Damn, mojo. Watching Carolina for first time lose (or win for that matter) friggin' 11-10 would be tough to come back from.
When was the first time you saw the Gamecocks play at W-B?

Clemson GAME IN 1950. Got to see my hero Steve Wadiak tote the ball. Next to Rogers, greatest ballcarrier in USC history.
What’s more amazing is they saw him in practice everyday and didn’t know he was the better QB by far.lol
First I remember was in 1982. Richard Bell was the coach. We were trailing a small school late and my dad was so mad that we walked out with a bunch of others. If I recall, I think we might have come back (heard lots of cheering from the ramp). But I don't remember. Richmond?
Love that - the year of my birth. Glad to see we have a few people on here who can remember a lot of modern history.
Agree. Too bad we didn’t have message board posters to remind us “the coaches know more than you” back then.
I remember being at that game in college going “this is such Fing bad football”. Pretty sure the World Series was going on. Can’t believe I gave up watching the Braves play a World Series game to watch that....yes I know the Braves lost too.
1987 NC State- my brother was a freshman at USC and I was still a senior in High School. He clobbered them but I remember Todd Ellis taking a massive blindside hit- I thought he might be dead LOL.
Almost certain mine was against App State to open the ‘87 season. But I also remember a game against Duke and one against ECU very early on as well.
1981 season opener
According to google Wake Forest.
It’s not burnt into my memory as significantly as others, but I remember turning 5 a few weeks prior and one of my gifts was to get to go the game with my wicked cool aunt & uncle and their friends. I remember getting a hat and tailgating.

I was a sophomore at Wofford in 65 and we borrowed some guy's Nash Rambler and drove down to see Benny Galloway play in a freshman game. Growing up in Easley it wasn't hard to see a Clemson game but getting to Columbia was a different story.
First game was 1967, beat iowa state 34-3. Took my young boys to their first game when we scored 70 or so against Wichita state shockers. We've been to a bunch since.
9/16/78. Played #17 Kentucky. My dad's friend took me to the game. A 14-14 tie. Should have taken that as a microcosm of my future as a Gamecock fan. If I recollect, we then beat a ranked Georgia team but lost to Duke and then GA Tech beat us 6-3.
Go Cocks!!!!
Go Cocks!!!!
Thanks. I was a young teenager, and just couldn't remember. Solidly hooked in '83. Dad was a season ticket holder from 1983 to the early 2000's. Six great seats right on the 50 yard line. Those were fun times! Even went to a lot of out of town games. Nowadays, I just watch them on my big flat screen and eat shrimp and grits.
I was 11 and it was a huge deal for my family and some other friends to get tickets for the 1968 season opener against Duke. It was a night game at the stadium well before it was renamed Williams-Brice, I think. Duke had a really good quarterback named Leo Hart and a star back/receiver - Wes Chesson who went on to earn All-America honors in his career, to my knowledge. Tommy Suggs, in possibly his first varsity game, was the Cocks' sparkplug, along with RB Warren Muir and Fred Ziegler. Even then my eyesight was awful, but I still enjoyed the experience, squinting to see the action. Duke pulled out a 14-7 win, but I've remained a diehard Gamecock fan, no matter the sport, from approximately 1966 to this day.
Around 1976. We played Duke. My Dad had great seats. 45 yard line, about 30 rows up. We were across the aisle from the Duke fans. In those days, we gave the visitors some of the best seats in the house.
First game I remember going to was the 1977 home game against clemson. The game was regional televised by ABC and I think start time was either 3:30 or 4:30. I think South Carolina was losing at halftime 24-0 but took the lead in the forth quarter with the score being 27-24. clemson ended up scoring a touchdown on their last possession of the game with the final score ended at 31-27. South Carolina ended the regular season playing at Hawaii and lost that game.
'95 Kent State. Dad and uncle made an agreement before the game we'd leave early if we were ahead by a certain amount after the 3rd.
We left early
We left early
Sir, many of us treasure the memory of watching our first game at W-B. Plus, some of us attended that first game with family and / or friends that have since passed away, which makes it even more memorable.
Uhhhh, it is possible that I may have had a sip or two of Kentucky bourbon.
I just looked it up and it was actually October against Georgia. Oh well, I was close.

Close enough. LOL!
I thought about that it was 1992
I agree that may be why we got a few free beers from the Kentucky fans it had to be 1993.
