Even some bad marriages make 50 years.
The Gamecocks played Maryland. Dickie Harris was a senior and was a star nationally. He played defensive back and was also a punter or kick- off players. He lead the nation in punt returns or kick-off returns (I can't remember which). He also had a lot of interceptions. I don't know if he ranked nationally for that category or not.
Oh yeah, I keep up with technology as best as I can. Well let just say this, technology that is beneficial to me. LOL! I had to before I retired.
I saw my first game 64 years ago. East Stand. Sec 43 Row 17 Seat 8. Game time 8:15 vs Duke. Price $4.25. Hope we won do not remember.
My first college game was Army vs. Wake Forest at West Point. Brian Piccolo was playing for Wake. My first game at WB was Nebraska in '86? Hard to believe, but it ended with a Todd Ellis interception.
That was the last time we played Maryland on the gridiron. The ACC asked all members to honour the ACC football contracts with USC for 1971. And there have been no more contracts with Maryland ever since.
I'll bet Mississippi was a replacement for Maryland on the schedule.
I was at that LSU game in ‘73. We had that game halfway through the 4th qtr. Dang!
Was that the one that led to Majors being fired and replaced by Fulmer? I believe it went into OT. I was at that particular game.
I remember we scored two touchdowns very early but failed on either the XP or 2P conversion .. was a raucous environment for that time ...
Yes, Hank Campbell was on the team and made the stop on the 2 point conversion. The funny part about that was Hank Campbell was a walk on at the time. UT fans blamed Majors because a walk on made the stop, as if Majors could have done something about that.
Who was the player who guaranteed an upset over a favored opponent in a game he wasn't even going to play in due to injury? Was that also Campbell or was that somebody else?
My first game was on Big Thursday about 60 years ago.
My first game was in Columbia on November 2, 1963 to watch Carolina take on a winless Tulane team, 20 days before JFK was assassinated. Tulane won that game 20-7, their only win of the season. You would have thought THAT would have been a warning to me not to go to Carolina and become a Gamecock fan. But, I'm a slow learner. As the old adage goes: "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
I didn't attend that game but I remember it sadly to say. Here's the bad part, after Tulane won that then made Wake Forest have the longest losing streak in the nation. A few weeks after the Gamecocks lost to Tulane they then played WF and lost that game.
