Zoman,

Thanks for the rosters. I am SO sorry I didn't post this earlier but I am a teacher and I'm getting my students ready for their finals and I haven't had any time to check my alma mater's roster until tonight. Please put these simple roster corrections in your next edit. Yes, I know you weren't planning on more edits, but they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

SOUTH CAROLINA

Players who were not on the team (all year):
Dakota Walker-54
James Green-97
Sam Pope-40
Eric Baker-29

Number Changes (that can be made):
Eric Norwood is 40 not 85 (release Pope to make it possible)
Kenrick Ellis is 97 not 90 (release Green to make it possible)
Cliff Matthews is 83 not 81
Andy Boyd is 80 not 83
Vandaral Shackleford is 48 not 58
Spencer Lanning is 87, taken, so 86 or 88 not 92
Byron McKnight is 92 not 88

Please do this if you can. Thanks.

Changing the numbers is no problem. However, for some stupid reason you cant release players or delete them, so Ill see if I can do anything with the guys that didnt play.

Thanks man--I appreciate it. Like I said, I know this is supposed to be your "final" roster so I apologize for giving you more work! That IS stupid that you can't release players, because (South Carolina's) Pope has Norwood's number and Green has Ellis' number; you could just switch the numbers I guess, then maybe bury those guys in the depth chart. Jamire Williams is 10, not 35, so just make him 19.

That's about all for the number changes. The others that were wrong already have their numbers taken so there's nothing you can do about it. Thanks again for doing this.
