PlRAS from page 9 back at the adults, the adults talk down to the children, and the people who have remained silent begin telling every one to “SHUT THE HELL UP!,” which only draws the ire of both groups. I sigh and feel vindicated that Open ing Day is right around the comer, when the numbers begin piling up and every one shuts the hell up because they are too busy scrambling to find someone who can steal a base, drive in a few runs, or grab an occasional save. On Opening Day (morning?), I camp in front of my television, eyes burning from a 5 a.m. wake-up to see the Cubs and Mets get things going in Japan. I flip through the channels, stupefied that the game is not televised, cursing myself for getting up so early, cursing ESPN, NBC, FOX and even my remote control. I curse Major League Baseball for such a stupid scheduling move. I curse myself again. And then I curse that e-mail “RE MINDER!” for starting me back down this path, the one I swear I will never go down again as the playoffs start and I flip from one league to another, disbelieving that I can have so many teams in last place. I write a post-it note and stick it on my monitor: “REMINDER! Break this thing before it breaks you!” South Carolina’s football team worked out in shorts and had a two-hour non-con tact practice Vfednesday as spring football camp continued. The practice focused cm the kicking game and offensive ami defensive execu tion. Coach Lou Holtz noted that the pass ing game looked sharp Wednesday and the receivers’ routes were crisp and accurate. “Our routes were much better today,” Holtz said “We ran one route six different times and rank right all six times.” Holtz said several players had emerged (hiring spring practice as “pleasant surpris es.” Among them were safety Antione Ne smith, safety Jonathan Martin, outside line backer Dennis Quinn and defensive tackle Anthony Overstreet. A number of recruits have been stop pit^ by the USC practices. “It’s good to have these recruits come by,” Holtz said “They get a feel for what we’re all about. Here lately, the recruits on the sidelines have looked better than the players on the field” Senior receiver Kevin Sides left the practice field with a bruised kidney. His condition will be evaluated lata; Sides, who saw action at quarterback last season, was moved to slot receiver for the tall. The USC Coaches Clinic begins to day. The Gamecocks will return to the prac tice field this afternoon, with a scrimmage planned for Saturday afternoon.
