an influx of applicants. Most of these applicants have the wrong perception, and this is why a lot of students complain. College kids should be able to think for themselves. Don’t go in thinking that ideas will all come together and that your professor will applaud you for your ideas. College involves a lot of change, and a lot of kids can’t handle that. I remember being terrified my fi rst night while listening to my friends — who were just as terrified — discuss their plans for the future. Shocking change is unsettling at first, but one can grow into it. If change isn’t for you, then maybe college isn’t for you, either. It is a life-changing experience. There’s no doubt about it. I see so many of my fellow students on Facebook saying they will transfer because their professors seem weird or the food isn’t the quality of a five-star French restaurant. If the biggest concerns of these kids are not about their future job or what they plan to do to make their lives better, then they should not be in college. College is not a place where people go to complain about their current existence; college is where people go to get a serious education for their future.
Obviously everyone has heard of the huge cont roversy surrounding the building of a mosque two blocks away from grou nd zero in New York City.

No , it m e a n s s o m e people are just crazy. Not ever yone who believes in God is a murderer, just like not everyone who chooses to worship A llah is a terrorist. Obama definitely had it right when he said, “Muslims have the same right to practice their relig ion as ever yone else in this countr y,” and “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable.” Regardless of who at tacked us on Sept. 11, everyone of every faith has the right to believe, worship and think whatever he or she wants. The fact is that the people who own that l a nd h ave t he r ight to bu ild any t y pe of facility — barring the i l leg a l — t h at t he y choose, be it a mosque, a Catholic church or a McDonald’s. No one should be able to decide, based on the actions of a group of extremists, that one faith doesn’t have the same freedom as any other.

New Found Glory heats up NBT Florida-based pop-punk band joined Wonder Years, Lemuria, Boys No Good in high-energy set over weekend Sydney Patterson
THE DAILY GAMECOCK
As the temperature inside the New Brookland Tavern increased on Saturday night, so did the excitement of the crowd. The evening’s show featured a headlining performance from New Found Glory but also opening performances from Boys No Good, Lemuria and The Wonder Years. With each successive act change, the temperature rose and rose until the Tavern felt fi lled to the brim with the crowd’s energy. The show started out pretty hot with the Floridanative pop-punk band Boys No Good, whose raw yelling lent the band a hardcore vibe and got the crowd moving, with some of its members opting for more “hardcore-dancing.” Next up were the indie/punk tunes of the New York-based Lemuria. The singer and guitarist, Sheena Ozzella, was extremely appreciative of the fans in the crowd who sang along with her. A f ter a sl ight decrease i n t he v iolence of t he crowd, The Wonder Years, a pop-punk band from Pennsylvania, came onto the stage, and with them came extremely excited fans, who roared to life and would stop at nothing to get to the front to sing along with Soupy, the lead singer. Because they have released two full-length albums and two EPs, the latest being fulllength album “The Upsides,” they are relatively well known and had a ton of people in the crowd singing along. It was their set that caused the room’s temperature to skyrocket even before the headlining act came onto the stage, as space in the sea of people shrank more and more quickly. Nevertheless, The Wonder Years got the crowd moving, jumping, singing and generally excited about New Found Glory’s upcoming set, which defi nitely didn’t disappoint. New Found Glor y, a pop-punk band also from Florida, started out in 1997 and has since risen to stardom through tours like Warped Tour and opening for bands such as Blink-182 , as well as three gold-

Primetime Emmys honor breakout, veteran shows Jimmy Gilmore THE MIX EDITOR
The Television Academy is a strange bunch. Though they nominate approximately the same bunch of actors, writers and shows year after year, they are still somewhat unpredictable — sometimes they like to reward the same things over and over, sometimes they love to change it up. Sunday’s 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards provided a bit of both. While some may prefer to chat about whether or not Jimmy Fallon succeeded as hosting, it may be more productive to think about who the Emmys rewarded and what that says about the past year of television. On the drama side of things, the “repetitious Emmys” reared its head. AMC’s “Mad Men” won Best Drama Series for the third year in a row, as well as Directing and Writing for a Drama Series honors. The actors of “Breaking Bad” also continued to gain a sure footing in their categories — lead actor Bryan Cranston won Best Actor in a Drama Series for the third year straight. His partner in crime, Aaron Paul, picked up Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for the first time. While the rest of the evening had some pleasant surprises for drama, including the first win in five nominations for “The Closer’s” Kyra Sedgwick, one thing became abundantly clear — cable is where drama happens. Of all the awards for dramatic series handed out, only one — Best Supporting Actress for Archie Panjabi of CBS’s “The Good Wife” — was for a network program. Even in a year that said farewell to major network programs “24,” “Lost” and “Law & Order,” A MC and other cable networks dominated the evening. Yet from a comedy perspective, this trend was almost completely reversed. Only Lead Actress in a Comedy Series winner Edie Falco represented a cable or premium cable program, for Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie.” The major question swirling around the comedy side of the evening was whether or not “30 Rock” — which won Best Comedy Series the past three EMMYS ● 7

In the hierarchy of fi lm directors currently working in the Hollywood scene, no one ranks higher than Christopher Nolan. A man who has the veritable Midas touch, every project graced with his name turns into pure cinematic gold. Unlike most directors, who create one masterpiece and just fade away (here’s looking at you, Shyamalan), Nolan followed his magnum opus, “The Dark Knight,” with “Inception,” a movie that takes your mind out for drinks and leaves early in the morning without leaving its number. Now Nolan is gearing up for his third Batman project, the most anticipated movie south of “Attack of the Clones,” and rumor has it that he’s holding a part that, if performed with expertise and skill, will literally make an actor’s career — The Riddler. Although Nolan hasn’t made an official announcement one way or the other, the Internet is abuzz with rumors that The Riddler, played by Jim Carrey in 1995’s “Batman Forever,” will feature in his follow-up to 2008’s “The Dark Knight.” Even before the character has been announced, though, entertainment writers and bloggers have begun to speculate and argue about who should fi ll the enormous shoes that Heath Ledger left (without recasting the Joker), and since everyone seems to have an opinion, here are four contenders people are clamoring about:
1. Johnny Depp
— As soon as the Internet got hold of the news that The Riddler might be opposing Batman, Depp’s name was thrown out there. Depp has an impressive pedigree and defi nitely possesses the ability to become a spectacular Riddler, but he already has been given two iconic parts in hyped remakes(Mad Hatter in “Alice in Wonderland” and Willy Wonka in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) and overacted both of them. Granted, Tim Burton was at the helm for both of these movies, and it may be a different story with Christopher Nolan calling the shots, but Depp’s mainstream eccentric roles do not fit well into Nolan’s style.
2. Tom Hardy
— You may remember him as Eames from “Inception.” Hardy’s name has been thrown around because Nolan likes to cast from people he’s liked working with previously. Virtually an unknown before “Inception,” Hardy also received accolades for playing Charles Bronson in the 2008 fi lm “Bronson.” Although he may seem an interesting choice, it feels unlikely that he would get cast.
3. Robin Williams
— Williams told Empire Magazine a few months ago that he’d love to work with Christopher Nolan again, but “I’m a little hairy for tights.” Williams may lack the morbidity that Nolan would ultimately desire of The Riddler, but he proved he could do dark in the underrated “One Hour Photo,” and he did work with Nolan once before on 2002’s “Insomnia.” Williams would probably be the most controversial of the actors listed here, but that risk could have an enormous payoff.

The Daily Gamecock ● TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2010 EMMYS ● Continued from 6 years — would contend against breakout hits “Modern Family” and “Glee.” By night’s end, NBC’s “Rock” won no major awards, and ABC’s “Modern Family” walked away with Best Comedy Series. If the drama half of the evening w a s ab out r e w a rd i n g s how s w it h continued success, the comedy side was clearly wowed by rookie programs. “Family” also carried home honors for Best Writing for a Comedy Series and Best Supporting Actor in Eric Stonestreet. Fox’s “Glee” won Best Supporting Actress for Jane Lynch, as well as Best Directing for a Comedy Series for its pilot episode. Jim Parsons also beat back-to-back winner Alec Baldwin for Best Leading Ac tor i n a Comedy Ser ies for h is performance on CBS’s “The Big Bang Theory.” Clearly, this diverse group of winners allowed the Emmys to stand firmly behind multiple critically-acclaimed programs, singling out the continued successes of cable television drama and the outstanding year for rookie comedy

programs on network. And even if the ceremony was more enjoyable, more elegant and more evenly paced than most years, these winners still highlight the friction between network and cable programming, and speak to the different levels of television audiences. If the past year of television has taught us anything, it’s that it continues to evolve as a medium. Despite the influx of reality and specialty programming, networks like NBC and cable channels like AMC have been able to expand and reshape the generally-accepted format of half-hour sitcom and hour-long drama into shows that challenge, provoke and alter the shape of the TV landscape. That’s what this year’s Emmy winners reflect, and That’s Entertainment. Catch more Emmys analysis online at dailygamecock.com Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockfeatures@sc.edu

Johnny Depp, Tom Hardy, Robin Williams and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are among the actors rumored to be in contention for the role of the Riddler in Nolan’s third Batman film.
4. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
— He was the squeaky clean hipster in “(500) Days of Summer,” and the love-struck teenager in “10 Things I Hate About You,” so why would he even be in the running for a maniacal villain role? Gordon-Levitt does seem like an improbable choice, but so was Heath Ledger, and look how well that turned out. Gordon-Levitt has proven himself many times as a strong, diverse actor, and if you don’t believe me, go rent “Brick.” Personally, Gordon-Levitt is my pick because of his talent and lack of a defining dramatic role despite some great work the past few years. He could come in like a chameleon and have the best chance of drawing comparisons to Ledger’s performance. Batman 3 won’t hit theaters until July 20, 2012, and Nolan hasn’t even revealed what the title will be. Knowing him, everything will be under wraps for as long as possible, but that won’t stop his final Batman film from generating non-stop speculation and theories. Comments on this story?

DiMarco adjusts to protective cast Senior captain getting used to playing with fractured forearm James Kratch
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
W hen Pat DiMarco came out with what appeared to be a battering ram for a forearm, don’t think his teammates didn’t notice. “First day, people were like, ‘Don’t be going around hitting anybody. You might kill somebody,’” DiMarco said recently of the cast, now on his left arm. “It’s as hard as a rock, so no contact’s really going to hurt my arm.” It resembles a club that could be used to pack an added punch to blocks from the fullback/tight end, but it is actually protection that will allow the senior captain to play with a slight fracture of his left forearm. DiMarco said that the cast feels a bit foreign, but it’s something he’ll have to make do with. “It’s a little weird getting used to it, but I’m going to have to put up with it,” DiMarco said. “I need it to play. I have to deal with it.” Thursday night lights: Thursday night football has become a staple at USC
Q
since the dawn of the Steve Spurrier era. Since Spurrier was hired in 2004 , the Gamecocks have played in eight Thursday night primetime games, four of which were the national season openers and have posted a 6-2 record in the games, including last season’s upset of No. 4 Ole Miss and a 2007 romp over No. 8 Kentucky. For t he players, Thu rsday n ight s repre sent a g reat oppor t u n it y a nd experience as both students and athletes. “As a student, we get to miss a little class on Thursday,” tailback Brian Maddox said. “As a player, it’s great that we’re the first game for college football, [and we] get to go out and show what South Carolina football is all about.” Offensive tackle Kyle Nunn also likes Thursday games, but said he doesn’t see them as totally unique. “Thursday night games are the same as a Saturday night game,” Nunn said. “Prepare the same, get ready as a team [and] go out there and pretend it’s a Saturday night game. Do the same thing we do on Saturday games.” The chance to play on ESPN in front of the entire country is a neat one, Nunn says, but not an all-consuming one. “We always like playing for the whole nation,” Nunn said. “We play just as hard if we’re playing for the whole nation as if we’re playing just in front of our fans.

Ballgame’s a ballgame.” Another solid practice: A day after Spurrier heralded his team’s effort, USC put in another solid practice, according to Maddox. “We were doing pretty good tonight. More crisp, I would say,” Maddox said. “It has to be more crisp, of course, because tomorrow is fine-tune day, being like a
Thursday before a Saturday night game.” Quiet night: No coaches spoke to the media following practice Monday. Spurrier will hold his weekly press conference today.

Club football team looks to attain No. 1 ranking in new national league Players hoping for greater achievements in second year James Kratch
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The USC club football team, fresh off a Southern Collegiate Club Football Association Championship in only its first season of play, is shooting higher this Fall. “In the end, we want to be ranked No. 1,” said fourth-year exercise science student Derek Lair, one of the club’s founders. T h e No . 1 n at i o n a l r a n k i n g i s something USC will strive for as part of t he new Nat ional Club Football Association. Until this fall, club football h a s not h ad a n at io n a l g over n i n g body. The SCCFA has basically been rebranded as the NCFA’s South-Atlantic Conference, w it h USC remaining a member. “You play everyone in your conference,” Lair said. “They have a ranking system. Depending on teams you play, whoever we win against, if it’s one of the top teams we get more points for that.” To help the league grow under modest financial assets, for the time being, there will be no playoff system this season, with a mythical national champion being named based on a coaches’ poll . USC team members feel they are in a good

The USC club football team will look to defend its SCCFA championship as well as compete for a No. 1 ranking in the NCFA this season. position to impress voters, with games scheduled against top-rate programs such as Clemson and North Carolina, as well as a much-anticipated road trip to Annapolis, Md., on Oct. 15 to play the Naval Academy freshmen team. “That’s a big game that we were able to land this year that not many clubs play,” Lair said. “It’ll be a hard one, but I think we actually have the weapons to possibly give them a good fight.” USC opens the season against UNC in a rematch of last season’s SCCFA title game . The Tar Heels will once again travel to Columbia. The game is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 19, but Lair
said attempts are being made to move the game to Sept. 18 to be played early in the day before the USC varsity team plays Furman at 7 p.m. The following week, USC will host Clemson in a game that might take on a much larger stage than the team’s customary field by Colonial Life Arena. “It’s in the works [to play the game at Williams-Brice Stadium].” Lair said. “Basically, the club department is trying to work with that game to turn it into a fundraising type of game. It would be a mission of some sort to bring in money for all of club sports. We should know something by the end of this week.”
Lair said that the team has about 30 members currently but is always looking for more. “We started practicing last Sunday, and we just started hitting,” Lair said. “A lot of people don’t realize that you can kind of come in any time within the fi rst few weeks and still play. Hopefully we’ll get a few more people.” For more information, check out the USC club football page on Facebook or e-mail the club at SOCLUBFB@mailbox. sc.edu. Comments on this story?
