If any of you are watching ESPN Gameday today (10-6) I'm listening to it outside our condo window. We live only a block from its site, and I'll walk through there later en route to a fall baseball scrimmage.
I'm not going to try the sold-out game tonight, but my wife and I can see the Stadium from our high-rise window, about two miles away. One thing I've learned is that "live" broadcasts are a few seconds behind the action. When I see a gamecock pass, exciting run, or field-goal try in a home game on TV, I check to see if I see stadium fireworks. If I see them, it means the Gamecocks have just scored, though it won't show on TV for as much as 3-4 seconds later!
The game has sentimental value, as my wife and I had our first date on the day of the UGA-South Carolina game decades ago. We were UGA students then, who couldn't have known that one day we'd be living right by the South Carolina campus.
