catdaddyp Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Im no longer planning on going. For those who are going, it’ll either be a blast or you’ll walk away with a headache due to Sandstorm and the relentless chicken crowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 7:30....sigh.... Had some friends invite me and Mrs. GP1, the luckiest woman in the world, to their tailgate right next to the stadium then the game. I'm hoping they forgot they invited us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted September 10 Author Report Share Posted September 10 Two Big Ten beatdowns in succession has taken the wind out of my OOC sails. I had planned on heading to the Palmetto state, but I'll save the time, money and PTO days for a nice fall golf trip instead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply not interested in that. I'm really struggling to enjoy college this year and maybe the past couple of years. Maybe it's been longer and I was in denial. Regardless, the TV networks are winning. They are trading my time for the time of drunks and degenerate gamblers. I don't know how much longer I can put up with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a car and want some waterfront activity, Liberty on Lake Murray is awesome. If you want to stay in the city, The Vista has a ton of good places. https://www.vistacolumbia.com/directory/eat-and-drink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catdaddyp Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Some Gamecock info and players to watch: OFFENSE: Carolina has struggled to consistently pass the ball in 2024. Redshirt freshman LaNorris Sellers has a canon for an arm, but is still working on accuracy. However, he is a dynamic runner and was clocked at 20 mph this past weekend. Sellers has been dealing with an ankle injury, so his availability may be limited. Rocket Sanders is currently 4th in the SEC in rushing yards and was clocked at 21 mph against LSU. Carolina wants to run the ball. WR Nyck Harbor has created some buzz thanks to the NCAA video game, although do not expect video game like numbers from him as he still has plenty of developing to do. The TEs are heavily utilized and are a threat in the passing game. The OL is solid on the interior and still developing at the tackle spots. DEFENSE: The Gamecocks have one of the best (if not the best) pass rushing defensive fronts in the SEC. DE Kyle Kennard is tied #1 nationally in sacks. On the opposite end is one of the most impressive freshmen edge rushers I’ve seen in former 5 star Dylan Stewart. Carolina is deep at DT as well. The linebackers are fast and explosive. That said, they had some unusual tackling issues against LSU. The secondary has a ton of length and are excellent in run support. The safeties tend to struggle against receiving corps that have a lot of speed. This is a very physical defense. SPECIAL TEAMS: Beamer ball. The Gamecocks have not missed a beat without Pete Lembo. They’ve blocked more punts in Beamer’s tenure than any other program during that span. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been there. Looks like it got a much needed facelift in recent years. Thanks for bringing it up. It's going to be a beautiful day Saturday. My advice is to stay out of a bar and enjoy a nice day. Don't worry about the games on TV. Most aren't very good. Doc's BBQ is close to the stadium. Go buy some drinks and pick up some BBQ. Eat your BBQ with a knife and fork, not as a sandwich. The bread takes away from the taste of the pork. Also, get hash and rice as a side. Try a South Carolina mustard based sauce. Parking. Go on the Internet and spend the extra money for a parking spot in a private parking lot. Most have modern bathrooms. It's worth the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed also if you want a real taste of South Carolina bbq while y’all are down here go to Marice’s piggy park thats about as authentic as it gets. Five points is where all the college kids go to drink and the state house district is also very nice. Also y’all visit the horseshoe very very pretty part of campus 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to add on to this yes J’s corner is completely new they redid everything very nice to stop in and grab a drink. I hope y’all have a great time visiting and for the Akron fans that make the trip I think you’ll find a lot of hospitality and friendliness really soak in the night game experience it’s a blast 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be 85,000 people going to the game. This place does not have a big footprint. If you think this is where you want to post up, you had better get there early.
