You know, you don't really realize just how much you've customized your computer until you get a new one. I've gotten myself behind just learning how to drive this crazy thing, so the South Carolina preview is going to be abbreviated. Really, though, it should be shortened anyway because there is one key to the game and one key only. This is that key:

Key to the Game
Stop Devan Downey. I think today it would just be nice not to allow an opposing guard a career high, which, by the way, is 37 for Downey. Holding him to less than 20 (his average is 19.6) would be biscuits and gravy. Holding him to 15 or less would be like adding sausage. Hmm. It's 8:04 and I haven't had breakfast yet, so that explains that.
