As a Gamecocks fan, this is about the best Thanksgiving-Christmas present I could possibly get.
The job Holtz did rebuilding the program is overlooked by many (even Gamecocks fans). He took over a team coming off a 1-10 season and went 0-11 his first year. He's gotten USC to the point that it can go into a game with UGA, UT or Fla thinking it has a shot to win, which is a nice change.
With the solid foundation, everything is set up for Spurrier to have success. As far as the recruiting base is concerned, if OBC can just seal the border and keep the players at home, he'll have a much better team than you think. Tennessee and FSU, particularly, have picked many great players from S.C.
And don't underestimate the pull that Spurrier has with recruits. Kids want to play in his offense.
Of course, if Spurrier can't do it in Columbia, we might as well shut down the program.
