GOOOO Cocks!

Yes, this post may look a little similar to this recent one but today over at Kellys Korner, it's Show us Your Life "Favorite Teams and Tailgating Traditions!" Since I'm a USC alumni {that's South Carolina, not Southern Cal ya'll } , my blood runs garnet. I love the Gamecocks and all things Carolina! Ok, so we may not be the absolute best team in the SEC as far as wins go, but 2009 has proven to be a great year for the Gamecocks and hopefully they will continue to make us proud! I'm still convinced that win or lose, we have amazing fans and certainly know how to have a good time, no matter what!

Just a few of my favorite things about gameday at Carolina...

best college football entrance to "2001"
Cocky's magical appearance before every game
"GAAAAAAME"....."COOOOOOCKS".... if you've been to a game you know what I mean
gamecock face tatoos and dressing up for games
"the fairgrounds" & SC-ETV tailgating
Bojangles ;)
sunsets over Williams Brice
favorite tailgate food is Chick Fil A nuggets, a good ranch dip & chips, always have a box of Cheez Its and Chex Mix for munching, and lots of yummy sweets! {Oh, and Bojangles because it's right there at the stadium!}

Here's a few of my favorite Carolina Gameday photos - starting with one of my very FIRST games with my freshman roomate Courtney in 2002, to a photo of my husband Chad and I a few weeks ago at his FIRST experience at Williams Brice! {he's a Clemson fan...yes, our house is DIVIDED!}

Oh how I miss the student section...

below: rockin the "double coat look" because it was FREEZING at this 2007 game!

Below is a photo of my friend Kelly and I at the USC vs Ole Miss game a few weeks ago wearing handmade dresses by LK DESIGNS and Ellen & Ollie - both lines sold at my store Sugar.

Gameday outfits for both USC and Clemson sell quickly at Sugar since we are between both schools and everyone loves to dress up! I recently picked up a new line called Tru Colors, all thanks to Mrs Kelly Stamps since I saw it on her blog! They didn't even have anyone selling it in SC, so thanks for sharing Kelly !
