To be the best, you have to compete against
the best. The South Carolina men's and women's
track and field teams travel to Gainesville, Fla., this
weekend for the ACC-SEC Challenge?which will
feature five Top 15 teams for the men and five Top
15 teams for the women, including No. 1LSU.
The meet pits the ACC's finest (North Carolina,
Clemson, Florida State and Georgia tech) against
the SEC's best (Auburn, Ole Miss, LSU, South Carolina,
Florida and Georgia). 1
^ South Carolina is currently ranked No. 3 on the
men's side and No. 8 on the women's side by Trackwire.
"We saw Tennessee and Kentucky the past (
two weeks so after this weekend we will have a better
understanding of where we stand both in the i
SEC and on the national level," USC head coach
Curtis Frye said. "This is a good preview for us because
this meet includes all the SEC heavies, with j
the exception of Arkansas.
"We will be able to see where we stack up. The j
teams are coming together. I am proud of the progress i
^ we have made in just the past two weeks."
^ The two teams have combined for 13 NCAA automatic
and provisional performances. In fact, three
of their performances are currently No. 1 in the i

Singleton: Su]
Souled Out a
=i~ After
spending a
week or so^
in alcohol
rehab, I returned
to
the liquor
store to
watch the
1 ''' ? ?J biggest
shawn SINGLETON blowout of
Singleton 3:16 the year. At
least I
thought I was going to watch the biggest
blowout since the Pamela Lee tape.
To paraphrase Ben Franklin, only
three things are certain: death, the
chances that the president will be involved
in another sex scandal, and the
NFC runs away with the Super Bowl.
That is, until this past Sunday.
This may have been the most exciting
Super Bowl since my Giants beat
Buffalo in 1991. Unless you were a Denver
fan or some poor sentimental fool
who wanted John Elway to finally win
one, no one gave the jerks from the Mile
High City a chance.
Green Bay was a 12-point favorite
in this game. They were the defending
world champions. Combine this with
ii. _ i.1. _ i. ai_ _ xmn i i 1 r?
me iacis mat tne int u naa won id
straight against the weaker AFC and
that Elway was 0-3 in Super Bowls, losing
by a combined total of 136-40, and
you would think your money was
safe, right?
Hell no! Vince Lombardi must be
doing the Bossanova in his grave right j
now. It is so ironic that the trophy with
his name on it would be lost by the team
with whom he won the first two of these.
The only really good thing about the
game for me was Marilyn Manson
killing Hanson and the Spice Girls during
the halftime show.
Green Bay ruined the party for the
rest of the NFC. Their offensive line
played like they all got jackknife power
bombs from Kevin Nash. Brett Favre
should go back to the painkillers; he

However, in fairness to the victors,
let me congratulate John Elway. After
15 years of getting the Heimlich Maneuver
in big games, he finally got a
piece of the championship pie that he
could swallow. This was his Holy Grail;
and just when you thought he had nothing
left, he found enough heart left to
win it all. Enjoy it, John. You've waited
long enough.
It is now time for me to move away
from one football team to just a bunch
of lazy students. I'm not even going to
introduce the idiot award for there are
i . ill. T i 1
ioo many 01 you out mere, instead, you
idiots will feel the full wrath of Singleton
3:16.
Word is more thanl,200 tickets
available for Wednesday's game against
Florida and 1,000 tickets available for
17th-ranked Cincinnati on Saturday.
This is a real shame, people. All I
heard during football season was how
you students were waiting for basketball
season because the football team
was had a bad season. Now you have
the chance to get back what you're pay
ing in activity fees, and you're not picking
up the tickets.
This is not right. Save that attitude
for the easy skins you try to hit at
Tallyho. Support this team. This is your
team so leave the apathy to the rednecks
at Clem Tech.
I don't want to have to say this
again.
