From staff and wiro reports
In hopes of landing a television
contract for its opening
game, USC will begin its 1986
football season Aug. 30 at
home against Miami, Fla., not
against Western Carolina as
originally planned.
The game against the Catamounts
was moved from Sept.
6 to Sept. 13 to allow the
Gamecocks a pair of open
dates on Sept. 6 and 20.
The switch of the contest
with Miami enables Joe Morrison's
squad to take a break
before facing Georgia on Sept.
27 and Nebraska on Oct. 4,

'T really think we're a good
team, but I can't explain why we
haven't done better than we
have," she said. "1 don't know
what's gone wrong; we've just
had some problems getting over
that hump."
Wilson said she's impressed by
how Southers continues to play
consistently well while the team
goes down in defeat.
"Brantley is the type of player
who will give you everything
she's got every game," she said.
"Usually a good player who
works so hard but then doesn't
win has a difficult time getting up
for the next game. But Brantley's

And soon as the world turned
and the years passed, there came
to be a leacue of warrior

league for the one nation. It was
to be eternally known as the
NFL.

After the four-game homestand

USC takes on the secondranked
Lady Bulldogs tonight in
Athens, Ga., and while Southers
realizes the odds of losing, she's
not about to count the I.ady

"There's always a chance, so
we plan to play some blood 'n'

a glorious festival would take
place. The two greatest teams
from that season would fly to
pre-arranged cities and prepare
for that one final game that
would be named "The Super
Bowl".
Then God made one fateful
mistake in judgment. He created,
to record the events of this game,
the sportswriter. And the world
was truly thankful.
Amen.
