I didn’t mean it to be some big drama. There are just some things she has posted that lead me to believe she is not coming back. Can you imagine taking organic chemistry during THIS semester? Holy cow.

THIS semester? How about EVER?????

Another example of how amazing these athletes are that goes unnoticed far too often. Especially at the level South Carolina plays with how long their season can be.
 
I forgot the Darius Rucker national championship celebration concert was today. Apparently he brought Nelly with him as well.

Still pouting since they limited it to students only.

Yes, these women are amazing, Both as athletes and students... I bet a lot could write books on time management skills.. At Duke, we had a mechanical engineering major, an electrical engineering major, a player working on her Masters of Statistical Science, and 3 working on their Masters of Management in the Duke Graduate Business School. The practices were held in the morning (I believe). Imagine getting out of bed at 5am... going to practice.. then off to class and studying and projects, etc.

Kids still listen to Darius Rucker and Nelly? I learn something new everyday. :confused:
There's alot of people in that arena. :eek:
 
Rucker and Nelly does make for a weird combo. Would love to see the backstory how Nelly came on board. Also interesting to have a Missouri guy helping to celebrate the Gamecocks WBB National Championship. :cool:

The best video of the event are in the player’s IG stories so if you would like to flip through them in the next 24 hrs before they go away.

Darius Rucker is an alumni and a big fan of our WBB team. When they got to the FF he said if they won it all he would throw a free concert for the students. Darius asked Nelly to come play too. I assume it was to give a little variety. Anyway Hootie and the Blowfish (Darius’ old band) played too. He said if they win next year he wants to do it in the stadium. Looks like they had a great time. This is how a National Championship should be celebrated - big time.

Okay. I had to Google Nelly.

I 67 yo. Anybody remember the Swinging Medallions?

Name didn't strike a chord so I looked them up on YouTube. Definitely have heard their song, "Double Shot Of My Baby's Love", quite often.

Historically, rappers also love swinging medallions, particularly diamond encrusted ones, hanging off decent sized gold chains.

Ha... My cousin plays the trumpet in the Swinging Medallions. He isn't an original member. It's the group that's been touring since the late 80s/early 90s with a couple of the originals, their kids and my cousin was friends with one of their sons and they asked him to join them. They still perform today.

I thought it made sense. Both Nelly and Darius perform country music and still have their own lane for everybody in the crowd. I can't think of a mainstream hip hop artist who could fit better than him.

My concern was the age of the crowd, but then I realized these students were the perfect age to be 2nd generation fans. There's actually a chance a few them were actually procreated to some of these songs lol.

Destiny Littleton posted her good-bye on IG. Made me cry and idc who knows it. It was such a genuinely touching video she put together. She's "hanging up her basketball shoes" as she put it to pursue her dream of being a physician.
 


Love Destiny. So glad that after a period darkness she found a place where, it was obvious, she found happiness. Kinda crazy for a girl from around San Diego fall in love with Columbia. Can’t have two better mentors and shoulders to lean on than Coach Staley and Dr. Guy. Hopefully she and Jaylin are destined for a great future together with many baby chicks some day in their nest. :)
