It’s going to be madness this weekend in Columbia. I know you’ve heard that 100 times already, but now that Parents Weekend upon us, it can’t be stated enough that the crowds around campus are going to be insane. With Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and company bringing their College GameDay set to the Horseshoe for this specific weekend, it should be even harder to get on television.

The problem inherent in this arrangement of “big football game” and “parents coming to visit” isn’t hard to figure out.
The 34 points Vanderbilt put up looks bad for the Gamecock defense until you remember two of the Commodores’ touchdowns came on special teams.
While South Carolina's 48-34 win over Vanderbilt Saturday could be characterized as anything other than convincing, it seems indicative of the Gamecocks' recent struggles against the Commodores.
Vanderbilt had barely put up a fight against its three opponents prior to South Carolina, but if we've learned anything from the 2014 Gamecocks, it’s to expect the unexpected.
For two teams tasked with replacing their starting quarterbacks this season, No. 14 South Carolina and Vanderbilt seem to be trending in opposite directions.

Redshirt senior Corey Robinson has been named SEC offensive lineman of the week after his performance against Georgia, the league office announced Monday.
Remember a few weeks ago, following the Texas A&M game, when you resigned yourself to the fact that the South Carolina football program would inevitably go 0-12, sink into some massive hole in the ground and ultimately cease to exist?
South Carolina will linebacker Skai Moore notched 10 tackles against Georgia this weekend, leading the team, and setting a new career high in his second season out of Cooper City, Florida.
With such a dramatic ending to South Carolina’s victory against Georgia, the play of the Gamecock receiving core might be a tad overlooked.
Put simply, Georgia’s a buzz saw. And after their first game ended in a 45-21 battering of Clemson, the Bulldogs are looking for another block of wood to go through.
Remember the Florida Gators who ended the 2013 season on a seven-game losing streak and missed a bowl game for the first time since 1990? They’re the same Gators who lost to an FCS opponent and couldn’t figure out which team they were supposed to block?
