Hi,

We are looking for a place to park for the Texas A&M game this weekend. I’ve heard CLA arena then take a shuttle is the cheapest/easiest, can anyone confirm that? If so is there a certain address to get me to a good parking lot?

Also what should we do before the game for a couple of hours? Going with family but all adults. The earliest we can get there is around 5pm so we don’t have a ton of time before kickoff.

Thanks!

Howdy,

Me and some buddies are flying in for the game and we were wondering what the tailgate scene looks like. Also what are some bars we should check out while in town and how much are y’all’s stadium beers?

Thanks and gig em.

It makes me wonder why they never play them in football since they still play North Carolina every few years. Why not Duke Blue Devils as well? That's an old-school ACC rivalry just like Tar Heels.

Any easy gen ed recommendations?

How quickly does the lot fill up? This is my first game without season tickets/a reserved spot, so I wasn’t sure how early to get there.

I saw the gates open 6 hours before kick, but if my wife and I were to get there say, 3 hours before, are there normally still spots left?

Title. Anywhere to get free printing on campus?

I made this comment before the season started about our potential ceiling. Thought about it the other day so I went back to reread it...look at some of the points I made bold below:

Game by game:

Old Dominion - W

@ Kentucky - W, Kentucky looks stout on the line of scrimmage, but they've got a lot of offensive question marks of their own. Sellers shakes the stress of his first SEC start on the road and the whole team gains some confidence here.

LSU - W, LSU loses their Heisman QB and lacks experience across a lot of their roster. Home field advantage gets this one done in a close game.

Akron - W

(BYE WEEK prior) Ole Miss - L, I'm not saying that this will be the game it happens, but we're going to drop a game at some point. It's the SEC. Ole Miss is loaded with talent and even if we come in 4-0, we'll be an underdog.

What's the one game that you would say we 'dropped' and under-performed? Ole Miss without a doubt.

@ Alabama - W, head coach's first year in the SEC I think they'll drop their fair share of games this year. They're loaded with talent, but also lose a lot of all-conference and all-american players.

@ Oklahoma - W, I think Oklahoma may be the most overrated team in the conference based on analyst projections.

So up to this point I'm only off by two games we've lost by five points. Now for the rest of the season.

(BYE WEEK prior) Texas A&M - W, again, another team with lots of question marks. They could be a wild card type of team and pan out really well, but we're doing a 'best case scenario' drill here, so lets say that doesn't happen. We come off the bye week and get this W by more than a TD.

@ Vanderbilt - W

Missouri - W, I won't say that Missouri is overrated because I do think they're a talented team, but I think they're too high on the preseason polls. They lose a lot of the defensive side (5 NFL draft picks rounds 1,2,3,5,5). They lose 4 all-americans/5 first team SEC players. They also had a lot of things bounce their way last year, so I do think they regress from their performance last year.

Wofford - W

@ Clemson - W, I don't see this being the year Clemson bounces back into a top tier team. I'm not high on their offense at all, in fact it might be downright atrocious. I think we take this one this year.

Clemson looks like they're coming along, so this might be my worst prediction of any team. Now for the finale...

I think 11-1 is our best case scenario and that's good enough to get us into the SEC title game and the playoffs. More realistically, even with things clicking really well, we will likely still drop 1-3 more, so let's say 9-3 is a far more achievable goal (losses to Ole Miss, LSU, and Alabama) which would define an excellent season and potentially have us vying for a playoff spot.

You heard it here first guys and gals. 9-3 with losses to Ole Miss, LSU, and Alabama.

I wanna do all sports. Mine is Dawn, George Rogers, and 2 others I can’t decide. I want one from either basketball team and baseball

Is anyone else surprised by this?

Basically the title. Been to plenty of games but never have organized my own tailgate before. Wanna make sure spots don’t run out.

Thanks for the help!

If we thrash - not just beat, dominate - all other teams in our schedule (Obviously, Tamu and Clemson, but also Mizzou since they got ranked 25th somehow after not scoring one single point against Alabama), what're the chances we get a shot at a #12 ranking and playoff chance?

Give it to me straight.

Basically the title. After speaking with my dad over the weekend we decided to get 4 season tickets for the Baseball season, our first time getting season tickets. I’m a little confused about how the process works.

I know I have to put a deposit down, then when seat selections open I can select the actual seats. Some time in December.

I went ahead and got the Century Gamecock Club Membership.

When I went to put deposits down from thegamecockclub.com it took me to fevo-enterprises.com which showed that the deposit would be $50 per ticket. Since I have never done it before I decided to wait and call the ticket office this morning.

When I called the ticket office they said the deposit for baseball season tickets is $305 per ticket not $50?

Obviously I know I’m going to be paying that regardless because that’s the ticket price, just wasn’t planning on it at this exact moment. Guess the question is why is there a discrepancy between online and over the phone, and which is the better way to go for a first time season ticket buyer?

If the band can raise it's own funds - $650,000. USC is not paying for it. The band's budget only covers sporting events, mainly football. About half has been raised so far for the trip to NYC. WTF? It's embarrassing that the university won't pony up.

Greetings! I'm here to ask for recommendations for attending a game at Williams Brice. My mother, who's nearly 70, is a die hard Gamecock her whole life but only gets to attend about 1 game a decade. So we've got her Mizzou tickets for Christmas.

My question is, what's the best way to handle parking? Is there any way to get something fairly close for not a fortune?

We'll be on visitor side, upper deck. What lot would be most appropriate?

Thanks for any suggestions. I really hope we're both ranked in a few weeks.

I LOVE listening to our band songs. It’s my go to workout playlist

Hi, I’m super confused by the website explanation of how to apply/deadlines. It says the HC deadline is 11/15, but do you have to have submitted the regular app by 10/15 EA deadline? I want to apply but missed the crazy-early EA deadline!

How’re we feeling about this upcoming game now? I’m among the lot of us who agree that we would’ve beaten LSU if not for our shitty ass refs in that game. BUT Texas A&M beat them in a far more convincing fashion it seems like. Whereas we would’ve only beat them if the points from our 100 yard pick six weren’t called back.

I'm a little scared ngl

Reed is lighting up LSU currently. If they kept Weigman in I think we would have a very good shot but with how mobile Reed has been, I'm getting more worried. Hopefully our Defense keeps the pressure on and opens up some opportunities for Sellers and the Offense.
