Bill Golding, a fan you all have seen at one time or another, has passed away.

He was a fixture at WB by the Floyd Football Building after games. I remember seeing him for the first time after the Arkansas game in 2000, and from then on I would see him in his same spot every game. I had the honor of talking to him a couple of times during the span I went up there (every home game from 2001-2011), it's gonna be odd when I walk down by the FFB next time and not see him sitting there.

Baseball season won't be the same this year.

Is the school expected to perhaps do a small tribute on opening day?

That's likely something only Roster knows. Tanner may put something together, since baseball is his baby and what Oot Oot meant to the program and players.

***From USC Sports Information***
South Carolina lost a great fan and friend on February 10 with the passing of Bill “Oot Oot” Golding. Known for his Gamecock helmet with stickers, his Garnet & Black suspenders and his familiar chant of “Oot Oot” Mr. Golding loved South Carolina baseball and was a presence both at home and on the road traveling to see the Gamecocks play. We extend our condolences to his family. We will miss Mr. Golding!
We will honor Mr. Golding before Opening Day with a moment of silence and there will be a “Call to Action,” for all fans to join in with a collective “Oot Oot” before first pitch. A flag with “Oot Oot” will be flying on one of the flag poles in the outfield before Opening Day and a limited number of hardhat helmets will also be given away to fans on a first come first serve basis for those attending Friday’s game
