JANUARY
Connor Shaw's injury reports at SC were like "C. Shaw: gunshot to torso, pleurisy, squirrel bite, internal decapitation. Will play."

@edsbs I'd have to agree.

Connor Shaw may no longer take the field for the Gamecocks, but the legend of #TwoSprainz and all of his injuries/accomplishments will live on forever.

Jerri Spurrier is the best. I want to be her when I grow up.
This is happening in the Gamecocks dugout right now. Never change, college baseball. pic.twitter.com/k1Z7ByT6Ig

I'm including one of GABA's own (and specifically, my own) tweets in this article, because in a sad season for the baseball team, this was a moment of fun that we can remember forever thanks to the internet.
APRIL
Gruden is sick of Mel Kipers opinion already lol
— Marcus Lattimore (@MarcusLattimore) May 1, 2015
This doesn't really have anything to do with the Gamecocks, but it's a good tweet that came from a Gamecock, so it makes the list.

Granted, things didn't end up working out the way we all would've liked, but this list would be incomplete without at least one rivalry tweet.
SEPTEMBER

— Frank Martin (@FrankMartin_SC) September 22, 2015
Frank Martin had a lot of great tweets this year. This was one of them.
OCTOBER
Excited to get to play in the real Death Valley this weekend! #gamecocknation
— Elliott fry (@elliott_fry22) October 7, 2015
Speaking of rivalry tweets, #FREISMAN is my favorite (we won't talk about the outcome of this particular game).
And yes, you can continue to call me "FAY-ROW" .. Ima miss you coach !
— Pharoh Cooper (@KingTutt_chdown) October 13, 2015
FAY-ROW forever.
Hey @SC_HBC, let us know the date for the retirement party. We can bring sandwiches. pic.twitter.com/mxfghiz6zv
— Arby's (@Arbys) October 13, 2015
Okay, so this one didn't actually come from someone affiliated with the Gamecocks, but well played, Arby's. Well played.
Got to love The University of South Carolina students. Next time I'm crowd surfing!!! #gamecocknation pic.twitter.com/lw6Uhmv3B5
— Shawn Elliott USC (@ShawnElliottUSC) October 18, 2015
Unfortunately, the Gamecocks didn't win any other games while Elliott served as interim head coach, so we never got to see him crowd surf.
DECEMBER
Gamecock nation, it starts NOW!#Gamecocks

— Will Muschamp (@CoachWMuschamp) December 15, 2015
This list wouldn't have been complete without Will Muschamp's first tweet as USC's new football coach, nor would it have been complete without one of his many #SpursUp tweets, which seem to have given the fanbase some energy and excitement after a dismal season.
Hey @CoachWMuschamp glad to have ya here! If you need me, I'll be right down the road at Founders Park. #gococks pic.twitter.com/8wOnKizgKO
— Marcus Mooney (@MarcusMooney8) December 7, 2015
Who knew Marcus Mooney was a two-sport athlete?
One more thing...
There was one tweet this year that takes the cake as worst Gamecocks-related tweet of 2015. It came from Spurrier, and I have no doubt it contributed to the downward spiral the football team experienced this year.

— Coach Steve Spurrier (@SC_HBC) March 28, 2015
The #ChesneyCurse is real, y'all. Keep that man away from our football program.
There were probably more than 15 great Gamecocks tweets this year, so which others could've made the list? Let us know in the comments.
