Pre-game

This was the calm before the storm - or at least I wished it had stormed, cooled things off. As it is, the Gamecocks lost 37-14 to the Crimson Tide, and the heat coupled with uncomfortable seating arrangements (don't ask - I don't blame the girl sitting next to us, but there's a point my politeness might run out) led to us leaving by halftime and watching the shockingly bad second half at home in the A/C.
