Bama Bound

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year.

I spent a lot of time in the car yesterday in a 300 mile trek to Birmingham, Alabama. I went to see my USC Gamecocks take on UCONN at the PapaJohn.com Bowl. Wow what a ride. Not a lot to look at in Bama that's for sure. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot to look at on the football field either. The Gamecocks lost 20 to 7. Scoring their lone TD in the final minutes. It was a pathetic excuse for a game on our part. I froze my arse off in the 30 degree temps. Over 30,000 plus Gamecocks showed up and packed Legion Stadium only to be disappointed by our team. Did they care? I don't think so. Did they want it? Not really.

UCONN ate us up. Congrats to them for an incredibly well played game. Well deserved win on their part. They cared, and they were ready.

I must say I was only a little upset about the loss initially. You saw it coming within the first couple plays of the game. But, when I hear stories about our players getting drunk on their first night in Birmingham and saying I don't give a shit about this game and the rest of you shouldn't either, it made my blood boil. I traveled 600 miles overall, and you bastards didn't care! You deserve a good ass kicking. Too many dropped balls, awful play calling, I mean geezz. Don't blame the cold either, because those UCONN boys were out there without sleeves catching everything thrown at them. I know Steve Spurrier isn't the best coach out there when it comes to believing in his players and standing behind them, but don't play hard for him, play hard for the fans who do believe in you. If I keep hearing about this not giving a shit attitude then I certainly won't be giving my money to watch you boys play again. If you don't give a shit why are you there, and why should I watch you play?

Anyway, I enjoyed my trip to Alabama to an extent because I had never been there. However this post will never begin to show the anger I have about this piss poor football game. I'm a Gamecock through and through, and damn it we deserved better than that!

Ok on to some pictures.My mani was Ruby Pumps on all fingers and Goth on my ring finger with USC decals.

All of us Gamecocks heading out of Birmingham. The traffic was awful. They weren't ready for us.
