Favorite win of the Sparky Woods era (his only win over Clem excluded)?
- Thread starter Rod Dangerfield
- Start date
'92 UT game. Hank Campbell stops 2 pt. conversion
What the heck, let's watch em both! (endings)
Wow it was great to hear bob Fulton
Hard call, I'll go with 92 Tennessee game. The stop of the 2 point conversion by Hank Campbell was right in front of me in Section 9. The movie The Program was filmed at halftime, just an exciting game and day for Carolina football.
Larry Munson: "Brandon Bennett, that great athlete, dove over the pile....and broke our hearts....with two seconds to go!"
I think that is the infamous Liz McMIllian screaming after the 93' Georgia win on the Bob Fulton call.
There were so many great wins of the Sparky era that I'm having a hard time picking a favorite.
Rod is correct and pointing out in 1989 Brandon Bennett was in High School. Brandon Bennett jumped over the top in 1993 in Athens from a Tanneyhill hand off.
Rod's initial post was on 1989 game at Athens, please pay attention to his posts as closely as I do
1989, South Carolina won 24-20
First-year coach Sparky Woods brought his 2-1-1 South Carolina Gamecocks to Athens to meet the 23rd ranked, 2-0 Georgia Bulldogs of coach Ray Goff . South Carolina got 10 points off of Georgia turnovers in the 3rd quarter & held on in a steady drizzle for a 24-20 win over the Bulldogs.
Georgia outgained South Carolina 292-233 but 3 Bulldogs' turnovers spelled the difference. South Carolina jumped to a lead in the 1st quarter when RB Mike Dingle scored on a 5-yard touchdown run & QB Todd Ellis threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to WR George Rush giving the Gamecocks a 14-0 lead.
Georgia got a 45-yard field goal from PK John Kasay but still trailed 14-3 entering the 2nd quarter. The Bulldogs took over in the 2nd quarter with a 10-yard touchdown run by RB Rodney Hampton & a 6-yard touchdown pass from QB Greg Talley to WR Sean Hummings giving the Bulldogs a 17-14 halftime lead.
The Gamecocks took advantage of a fumble & interception in the 3rd quarter to set-up scores. South Carolina's PK Collin Mackie hit a 40-yard field goal & Ellis threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to WR Carl Platt as the Gamecocks took a 24-17 lead into the final quarter.
Georgia managed only a 27-yard field goal from Kasay in the final quarter & South Carolina secured the upset.

Anyone remember Jan Kemp? We never beat UGA fair and square and that's who they blamed that one on.

Looks like she passed away, this Jan Kemp?
Kemp's suit fostered academic reform
Jan 8, 2009
who was fired after publicly criticizing the university for
allowing athletes who failed remedial classes to continue playing
sports and stay in school, has died. She was 59.
Kemp's lawsuit to get reinstated led to sweeping reforms at UGA
and helped lead to tougher academic standards for athletes
nationwide.
Her 26-year-old son, Will Kemp, said his mother was pronounced
dead Thursday at an Athens nursing home of complications from
Alzheimer's disease. He described his mother as a person who wanted
to cure injustice.
"My mom didn't do it for the attention," he said about her
battle against the state university, where he is currently
enrolled. "It was in her nature. If she saw something unfair, she
would always handle it."
Kemp was fired from the university in 1982. She sued in federal
court the following year, claiming she was targeted because she
protested UGA's preferential treatment of athletes. The jury
awarded her $2.57 million in 1986, though that was later reduced to
$1.08 million.
Kemp was reinstated.
Before the Kemp case, athletes with SAT scores that reflected
little academic prowess were routinely admitted to Georgia. Today,
all NCAA schools must adhere to standards on test scores,
grade-point averages and the type of courses taken in high school.
"I love the University of Georgia. I love the years I've worked
there, and I'm looking forward to returning," she told The
Associated Press in May 1986.
But the shake-up made Kemp a pariah, especially among football
fans.
A newspaper columnist once wrote Kemp should be "the next
teacher in space" -- not long after Christa McAuliffe, an elementary school teacher chosen by NASA's Teacher in Space Project,
died in the shuttle Challenger explosion.
Kemp, a former English teacher, retired from the university on
disability after suffering a back injury from a car accident in 1990. Will
Kemp said his mother moved into a nursing home two years ago.
Please don't ruin an awesome clip by putting her in it.
Please pay closer attention. This is summed up in post #18 by my protege.
Maybe this is from 1989 Georgia game? Did we wear the whites?
That's it! Bingo! Solid find. Only year I've been on this earth where neither "Gamecocks" nor "Carolina" were on the front of the jersey.
That no Carolina and no Gamecocks is truly odd looking, I think Sparky is thinking about #33, "Corey will you ever shut up".

I gotta go with the '93 Georgia game. At that time, it was the most exciting finish to a big game I'd ever seen/heard as a Gamecock football fan.
