Haven't figured it out yet. Mason Inn in Glover Park is the SEC bar of DC that always shows South Carolina games, but they've gone under a sort of management change in the past few months so no one knows if they're still going to show SEC games. If they are, I'm definitely going there.

The DC Gamecock bar is Redline, which is in Chinatown. I personally think it's not a good bar to watch games, but that's just me. There will probably be a huge turnout of alumni there though. I went for the A&M game last year, and now I associate it with bad mojo.

Either places would be fun IMO.

This is OBCs fair well tour. Price should be no object.
USCe don't care.


Probably time to put that to rest.

The HBC is only 16 wins from becoming the only coach in college football history to win 100 games at two FBS schools.

He's something like 30 SEC wins away from breaking The Bear's SEC wins mark.

He make sure he accomplishes the first ... then he may shoot for the second.

This will not be his final year IMHO ... unless it is a complete and total disaster I suppose.

That group at Redline use to meet at the Crystal City Sport Pub. That was a good group of fans who use to meet up (over in Arlington/Crystal City.) DC is such a transient city though, it could be a totally different group of people since I went to those game parties. I haven't seen any of those guys in about 5 years.

UNC's Kenan Stadium only holds 63K, but they didn't have a single sellout last season. Averaged about 54K a home game. Play a basketball game in BoA, and you'll then see a sellout....


See? This is what I mean: only 50K total in a 70K stadium, with 30K+ easily all Gamecock fans. And here's how the UNC team took it:

Deafening crowd drowns UNC football's offensive line

Jon Heck could hardly hear his own quarterback.

The North Carolina tackle wasn’t alone, as the entire offensive line struggled to communicate in UNC’s 17-13 loss to South Carolina on Thursday. But in a neutral-site showdown in Charlotte, the Tar Heels were taken aback by the decidedly one-sided crowd.

“(When) the crowd is supposed to be somewhat split, you don’t go in necessarily anticipating that it’s going to be one of the loudest games you’ve played in,” Heck said. “But I give South Carolina fans credit; that was one of the loudest games I’ve ever played in.”

The deafening noise took its toll. UNC committed six illegal formation or procedure penalties during the night, costing the team 30 yards and cancelling numerous positive gains for a sputtering offense.

“Guys were not on the same page,” Heck said. “There were (at) times a little bit of miscommunication and chaos on the line as far as trying to relay the play call to each other and also hearing the snap count.”

But after the starting unit executed 29 flawless practices this offseason, Thursday’s crowd proved too much for the Tar Heels’ seasoned offensive line.

“We went the whole camp without one procedure penalty,” said offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic. “Then you go out there, (and) it was a lot louder than I think we anticipated with it being a neutral site.”

What did I tell you? UNC don't know CFB. Whenever they score a TD, the loudest applause you hear in their stadium is from the wine bottle corks being collectively popped....


Oh, also the UK game at Williams-Brice is now officially sold out...
