Why someone could be a Gamecock

With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy...

If the best season your school has ever had involves a loss to Navy, you could be a Gamecock.

If your rival has a 30+ winning advantage in the series and you STILL think your program is on more solid ground, you could be a Gamecock.

If your program can take two coaches that won national champions elsewhere (Dietzel and Holtz) and turn them into losers, you could be a Gamecock.

If the ancient past begins right after a loss, you could be a Gamecock.

If you can argue that your team is much better than your rival's ten ways to Sunday in every category but the score (and believe it), you may be a Gamecock.

If you borrowed your entrance song from a movie and borrowed your fog-filled run onto the field from another program, and have the audacity to claim yourself as the REAL USC, you could be a Gamecock.

If you can't say "Steve Spurrier" without bowing you head in awe of the greatness that is the man, you could be a Gamecock.

If someone substitued Steve Spurrier with Chuck Norris in the hilarious thread making the rounds, and you said "now THAT makes much more sense," you could be a Gamecock.

If you think the old Bill Braskey skit on SNL was based on Steve Spurrier, you could be a Gamecock.

If you think Lou Holtz is a great college football analyst and is putting Mark May and Rece Davis to shame, you could be a Gamecock.

If you think that your ex-coach leaving five separate programs on probation "isn't really a trend - just coincidental," you could be a Gamecock.

If you consider a two-year run of bowl victories the "glory years," you could be a Gamecock.

If your team ranks 16th in all time losses nation-wide and you still think you have a "storied program," you could be a Gamecock.

If you continually argue how good your conference is when you have done nothing to contribute to its well-deserved reputation, you could be a Gamecock.

If you argue how weak the ACC is even when you have an all-time winning record against only one of the teams, you could be a Gamecock.

If the score of a game is only one of five indicators you use to decide who has the better team, behind conference affiliation, your coach's past success, the number of fans you put in the stands, and where you rank
in recruiting, you could be a Gamecock.

If you fight song is appropriately titled "Step to the Rear," you could be a Gamecock.

If you can't spell SEC, you could be a Gamecock.

If your first bowl win EVER came in the era of corporate sponsorship and was named after an auto parts store and wasn't named simply after a fruit, a fabric, a sweetener or a flower, you could be a Gamecock.

If you never grow tired of saying "wait til next year," you could be a Gamecock.
