A Good Day to be a Gamecock Fan


A week ago, Winston got to take a ride with The Plylers to the land of garnet and black. It was Gamecock Fan Appreciation Day in Columbia and as it turned out, Winston and Hampton garnered quite a lot of attention and enjoyed a big day together.

They each chose these crazy garnet wigs as their special treat for the day - they wore them proudly to the event and got the attention of many....including Coach Spurrier! This picture cracks me up - Spurrier is grinning at
those two and their crazy hair!



They went as part of an early birthday celebration for Hampton; rumor has it, Cocky had advanced notice on Hamp's birthday and the boys had a private birthday moment with the big ole' rooster. Good Times for sure.

They made the online photo gallery of the State's newspaper with the 2 pictures below...with the wigs, there were several flashbulb mome
nts from USC staffers and news reporters.



They came home from a big day with lots of Gamecock memorabilia including a cool poster with freshly inked autographs of many of the football players and other fall sports athletes.

Even for us fairly "neutral" SC football fans, we might have tipped in the direction of the Cocks after this fun day!
