Book excerpt: Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: South Carolina Gamecocks combines the great passion of the Gamecock fan with the grand passion of the fan of Christ in one set of devotions. The result is a book that is fun while it provides a time of reflection about God and your faith. The Gamecock football team once made a decision that killed a bowl game. The greatest fast-pitch softball player in USC history didn't even play the game until she arrived in Columbia. USC's stunning upset of Georgia in 2019 turned out to be the fulfillment of a piece of Hilinski family prophecy. The USC women just had too much to overcome to beat Miss. State for the 2017 national title. Funny thing about that. Clean air, clean water, and pretty girls - that's what lured Alex Hawkins to Columbia. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Steve Spurrier, A'ja Wilson, George Rogers, Marcus Lattimore, and many others. Their stories - along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events - are told with a twist: They are all tied to God's story. Have fun! Have faith! Go Cocks! Go God!
