2000 Gamecock Flashback

This blog post and the accompanying audio were originally posted prior to the 2013 season

It was a new century and Lou Holtz and the Gamecocks were looking to beak the nation’s longest losing streak (21 games) and give the fans something to cheer about.

They did that and much more in 2000, starting the season with two goalpost-destroying victories, including a stunning win over ninth-ranked Georgia and interception throwing machine Quincy Carter.

We also had The Fade, Bodybag and the Great Arkansas Quarterback Massacre, and Ryan Brewer’s legendary Outback Bowl performance in place of the suspended and enigmatic Derek Watson.

We also had this load of crap.
