1. The South Carolina Football team beat Houston in the Liberty Bowl 44-36. Not much defensing went on in that game, as may be obvious from the score.

2. The South Carolina Men's Basketball team beat Jacksonville, 80-73. Watched that one live and courtside. I have season's tickets in the crappy nosebleed faculty section, but due to the students being on break and many fans being away at the Liberty Bowl, the Carolina Center was practically empty so my companions and I got upgraded. Only downside to being courtside was the "mascot antics" we were subjected to by Cocky: For me, this included getting doused in popcorn and having a giant megaphone placed over my head and pounded on. Good times.

I could hear the Jax coaches shouting, "Don't foul Number 4!" A compliment to that player, I think.

Most fun player to watch is Tre Kelly, but he hurt his leg in the second half. Hope it's minor.

Sure miss Renaldo Balkman:

He skipped his senior year in favor of joining the NY Knicks.

3. In-state rival Clemson lost to Kentucky!
