Blake Mitchell needs to prioritize like Taneyhill: front, business;back, party.

The tradition of bon vivant quarterbacks at South Carolina continues: Blake Mitchell, d-d-d-d-dancin’ fool, has been suspended for the opener at Louisiana-Lafayette for missing an excessive number of classes during summer session in Columbia. (ONE HUNDRED COCKTAILS in the internet marketing department for first announcing the suspensions on his website, spurrierhbc.com. That’s synergy, baby!)

Mitchell, like his predecessor Steve Taneyhill, has had trouble in social situations with alcohol and also enjoys a festive jig from time to time. The game is versus the team whose name appears as “UL-LAF” on the scoreboard in the EA: NCAA video games. And against South Carolina, even without starter Mitchell, we probably will do just that by the late second quarter.
