South Carolina is bowl eligible, and Darius Rucker is keeping his promise
Saturday was a big day for the University of South Carolina.
The football team won its sixth game of the season — a 44-31 triumph over W. Carolina. As such, Will Muschamp’s team is now bowl eligible.
Prior to the season starting, a deal was set in place featuring USC AD Harris Pastides and famed country singer Darius Rucker.
Six wins means a bowl game…and a Darius concert. What a day! @UofSC

If USC were to win six games, Rucker would play a free show on the heart of campus. It’s a big deal for Rucker — considering he’s a South Carolina native, and has an unabated love for the Gamecocks.
Since USC clinched the deal on Saturday, Rucker is living up to his word:
Can't wait I play. Gonna be in the spring but will be free show for the university!! Exited and happy https://t.co/qXrVpeHgO8

The concert will take place sometime in the spring at “The Horseshoe” on campus in Columbia.
One has to wonder, will we hear some old Hootie?
