So, once Sandstorm dies down, should we just throw the towels on the field?

[ChairForceCock]

Just kidding, just having a little fun with this. Go Gamecocks! I pull for you win or lose.

Hopefully we'll retire Sandstorm Saturday. It's time has passed. New coach. New era. Time to move on.

Playing Sandstorm after all those field goals is just embarrassing.

I love Sandstorm

 

[gcock5]

it they are all thrown in front of the entrance to the visitors locker room, so that clemson can't come out, will they have to forfeit?

Doesn't the taters play sand storm too.. Did we get it from them?

If I never hear Sandstorm again, it will be too soon.

I was in the student section in 2008 vs. LSU the first time they ever played it, and it was awesome. It was even more awesome when they played it during the 4th quarter vs. Ole Miss in 2009.

But it's 2015 going on 2016. Sandstorm isn't even "ours" anymore. Good riddance.

Pretty sure we were the first to ever play it. Definitely didn't get it from them.

I like it to start the game and MAYBE one or 2 more times but it's used WAY TOO MUCH

Agreed. VT doesn't play Enter Sandman for before every kickoff and every quarter.

Hmm, interesting Sand-song theme

Sandstorm can stay, but the rooster crowing needs to go.

I still like it, at the right times...

....field goals and/or down by 20 is not the right time.

No Coast Guard veteran I have ever known threw in the towel. Shameful. Bless the US Coast Guard

 

[motownchick]

I always assumed the white towels were a sign of surrender. Do they have another meaning?

 

[gamecockrealist]

Tired of Sandstorm and tired of the rooster crow.

Well thank you for the chuckle... it's better to laugh than cry.

 

[shorecock]

Both sandstorm and the rooster crowing are awesome! Come on guys, don't let this season drag you down. I'm really not pumping sunshine because we flat out suck right now. Those 2 things will find their place once again when we have something to be motivated about.

IMHO, the rooster crow is a lot better than the bells.

Clemson doesn't play it. It was released in 1999 and per Wikipedia:

"Sandstorm" appeared on the pilot episode of popular Showtime series Queer as Folk, which first aired on December 3, 2000"

It may be time to retire this six year "tradition".

A joke bubba, only a joke. I have three options at this point, the "sky is falling", "we still can beat Clemson to salvage a good year", or "let humor and beer be your guide". I choose option 3. I would choose option 2, but feel we are going to get a steady dose of Orth, which wasn't good enough against The Citadel. Just don't see it happening.

Yeah, the thread took on a life of its own, so I decided to just let it run.

I think you ripped sandstorm off of nc state. Too bad bob Fulton was one of a kind. Guy's voice was perfect and he effortlessly could tell related stories or bring in his color guy without it being awkward.

Just stay away from " kiss and hug the ones you love" and "rocking with the gamecocks"-
