As pumped up as I am thinking about this weekend’s game, I can’t help but remember what all went on this time last year and the whole weird/funny/inexplicable/stressful/wouldn’t-trade-it-for-anything relationship I have with Gamecock football.

I’m just saying

Oh, and, by the way …

Mighty Mississip!
Well, as some of you know … I am out of town for the rest of the week/weekend … Dave, as a “wedding gift” for me, arranged a trip for us to come down to Oxford, Mississippi, for this weekend’s game against Ole Miss!
