Just when you thought a week might go by
when the Gamecock Sports staff decided not to
run the "Point Blank" column, it shows up in a
Friday edition. For those unfamiliar with my
misguided view of the sports world, mainly bad
picks and deriding bad players, this column usually
appears on Wednesday. Due to the holiday
known as fall break, the Gamecock was not published
two days ago. Did you really think such
a huge week in sports would go by without me
having something to say? Come on now, you
should know me better than that!
Still second best Correct me if Fm wrong
(and I know you will), but if the best team in the
nation loses than it should follow that the No. 2
team would take over the top spot. Well I witnessed
a strange phenomana, now to be identified
as "poll vaulting," this week. As everyone

something, but I thought it was customary that
the No. 2 team would be first in line for the top
spot. Well, you learn something new every day.
Three's a charm. As I just mentioned, Penn
State is now the top team in the nation. I really
don't agree with this for two reasons. The first
reason is the fact that Nebraska should be the
top team. The second reason Fll get to later. Add
the fact that the Lions are idle tliis week, and
the polls really start to stink.
My roommate says that I don't give the Lions
any credit, and it's true... I haven't. I will
humbly admit that the lions did beat Michigan
in Ann Arbor.
The battle of the runningbacks was won by
Kyana Carter, but Wheatley made his mark as
well. In his two touchdown runs, Tyrone Wheatley
displayed the talent that makes him one of
the top backs in the nation.
On second thought After watching the Flori- .
da game Saturday, something came to ma Auburn
is undoubtably the best team in the nation.
Apparently Bear Bryant has pissed God off,

They were simply the better team in
Gainesville Saturday.

a Hesiman hopeful. At the begining of the season,
I downplayed his ability as Florida drubbed
opponent after opponent.
Then, just recently, I started to believe he
was as good as everyone claims. What does he
do? Four interceptions against Auburn only to
be rescued by Danny Weurffel in the second half.
You can always tell a Heisman hopful from
a hopeless when a big game comes around, and
four INTs in a big game does not help Terry's
cause.
Ken's Sunday supper. I was first disheartend
by the fact that there was a college game
on Sunday night. After I heard it was going to
be Rice against No. 12 Texas, I was even more
appalled.
Enter Ken Hatfield and the Rice Owls who
haven't beaten Texas in 29 years. (My parents
had just graduated from high school bade then.)
The Owls surprisingly beat Texas and became
the front runners for a Cotton Bowl berth.
Ken Hatfield better be careful; he gets fired
if he wins too much.
Skip to my Lou. Someone once said I am to
biased against certain teams. Imagine that, a biased
editorial. One team that deserves my comments
more than anyone else is the Notre Dame

Let's face it, this team is not that good, and
