I live in Fayetteville AR, have for about 5 years. Anyway, this was on hogville.net and I had to share. Too funny.
Q. Twinky275 says: Last football season, I made a bold prediction on ask Mike – (11-1) Maybe I was a season early. I believe they will do it this year.
With what we have seen from games 1 & 2 – what’s your prediction for the season.
Also. Any good stories with you and the gamecocks.-
A. I’m not into predictions. I think you may be a little optimistic with predicting 11 wins this season but I thought nine was too many at the start of the 2021 season. So I’m the wrong person to ask. I’m terrible with predictions which is probably why I don’t like to make them.
South Carolina stories? Arkansas’s first ever SEC game was at Williams Bryce Stadium. I was shocked when I saw it for the first time. It’s nowhere near the South Carolina campus. On one side they have about five asphalt parking lots. On the other side is a railroad yard where they have old passenger cars parked on side tracks. The fans tailgate in those cars and many get highly intoxicated and completely annoying. It’s worse than Baton Rouge.

for the Coots "Cockaboose Railroad" was a genius, or either they got struck extremely lucky. Best example I can ever think of where someone took excrement and literally made a Shinola fortune off it.

If you had to claim that filthy stadium as your own, you would also like the lamecockaboose redneck railroad.

lame about having a permanent "Man Cave" tailgating facility that you can decorate inside any way you want, literally right on the doorstep of your stadium? If something similar were available at Clemson, prices to own them would be through the roof.

...a developer, came up with the idea. He also had a lot to do with the early success of The University Club in Blythewood, SC which is now, Cobblestone. Ed died of brain cancer about ten or so years ago. He was creative as a developer - The "Cocabooses" were very successful and widely copied (See all old train cars turned into personal "tailgating" sites around the Williams-Brice Stadium area.

Successful for the developer and as a place to get drunk and not be part of the tailgate crowd. That's how coots measure success for a terrible football program.

and the owner was a huge new car automobile dealership owner..and he, wife & family casually invited us onto deck and then inside for a drink & chat.
Very nice gesture & no hostilities even though we were deck out in All Orange.
We froze up in top end-zone area and near end we walked down onto field near a corner and watched & listened to Coot fans yelling Butttwald at our FG kicker.
Figuring he'd make it for win we rushed to my Audi Convertible and heard the Clemson fans yell..
and not only did we get out of Dodge quickly but knew Clemson had won, AGAIN~
