Every time I think my revulsion of all things SC might wane, something like this happens.  The culture of this kind of behavior is so deep that it outlasts every change of coach and every change of AD.  Our football players in 1977 talked about how SC kicked, punched, and otherwise played "dirty," in a way that went far beyond any other team.  I suppose it is a little harder to get away with as much of it today--with every game televised from numerous angles--unless you are a particular idiot.  But forty years (or more?) of cheating and bad sportsmanship points to something deeply embedded in the SC cesspool.
