South Carolina shook everything up, especially in the SEC East race, with Saturday’s stunning victory over No. 3 Georgia in Athens. There was enough drama, tension and angst for a full Saturday’s worth of SEC sad fans, and that’s what we’re here for.
First, what’s more interesting here, the Dawg on top of the head or what appears to be makeup to celebrate Mexico’s “Day of the Dead” a few weeks early?

Gamecocks fans had their moments of doubt as well, especially when a potential winning field goal was missed:

But the day ultimately belonged to South Carolina, leaving Dawgs fans to hit the Surrender Cobra in tandem:

If Testudo seeks a place to hide after Maryland was embarrassed on Saturday, there might be an unexpected spot available:
Looks like bad Maryland showed up today in a 40-14 loss to 1-4 Purdue. Could have taken a lesson from West Japan Railways, who engineered special tunnels for safe turtle passage across train tracks. ?? pic.twitter.com/T0i5N8H2Qy
