Guilt by transference, football edition

    South Carolina has gotten another coach fired. We have made somewhat a tradition of it. It seems like every time we beat a favored home team, that school fires the coach. Truthfully, though, the only two I remember for sure are Philip Fulmer and now Will Muschamp.
    It was certainly an astonishing game. After three straight games where SC was leading in the fourth quarter by two touchdowns and then somehow managed to lose, this time they were playing staunchly and stoutly and still were headed to another loss. However, they blocked a field goal and then a punt, a man recovered his own fumble in the end zone for a tying touchdown and then they won it in overtime. Two days later, I'm still charged up about it.
    But all I wanted to say about firing of coaches was that sure we aren't Alabama, but we always put a lot of guys in the NFL. Sometimes our record isn't that great, but we've always had more than our share of bad breaks. Maybe these schools ought to wait a bit and think about it more and then fire their guy after he loses to somebody else. Come on! I feel guilty. (Granted not very. What a game!)
