Greatest non-football moment in Williams Brice history?

[hubbarjm]

I was at this game (South Carolina v Georgia) and was distinctly moved by the crowds reaction and felt it was the best moment non-sports related in Billy Brice history. Anyone have a different story that beats this?

(BTW its the reunion of a soldier with his fam on the field)




Sorry I don't know how to post the actual youtube clip into the posts like some of yall but there's the link.


I don't know if this is the right forum feel free to move it...

Here's your chance to learn how to do it from here on out.

First you click the little YouTube button. It will give you the [*YT] and [/*YT] tags. You will place the video ID between these tags. What is the video ID you say? Let's look at your link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUkKhRtk8VU is your video. Everything past the v= is the video ID. This is true for ALL youtube videos. Take the "kUkKhRtk8VU" part and put it between your YT tags, and your video will be embedded.

Now lets see some practical application! Edit your first post and embed the vid.

I do it a little differently, not that this matters, but:

I cut/paste the vid ID first, then highlight it, then click the youtube button. This puts the links around your vid id for you. Not that it matters, just . . . . the more you know, ya know?

Saw the Pope there when I was about 5... maybe not the 'greatest' in every sense of the word but definitely most 'historic' from a Willy-B perspective.

I could see how one can be touched in that situation though. Good for you.

To stay on topic... This may be my favorite moment all time at the Brice!

Mine is without question the Faith No More/Metallica/Guns 'n Roses concert at W-B!

I was also at that game and that was awesome, but my favorite non-football moment was the Promise Keepers event there, in 2000, I believe. My two sons and I went with other guys from my Church and thousands of other guys from all over the state. A fantastic, Spiritually uplifting experience for two days.

Grad68, I remember that too! Was that in 2000? That's incredible.

In 1987, Pope John Paul II, during a Papal visit to Columbia, spoke in front of 60,000 people at the stadium.[8]
On August 30, 1990, the Chicago Bears beat the Buffalo Bills 35–7 in an NFL preseason game.
Metallica and Guns N' Roses performed at the stadium during their co-headlining Guns N' Roses/Metallica Stadium Tour on September 7, 1992, with Faith No More as their opening act.
On September 23, 1992, Irish rock band U2 performed at Williams-Brice Stadium on the third leg of their Zoo TV Tour.[9]
On May 7, 1993, Paul McCartney and his band performed at Williams-Brice Stadium on the North American leg of The New World Tour.
In 1993, the stadium was the setting for The Program, a college football movie starring James Caan, Halle Berry, Omar Epps, Craig Sheffer, and Kristy Swanson. The stadium was also featured in overhead footage for the final scene in the 1998 football comedy, The Waterboy.
On September 25, 1994, British rock legends The Rolling Stones performed at Williams-Brice Stadium during the first leg of their Voodoo Lounge Tour.
In 1995, the Carolina Panthers of the NFL proposed Williams-Brice Stadium as their original home while their permanent stadium was under construction in Charlotte, North Carolina. However, athletic director Mike McGee nixed the idea when he noted that the Gamecocks should be the only major football team in town. Despite the overwhelmingly negative public reaction to his comments, McGee maintained that he was acting in the best interest of the Gamecocks.
October 12, 1996 Farm Aid A string of natural disasters in 1996, including a drought in the Great Plains and Hurricane Bertha in the Carolinas dealt substantial blows to family farm income and made it harder than ever for farmers to make a living from their land. Farm Aid coordinated a farmer to farmer haylift in which farmers from the Carolinas sent hay out to drought stricken farmers in Texas and Oklahoma. Farm Aid '96 was held in Columbia, South Carolina. As Farm Aid founder Willie Nelson stated at the news conference, "We are proud to hold Farm Aid '96 in Columbia, South Carolina, a region with a rich agricultural tradition and hard working men and women who struggle every day to make a living on the land. We hope this concert will remind the nation that we need to change the way we think about the food we eat and the people who grow it. It's important that we have someone there growing the food who cares for the land." The concert took place on October 12 and included Columbia's own Hootie and the Blowfish, the Beach Boys, Martina McBride, Grand Old Opry star John Conlee, and Jewel. Once again, TNN: The Nashville Network, televised the show.
In December 2007, Barack Obama attracted approximately 29,000 attendees to a presidential primary campaign stop. Also present was his wife Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey.

Best I have witnessed, the aforementioned military family reunited at the UGA game last year. Biggest ever, has to be the pope. He stopped in Miami, New Orleans, LA, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Francisco, Detroit, Monterrey, and Columbia. Like him or not he is the religious leader for a billion people worldwide and he chose to speak in Columbia over countless cities across the country, hell he chose it over Atlanta, which is just a few hours down the road, a state capital and much larger.

I saw him on the Horseshoe, that was pretty cool.

As for Williams Brice, Doolittle's Raiders. It was awesome to see the remaining members out there on the field. The Marine Silent Drill team was amazing as well. Never seen Billy Brice quieter.
