Greatest Gamecock Moments Countdown

[orlandogamecock]

Your votes have been tallied! The wait is OVER!

I want to say thanks to all of you for your suggestions! This was a labor of love for my appreciation for our Gamecock Football team. We have the GREATEST FANS in college football!

Your favorite moments were widespread. Your Number 1's were even moreso. 9 different moments received at least one #1 vote.

Here's how the votes were tabulated:

Of course, the more votes the higher the ranking. However, #1 moments were counted as 2 votes (the normal vote & #1 selection) and were used in case of ties (and there were quite a few of those). So, if two Moments received 4 votes but one of those Moments also received a #1 vote, it ranked higher: 4 (1) over 4.

Once again, thanks to all the Gamecock Fans at The Spur & CockyTalk.com! Huge props to cockyhoskins for his permission & blessing in letting me use the CockyTalk archives!

Let the Countdown commence! Click on the link to see the moment!

[SteeleSpur]

Jasper,

That avtar is too much! lol

And who said Tommy Bowden is a bad coach. look at the way he's coaching Charlie Whitetrash in that picture.:lol:

[jaytda4th]

[Cuck Flemson]

Great idea Og!
Thank you for putting this together!

[uscnoklahoma]

I don't like the order but I didn't vote...yeah I know. But it is a great idea. I really wonder what number one is..based off of the demographics of this board though it would have to be one from the Spurrier or Holtz years.

It's 8 Days away, so that means it time for...

Bump :football:

[orlandogamecock]

No wonder this thread keeps sinking. With all the BM & EC stories, who has time for a Top Plays countdown?


Every time I come home from work & go on the computer, it's "this player got suspended" or "that player got arrested".
:oops::club:

Sorry, just blowing off steam. Forgive me. :bow:

[SangareeCrew]

Orlando, I feel your pain! Although it looks as if the Cook issue got overblown real quick, it does suck when every time you log on, something else happens!!!!

I'm ready for some football!!!! Sept 1 can't get here soon enough!!!!

[uscnoklahoma]

BTT for some good stuff.

[orlandogamecock]

I sent a PM to cockyhoskins concerning the link. It had worked earlier as I was compiling the list.

[ChucktwnLawCock]

i love this thread OG! thanks man

[Scattergun]

I sent a PM to cockyhoskins concerning the link. It had worked earlier as I was compiling the list.

that one has been down on the video page for months now... at least for me

[TalkingHead]

What a great game for Brewer, and a great day for us Gamecock fans.

[orlandogamecock]

I played it last week as I was compiling the list. It includes the TDs and the facemask incident where Brew tosses the OSU player over his shoulder in disgust.

I also emailed Sputicus. I don't know if any mod gods are working today or can even fix it.

Brewer is one of those players we will never forget.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

I loved that last touchdown where the OSU player gets the late hit and instead of getting all mad, Brewer just stands up, points at him as to say, We Own You!

[Scattergun]

this really passes the time until kickoff thanks!!!!!!

[U-Dub Gamecock]

A little snipit about that 2000 UGA game.. after the first drive (Where UGA went down and scored a TD).. Quincy Carter had just 4 completions.. and 5 INTS!! And then, the Dallas Cowboys drafted him.. Obviously, Jerry Jones did not watch the game

[ChucktwnLawCock]

Can we get #3 a day early?????

jk, but not really....

[orlandogamecock]

Patience.

[bleepbloop]

Did I mention I love this thread?

[bleepbloop]

Sorry for being a loud mouth in here, but that GA video is awesome. I could seriously watch those clips over and over and over again. That is sheer dominance on defense and some great hands. Wow, Just Wow.

Hopefully we can come up with lots of clips like that from this year.

[orlandogamecock]

Thanks for the compliments, bleep! That means alot to me. As I said, this was a labor of love for My Gamecocks and The Gamecock Fans!

[Lant]

[cockycrusader87]

BUMP and i can officially use this and know what it is

[Order 66]

I really think Quincy was coked up durring that game.

[morgan n' 7]

I really think Quincy was coked up durring that game. You kid, but I'm sure we have all heard the rumor he threw the game to pay a tab.

Truth is, he couldn't read the Zone Blitz and we kicked his @$$.

[orlandogamecock]

Only 3 Days left until we lay the a$$-whoopin' on the pups from La-La!

That was a big game...I remember being glued to the television on the edge of my seat that whole game. Certainly, was a big one and the look on Phil Fulmer's face...priceless.

[GamecockinBoulder]

Wow! I love that field goal, still gives me chills! Even though the game wasn't over, I really felt like we had it when it went through...still happy we did!

P.S. Orlando you are the man!

[USCMM]

Can someone write up an explanation for the #1...I was six years old at the time and don't remember it at all...I can see why it would get number#1 but what led up to the last second touchdown.

[MikeTheGamecock]

Early in the third qtr, we had a 17-7 lead. UGA with the passing of Eric Zier took the lead 21-17 in the 4th qtr. I think we got the ball with around three minutes left in the game. I don't remember the whole drive, but I seem to remember a short pass to TE Boomer Foster which turned into a big gain. We got inside the 5 yardline with under a minute left, and lost yards on a bothced play, but UGA was flagged for being offsides. That put us at the 1 or 2 yardline. Then Bennett scored with two seconds to go in the game.

[orlandogamecock]

A little something extra special for you guys:
