Crimson Tide ran into sandstorm, ran out of patience

Crimson Tide ran into sandstorm, ran out of patience

At Williams-Brice Stadium, the nondescript but noisy home of the surprising South Carolina Game­cocks, concrete sometimes seems to turn to rubber. As the saying goes, “If it ain’t swayin’, they ain’t playin’.”
It was swayin’ Saturday.
They were playin’.
Techno music blasted through­out the stadium during the No. 19 Gamecocks’ stunning 35-21 victory over top-ranked Alabama. “Zombie Nation” is out in this stadium, if it ever was in. “Sandstorm” is the ral­lying tune that is played over and over, the pulsating beat starting slowly, then building until delirious students and others are whipped into a frenzy as they bounce and whip white towels over their heads.
