Gamecocks Win the National Championship!!!

Omaha, Nebraska- Thanks to a dedicated group of players and an awesome coaching staff, the Gamecocks are national champs again!!!

Over 25,000 fans watched the Gamecocks become the new park's first champions.

SS Peter Mooney hit a double in the bottom of the third. A sacrifice bunt put him on third base. After a walk of outfielder Evan Marzilli, the Gators were in trouble as USC legend Scott Wingo hit a sacrifice fly.

Jackie Bradley was then walked and Marzilli later scored on a misplayed chopper from the bat of Christian Walker. DH Brady Thomas blasted a single to score the unlikely CWS player Jacckie Bradley, who suffered a wrist injury at the midway point in the season.

The Gators scored on a homer and a single.

The Gamecocks won their 16th consecutive NCAA Tournament game aat TD Ameritrade Stadium on the banks of the Missouri River. They are the sixth straight team to win consecutive national championships.

South Carolina has "a good group of core players," according to Ray Tanner's postgame press conference. USC's players were joyous after the game. The Gamecocks won 5-2.

The defense was awesome, getting out of jams and "pickels" according to Coach Ray Tanner. USC was phenomenal in games versus Virginia and Florida, which went into extra innings.

Pitchers Michael Roth and Matt Price are around the best pitchers in America.

The team has multiple personalities and loves the company of Charlie Peters, a kid the team visited in 2003 at the Children's Hospital. He came back to support the Gamecocks in 2010 and 2011, both national championship seasons.

Go Gamecocks! Back to Back National Champs!

Gamecock Fans, Jump on The Chicken Train and Check out This Blog

Hello, Gamecock Fans:
I am Lee W, and have been writing on Bleacher Report and have received over 50,000 reads over the past few years for my writings. I have got 15 medals from Bleacher Report from my writings and I have decided to start a blog.

I am writing a blog because I think sports writing is fun and enjoyable. I am also looking to expand my reader base. I appreciate the challenge of writing a good blog that is popular with readers.
I will be blogging about South Carolina Gamecocks sports, mainly including football, basketball, and baseball.

There should be plenty to write about.

 Heck, just last year USC won the SEC East in Football, and even a rare national championship in baseball. National sports fans are familiar with the likes of Steve Spurrier and Ray Tanner, along with Alshon Jeffery, Marcus Lattimore, Whit Merrifield, and Jackie Bradley.

I will also update on other major sports events. There are plenty of local major league teams and colleges near the University of South Carolina. Atlanta and Charlotte are only a few hours away from Columbia.
I will share as much news and predictions as possible.

The blog will be named The Chicken Train: A USC Gamecock Blog.

You will be available to leave comments and questions on my blog. I appreciate and encourage feedback.
Other USC blogs are also available on the web. Leftover Hot Dog is a blog and writer for Bleacher Report.  Garnet & Black Attack is another good website. I also encourage you to read The Rubber Chickens Blog.

The Life of a Gamecock Fan is expanding and has moved to a new webpage.
I encourage you jump on the Chicken Train this summer, Gamecock fans. I hope you enjoy the blog.
