Gamecocks halftime is always full of music and motivation

This is a sincere question.
Your social media team posted after
the Florida game video from the locker room
and Luke Day pumping everyone up and guys dancing and stuff.
Was that different from what
the locker room looked like the previous three weeks?
I wouldn't say that.
My wife was like that.
She's like, man, we need to play music and be like that every game.
I'm like, we are, babe.
That's how we do things.
It just happened to be on social media from that standpoint.
I would say it was a little bit different, Jordan,
just because of the weather delay,
and because they were in there so long,
they were truly, like, bouncing off the walls and ready to go.
And I think I told – I can't remember if I told you guys or not,
but, like, I think I said it in the post-game press conference,
but we didn't know quite how the weather delay long it was going to be.
And George Wynn, our football ops guy, would come by every, you know,
10 minutes and tell me it's going
to be another 30, it's going to be another 20.
It's, you know, we're on the countdown clock.
If we don't have a lightning strike,
we'll be ready to go in whatever time.
and I was waiting for him to tell me we were 15 or 10 minutes out
and the players are, like, in the locker room with their helmets on,
like, ready to take the field.
And I had to go in there and be like, hold up.
Like, I don't even know if we're cleared yet.
So they were just ready to roll.
But, yeah, what they posted was probably a little bit more amped up,
but I think a lot of that had to do with the weather delay.
I think there's always an excitement to get back out there on the field
in the second half.
But let's be real, it was probably a little bit more against Florida
just because of the way that we had played
in the third quarters of games this season,
that there was a great intent by us throughout the week
and on Saturday in Gainesville at halftime
to get back out there in the second half
and really start the third quarter the right way.
So it will be similar this week,
and there better be the same intensity and urgency
because we know this Saturday is going to be critical
to start the second half the right way too.
