Welcome to what used to be rivalry weekend. We are used to seeing rivalry games the weekend after Thanksgiving, but the modified schedules and weirdness of 2020 means that we get to see the Iron Bowl, which will be about as competitive as South Carolina against The Citadel (haha).
Speaking of the Gamecocks, their coaching search continues. It occurred to athletic director Ray Tanner that guys like Knute Rockne and Woody Hayes were too old for the job, and so he’s looking at guys that nobody else really wants. There was some thought that Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze would be a leading candidate, but even Hugh didn’t want it.
