Publisher Description:

Most South Carolina football fans have attended a game at Williams-Brice Stadium, seen highlights of a young George Rogers, and can recite memorable quotes from the team's "Head Ball Coach," Steve Spurrier. But only real fans know the history of the team's alternate black uniforms, remember when Cocky first appeared as the team's mascot, or know all the lyrics to "The Fighting Gamecocks Lead the Way." 100 Things South Carolina Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die reveals the most critical moments and important facts about past and present players, coaches, and teams that are part of the storied history that is South Carolina football. Scattered throughout the pages, are pep talks, records, and Gamecocks lore to test fans' knowledge, including the formative years of South Carolina football, from its origins in the 1800s to Paul Dietzel's tenure in the 1960s and 1970s; George Rogers' unforgettable 1980 Heisman Trophy season, including South Carolina's upset of Bo Schembechler's favored Michigan team in Ann Arbor; South Carolina's entrance into the SEC in 1992 and Lou Holtz's memorable tenure as Gamecocks head coach before Spurrier arrived in Columbia; and profiles of memorable Gamecocks figures such as Joe Morrison, Rogers, Dietzel, Jim Carlen, and recent stars Marcus Lattimore and Jadeveon Clowney. Die-hard fans from the days of George Rogers as well as new supporters of head coach Spurrier's squad will enjoy this guide to everything Gamecocks fans should know, see, and do in their lifetime.
