If we could have added the pregame military surprise, before the Georgia game, that would be my definite favorite! Ive never heard our stadium explode like that, awesome moment!

[Acockolypse Now]

Georgia.

Fantastic night.

[cack]

While the UGA game was great, and the others were equally awesome, Clowney's hit did more than just cause a fumble. It righted a wrong in the game, and sent shock waves across the WORLD.

P.S. The Clemson game wasn't really THAT great of a game until late.

Since I was able to vote for all of them at once. I choose all.

[2000grad]

Too many to narrow down to one.

First quarter of UGA game was the best quarter I think I have ever seen USC play.

The Outback Bowl was nuts from start to finish.

Clemson game...I never thought we would lose it for some reason.

This is such a tough of a question. I would say that Georgia was the Loudest I've ever heard that stadium a few different times. Not only the punt return, but just in general the feeling was that we own them. We beat them in every single aspect and played the most complete game in school history. The atmosphere that morning at the Horseshoe was incredible all the way up until the Alma Mater. The military surprise was amazing as well, just added to a great day!

Then you have "The HIT". Not only did it right a wrong, and change momentum. It was on a level like no other. It ran through the social media world. Twitter didn't stop for days, analysts couldn't stop showing it with smiles, and it took two weeks before Smith released a statement to try to brush off the hit. My neighbors came over cause they thought something was wrong we screamed so loud.

Then you have beat Clemson, Always a great moment. The strip of Bray to seal the game was a prayer answered on an emotional day! All the big plays, punt returns and interceptions made for an excellent highlight reel.

But to me, the moment that I've been waiting for my entire life as Gamecock fan was the Bruce touchdown catch to cap the victory in the bowl. Back to back 11 win seasons, back to back bowl victories, and finally a comeback win with that signature feel! To finally be on the winning end of a heartbreak game, to feel the rush of jubilation instead of defeat, to finally know that its our time, its GAMECOCKS time!! As a fan I've wanted to see that last second miracle happen for so long that it just made me cry a little to know that it was finally ours to have!

Man it feels good to be a GAMECOCK!!!!

[2000grad]

you need points...have some

[ElectricCock]

I wouldn't count "entire games" as moments, and I would also add Clowney's 4.5 sacks at Clemson (or at least that monster sack in the 4th qtr)

Man its so hard to pick just 1 moment. Before the Outback Bowl, I would have said DJ's Clemson hit, or DJ's Arky pick-6

But then the Outback bowl, you could definitely pick one of those 4th down conversions, Ace's punt return, Clowney's hit, or the winning TD.

Needless to say, we had a damn fine team this year

Same here... we should never lose to Clemson and I think everyone is finally understanding that... the players and fans

Pretty much sums it up. I was in the South end zone and the yelling continued for a good 30 seconds. My voice was gone before the end of the first quarter.

I can definitely relate with the feeling of contending for a NC... I had high hopes after that game.

If I remember correctly, I made it so you can vote for more than one (but ill check). If I didn't make this poll, this would be a very tough question!

[Cocklover]

Can't we have an option for All of the above...LOL

All of those were great moments!!!

[palanca]

The Georgia game was awesome, but over before the half.

Beating Clemson was great, but I expected it.

But honestly, I was afraid of Michigan, beaten mostly by the best, with an axe sharpened for the gimpy rooster.

I was a long way from Rock Hill, up in Connecticut, me and the missus, all alone in a rented little box we called home.

She's a Notre Dame fan, but accepts my stray-dog love for the gamecocks, and so we huddled up together to watch the Michigan game, my last game, not hers.

Well, let me tell you i fell into despair, disrepair and catatonic despondency as those damned Wolverthings was surging along,and then came that awful call, the worst case of official blindness ever, Spurrier freaking out, announcers befuddled, me having nothing to throw, figuring that this, THIS, is how it's gonna be.

Sigh...okay...

Skulking around, wondering what the defense, who MUST be TOTALLY demoralized, will do, WE GOTTA STOP 'EM, BOYS!!!

Gah...we're done...

And then it happened, as if the Almighty Himself got fed up, came the Clowney hit! All that was wrong was righted!

My wife and I jumped up, kicking back our chairs, threw our hands up high and jumped into each other's arms in a bone crushing embrace, dancing, not caring what our Connecticut neighbors thought about our shouts of Woo Hoo!

We knew then it was over for Michigan

No sir, no other, none of the above rescued my faith in my team like that singularity did, that big bang.

Haha, you can put a check for all of them!

[pantera17]

I loved the Clemson game. I mean when is that last time we torched Clemson thru the air like that. It was nice to finally have a passing game. All we heard was how they could throw the ball around at will. But we were the ones doing the throwing.

The DJs hit. Wow.

[sodacitynate]

Ace punt return for TD vs UGA. Was like a punch in the mouth to the bullfrogs.

[GamecockSuperVisor]

TD Pass to Ace at Meth Valley.

[SC Sandlapper]

Clowney sack of Bray at the end of the Tennessee game, because it turned what looked like a gut punch loss into a victory, because I was at that game, and because it helped get rid of that sick feeling in my stomach after watching the injury to Marcus.

[uscsandstorm85]

The Georgia game was the most fun I have had at a football game ever. Mainly because there were about 100 bulldog fans sitting above me in my section. Not all of them were this way, but the majority of them had their own smart A** comment to make going up to their seats, and each one had to eat their words coming back down.
