It was a huge deal when Under Armour signed with the Gamecocks. Fastest growing apparel company in a long time at that point, and every kid wanted their gear (not the cleats). I think Auburn, Texas Tech, and Maryland were the only other schools with it.
As with many things, they come to an end. Thanks for all the years 🥃
Unique part of Clemson baseball youth camps: Erik Bakich's program has the campers practice standing for the national anthem in the same specific, military-influenced way Bakich (son of a Vietnam vet, grandson of a WW2 vet) has his players do it before games

Just how nice will Williams-Brice Stadium be in comparison to others once the Williams-Brice Reimagined Project is complete?
Let's just say there will not be many stadiums nicer in the country, according to multiple contacts who should know.
I've lived in SC all my life and this is a story drilled into almost every South Carolinians head from childhood.
What I DIDN'T know until a few years ago was about the simultaneous battle at Breach Inlet (north end of Sullivan's, across from Isle of Palms), where Patriot artillery and sharpshooters fended off a much larger British force - almost 3x the number of Patriots.
The British were attempting an amphibious assault from what is today the Isle of Palms (the British called it "Long Island"....gross). Had they crossed, Fort Sullivan's palmetto logs wouldn't have helped against 2,000 British attackers coming in from the landward side.
The Patriots fought bravely against overwhelming odds to be sure, but South Carolina's ecosystem was once again the real MVP - palmetto logs for the fort, and the tide / current at Breach Inlet impeding the British, making them easy pickings for the Patriots on the north end of Sullivan's Island. The British were expecting only about 18 inches of water, but were instead faced with 7-8 feet at the inlet.
It's a super cool sidebar to the main story everyone here knows, and I'm surprised it isn't generally part of the main narrative.
British forces launch a full assault on Fort Sullivan, South Carolina.
The position does not fall as quickly as they would have pleased; British cannon fire bounces off the Patriot Fort, which is constructed of palmetto logs.
The British bullets cut down the militia flag, and
Irmo has talent across the board, but don't let Ethan Singletary get lost in the shuffle. He's smooth and fast according to @RobWilliamsGCP@ewentd1_@Irmo_Football

One of the most electric finishes in Clemson history. Would be a real shame if an underdog Tiger squad beat a heavy favorite Miami in October this year too 👀
