A few things I noticed in Columbia on Saturday...


Dec 2, 2019, 9:25 AM

1 - On our Walk from Gamecock Park over to Carolina Park to meet-up with some friends, not one of the few uof6c fans we passed along the way made any snide remarks. Not one !!! Not so much as a "Clemson sucks" or even a "Go #####" which was a first for me in my 40 years of attending games in Slumbia.

2 - We were sitting in an area they call the "Executive Club". This was the third or fourth time I've sat in this section and it is generally split about 50/50 between Clemson and uof5c fans. On Saturday, it was easily 75% Clemson fans.

3 - From what I could see, the crowd in the stadium looked to be split about 50/50 between Clemson and uof6c fans. As you would expect, after the half, the remaining crowd was predominantly orange.

4 - The university has attempted to make some improvements around the stadium but it's akin to putting lipstick on a pig. It's still a dump and will never ever come even remotely close to matching the appeal of Clemson on a Fall Saturday.

5 - We were there early enough to see the Unity Walk of Champions (about 40 to 45 minutes prior to kickoff. Very few uof5c students were there to see it. The few who were either turned their back to the team as they walked toward the end zone or rendered the traditional uof6c middle finger salute. Overall it was pretty harmless.

6 - Every Gamecock fan I talked to said they were very disappointed that CussChamp was being retained. When ask who they'd like to have instead, I was surprised how many mentioned Lane Kiffin.

7 - The traditional uof6c "third quarter mass exodus" is one of the few Capon traditions that I actually like and Saturday didn't disappoint. The Coot students cut-out at halftime. The Chicken fans who did hang around until after the half, bailed soon thereafter. The few in our group said they were going home to watch Alabama.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

1. The game was as electric as an Amish funeral and worse second half when most of their fans left.
2. I had access to 3 Cockabooses. Having a catered meal while drinking somebody else's booze, watching football and enjoying easy access to clean bathroom facilities cannot be downplayed. You can own one for $219,000. This one has been languishing on the market since 8/1. I expect a price cut soon. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1006-Bluff-Rd-13-Columbia-SC-29201/2083322745_zpid/

Wonder if you could paint it orange? Might improve the neighborhood.

If people were as good as their obituary - and products were as good as advertised - this would truly be a wonderful world !!


I heard a single "Clemson sucks" and one Eff Clemson - but
