This year, USC's basketball
program has been plagued with
controversy.
Numerous allegations of
NCAA violations and ramifications
make you feel like you're
watching an episode of a soap
opera ? not a collegiate sport.
With all this going on, it is
easy to forget what the purpose
of all this is and the real reason
why these 13 guys sacrifice
every day to play for their
school.
They were given the gift to
play basketball, and, over the
years, they have worked hard in
order to compete on the collegiate
level and in the
Southeastern Conference.
Thev made a decision to come
to the University of South
Carolina, and they show their
pride and love for the game by
representing USC on the court.
We, as the student body, chose
USC to be the place where we
spend our time, our money and
at least four years of our lives.
And I hope we all take great
pride in being lucky enough to
attend USC.
In addition to our academic
work, we can also show pride in
our school through our support
for the athletic program.
Unfortunately, this basketball
season has been clouded by the
investigation; however, this column
does not deal with the
investigation and its results.
It is about a group of guys
who have worked hard and have
already proven that they are better
than most people expected.
It's about time die student body
took notice and attended a few
games.
As a child, you may not have
been the most popular or the
most intelligent, but you had
your family, people who were
proud of what you achieved, to
support you.

As students of USC, we are all j

There has to be a silver lining to
this cloud we are behind.
One day, when we <ue in the
Final Four, you could look back
and say, "I was behind the
Gamecocks when..."
When you leave USC, you
take more than just a degree.
You take home many memories
and pride in your alma mater.
What better way to build that
pride than to support USC while
you are still here. I challenge
every student to get behind these
guys who represent us every day.
The players sacrifice so much
for the privilege to play basketball
at USC, so why can't the
students do the same thing by
attending the games?

Mr. Harmon stated that for the

This is characteristic of most
