SOUTH CAROLINA
The South Carolina Gamecocks won one of the craziest games of the year on Saturday, taking down the Missouri Tigers 37-35 at home.
After a torrential downpour, sloppy play by both teams and two lightning delays, it all came down to a 33-yard field goal attempt by South Carolina K Parker White.
As you can see below, White’s father was spotted in the stands. He could hardly watch the kick, but after it split the uprights, he was all smiles:

The roller coaster of emotions White’s dad experienced will be familiar to any parent of an athlete.
Fortunately for him, his son made the kick, meaning it was time to celebrate.
I didn’t see the game but heard about a lot of rain. Must have been horrific weather to have the stands that empty in such a close game.
Wasn’t as empty as it looked. The helix ramps in the four corners were packed with people
If we could keep him and his dad and get rid of another player and his dad…
If you could go pick on some other fanbase for a while…
That’s good stuff!
