Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, Tiger and Gamecock and Bulldog and everyone else around the country.
This is one of the best weeks of the year – rivalry week and Thanksgiving all in one. The Tigers and the Gamecocks knock heads in Death Valley Saturday night, and the Tigers are overwhelming favorites to stick a thumb in the eye of the chickens.
I’ve almost felt sorry for them this week – Never Again sounds pathetic, their mascot is a cross-dressing chicken that takes showers in front of people, the entry music is from a 50-year old movie and they are too dumb to recognize that their slogan of “Spurs Up” means the chicken has died during a blood sport.
