On Thursday afternoon, the South Carolina Gamecocks took down the North Carolina Tar Heels by a final score of 38-21 in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.

“>@dennisdoddcbs…Praying for you I still remember back in July at SEC Media Days when you said the CEILING for our team was 2 wins …Keep bringing that expert “analysis” Happy New Year #FindSomeJoy,” he said.
