FROM STAFF REPORTS GAINESVILLE, FLA. - In the end, Florida coach Steve Spurrier decided to go with the experienced hand. Spurrier announced Monday night incumbent Rex Grossman would start at quar terback in Saturday night’s opener against Marshall, end' ing an off-season of speculation about Brock Berlin’s chances of starting. “I just think Grossman de serves to be the starter right now,” Spurrier said. “Brock’s ready, and he’ll play if he’s needed, but I hope Rex goes a long way. He’ll have the same chance he had last year.” Grossman started the Gators’ final eight games last season, including Florida’s Sugar Bowl loss to Miami, though he shared time with Jesse Palmer. Grossman threw for 1,866 yards and 21 touchdowns dur ing the regular season. He had a 238-yard, four-TD perfor mance for MVP honors as UF beat Auburn in the Southeastern Conference title game. He added 252 yards and one TD in the Sugar Bowl. Despite those numbers, in the spring Spurrier started considering Berlin, the na tion’s number-one recruit two years ago out of Shrevepott, La., for the job. The duel be tween Grossman and Berlin carried over through fall two a-days and two scrimmages. Though Spurrier waited un til Monday to announce his de cision, Grossman took most of the snaps last week with the first-team offense. How long the Indiana native will hold the job remains open for specula tion. A year ago, Palmer seemed to have a firm hold on the job, until Spurrier pulled him mid-drive in the second quarter of a 55-0 romp over Middle Tennessee, the sea son’s second game. Grossman threw a 16-yard TD pass to Alex Willis on his first snap, and added two more TDs when Palmer was given the rest of the night off. Four weeks later, Grossman opened for an injured Palmer against LSU, throwing for 276 yards and three TDs. He started every game afterward, though Palmer saw significant action against Georgia, South Carolina and Florida State. Berlin threw 27 passes in four games as a true freshman last sea son. His only snaps came in a loss at Mississippi State last year Almond How to survive a USC football game CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 An added bonus of tailgating: if you drink beforehand, you’ll have a good time, win or lose. And it’s been our team’s tenden cy over the years to lose. Not counting last year, of course. Wait, never mind, you’re un derage. You don’t do that stuff. Stick to 7Up. DON’T sit in your assigned seat. Student-section seats are first come, first served. If you come over and tell me I’m sitting in your seat, I’m drop-kicking you down the stairs. To quote The Rock, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOUR TICKET SAYS! It’s different for basketball games, but there aren’t 80,000 seats at Frank McGuire Arena. So if you wanted to sit where I’m sitting, just suck it up and move somewhere else. DON’T sit in any seat! Students are expected to stand from the National Anthem tothe final whistle. Unless you’re Casey Martin, I’d better not see you rest for one play. It’s okay to sit at halftime and during time outs, hut when the Gamecocks are on the field, you gotta be up. DO scream your lungs out. This is football not a tea party. There’s a 100 percent chance the players won’t hear what you’re saying. Don’t expect Phil Petty to follow your suggestion and throw the bomb. But the crowd noise will make the op posing team crap their pants whenever they try to score on our side of the field. It’s hard enough for them to keep their composure when they hear Kalimba Edwards’ footsteps. Imagine if they couldn’t hear them at all. DON’T wear orange. Under no circumstances. You might as well wear a target on your back or a Teflon vest. DO clap along with the fight song, but DON’T make a peep when they play the spirit song “Rockin’ With the Gamecocks.” I’m not sure whether they'll still play it at the games, but if they do, you’ll know. It’s the worst thing you will ever have heard, and your ears might start to bleed. School spirit is great, but cheering along with “Rockin’ With the Gamecocks” is a deadly sin. If you’re a guy, you instantly forfeit all claims to heterosexu ality. DO give Cocky some love. Unlike cheering to “Rockin’ With The Gamecocks,” it’s quite OK to bond with the school mas cot. You might not think it looks cool, but what do you know? Shake hands with Cocky, pat him on the back and tell him he’s doing a hell of a job — even if he looks like a Sesame Street reject. D0N7 leave early, even if the score is lopsided. Gamecocks fight to the end, and if you leave early just to save ten minutes, you’re not a true Gamecock. DO respect your fellow stu dents, even if they’re always pes simistic. You aren’t any better be cause you have faith in your team. Bickering with other stu dents is a big no-no. Unless of course, they’re wearing orange, then it’s fair game.
