Rivalry Week.....not so much.

Well, it's that time of year again. The turkey bones will have been picked clean, no one will want to see cranberry or pumpkin spiced anything, for a while. It's the time when we truly get to hate, for a day, and then laud victory for a year, or in this case, 6 of them. There's wood smoke in the air in SC, and woodshed time for the Gamehens. It's time for all the brothers and sisters, who have children together, and every Carolinian who lacks dental insurance, to don their Garnet and Black, raid the liquor store for all the Mad Dog they can afford, and make their way to the "Roach" for some Doo Doo Ice, and to watch a real college FBS team play in Willie B. The pageantry of the "2001, a Foolsball Odessey", and the EF 0 Sandy Breeze will be the most excitement of the day, for the home team. Droves of "Homers" will be seen, by millions via ESecPN, leaving at half time, to crawl into a bottle, or a cup, or just back under the rocks from whence they came. Ebay and Craigslist will have a Black and Garnet Sunday, as Gamecock gear is divested at record volumes and the Cock-A-Booses will smell of BO,urine, Rot Gut liquor and tears, and echo with cries of "#### You, Chump" and "wait 'til 2020, Taters". And, I'm sure of this, there will be no chants by the conference loyalists of "SEC, SEC....." Cocky's limp beak will tremble with anticipation for the next “Has Been” to be ushered into a position to turn things around in Cootlumbia. 4 and 8 will make it another sad day…..year, in Muddville. Indeed! Gone are the days of "Fear The Thumb" and gone is the hope of parity in the state. As recruits jump ship like rats on the Titanic, Cocky finds his stool in the back corner of the College Football Basement amongst the cobwebs and dust, turns on his black and white TV, adjusts the rabbit ears and tinfoil, to watch his heroes go bowling.....only to realize, all the good games are on cable. Looks like it's "A Wonderful Life" again. GO TIGERS! CURB STOMP THE #####!
