I think it was built in 1934 and was originally named Carolina Stadium. It seated 17,600 old school Gamecock Fans!

[morgan n' 7™]

Raynard Brown...'85 vs. Pitt. We have it on tape here at Cockytalk. That's my guess. 80.0 yd avg. 1TD.

[USC_G]

Was that his only catch? if so I'm pretty sure the record only counts with mutiple catches (getting my info from Gamecock Archives)

[morgan n' 7™]

Was that his only catch? if so I'm pretty sure the record only counts with mutiple catches (getting my info from Gamecock Archives) Ah, crap. Yes, that was his only catch in that game. I was just going by memory. The question goes on. I don't know.

[trucheck]

Here is a good trivia question

We had two 1000 yard rushers, name both, who were we palying when both went over 1000 yards and the final score.

[USC_G]

you are correct sir, I now pass the question on to you

[Scranton Tiger]

Since 1975, Carolina has defeated the Tigers 8 times (75, 79, 84, 87, 92, 94, 96 and 01). Name the Cocks starting QB for each of these games.

[MikeTheGamecock]

Grantz, Harper, Hold, Ellis, Taneyhill (2), Petty

[Scranton Tiger]

I really thought I might get someone with the 84 game since Hold didn't start until late in the season. I bow in defeat to your college football knowledge. MikeTheGamecock, the floor is yours.

[Scranton Tiger]

Would someone else like to pose a trivia question in place of Mike?

Hmm...explain this then from the Furman website:

Prior to 1961, the baseball team was known as the "Hornets," the football team the "Hurricane," and the basketball team the "Paladins." First used by a Greenville sportswriter in the 1930s to describe Furman's basketball team, "Paladins" became the official nickname of all of the school's intercollegiate athletic teams following a vote of the student body on September 15, 1961.
