THE TEAM LET LOOSE BEFORE HEADING TO ARKANSAS?
For Gamecock fans, Saturday’s loss to SEC rival Arkansas was the third straight heart-breaker in as many weeks. The 48-36 loss means South Carolina is no longer ranked and, with two tough opponents remaining, faces the prospect of going from 6-1 to not making a bowl.
While it was the team as a whole that lost and not one particular player’s fault, one of the most glaring weaknesses was the offensive line. Sorensen outQuarterback Blake Mitchell was sacked twice and hurried at least another dozen times. It seemed the rare occasion that more than three seconds passed between the time the ball was snapped and the time the Razorback defense was in the South Carolina backfield. 
And then we received these hilarious photos of Gamecock’s right tackle Justin Sorensen (above and left) — among a number of other players — from a reader who said they were taken on Halloween night in Columbia’s Five Points district, and suddenly it all made sense. A bunch of South Carolina players went out partying the night before the team traveled to Fayetteville, and then the team got roughed up by the Razorbacks. The only reason we weren’t more surprised at these pictures was because Sorensen has a history of crazy behavior.

Wasn't Halloween night on a Wednesday? If so, wouldn't that mean that the team left Thursday? I'm not doubting your story, perhaps they did leave then, but I think it would make since to go out on Wednesday (Halloween Night) and have a little fun...hell I was out there, and, although slightly intoxicated at the time, I think I saw him that night...no harm, no foul. There's no excuse you can give for playing poorly, and I believe Justin Sorensen realizes that. He also should realize, however, that his behavior in five points and notoriety for frequently being in that area gives other people a bad impression of him and the team. Also, I was told by someone that the night before every game, Spurrier goes to the movies with the team, in order to keep them healthy the night before out of trouble I suppose.
Not sure. I am just reposting the info.
