Bar Review for Florida

Gamecock fans get ready for a sea of Orange and blue, as the Florida fans tend to travel pretty well when they play the Gamecocks. A fun game we like to play at tailgating when playing the Gators is to drink every time you see someone wearing jean shorts or a wind breaker. It should be a nice day in Columbia for the 3:30 kick, so expect an assortment of jorts.

Florida fans, a great place to start your Friday night in Columbia is Chubby's Two X Four, all drinks are either 2 or 4 dollars. Chubby's is located on Hardin street in Five Points. The atmosphere is mostly college kids but it is a great place to get your night started. It is also a great place to go after the game on Saturday, to catch the rest of the college football action, as they have at least 10 TV's around the bar. The bartenders at Chubby's work hard to keep your drinks filled, so remember to tip.

Bar Review for Arkansas

I have visited Arkansas a dozen or so times but have never made it up to Fayetteville. Every U of A game I have attended has been in Little Rock, which I must say is a unique venue. Tailgating on the golf course is always a good time, even if I don't have a dog in the fight. Well Gamecock Fans be prepared for a sea of red and camo. Be prepared to talk hunting, basketball and then football. Remember that Nolan Richardson is not there coach any more, I believe he is still hiding in Mexico.

As I said before I have never visited Fayetteville, but I have heard a lot of good things about Dickson Street. I guess the place to be on Dickson street is, Brewski’s, so if you do make the trip please stop by and let us know how it is.

Wishing all Gamecock fans safe travels. As Lou Holtz once said, "Fayetteville is not the end of the world but you can see it from there."

Bar Review for Alabama

Well it has been a while since I have done some drinking in Alabama but I will try do my best for our first edition of Bar Review on the Road. The last time I went to Bama for a game was back in 2004. I am not sure how much has changed since then but I can still give you a heads up on what I remember from back in the day. The last time I was there it was parents weekend, and I must say that the parents at the AXO house were very nice to let me and JR use their restrooms and for giving us free t-shirts. So you if run into a pickle and there isn’t a porterjohn around, I say stop by the AXO house, they have a couple of restrooms right downstairs.

Ok back to the bars, the first place you are going to want to stop is Galette's, it isn’t the nicest place in the world but it sure was a lot of fun the last couple of times I have been down that way. Also check out Houndstooth right there off of University Blvd. Most places are pretty easy to find, as most of the bars are located right there on the strip.

Have fun and safe travels gamecock fans

Gamecocks Gameday Bar Review (bar of the weekend)

Each week for the rest of the season, we are going to pick a bar either in Columbia for home games or bars in away game cities that you need to check out. This weeks winner is The Loose Cockaboos, which is located right down the street from Williams Brice Stadium.

TLC has great drink specials all the time and is a gamecock bar. They say they have the coldest beer in town. They always have the game on, as well as other games to watch. Large outside area with a stage for bands. So if you are in town for the game tomorrow, stop by the Loose Cockaboos for a cold one.

I will be taking nominations for next week and the rest of the season.
