“Southern football is why my grandmother spent fall Saturday’s in orange capris, blue reebok classics and alligator jewelry and had a football card of Danny Wuerffel taped to her dresser. It’s the same reason why my mom can’t watch the fourth quarter, my dad won’t watch the first quarter and my uncle and his two sons have walked around Valdosta, Georgia with a little more pep in their step since December 7th, 2002.”

—B.J. Bennett, Down Here I

To put things in perspective for you gamecock fans out there. 11 years after yall started playing football (1892) the Wright brothers were the first men to fly. Soak that in first. 

We landed a man on the moon before you won your ONE AND ONLY conference championship in 1969. Have a nice day.

If you’re happy with good enough, then good enough is what you’ll be. Greatness requires the expectation of excellence.
