A friend of mine has an old bumper sticker that has never been used. It says Carolina Plays With A Loaded 38.
Does anyone know the story behind that bumper sticker?

What does this bumper sticker mean

- Start date
George Rogers wore #38, he was our loaded 38
Boy, I wish Carolina had a loaded 38 on the current team.
That is Big George Rogers. 1980 Heisman Trophy Winner. Wore #38.
I HAD one of those bumper stickers!! I was 11 at the time, and therefore had no car on which to put it. I don't know what ever became of it. I *may* have it packed away somewhere.
I've often thought that you could never get away with a slogan like that these days. Different times.

How much do you think he might be able to get for it on ebay? It sounds like it's a collector item.
Oh I get it. 38 like a 38 pistol. Today with all the mass murders that bumper sticker is offensive. Back then I guess people didn't know how bad guns really are.
You have to be kidding or know nothing about Carolina football. Well, excuse me you could be very young and don't remember the greatest Carolina player in the history Gamecock football, George W. Rogers whose number 38 was retired.

I am probably older than you. Next spring I will be 75 years young. I have met George and I still expect to see his mural on Blossom Street many years after it is gone away. I just didn't make the number connection and the gun connection.
I think it meant loaded on cocaine, actually
There is no foul on the play.I think it meant loaded on cocaine, actually
If that's what you remember about George Rogers and all that he did for the Carolina Gamecock football program, then just get the hell out of here!
Easy big fella. Apparently your remember it, too. I pass no judgement, but it’s a part of his history. I love Big George, warts and all.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Don't forget knives, baseball bats, cars, trucks, planes, poison and even hands to choke with.

I suspect people like you would've considered flintlocks "bad" also - of course, not when those "bad" guns were used to put food on your table or keep the injuns off your ass.
I don’t have a problem with the comment itself, my problem was the joke just didn’t work. It wasn’t funny.
You mean those injuns we stole land from and murdered when they realized the double cross?
I used to have the loaded .38 bumper sticker. Wish I still had it and the car it was attached to.
Anybody remember the old TV show Dallas? Was driving up in Anderson once and saw a Clemson bumpersticker that said "A Gamecock shot JR." I had to laugh at that one.

I bought the "You Can't Lick Our Cocks" sticker from one of the USC bookstores about 15 years ago. You can still get the edgy slogan stuff; they might not sell it at Russell House but it's gonna be out there. I'm sure the more risque stickers were never officially licensed/sanctioned by the University anyway
We're the Gamecocks...we'll always be the kings of funny stickers and slogans. The "Cocks" hat made by The Game is one of the bestsellers nationally every year.
Imagine being so lazy and unoriginal that you name yourself something like Tigers or Bulldogs

Yeah I think that's where I got it, SC Bookstore. Ps don't forget to say "old" law school now!
Evidently plastic drink bottles do too
