Congratulations LSU!
Posted by Mecklenburg Cock on 10/20/08 at 10:09 am
Hey folks, I haven't seen where any other Carolina fans have come on and posted a thread like this......I just wanted to congratulate you all on a great win Saturday night.
A couple of observations:
1. I had a good time talking with the LSU folks before the game. As I told the guys I was talki...

I read this story this morning and had to call my dad. This story mirrors the reason why my dad, born in South Carolina and growing up in Eastern North Carolina is an LSU fan. After my dad read the Doug's story this morning he sent this email to him (hope you enjoy!):
"Hello, Doug. My name is ...

You can also get Packman on 1400 The Fan in Columbia once you get to town (Of course, 107.5 is still the better of the two for general Gamecock Talk. Plus their gameday coverage is solid).
If you're not familiar with him he does a Southern Fried Football tour during the season. Last year he mad...
re: Tips for Tiger Fans on there way to Columbia

FYI, here's little dose of what you can expect traffic wise Saturday. The fair really makes for a lot of headaches on gamedays. Plan to get there early and stay late. Otherwise, you'll just sit in traffic, 20 feet away from your tailgate spot wishing you had just stayed parked for another hour or...
re: Place to watch LSU/SC game in Charlotte, NC?

One of the local Sports personalities up here, Chuck Howard, just opened Lake Norman Bar and Grille up on the lake, but he's also a Gamecock. Nevertheless, he apparently has a ton of TVs and I'm sure our game will take priority over the others.
As for other spots......Might try Angry Ales on Mon...

I'm confident the visor will get tossed. If he can get that headset off fast enough you know it'll fly at somepoint. :dude:
Y'all have a good time. With my dad being an LSU fan I've been looking forward to this game for a while.
The LSU crew we tailgated with in Baton Rouge back in 2002 wa...

goinallout, if Green's doesn't work you can also get both beer and liquor at the DDB (Discount Beverage) on the corner of Beltline and Rosewood. They have separate sides for the beer and liquor but it's near the stadium as Rosewood will take you straight down to the fairgrounds.

Icansee4miles, I hate to post this in fear of someone finally cracking down on this, but there are no pat down police. As long as you put it in a good spot you're safe....
re: This game is huge
Posted by Mecklenburg Cock on 10/16/08 at 9:41 am
This game is definitely huge for both sides. You guys have so much talent, but at this point seem to be young and without any proven leaders on both sides of the ball. This game will go a long way to show the type of character LSU has.
On our end, we have momentum after two come from behind win...

^^That's pretty legit. Cook came in as a fast WR, but given his size was moved to TE....

The Clarion is a good spot. You're right, it's right across from campus and is right in the middle between Five Points and the Vista. If you're staying there you'll be fine....

^^The area is fine. However, from where you're coming from it's kind of out of the way.
My biggest problem with Columbiana Mall is traffic. However, there's some good places to eat and the mall is pretty good.
It'll be about a 15-20 minute drive to the stadium from there which also mean ...

LSUhumbleFAN, you might check in with the Country Inn and Suites. It's right off of I77 at Sumter Highway/Garners Ferry Road. There are actually a couple of hotels there that are perfectly safe (I've stayed in both for weddings and other various events). Plus, Rush's is a block or down the road (...

Just wanted to post a quick reply and add a few thoughts.
First, have a safe trip and please enjoy yourselves!
Second, with the fair being in town and the game being at 8 I would say you probably should head to the stadium area no later than 3, but most likely if you leave 2 you should be fine...

This'll add new meaning to our match up with Arky if Tammy goes there.
Nothing like following in Danny Ford's footsteps!...

I loved it! For the same reason I've grown to love Spurrier I have the same appreciation for Miles. He doesn't come in and try to be political-he says what's on his mind and he doesn't sugarcoat it....

re: 3 reasons SOS would be interested in LSU

Charlotte's Charlotte. You know how that goes. Lots of transplant yankees and lots of ACC talk. I grew up here, so it's probably par for the course. Would much rather be down in Colatown. Cola still has that Down South feel whereas Charlotte has lost a lot of that.
I've gotten a good laugh o...
