Gameday Feels Gamecock Fans Know Too Well

The time of year every college kid who goes to a big football school waits all year for is finally back! If you go to a big college, especially down south, you know that college football is no joke. And if you attend the University of South Carolina you know the many mixed emotions of being a Gamecock fan. We have a brand new coach and pretty new team this year so we're not really too sure what to expect from our team. But we know our boys will give it their all so we're pretty excited to see them make a comeback this year!

If you're a gamecock fan, you can probably relate to all of these things leading up to gameday, during and after it..

1. Game day is finally here.
