I heard a caller on Miles show ask if the school was inviting Coach Dietzel to the game this weekend since it's SCarolina...he did coach there, he is rather old, could be the last time we see SC at Tiger Stadium while the man is alive


I haven't heard anything else....anyone know if any effort was made to have him at the game?

There is history there for the youngsters and I did a search, SIAP

It would be a nice gesture. I'd like to see him there. Heck, I've even forgiven ole 'Ipana Paul'* for bolting LSU for Army.

*For the young and uninformed: Ipana was a toothpaste and referred to Dietzel's shiny, natural grill work.

i think he retired to Baton Rouge, which is telling of where his loyalties may lie... but did you know he is credited w/ SC's fight song and the block "C" logo that is on the side of our helmet.
