VICTORY pafr:
All told, McKie accounted foi
seven points in seven seconds. Bu
more importantly, he gave the
Gamecocks momentum they wouldn*
soon relinquish.
"I really don't know whai
happened," McKie said of the tide
turning trip. "It was a play that ]
was supposed to go back-door, anc
I was fouled, and I just threw it up
on the other side." McKie ther
quipped, "I practice that all the time.'
The spark led the way for USC's
second-half explosion, as tht
Gamecocks made 13 of 22 field goa]
attempts for a 59.1 percentage; ?
big change from their 21.4 percenl
first-half effort
USC extended its lead to as much
as 15 when Stack hit two free throws
with 4:11 left to give the Gamecocks
a 69-54 lead.
USC's postseason outlook, which
looked Weak after December's upsetlosses
to UNC-Asheville and
Charleston Southern, has made
positive turns during the recent
string of wins.
"We'rp inst. still t.n lriner it nnp
game at a time, and we're still taking
that positive attitude and positive
approach into every game that we
feel we have a chance to win," McKie
said. "As long as we play as a team,
play together and play unselfish and
believe in each other, we believe
anything is possible."
The win over Georgia was also
made possible by senior guard Larry
Davis, who scored a game-high 22
points despite shooting only 3-of-10
from the field. The catch? Davis went
15-of-17 from the free-throw line,

New Year's res
As I was freezing my butt off in
Times Square on New Year's Eve,
my mind was shifting to those dreadful
New Year's resolutions that I probably
wasn't expecting to follow anyway.
These are some of the things I was
thinking about while I was waiting

As a result, Hie Blitz will welcome
in the New Year by checking out the
New Year's resolutions of some sports
celebrities and also-rans.
Barry Switaen Increase Christmas
bonuses for Dallas judges. Also, must
clip strings cast upon thee by that
wonderful puppet master Jeny Jones.
Michael Irvin: Stay away from Erik
Williams, strippers and the Carolina
Panther defense
Dom Capers and Tom Coughlin:
Keep up the good work. You guys
have nothing to be ashamed of, but
the road does get harder for you.
Brad Scott: Invite third graders to
try out for the position of punter this
year. This should scare Courtney
Leavitt into making 30-yard punts
this time.
David Stern: Stop drafting high
school kids and college freshmen.
Employ a draft system similar to the
NFL in which only juniors can leave
early.
Jeff Maier: Play hooky on the day
of the school trip to Baltimore, for
obvious reasons.

?rs up possible
olutions for '97
Dennis Rodman: Lighten your hair.
Pastels are in this year. Also, get
with Jackie Chan to work on your
kicks and headbutts. After all, you've
got eleven games to think about it.
Bud Selig: Get a real commissioner.
Even though you weren't the worst
(that award goes to Fay Vincent),
there is much room for improvement.
Marge Schott: Become a guest
commentator on the Rush Iimbaugh
show. That's the perfect place to display
those idiotic and racist comments.
Tommy West: Attend more of his
players' parole hearings. Looks like
those road games at Attica and
Shawshank might be tough.
Kevin Greene: Kiss and make up
with Ric Flair. You won't be able to
deal with the tougher NFL schedule
and the New World Order at the same
time, so this should facilitate things.
finally, this INew Years resolution
is for all the real sports fans here and
all around the general area.
Take your games back. Sports
have become a disgusting anomaly
of luxury boxes and exorbitant ticket
prices made for wine-and-cheese
crowds who probably think the word
"score" was something they did at
their last fraternity or sorority party
in college.
You made this game and it belongs
to you.
Dont let greedy owners and players
who think that loyalty is a four-letter
word ruin the sports you love so much.
