Which game is your "Stand Up" game every year?

For me it's Georgia. I watched the replay the other day and still had to stand LOL. The tension watching that game is off the charts for me. Over the years SC-GA has been a wildly entertaining matchup, with all kinds of crazy things happening; great games, great players! The best of southern football.

If I could watch only one Gamecock game a year, it'd be us v Georgia.

Clemson is a close second but those games haven't been that wild lately. Maybe the wide left game a few years ago- but otherwise decided outside of 5 minutes left. These UGA games seem to go to the wire- no lead is safe LOL.

Can't wait to do it all again!

All of them are for me at home. I'm a ramp rat. I would drive the people behind me crazy if I even tried to sit in my seat.

I stand up for most of them when watching at home. I will pace the floors if the game is close. I only sit down for an extended period of time if we have a sizable lead or we are way behind.

The smaller in-state schools, I probably only stand up when we score or make a big play.

Jawjee - without a doubt; Clemson's next. I simply can't sit down when we're playing either of those rascals. Oh, I suppose UTe is next - can't stand those one-tooth Hillbillies.

I agree with you guys about UGA and Clemson games, but Mizzu is also causing me a bit of heartburn.

Well, nothing compares to the anticipation of the Clemson game. Being at the end of the year puts it in a unique category as well. There's a line in A Christmas Story that says that Christmas is the day around which the entire kid-year revolves. For me, the Carolina-Clemson game is the event around which the entire sports-year revolves.

Having said that, there's something special about beating Georgia. Being early in the season, a victory over Georgia usually means that we're sitting there undefeated, having beaten a quality opponent, and still controlling our own destiny in the SEC and national championship race. Barring something really rare in the basketball and baseball seasons, it's usually my most anticipated sports event since, well, the Clemson game 9 months earlier.
