I like your cheek tattoo… I’m assuming it’s henna, and will wash off… but is it an avant garde take off on the ebola virus?

I’ve heard that methamphetamine users use henna tattoos to hide needle marks…. is that true?

Denny: In my family, a man has only to look at a woman and she’s pregnant.

Rita: That’s because you’re all so cockeyed.

Liz, your enthusiasm sends chills up and down my spine… and
“My source says..” — too much time hanging around Will?

I can still see the man in black walking up and down the sidelines smoking a cigarette. My blood runneth garnet.

GAHHH! This just got me WAY too excited! Being originally from a non-college football town in California I try to explain to family and friends back home what (the real) USC football is like. I can’t explain it; they need to see for themselves. And they are always FLOORED by how this city shuts down and livens up all at the same time. It is truly the best! Fantastic article, Liz!

What is the chicken jumping around in the cage all about? I’ve never gotten a straight answer about that one. I always hear something about black magic, then nobody seems to know anymore. Seriously..whats the story?

Yes, Black MAGIC…magic, by definition, is mysterious and unexplained. So no, no one can’t explain it to you.

Wasn’t he the coach who dropped dead while screwing a cheerleader in her apartment and was hauled back by an assistant coach naked and stuffed into a car trunk back to the stadium and thrown into a shower where he was “found” by the same assistant coach?

Wrong coach. And this tryst didn’t kill him.

Forecast for next Thursday, 92 degrees and partly cloudy. In other words, it’s going to be hot as fuck and sunny at game time.

Finally, a welcomed diversion on this site. I’m also excited about the upcoming season but my blood runneth orange. Both S.C. and Clemson have interesting openers. All the signs are pointing to a Gamecock win to kick things off…probably by at least a couple of touchdowns.

I share a home with a Clemson fan! It’s not easy – but right now we’re just both excited that college football is about to return :) Thanks for reading!

Probably not any easier for them, either.

Our offensive line is alive and well and Mike Davis runs all over A&M. Gamecocks by 17.

even being a carolina fan doesnt really redeem you in my opinion. instead of some celebrity-themed national media agenda article, with the faithful commissar approved talking points, you tried the ultimate ingratiating maneuver: invoke sports to draw mainstream,non-controversial audience. transparent. (also sad that as a professional person you need to exploit “amateur athletics” for your own profit.) the fact that you claim to be the “No.1 gamecock football fan…ever” is not only insulting to the true gamecock fans ranked above you, but totally factually incorrect and blatantly pandering- in other words its a cheap way to wrap yourself in the flag. infact, any real gamecock fans know there’s always someone out there even more obssessed than themselves. i know because as big of a gamecock fan as i am, i KNOW there are people who live and die on the resultsof it more than me, who reprogram their hopes and dreams every year, knowing tht if we can win the sec, we canplay to win the nationa championship, the utimate no.1 gamecock fan aspiration, AND TOTALLY BELIEVE IT WITH ALL FIBRE OF THEIR BEING every yea over and over until we finally lose that first game of the season and their dreams are smashed and shattered all over again and it takes at least a couple weeks before they even start to recover.no.1 fan? you didnt mention even winning the sec much less the natl championship- instead you predict a tough game vs VANDERBILT LOL LMFAO!!! no.1 gamecock football fan ever? really? please remove that tagline off your bio SO WAIT A MINUTE, the no.1 gamecock football fan ever is also a “fashionista (which is a trendy take-off on communist factional designatons) and food snob?” oh and nice battered housewife reference. comparing following football to the plight of abused women is a very clever way to get your point across. was that supposed to an inside joke with with will folks? if so, hilarious.

Gee, I had no idea there was a fan ranking system…do you mind sharing that? If you’re such a fan you might remember that we lost to Tennessee last year…unranked, terrible, Tennessee. We play Vandy on the road this year and they have been giving us quite a game the last several years.(2 of which we lost, mind you) For your information – not that it should concern you as much as it obviously does – I didn’t write that about myself. My bio was created based on observations about my interests…things I write about, tweet about, photograph, etc. Perhaps you have heard of hyperbole? I am sorry it bothers you that I have such varied interests…but I’m glad you thought my comparison was “hilarious”. You seriously need to lighten up, dude…or dudette I’m guessing.

Yikes. Is that kind of nasty hatred really necessary? There are bigger things going on in the world to hate; not berating a fellow Gamecock fan. Don’t read her articles if you don’t like them. Instead of trying to make everyone else as miserable as you are, do yourself and mankind a favor and go get intense therapy.

oh Ira please learn to fucking spell before you begin your ‘educated’ rant..you are the typical fan who can’t name a player, recall a score, and sure as fuck doesn’t buy season tickets. Stay home and jam another cheap six pack down you overweight and oversensitive ass..good article Liz

Ha! Well I tend to to disagree, although he is the not the source I’m referring to.
