Live from Spartanburg, S.C.

Hey everyone. Welcome to my world. I am in South Carolina attending tailback Marcus Lattimore's program announcing his decision between Auburn and South Carolina.

As you may have read, most recruiting experts believe Lattimore will choose the Gamecocks. Either way, I'm stoked. There are people from the general public here already -- and the announcement is more than two hours away.

I'll update as information comes available.

UPDATE @ 4:50 p.m. CST

It's a full house.

Jet said...: Perhaps will be the recreation of my father's first supper at my mother's house. My grandfather, quite the card, handed my dad a pistol and told him to go kill a chicken for dinner.

Dad, who grew up essentially fatherless in the town, wasn't a farm boy and hadn't killed a chicken before.

So it was a big surprise when the .45 went off in the barn, and it was a bigger one when my grandparents and my mother went outside and saw Dad standing with the smokin' gun over the one rooster they had.; 4:52 PM

Apparently on Tiderinsider an Auburn fan has paid for a subscription or several actually and is using the same name as the owner and a few prominent posters and is stirring up all kinds of stuff.

The way the person is doing it is as follows:

Rodney Orr's name on Tider insider is TI

The impostor is using TI and then a space which can't be seen by the reader. It's hilarious.; 5:07 PM
