Hootie & the Blowfish, who were a widley popular band in the 90s, were created thanks to four students at South Carolina, who met in a dorm near the Longstreet Theatre, and from then on, created a band that rose to the top of American music charts.

"The dorm is abandoned now," said Dean Felber, band member and avid Gamecock fan. "How sad is it when your own dorm is abandoned? Man, that makes me feel old."

Felber, along with Jim "Soni" Sonefeld, gave the crew a tour of the campus they called home for four years.

"The Horseshoe, the most famous part of campus...I wasn't smart enough to be on this part of campus," said Sonefeld. "We ended up giving a huge concert right here. It felt good to be a part of this part of the school."

The two pointed out the place where they first gave their concert, located just across the chemistry building, that's now being rebuilt into an office building, and talked about how the fraternities on campus were beneficial to the start of the band.

"Fraternities would pay us well," said Sonefeld. "I was never in a fraternity, but I had a lot of friends in them."

"Our wallets loved them, that's for sure." said Felber.

As for Gamecock football, both still attend USC games whenever they can.

"We wrapped up a tour in Boston, and we finally have about 10 days off, which in rock and roll is a long vacation," said Felber. "It's nice to be back home."

"I spend a lot of my extra money for a skybox for every Carolina game," said Sonefeld.

The two seemed easygoing about the fate of Carolina's chances before the Auburn game.

"I love having Coach Spurrier here," Felber said. "He's going to help the program. If things go to plan though, and we're losing pretty badly by halftime, everyone, especially the students, will be heading out for the night."

And it's the easygoing nature of Carolina fans that makes Gamecock football so special. There is raw passion, but it's mixed with the belief that the game should always be enjoyed, and winning is just icing on the cake.
