Gamecocks DEFEAT Alabama

To quote John Love: "Unreal!" And "Unreal" it certainly was when the scoreboard flashed a final score of 35-21 between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Alabama Crimson Tide this season! As a true University of South Carolina fan - John, of course, managed to arrage to do a littlle business in Cola for the BIGGEST game of the season. Our Gamecocks are unpredictable not only season-to-season, but game-to-game... Defeating then #1 Alabama on October 9, 2010 made it a "great day to be a Gamecock!" for sure!!!

Congrats Sandra and Robbie!!!

Sweet baby Bella is due to grace us with her presence January 20th. Sandra and Robbie are very excited about welcoming their firstborn into the world! Princess Bella deserved nothing less than a stylish baby shower given by WELove employees the first week in November. We all wish Sandra and Robbie the best of luck and know that they will be wonderful parents! Sandra will be missed while on maternity leave - and we'll all be tappin' our toes anxiously awaiting her return!!!
