Welcome

Sorry, this isn't Musky. It's Bran Strickland, the Star's Sports Editor.

Before Al gets started, I just wanted to welcome you to the Gamecocks' Blog. I'm sure y'all are reading Al's stuff on Web site or in our paper, but this is where we hope you'll come to find out more.

It might be Al's take on a certain situation, it might be a quick sidenote from practice. Heck, it might even be a link to a story about the opposing team that their hometown paper is writing (like this about Saturday's opponent).

Whatever it is, we want this to be a place where you can come to grab that quick nugget of knowledge.

And while you ready yourself for Saturday's kickoff, enjoy this rendition of "I'll Fly Away" by the Southerners.
