Can't say I'm surprised, kid was a Grade A douche in high school. Him and Robert Marve really shine a good light on Tampa QBs.
Stephen Garcia won’t get a sixth chance to play quarterback for No. 15 South Carolina.
Garcia, who had been suspended and brought back to the team five previous times, was dismissed Tuesday for failing an alcohol test, a person familiar with the decision said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because South Carolina had not announced specifically why Garcia had been kicked off the team.

Spurrier gave the kid way too many chances - coincidentally they finally release him after Connor Shaw throws all over UK.

I'ma USC Fan and this is great. OUr offense finally showed up on Saturday. Ellington is going to be a playmaker. I used to watch him when he played for Berkeley HS.

THis is a good thing for USC and Shaw.

Garcia's an idiot - he's been a trainwreck and constantly in the news since I moved to the state. I like USC, and they're better off without him.

All of you are correct, but I still question the timing. Sure, the kid screwed up and had to be punished. But why did the kid screw up NOW? He had to know after signing that contract that he'd be forcing Spurrier's hand. They have NOBODY with experience behind Shaw. If he goes down, they're freaking SCREWED.
Spurrier did the right thing, but EGAD!!!

He screwed up because he decided to get drunk and high after Spurrier benched him. Like others said if Shaw didn't play well, he'd still be there.

I have a friend who goes to USC (great source right?) and he said word was on campus that he lost his starting position, lost custody of his kid, and decided to have a few and maybe some other activity as well. Word got out, coaches heard, tested him, and he was off the team.

I guess his dad is reported as having said that once Stephen was benched, they had some drinks together to mourn it...
