Some history of The Horseshoe, site of Gameday this weekend



SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS Blog - SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS University Official Athletic Site


The Gamecocks will be hosting No. 1 Alabama on Saturday on CBS. Gameday will be coming to The Horseshoe to originate its broadcast. Gameday is the biggest thing in college football news these days, some say unfortunately.
It will be a big day, but not the biggest day on the 'Shoe.
On Sept. 11, 1987, Pope John Paul II stood on a stand outside the President's House and told the jammed assemblage of students packed into the sealed-off Horseshoe, "It is good to be young. It is good to be young and be a student. It is good to be young and a student at the University of South Carolina."
I remember good times on the 'Shoe.
