Gamecock Players All Over the Place

[Carolina4Life]

You act like there some kind of celebrities LOL They are just people, but cool story indeed.

[garnetmike]

Hmmm... nevermind they are JUST NOW getting on the bus headed to Willy B.

We did breakfast and just fist bumped Connor Shaw. My girls are all smiling ear to ear. The Cocks are headed towards the stadium in moments.

Jealous of the players much. Ummm they actually ARE celebrities. Some more than others, but there is no question they are celebrities of some measure. By the way Connor is maybe 6'0 and a half an inch and small framed. Okay maybe medium framed. Nice guy though and some people did ask for photos.

We chilled and allowed them their time to chill. Most were already in headset mode...and couldn't hear the "good luck" wishes.

Cool nonetheless. My girls are already Tweeting and Facebooking it out.

Sounds like an exciting day for some hardcore Gamecock fans. Enjoy the game!

[DiamondGamecock]

The story is pretty neat, but at the same time, it is kind of creepy how your always where they are and eavesdropping on their conversations.

[uscgamecocks88]

Weird, but cool!

Go gamecocks!

[Carolina_Harv]

Wow seriously guys? Why is everyone picking at him? Guy has an amazing Gamecock moment and all you can do is give him a half hearted "cool story" and then find something to throw back at him.......Geez its never amazes me how cynical our fanbase can be sometimes!

Let the man have his moment. If I happen to be staying at the same hotel as the team I would be giddy as hell! Obviously he loves his team more then most and is having a great time knowing that he just got to meet some guys that will possibly be playing in the big league on Sunday's. Cut him some slack.

I never realized they stayed at a hotel for home games. Haha. Seems kinda silly. But I can see why they do it.

Well its alot easier to just go down the hallway to make sure each guy is on the bus to go to the stadium then rely on each one to make it from their home or dorm room to the bus. That and it allows the coaches to go over some things with the entire team the night before and have pre-game meal and what not.

Haha yeah i agree, i would probably do the same thing too! Weird and cool at the same time that he saw so many of the players in a short amount of time!

I mean what would you do if you saw a bunch of players at a hotel. I'd be pretty excited and try to talk to them, even if its like a "Go gamecocks!".

Heck, i was at Litchfield Beach a few years ago in August and Darrin Horn was at the restaurant. He wasn't the best coach ever, but cool to say you've stood next to and talked to a South Carolina basketball coach.

Exactly! I ran into Eric Norwood at the mall some years back and asked him if I could take a picture with him.....Dude is BIG! TV does him no justice his hands are huge! And he was cool with it. Most of these guys don't have that celebrity status attitude yet and I am sure at 18-21 they probably enjoy the attention from fans. Its something that is still relatively new to these guys and they get to enjoy it on a small scale.

I just hope he's not the type who obsesses over every little thing a coach/player does, knows more about each player than some members of their family, and is just creepily overbearing. Yeah, they're athletes for a major college, but I don't flip shit when I run into a Clemson player or coach anywhere.

Yea but some people thats the biggest star they may ever meet. The part about him eavesdropping I think yall are over exaggerating. They were talking outside his door. Don't know how long its been since most of you have staying a hotel but its pretty easy to hear people in the hallways sometimes. And just b/c you don't flip shit does not mean someone else might not.......The guy is just trying to share a cool story with everyone and all everyone wants to do is give him shit about it.......

You know what mike I think you shoulda just told the attendant at the desk when you checked in that you can't stay at the same hotel with the Gamecock players b/c members on Cockytalk would not approve of you being excited about this experience!

Yeah makes sense not to flip out when you see a clemsux player or coach.

You're foolish for even joking with Clowney. He could have snapped your spine out of pure instinct. JK.....cool story.

LMAO could totally see someone Farking this

[Garnet girl]

We do have some very nice guys. It is an impressive group. This is my first game ever inside a cockaboose. This is nice. Kids and spouses and significant others are inside. I could get spoiled by this, but I doubt I get the opportunity too many times.

Friend or coworker extend an invite?

[cockybynature]

I am sorry that as a so-called fan that I couldn't be there either, just couldnt afford these last few games. I guess I shouldn't be allowed to watch it on TV either, because unless your at the stadium your not a true fan huh. The story was good, but your cheap shit isnt. Just imagine how you would feel if the day before you had to go out and perform your best you had to deal with "fans" in your face. I would think the reason they go to a hotel is to get away from distractions.

And usually the people who get "caught up" in the negativity are the ones that keep it going. TRUE fans dont let ANYTHING like that affect them, at least the ones I know.

That's a little unfair to say. Some of us live out of state and aren't able to attend, but would if we could. I know I'd love to be at every game but that isn't possible for me.
