It was great to hear that we will be playing out of town when the state fair is here. I think the state fair is neat, but I never liked the game traffic and lack of parking during the state fair.
I will always remember bringing my 4-H club cow to the state fair in 1976. I was 12y.o. I remember asking my dad what that huge building was. He said a football stadium. I did not believe him. I had only once before even been to a HS football stadium. I did watch some on TV but did not realize one could be that big. It only had one upper deck then, but it was just huge to a country boy from Warrenville.
That Saturday my dad came up to me right after I had just finished washing my cow, he said "come on, we are going to see a football game".
I went and saw the Gamecocks for the first time in my life. My dad had gotten us upper-level tickets. I thought it was so special going up that ramp. If I did not love the team so much, I would hate that ramp now. Ole Miss was ranked #16 that game. We beat them 10-7 and I became a permanent SC fan.
Just glad I do not have to deal with the fair this year. Hope some possible future fan does not miss his only chance this year.
