But, definitely, offering prayers for his family. Empathy transcends rivalries.

Always enjoyed his asinine ramblings. Sounded like a solid guy all around though.

passed....One of the Four Horsemen. Was it Rogers,Spurrier,Ric Flair,and Gamecock Will? I remember clearly the day he showed up at a house I had for sale in Wrentree in Powdersville. Probably 5'6'' MAX in a Garnet Tshirt with big gold chain, driving a garnet Ford Fusion. I kid you now. I told my builder as soon as he left that we had just met Gamecock Will.....He really liked the house, but I swear, I think he must have found out who I was,because he never answered another call from me....
Come August...He will be missed.

Regardless of his favorite teams, you gotta respect the fact that he was just a man who loved sports

I had no clue he was battling anything. My best friend’s dad just had 2 strokes last week. He’s only 61. Luckily, still alive, but you never know when it’s your time.
Prayers out to GW’s family. I always looked forward to his stoopidity on-air, but I heard in real life he was a generous man that would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. That’s the type of people we need more of nowadays.
RIP.

missed that announcement. I was just thinking how he hadn't called in to crow about their women's national title yet.
Sad to hear. I always got the impression he was somewhat joking around with some of his more outlandish takes about his Gamecocks. Knew how to rile people up.

I don’t know if there’s any truth to it, but someone told me years ago he was a bouncer at a bar in Greer, and he wasn’t that old, he just sounded like a cranky old geezer on the telephone

His radio persona was no act - it was 100% genuine. He was our delivery driver at a company I used to work for, and aside from being a warped coot fan, he was really a nice guy, and once he found out I was a Clemson fan, the chirping never stopped. It was all good natured though, and I gave it right back. I had not seen him in about 5 or 6 years, and am sorry to learn of his passing. He was quite a character, and will be missed.

Hate to hear this news. His takes were laughable sometimes on WCCP. Didn’t he live in the Easley area ?

that meat head always on You.tube blabbering about the Coots while driving a delivery van or car.
Now he is obnoxious but entertaining too especially the time when he threw something at his TV and shattered the screen or when he yells out-loud, gets out of his lounge chair & swears in a nice way when Coot team does something stupid which is a lot.
R.I.P. Gamecock WILL~

We would play basketball with some mutual friends.
I always called him Carey. That's what I knew him as.
I literally did not know that he was the "Gamecock Will" until about 7 or 8 yrs ago.
Back in the day he was just a nice guy that smiled a lot. Very pleasant to be around. Never heard him say a negative thing, even when we whipped his behind on the court.
Give him credit, he knew how to rile up us Clemson fans once he transitioned to his alter ego.

William (Gamecock Will) Sisk of Easley
He was a character. Enjoyed when he called in to WCCP the last 7 or 8 years. Got on my nerves before then, but that’s what he wanted.
I could appreciate it.
Heard it said many times he was a really good guy. Sorry to hear of his passing. I’ll miss him.

Back around 01' or so I ran the Haywood mall UPS route. Gamecock Will was an Airborne Express driver in that area. We would always chat when we ran into one another.
