And you thought it couldn't get any worse - wait til the sandstorm

The Cats are in Columbia, South Carolina for their second straight away game and are seeking their first true road win of the season, following this week's loss at Alabama and last week's loss at Georgia.

The good news with the situation: They will be avoiding the horrible weather in Kentucky.
The bad news: They will be trading a snow storm for a sandstorm.

Sure you say, South Carolina is sunny. Sure they have beaches and sand. Sure they have the a hurricane ever 20 years, but a sandstorm? What are you talking about?

Practice. I'm talking about Practice Willis. That and the worlds most annoying stadium song. I am probably overstating it when I say song. It's more of a techno beat that plays over, and over and over. It's a tune that makes Taylor Swift sound good and Rocky Top sound like choir bells. It's like the cry of a baby on an airplane when you're sleeping. It's like the hammer of a roofing nail at 7am on a Saturday you're hung over. It's like the noises you heard in the back room of your favorite Italian restaurant 10 years ago. It was the Devan Downey backdrop in his effort to hand the Draft Cats of 2010 their first loss of the season last year. It's horrific and rest assured, you will hear it this Saturday and you will hear it over, and over again. It's Sandstorm.

But here's to having Kentucky put another South Carolina smack-down (remember, the Cats won in Basketball last year at home, then beat the 'Cocks and Steve Spurrier in football) and here's to not hearing Sandstorm again in Columbia the hands of South Carolina until next season.
