To me, Sunday was the darkest day in my 17 years of being a Gamecock.  

You might scoff at that remark.  You may bring up Brad Scott’s 1-10 campaign in 1998 or Lou Holt’s winless season the following year. And there’s no question the 63-17 drubbing at the hands of our in-state rival a dozen years ago was a jagged pill to swallow.
