Darius Rucker gives USC students a full show
Eventually, Darius Rucker stood on the Gamecocks logo.
He was far from the first notable person with University of South Carolina ties to walk across it at the end of the stage that jutted into the center of Colonial Life Arena.
He followed football coach Will Muschamp, the Gamecocks football team whose success allowed for the concert, plus a national championship women’s basketball coach, a Final Four men’s basketball coach and a university president, just for good measure.
The students who braved Wednesday’s stormy weather to attend the concert Rucker promised if the football team reached six wins got more than a concert. They got a show.
