 | COLUMBIA â€" Imagine that. The first team to make South Carolina sweat at home this season is the same one that lost by 61 here a year ago. "I've thought about it a lot," The Citadel coach Ed Conroy said of last year's opener.

 | Duck calling tips for the second season When duck hunting on public waters, I often wonder what the ducks think when shooting time arrives. As long as it is not too windy, you can hear hunters attempting to call ducks from miles away. The noise can be more deafening than a pup tent full of mosquitoes.

McIlveen enjoys his return to CharlestonPaul McIlveen still has plenty of friends in the South Carolina Stingrays locker room. But McIlveen was forced to put those friendships aside for the weekend. The former Stingray scored the game-winning goal in the second period and added an assist to lead Elmira past South Carolina, 3-2, Saturday night before a crowd of 4,206 at the North Charleston Coliseum.

It was criticism from fans and the media that Clemson junior center/guard Thomas Austin took personally.  | ||
