I did, however, buy myself a nice little garnet-colored tshirt with a subtle palmetto tree (state tree, hullo!) in the corner accompanied by the initials USC. I know I didn't attend USC as a student, BUT my husband did for both undergrad and grad school and this is my hometown now so look out Friday Night Lights!
Last week I had the amazing pleasure of attending the USC vs. Kentucky game. I was graciously hosted by JR and PB who are master game-goers and tailgaters. I ate and drank myself silly and it was the most fun I've had in a looong time.
Here's the gang tailgating before the game (it was pouring rain at that point).
And here's me and JR enjoying ourselves wholeheartedly with the guy who has seats behind hers mugging it up behind us.
Finally, the pinnacle of the evening - we beat Kentucky big time and here's the scoreboard setting off fireworks (yes, I did say "we").
College football - who knew?!

Go Gamecocks! I'm a grad and you are right -- the wordplay on "Cocks" is creative, to say the least.
I am sad to say that I don't live in SC now. When my parents went "home" to visit family, I asked Dad to bring me a T-shirt. He brought me one that said something like "I'm a Big Cock Fan." Went right over Dad's head, but I got a good giggle out of it!
YAY!!!! it's pretty hard to live in columbia and NOT be a gamecock fan. heck, the streets are deserted when a game's on! everyone is a fan.
i was at that game, too! it's hard to get tickets sometimes. we were the lucky ones. i was so glad the rain stopped JUST before kickoff. perfect timing!
