2001 Space Odyssey intro

When I was talking to South Carolina fans tailgating before the game, nearly every one of them said something along the lines of “Just wait until you hear our intro.”

The Gamecocks run out to the theme of 2001: A Space Odyssey, and believe me, it got hype, despite its awkward prelude.
A painfully fake -huggish band leader tried to pump up the crowd: “It’s time to shake this stadium,” he yelled.

Though he was pathetic, the team’s entrance was anything but. I got chills as both teams took off at the same time. The best part though could have been the “C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A” flag-bearers trying to run through N.C. State’s football team. Let’s just say the “L” got laid out.

GAMEDAY 9/6: How to win by 24 points and drop in the polls « Curveballs for Jesus September 5th, 2008 at 4:20 pm

[…] #24 South Carolina @ Vanderbilt - This game is already over because I didn’t get this out on time. Sorry I didn’t get this posted sooner, and you have to miss out on my usual snarky comments about Steve Spurrier and the Commodores. Oh, what the heck, I will do it anyway. How ’bout them ‘Dores? WOW, I can’t believe they picked off South Carolina. That is two consecutive victories over South Carolina for Vandy, and they remain undefeated in 2008. Every time a scoreboard clock ticks zero, another team’s fans die a little inside each time, and this time those souls just happen to belong to huge 2001: A Space Odyssey fans. You know, every time I hear that song I think of those goofy grocery store commercials that used to play this. See that huge turkey? - IT’S SO DRAMATIC! With South Carolina losing this game 24-17, you may be thinking, “Patrick, how in the world did a team with only 225 yards of total offense, which was 100 less than South Carolina, actually win this game?” The answer to that question is easy, mah friends: TURNOVERS. Just ask UCLA what happens when you have interceptions/fumbles. Oh wait, WHAT!?!? Tennessee didn’t capitalize on all those interceptions in the first half? They only scored fourteen points? Excuse me while I go throw myself out of my apartment window. […]
