Yes Jeff , I'm super excited too....

 

[pc cock]

I could not imagine spending thousands of dollars and traveling anywhere for this. So overhyped.

 

[IrmoRed]

Cloudy in Summerville.

Cloudy in Summerville.

O, no....

 

[vehemon]

Work has completely stopped on my floor. Everyone's straining their necks to see out the window.

I figure if it's dark, that means I get to go have a beer.

 

[2001]

Are you talking about the ellipse...

 

[psmith5532]

OK...that was cool

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

That's it???

 

[Gradstudent]

Its dark out, quitting time!

 

[jeff2001]

That's it???

That's what she said

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

Its dark out, quitting time!

I think a lot of people called it quitting time after 9am today...

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

I enjoyed it.

 

[IrmoRed]

We didn't get to see it, but it was still cool to see. Summerville, Goose Creek, and N. Charleston got hosed.

 

[coolcock2001]

Watched from campus, very cool

 

[USCBatgirl21]

I took a video from the breakroom of it getting dark and then light again looking out toward the 77/26 interchange (we're 17 floors up). And got some video of totality, as well as a still shot.

Pretty darn amazing!

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

I like to thank the millions who came here and other places to watch 2 minutes of thrill...

My Visa and MasterCard stocks also thank you too....

We didn't see beads around the moon but a haze and streaks of light in Greenville.

 

[USCBatgirl21]

I did get to see the "diamond ring" effect.

 

[Quisp]

We got moon pies, eclipse chewing gum, Luna bars and free glasses here at work. Wasn't that impressive but it was an hour off so there's that.

 

[IrmoRed]

Btw, lightning started popping all around us because of the 12° drop in temperature.

By whom?

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

I need a nap after all this excitement leading up to the total eclipse...

 

[Art__Vandelay]

Decent here in Atlanta, but the videos from SC looked much cooler. The darkness in Columbia was very cool

 

[coolcock2001]

Don't have a link or anything but someone told me Marcus Mooney hit a homerun versus the Fireflies right before the eclipse. Pretty cool.

(Get it, Marcus Mooney??????)

That would have been an interesting phenomenon.

 

[DC-99]

I enjoyed it.

I concur.

I could not imagine spending thousands of dollars and traveling anywhere for this. So overhyped.

That's what I thought....and then I experienced it.

 

[USCBatgirl21]

Y'all need to check out the video Gamecock Football just posted on social media that shows the team watching the eclipse at the top of the South Upper. They started 2001 over the loud speakers at totality. I haven't found it on YouTube yet, or I'd post a link. But it's on the Gamecock Football Facebook page.

That reminds me of the time Joey PANKAKE hit a homerun on National PANCAKE Day

Thank you. So...who else thinks that a shot of totality will end up in our 2001 video this year?

 

[coolcock2001]

Didn't happen. Check the box score.

My bad. That's why I didn't come out and say this is true, only I heard it. I learned in journalism school not to go with something if you haven't personally corroborated

 

[Out of Conference]

It was awesome here in Greenville.

 

[jeff2001]

It was awesome here in Greenville.

I have to admit it was very cool.

 

[JGH 35]

It got cooler outside. It was nice. Can we have another one tomorrow?
