It was also Cocky's birthday. Cocky's 30th birthday to be exact. So Mom and I decided we should have a party for our favorite bird. We invited Granddad, Grandmom, Aunt Mere, Uncle Corey, Colin, Brenna, Uncle Hoppy, Granny Kat, Katie, and Bobby over to watch the game and have dinner with us. I was glad to see everyone. I got to talk to Katie. She makes funny faces. :)
Since it was Cocky's birthday, Mom and I made him a cake. Mom dressed him up in a tuxedo and put him on a football field. It turned out pretty cute, I think.
I showed it to my Cocky doll, since the real Cocky was in Kentucky.
Hey everybody, come in here to see Cocky's cake!!! Can you believe he's 30??
My Gamecocks were playing Kentucky. They are some kind of cat. Wildcats, I think. Whatever that is. As far as I'm concerned, it's another member of the feline family to not be a fan of...Things were going great for my Gamecocks. Marcus Lattimore was on fire, they were scoring left and right. Things were looking pretty good at halftime. That made me happy. :)
After the break called halftime, things didn't go so well. Stephon Gilmore fell down and dropped the ball. Marcus Lattimore got hurt. Alshon Jeffery got hurt. Stephen Garcia made some mistakes. And worst of all, Kentucky started scoring points. I was getting worried.
We got to the end of the game and Kentucky had come back from way behind and had gone ahead of us. The Gamecocks didn't have much time left. They were making some good plays and moving down the field. Then, with 11 seconds left, Garcia threw the ball to the end zone and one of the Kentucky guys caught it instead of a Gamecock. Not cool. Mom was NOT happy with Mr. Spurrier. She said he should have let Spencer kick a field goal to tie the game so we could have a chance to win in overtime. I reminded Mom that she is a music teacher, not a football coach and that Mr. Spurrier probably knew what he was doing. Things just didn't work out for my Gamecocks this time. :(

I love my Gamecocks and I want them to do well. Otherwise, I'll have to wear my distressed face for the rest of the season.....
GO COCKS!
