Tim Tebow Welcome To Columbia SC

http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/19096354/tim-tebow-homers-first-bat-minor-league-debut-class-columbia-fireflies
 
 
In his first appearance and first at-bat as a Firefly in Columbia, SC Former Florida Gator standout and Pro Football player Tim Tebow hits a two run homer. The FireFlies are glowing. It could've have stated any better for the season. A full house for the opening day game with celebrity Tim Tebow knocking one out of the park, will definitely help the ticket booth sales.
 
Congrats to Tem Tebow , the FireFlies and Columbia, SC.
There is a lot happening (in sports) in the city in such a short time.

Daruius Rucker Keeps His Word

 
Southern State Of Mind

Country singer and Gamecock alum. will keep his word to the Gamecock Nation. His promise to perform a concert if the football team won six games and get into a bowl will be fulfilled tonight. It looks like more than a sandstorm is brewing in the city but I don't think the students will mind. He has promised them a show and from what the word is there may be even more in-stored for them.

Update
What a fun night for Gamecock  fans.
 Thanks to Facebook, Instagram  and Twitter  there are plenty
of videos online to see and hear the great artist perform.
The atmosphere was electric inside of the Colonial Life Arena.
It was set up like real SEC football game at Williams Brice Stadium.

Thanks to a local Hero.

Carolina Gamecocks and Community Wins (Final Update)

December 2010
 
Not only are fans seeing excellent basketball coaching on Columbia, SC basketball floors they are also seeing a great community diplomat in action. With a basketball program setting new records almost every time they play, receiving national recognition for gigantic achievements and signing All-American prospects, Coach Dawn Staley also shows the community that there is more to her than calling plays. There is an outreach to the community that is infectious when around her. Dawn as well has her staff and players are heavily involved from helping kids to promoting small businesses that are under the radar.
USC and the community wins with Dawn.
 
Congratulations to a great hire six years ago.

Carolina Cup 2017



With the very first step onto the freshly cut grass, the world changes. I don’t know if its the crisp smell of open air or  because it has a hint of barbecue close by... or the fact that the day is going to be a carefree day but my mind is clear of all of last week’s struggles. Parachute troopers falling from the sky, jockeys dressed in authentic uniforms and pristine white tents for over a square mile steers the mind to party time.



If you have never attended the Carolina Cup in Camden South Carolina it will be worth it to seek tickets early for next year’s event. The six horses races aren’t just the reason to come. It much more than horse races. It takes you back to a time when interaction with real people on a large scale was the only way to find out what was going on in town. That’s right Camden is a town. You don’t here much about town anymore. But it may be good to have that small town back in you again. 

This is our group before the party began. Thanks to our man of the hour (Sammy 'Butch' Tucker ) Due to the sun and other activities
 there will be no pictures from the day ending.

 Jockeys before the races
.
 There is ample food under the tent.
 There are six races and six different courses



 There is enough room to be with or without others. It's a time just to enjoy the day.
