Major Tom vs. Visor Boy – Live Blogging (Final Score – 34-0)

A great rivalry is renewed tonight, for all the nation to see in glorious high definition. That said, you are about to witness a major challenge – Tom O’Brien is bringing a knife to a gunfight (thank God he’s a Marine). But we’ll be watching and hoping anyway. Set your baseline appropriately – as long as we get everyone back to Raleigh alive and in one piece, that’s a positive after the week we’ve had.

Depressing fact for the day – South Carolina placed more players on The Sporting News’ pre-season all-SEC first team (4). That’s four more than NC State before everybody got hurt.

My personal prediction is South Carolina 31, NC State 7. And I believe that’s fairly optimistic. See you at 8:00 sharp!

8:17 – offensive offense so far. D looks good, though.

8:36 – Spurrier’s ego and the Pack’s defense keep the game scoreless. There’s no rational reason for SC to pass.

8:40 – If Wilson is playing QB, that would have been a State touchdown. Damn it.

8:48 – Our defense spending way too much time on the field. On the plus side, we just ripped a guy’s helmet off with a hit. Nice.

8:53 – Beecher may be the worst QB I’ve ever seen. Wilson back under center, thank God.

8:56 – Don’t get hurt, Andre.

8:58 – Oh God, Underwood misses handoff and Wilson gets crushed. He’s not moving.

9:01 – I think this is the end of the liveblog. I can’t believe this is happening. Everyone pray with all your heart and soul. Our living room is in tears.

Halftime – South Carolina 3, NC State 0. I’ll update when someone scores, in case anyone is relying on updates.

9 yard TD drive after gruesome Evans pick. 10-0 USC.

I’m going to shift to tape delay now. My apologies, but my heart’s just not in it.

    Oh well, Lou Holtz didn’t even mutter the words “NC State” while announcing in his pre-game pick in favor of the Gamecocks.

    Hell, if the Holtz and Kellogg on ESPN keep heaping the accolades and talking about how great the Gamecocks are, and not even mentioning NC STATE, people are going to lose interest and turn over to the Democratic Convention, or turn off their TV’s altogether.
