It's us giving thanks to Spurrier's decision to coach the Gamecocks and a time to celebrate a first year which saw the team beat the likes of Tennessee and Florida on the way to a 7-4 regular season. While the bowl game ended sour, this was merely the laying of the foundation for greater things to come.
