Real Tweets From Real Gamecocks: The “best of Gamecock Twitter” from the week that was.

Every Friday during the off-season (and beyond), we hop on Twitter to see what the South Carolina community is talking about. We (obviously) won’t get them all, so tag us on Twitter at #RealTweetsFromRealGamecocks for nominees for next week!
