Gamecocks and ECU fan become friends in police drunk bus usc staff wrote this Just like every other home football game day, last Saturday plenty of students were dragged out of the stadium, tazed, or verbally abused by Columbia’s fine police force. If this isn’t your first year at USC you’ve realized that as long as you have a wristband on, you can “pretty much” get as rowdy as you want. Getting arrested sucks and getting your season ticket revoked is even shittier, but this time the story ends in a bittersweet friendship between a Gamecock and an ECU fan that may have made it all worth it. Brandon Henley, the Gamecocks fan, broke the pee-seal too early and would later pay for it. Public binge drinking always yields the same problem; there’s never anywhere to piss. No one wants to wait in a long line for a porta-potty that hasn’t been cleaned or changed since the beginning of the season, and it’s not as if the pissing conditions much better once inside Williams-Bryce. On Brandon’s walk to the stadium he realized that he couldn’t wait any longer, stumbled into a corner of a stadium gate, and pissed on Williams-Brice. The police officer, utilizing his six-week Columbia Police training program, tapped Brandon on the shoulder to get his attention. The student turned around, causing him to accidentally piss all over the cop’s uniform and boots. He was thrown in the police-bus immediately. Meanwhile an unnamed ECU fan was stepping out of his pride and joy: a purple and gold ‘89 Winnebago. He and his buddies bought a spot and were getting nice and drunk before entering the game. After the first quarter, the ECU fan was frustrated with his offense and threw a hotdog at a South Carolina fan. A fight started, but was immediately broken up by cops, and the ECU fan was thrown in the drunk-bus. There is a happy ending at the end of this fairy-tale. The back of the bus has two benches along the back, and naturally, the arrestees align with their teams. Shit talking started up

and some harmless drunk wrestling ensued in the back of the patty wagon until the cops came to break it up. ECU fans were outnumbered, but also benefitted from Hulk-rage strength over their team’s awful performance. The fighting eventually settled completely and the poor drunken fans made small talk over college football, cheap beer and pussy - three things that can cool the fire of almost any brawl. Brandon Henley and the friendly ECU student exchanged numbers and are now great friends and temporary cell-mates. Brandon plans to visit the ECU fan in a few weekends, and he seems very sincere about the commitment. So to new Gamecock fans, when you start drinking, make sure you hold back your piss as long as possible, because breaking the seal only leads to more pissing. Wear a wristband, but be honest to cops because they’ll probably find out anyways. The best way to stay out of trouble: just don’t be a dick. And if you are going to get arrested and have your season tickets revoked, at least make it worth it.
