Since we are going back to memory lane.... I remember being in the RBC (now PNC) Arena in March of 2002 to see the Regional Final when the beloved Blue Devils defeated the upstart Chickens from Columbia. Great times.





You must be a young cat. I remember talking to my friend (when she was in Columbia at the time) ... after watching that game in 2010. I told her what happened... and she had no idea that a game was even taking place. Probably the biggest win in school history???

I saw the goal posts in five points two weeks in a row in 2000. New Mexico St we took heat for, but it was 21 straight losses before that.

the win over Quincy Carter's Georgia was more understandable celebration. They bought some fancy anti-personnel goal posts after that.
 
Good for Staley. Now fix the roads in South Carolina next. 26 and 95 are god awful... and the other roads weren't that much better. When I was down in June.... my friend was fussing, saying that I was hitting every bump, pothole, or crack in the road. I was thinking to myself... thats all they have in the roads down here. :confused:

26 isn't bad except for the traffic and construction. 95 is a mess.

just drove good portions of both.

I was at that game in Raleigh and the win over Drake two days earlier.

As far as that Alabama game, if you're not a fan you wouldn't know if you didn't live in the downtown/stadium area.

The metal plates really drive me crazy. I will never understand why the DOT starts multiple big projects at the same time and it takes years to finish them. I'm like, put all your resources into one at a time and finish them quickly.
 
WACH FOX’s Matt Dowell saying his sources telling him Dawn’s new contract is in the $2.9 - 3.2 million range.

26 needs an extra lane in both directions all the way down to the 95 interchange. It was frustrating on the way back .. on a Thursday afternoon.

I went to Wofford for the Panthers Camp a couple of summers ago....... I went through there early on a saturday morning.. it wasnt bad, but I could see where the 85 construction zone would be a problem at a later time of day. Looks like it will still be under construction next summer when I head back down that stretch for the last Panther camp at Wofford.

Wow. Is she the highest paid coach at the school? That has to be the highest salary in WBB... I forget what they are paying at LSU.

“Mulkey will make $2,585,000 in her first season, with a $400,000 base salary, $2.04 million in supplemental compensation, $60,000 in sponsor-related compensation and $80,000 in travel related compensation that includes a company vehicle.

The deal will rise to $3.4 million per year in its final season, 2028-29.

Mulkey also will have a shot at $577,000 in incentive pay over the course of the contract, including yearly bonuses of $65,000 for winning the SEC regular season title, $35,000 for winning the SEC Tournament and $150,000 for winning a national championship.”

“Mulkey’s contract with LSU runs through the 2028-29 season and has an annual base salary of $400,000. Supplemental pay raises it to a $2.505 million starting point for the 2021-22 season.

It’s reported that Mulkey made $2.27 a year at Baylor.

At LSU, Mulkey’s salary will increase every year to about $3.3 million by the end of the contract.

Mulkey also receives performance-based incentives, which includes $65,000 for a Southeastern Conference regular season championship, $150,000 for a national title and $15,000 if LSU finishes in the top 10.

If LSU fires her without cause before June 30, 2022, Mulkey will be owed $2.5 million. She will receive a $2 million buyout if LSU fires her without cause after that date.”

Check out Raven’s arms!! She’s definitely going to be a problem for opponents! Especially when she picks the ball up full court!
 
Dawn just got PAAAAAAAID.

Starting at 2.9 a year and ending at 3.5 million a year in the final year!

SEC is flush. It’s deserved for sure, but to see a non-football/men’s basketball coach make that much in a “non-revenue sport” shows you how committed the school is to Dawn and WBB.

I wonder who SC fans would choose if it came down to Watkins or Barker
As a hometown gal, we gotta' love Ashlyn. But her offensive game needs a lot of improvement. She is an excellent defender and rebounder but has few offensive skills. Barker is MUCH more polished on the offensive end and has a beautiful turnaround J.

We pay Dawn 2.9 mil a year to make such decisions.

They're about to spend a billion dollars on Malfunction Junction (I-26, I-20, I-126 areas), but I wish they'd instead spend it on rail. Obviously, I know that will never happen in SC.

Definitely a bigger girl then I thought. Looks taller and wider. Pretty solid build. Made Henney look small going head to head at the intrasquad a couple weeks ago and equaled the size of the male player that was guarding her during the scrimmage against the practice players. Will be interesting to see how her body transforms over time.

A billion seems like a lot. But that area is kind of a nightmare. And it’s going to get worse as Columbia continues growing outward.

Hopefully it doesn’t take 10 years to complete. Back home in Charleston.. I remember they started working on Ashley Phosphate when I was in 8th grade.. and they didn’t finish it until my senior year in undergrad.

I lived in Irmo but worked off I-77. The trip home each afternoon to Malfunction Junctions from I-20 was horrible. I did find it easier to go Broad River or to get to Irmo by the frontage roads off Piney Grove that go up both sides...lol....for 8 years I made that trip. I will never return to Irmo to live. It's a great place just way too much traffic.

I live in Irmo as well right off of Harbinson and i experience the same thing lol. I love Irmo but thinking about moving more in towards Lexington or out near Ballentine. The traffic is beyond crazy for sure.

Wow I’m out near Piney Grove and Broad River. Traffic sucks balls!
 
I know traffic is terrible out there, but there are other ways to deal with bad traffic besides more roads, such as HOV Lanes, encouraging car pooling and commuter rail. SC is the only state I know of that doesn't have a single HOV lane.

I did it again, I'll take the blame. :oops:

On my trip to SC, I actually wanted to see what the big fuss was about concerning that interchange (i've heard and read up about it) and thought about checking it out, but we had to catch a ferry at 1pm (for a trip we paid for in advance) so I didn't take any chances and kept on 77 to 26. It probably would have been ok.... it was around 8:15-8:30am or so we were passing through. Thought about it on the way back... but I was in a salty mood and wanted to get back home .... so I hit 77 instead of going to see the interchange... it was around 2:30pm or so when we passed back through Columbia.

It's usually only bad during rush hour unless there's an accident. I work near there, but I live in the downtown area and drive against traffic, plus don't have to get on the interstate.
 
Dawn’s contract was a big topic of conversation at a gathering I attended this weekend. Since many of the attendees also have daughters who play sports they were all excited about the investment SC has made in a woman’s sport. If you’re from SC you already know the involvement and impact Dawn has in this community. Other than a handful of “Go make me a sammich “ tough guys this has drawn great support across the state.
 
Does Dawn's new contract make her the highest paid coach in women's college basketball? Are there any other coaches getting paid over $3 million a year?
