I'm now 93 & 1/2 years old and still able to post.
I was in my late 60s when I started posting on Gamecock Sports message boards.
- Thread starter Coupe
- Start date
I was a much younger man too, but I was right there with you and Plano, Trooper Del and the other all stars.
Damn Coupe I want to read more of your posts. Now if Plano could suddenly reapppear.
I met you @ one of those “Lunch with Lou“ Schlorship Donor gatherings near the Fairgrounds one year! I must say you were a jolly good fellow! The yr 2000 I recollect? Now Trooper Del……lol …He kept everybody in line! Good ‘ol days indeed
I was in my 30s when we first started conversing at a place like this. Now I'm about ready to retire! Crazy!
I’m not joking when I say I hope to be like you. I’m 38 and I hope to never stop learning
Plano and I worked together in making Fighting Gamecocks Form. He was a great friend!
Plano's page 3 was front runner in Gamecock information.
I was 47 years old (1998) when I got my first home computer. I was on FGF, the State's Gamecock board, and AST (RIP). FGF had a fast community that might have intimidated me a little bit, although I posted here (there, in those days) some. I spent most of my time at AST because I listened to Phil's show and got planted in that community. I am now on the second iteration of a board featuring some of the old AST posters, plus some others. But my activity on FGF has picked up in recent years and I have mostly enjoyed it. @Coupe, I salute you sir for your longevity and what you and others spawned. Your legacy is both appreciated and secure.
Is his name Algore?
The Tremont ! That time someone signed in as BIG O CAT. LOL
You mean the kind where you drive within a few feet of the car in front of you? I think my dad invented that.
I mean the kind I first saw in the farmers market a little over 40 years ago
I was still in college when I joined FGF back in the early 00s
It’s wonderful to see you still posting. You and Plano were my favorite posters when I first joined many years ago.
Holey crap- what year was your first game at WB Stadium? Story time!!!!!!!!!! The year was 1952 and…….

Lived in Goldsboro NC. The only one in a Major Corp. that knew about Football and took client to the game.

I thought u’d had a stroke when u gave snotty the keys to yer property off bluff
……’99 -00?Hope the mrs. is still by your side
The original internet spy and creator of the greatest internet prank! Great to hear from you!
I very much appreciate that you were the original portal that linked three things together for me:
1. The origins of FGF to the new way of Gamecock fan interaction in cyberspace.
2. My high school past that links to you and Gamecock Sports
-- Blown away that you knew my cousin, who wrestled at LR and in the '88 Olympics.
-- Also, I loved the story about Ernie Jackson, who played at LR and at Duke and the Saturday they played Carolina in Durham
3. Meeting at the FGF luncheon in Mt. Pleasant was only the 2nd time I met a Gamecock fan from online interaction -- the 1st was Brickyard Cock, who lived in the same neighborhood, and he was also at the luncheon. All because of what you and Plano started.
By the way, anybody ever hear from Snotty Peed and Beans?
It was a shame Ernie Jackson got away from Carolina. I remember the Duke game you're talking about. He was a great little athlete. I attended Southside in Florence and I remember him breaking our backs. Mooney Player teams were fun to watch. Didn't mean to get off on a tangent. Everyone carry on.
Louie has contact with peed…….btw, brickyard is a long lost name from hwy 17……..what happened to him?
I texted Snotty 2-3 days ago to get him over here.
@Brickyard Cock is still a subscriber - thank you! - but doesn't post.
I came over in 2011 (I think) after getting kicked off of the states site. Hard to believe I would do anything bad enough for that, right?
snotty probably out hunting opossum on one of the tyger streams.
Treemont? Is it still around or a memory?
Remember the ole Howard Johnson up the street w/ the pumpkin carriage? Don't know why but, always wanted that carriage.
I have not had a history lesson in a while,
thank you my older brothers! Keep CROWING GAMECOCKS !

Nope. Someone got it, and the land all the way to the corner at Axtell Drive and built over 200 apartments. The Howard Johnson's is gone as well, now a CVS and some other small stores.
Tremont
Howard Johnson's
Always thought that it was an exclusive place to stay whenever we rode by. In one of these pictures you can see it was recognized as an "Outstanding Commercial Building" from the Committee for a Cleaner and More Beautiful Columbia. Modern architecture from the early 1960's.

Great photo array. Brings back memories. I understand that visiting Carolina opponents used to stay there - or so I was told.
