    Mind boggling that they don't have a running back AGAIN this year.

    George Rogers won a Heisman at RB. Seems like they should at least ba able to pull one out from under a rock in Goose Creek.

    I have a long time family friend, Gator Grad, that will take his Seminole wife up to Columbia to see their University of South Carolina daughter at the game this come Saturday. He will be all Gator and the mom will cheer with the daughter for the Gamecocks. She's a nole so...

    One of these days I'll have to make some of these away games.

    RB’s at SC over the years

    George Rogers
    Harold Green
    Duce Staley
    Marcus Lattimore
    Mike Davis

    The RB coach is Montario Hardesty ( he played at Tenn) he’s a very poor recruiter and he ended up with a raise and extension last year. Beamer needs to cut the dead weight, because he’s to loyal to coaches.

    To be fair, Lou Holtz used to be their coach. They learned from the master.

    I expect a good ballgame and predict UFs first road win of the year.

  9. I went to school at USCe before transferring to Florida, so I enjoy the civil discourse before this game. Go Gators.

    Went to UF so bleed Orange and Blue but I wrote checks to USC for 5 years for my son who went there. Been to Willy-Brice many times and never had a bad trip

    note to anyone going is that the State Fair is in town so the majority of the tailgating lots in the front will be unavailable.

    A big concern is the bye week they have. I believe Arkansas has one before our game too while we don’t.

    Hope you have a great time….

    I don’t know if you have parking already, but Bernie’s off of Bluff Rd is a great place to park and go in and eat.

    This stuff cracks me up because each year it's like it's a complete surprise to the hosts; never sufficient information produced in advance. What time do the lots open; what exactly do you mean by "tailgating" that you don't want to see? For some places it's the drinking, for others it's usually a charcoal grill. Typically, it's one or the other. Some places tend to crack down on any reason not to spend money at their approved vendors.

    Parking | South Carolina State Fair

    All that said, Carolina fans have been awesome whenever I've gone.

    We parked in the lot 4 years ago for a nooner, and it was great. Parking was only $5-$10 at the time, looks like it's $20 for Saturday. Can't remember them giving us a hard time for any reason (other than parking before the lots opened).

    Go GATORS!

    Got it, thanks! How early do you think we need to get there to secure a spot?

    Just to follow-up on the State Fair parking stuff:

    - The parking lot will open at 9:00 am.
    - Parking is $20 on Saturday, card only.
    - As for prohibited tailGATORing: "You can gather around your cars but cannot have tents or chairs." Sounds like they're more concerned about space and mobility than drinking/grilling.

    Go GATORS!
