What an incredible experience that I’ll never forget. There was no hype or lead up excitement for me with this event. I just thought to myself on the way home from work this afternoon how cool it would be to see some colors in the sky tonight.. And then tonight happened. The

Last thing I’ll say about the game. If you are criticizing Ryan Hilinski, you really don’t know football. He’s a true freshman playing the hardest schedule in the nation. 8 tds to 3 ints. He’s going to get better. The pure ignorance of saying “Ryan ain’t it” is so stupid.

To this day, this was the wildest & possibly one of the loudest I’ve ever heard Williams Brice. The stadium was less than half capacity at this point also. I remember the energy just being at a whole other level. Truly the heart of our fan base.

I’m still blown away by how loud it was in the third. The stadium only had to be filled up 10-20% of what it could hold during that rainstorm. Those several thousand fans that sat thru that soaking rain was the heart of our fan base, and you could hear and feel the difference.

Guys, be there at Williams Brice this weekend. Despite the way they played Saturday, it’s time to rally around these guys. A new era has begun, and I hate the way it’s happened, but it’s happened. Let’s get out, be loud and proud to be a Gamecock fan. Let’s do this.

Potential rainfall totals have increased since yesterday evening.. They are now calling for over 20 inches of rain for some areas of the Low Country. This mixed with the coastal flooding with storm surge is going to cause major issues for the South Carolina coastline.
