Gamecock Fashion Schizophrenia Halted

South Carolina head football coach Steve Spurrier announced yesterday that his Gamecocks will wear their traditional garnet jerseys with white pants for tomorrow’s big home game against the defending national champion LSU Tigers.

Wait, who cares, right?

Wrong. South Carolina’s football program fools around with its helmet, jersey and pant colors all the time, to the point we sometimes mistake these scholarship athletes for a bunch of friggin’ Fashion Institute graduates.

In case you forgot, one of our Ten Ways to Fix Carolina Football was for our athletes to spend a little less time preening in front of the mirror trying on different color combinations and a little more time focusing on actually winning football games.

You know … like the real USC does.

Anyway, the last time the Gamecocks (5-2, 2-2 SEC) tried to get all “cutesy-pants” with their attire was last year’s game against Florida, when they donned all black and proceeded to have Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow run all over them en route to a 51-31 Gator win.

Interestingly enough, Florida just got through putting an even bigger ass-whooping on LSU (4-1, 2-1 SEC), whose players are no doubt pissed as hell after getting embarrassed last week by the Gators.

LSU is currently a 3.5 point favorite over Carolina in a game that kicks off at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow night in front of a nationally-televised audience on ESPN, which we certainly hope will mean more Erin Andrews sideline pics for all of us to enjoy.
