Remember that time we beat Georgia?

Less than 60 hours after the clock hit 00:00 in Athens, this arrives in my mailbox...

Postcard front

Postcard back

Some cynics are asking why the Gamecock Club is spending money on this instead of sending our band to LSU. Others are dismissing the mailing as another plea for cash. Both sides are probably a little bit right. But, damn, if it didn't feel great to open my mailbox and see it.

We beat Georgia? Hells yeah, we did!

In the end, it probably didn't cost much at all to send it out...far less than what it would cost to send a band to Louisiana. The goodwill this thing generates is worth far more as our program ramps up and donors see their Gamecock Club $$$ turn into an upper deck on the North End Zone. And if we pull off a stunner in Baton Rouge next week, the Club can exhaust their entire yearly budget on sending each member a singing telegram, for all I care.
