Tons of Gamecock and Tiger Stuff

South Carolina Raschel Throw

South Carolina Raschel Throw

I was thinking of some Gamecock stuff for me and some gifts for the holidays and I decided to go see what all is on our shopping network and I found a TON of stuff for Carolina, Clemson and probably most any college team.

With both schools playing tomorrow in the Palmetto Bowl and with both schools going to a bowl (Okay, I know one bowl is a little weightier than the other. I am truly tired of placating you damn Tigers.), I thought it would be a great time to share this with you.

I thought I would get this posted early. Even though the game is at 7:30p, who knows how early many of you will be pre-tailgating (or tailgaiting) with Bloody Marys flowing and tiger tails or chicken wings on the grill?

Oh, Gamecock fans, no chicken eggs on gameday - bad mojo. Duck yes, quail - okay, goose eggs, no - red feral feline meat, all day.

I provided a little rivalry video below, but first, check out all the cool fan stuff.

If you are already a Preferred Customer you may wish to simply click on the SHOP button to the right. If not, you will probably want to go to SHOP for Everything to learn more and then go SHOPping.

Okay Clemson fans, the video doesn't begin so, but it is fairly balanced. (Still placating.) I know you'd watch it even if not, because that's what this rivalry does to both fans.

Those Beguiling Tennis Geezers - The Older Kids, Still Kicking Ass

Father Time
I wrote this article several years ago while I was still heavily into tennis. I will be again as soon as my golf game drives me back on to the courts.

It deals with all we must deal with in friendly and not-so competition in all the sports and games we endeavor as we keep ourselves alive and more so, challenge ourselves.

Nonetheless, its about a few older (whatever that means) guys getting out there, being active and taking down a few unwise whippersnappers - Gotta love it.
The gentleman to the left, Father Time, usually shows up this time of year.

One can usually find him in cartoons, editorials and even some greeting cards.

Well, I'm accustomed to this and it truly doesn't remind me of much other than the coming new-year (which is wonderful), but then I stumbled upon the following picture along with the caption:

The Geezers Ready to Take a Few Kids Down

Many of you may remember being a freshman or sophomore on a high school or college team. You may could been in equal shape or possessed the same speed and agility as the seniors, but they probably had something you didn't - more experience, perhaps greater wisdom on the field or court of battle.
