[ti]GameDay[/ti]UCONN v So. Carolina - 2/5/23 Noon - TV: FOX

Although the Gamecock has been the University of South Carolina's official symbol since 1902, Gamecock is to honor General Thomas Sumter, a Revolutionary War hero, who fought the British fiercely and was nicknamed "Fighting Gamecock"

But there was no official mascot until 1971.Instead, during the early years, fans would dress up in their own costumes during the games. Beginning in 1971, John Nelson, an undergraduate student, attended games in a Gamecock costume. This mascot was known as "The Rooster".

Cocky then became the name of costumed mascot of USC athletics teams. He represents a cartoon version of a gamecock. But a couple of years ago, much to the anger of many fans, the mascot was renamed “General,” ostensibly to honor Sumter.

We return 10 points from the national title game for this matchup.

Aaliyah Edwards - 8
Nika Muhl - 2

So, this is definitely a much different team.

right. I had to be very careful about the header 

South Carolina will be favored. Probably by 1 or 2 points. I am curious to know when was the last time UConn won a game as an underdog. Anyone know?

It’s S Carolina -4.5

In the shape we’re in, I hate to say I’d bet S Carolina -4.5 if I were a betting man.
Sorry.

I don’t think I can bet on Uconn in CT. I have sugar house.
I need to check again. .

Me the same. I'll be cheering without watching. Pulling a Rocky. Love your courage!

Based on the last couple of games at the XL, there is no public wifi and I can rarely get onto the board during the game. I was able to post just twice last game. And from the number of folks who have posted they won’t be watching for various reasons, the game thread might be light in activity.

Keep the faith. If crowd noise will have any effect, there will be a sell out crowd cheering for the Huskies. I will be yelling my heart out ( and probably my voice too).

I hope the crowd got the wear white message. UConn fans are not always good at following directions. As long as no UConn fans are wearing garnet red. That is unforgivable!

GO HUSKIES! I believe!

One hour before game time, and the traffic in Hartford is insane

For you folks up there, Massey has SC by 5 points, 67-62.  Probability  61%.
