Columbia SC The other night my daughter and I went to the USC-Arkansas overtime thriller and I've got to tell you.....The Garnet Army Rocks.

I've been watching the Gamecocks for years and have never seen this type of fan involvement. When the music cranks up and the Garnet Army cranks up the arena rocks. It is electrifying like an NHL game. The sound system is awesome and the big video board over center court is leading edge.

GO COCKS!

Columbia SC Sun Printing has opened a $6 million printing facility on Dreher Road in West Columbia that's expected to add up to 50 jobs by year's end.

The Orangeburg-based printer has six locations in the United States and Mexico and has expanded into the 20,000-square-foot printing facility. This comes as good news for local residents that have watched the unemployment rate shoot up above 7% this year.

Columbia SC We have had a wonderful week of early warm spring weather. The Daffodils are in bloom, buds are on the Dogwoods and it won't be long before the Azaleas are flashing their colors. I was wondering what the all time high temperature for February in Columbia was and I found this chart on Wikipedia. (Used by permission)
