Really impossible to pick one, but the first that jumps to my mind is the 1993 UGA game (UGA #14). I'll never forget the Brandon Bennett "over the top" play. I was 16 at the time and at my peak for delusional love for Gamecock football. In my mind, we were national champion contenders after that game.

For me it was hands down our first SEC conference win. With a record of 0-5 the great Steve Taneyhill gets his first start in the midst of massive team drama... turning the season completely around. I dont think I have seen any Gamecock team make that kind of course direction that quickly since then.

Ive got to go with favorite season 2000, for my selection, and I'm chosen betweem UGA and Miss State.

I will go with Miss state, The Fade Game, to stay unbeaten. I can still hear the metalic banging of the bleaches on the south end zone after the TD and the crowd getting so loud, it was a hot day to. It was pretty memorable to go to 4-0 after the 21 game losing streak and beating Joe Lee Dunn's blitzes.

RIP Coach Holtz

Pretty blury but the backup QB coming in on 4th down and doing that for us, was great moment!

Hard to pick a favorite, but there were some notable ones that I remember fondly

2000 and 2001 games where we tore down goal posts against New Mexico State and Georgia. I was a teenager and helped (as much as I could) to yank them down

2012 Outback Bowl vs Michigan

2010 vs #1 Alabama

2022 vs Tennessee beatdown

2009 vs Ole Miss - birth of sandstorm when I was a student in the student section.

2014 vs UGA - that 4th and inches measurement to ice the game was one of the loudest moments Ive ever experienced at Williams Brice

That game was something else. When we have these conversations about the loudest game we've ever attended in Williams-Brice, I don't think that one gets a lot of of attention because there have been a lot of games (often night games) that were louder from start to finish than that Mississippi State game. But if we had a thread about the loudest _moments_ in the history of Williams-Brice, I believe the minutes immediately after The Fade would be in the top 10. The place just erupted and the bedlam continued into State's next offensive possession where they were completely inept.

2022 win over Tennessee(this may sound callous and cold-hearted to some) when we ended Hendon Hooker's UT career and took away their ability to ever see him play for them again(and any Heisman and national title possibilities) it felt like payback for 2012 when they took away our ability to ever see Marcus Lattimore play for us again.

I dont really think about it like that. Hooker tore his ACL on a non contact play, we had nothing to do with his career ending. I do think Tennessee has had a history of playing pretty rough, borderline dirty. If I recall correctly Anthony Wright tore his ACL against Tennessee in 1997.

I don’t like seeing anyone get fired, but this is a results oriented business and the things that came out after last season were pretty shocking. Hope PM enjoys retirement, and the next coach returns us back to prominence!

It's a good point. We have no reason to shopping in the bargain bin. I think we still carry enough weight in college baseball circles that we can be seen as a top job. Not with recruits, so much, but among coaches and such, they know you can win big here.

Somewhat like Alabama when they hired Saban. They were mediocre or worse for a decade, but it was still Alabama.

Mine would have to be 2010 Alabama. That season I had seats on the lower level near the 40 about Row 10 (can't remember the section) . I went by myself in those days and only needed one ticket. My seat was beside a lady in her late 70's and her daughter. Nice people. After the game was over, the older lady was crying and her daughter told me that the seat I had used to be her Dads seat for over 50 years till he died in 2009. She said her mom was crying because her dad had never seen us beat a #1 team and she just wished he could have lived one more year to see it.

I was just happy to share that moment with that older lady. I saw the daughter going into the stadium the following season and she told me her mom had passed.

Beating Clemson in Willy B in 1987. Man it was cold that night. I think the score was 20-7. The stadium was rocking big time.

I’d have to say Arkansas 2004. Wasn’t the most exiting time in Carolina football but a good memory and a great game.

That's a really bizarre way to think about an incredible game. It's not just callous and cold-hearted, it's dumb.

Bama 2010

There are plenty of other great games, sure, but if gotta pick one, that game is the GOAT.

EDIT: So, the question is not the GOAT, but rather favorite of all time. That's subjective so whatever you think is the right answer. For me, that 2010 Bama game is my favorite. 2012 UGA and the Clowney bowl are up there too.

1980 South Carolina 39 Wake Forest 38. Watched this game standing in the rain on the northwest ramps. I believe South Carolina was down 38-17 in the fourth quarter and late in the game I believe Gary Harper connected with Horace Smith on a bomb for a touchdown and then South Carolina converted a two point conversion to win the game.

2022 South Carolina 63 Tennessee 38. I think South Carolina was a 20 point underdog and won by 25. I believe a week earlier South Carolina did not score a touchdown against Florida. No one could imagine South Carolina would smash Tennessee
