Darius Rucker is a huge sports fan, but his love for the South Carolina Gamecocks runs deep. He went to college at the University of South Carolina, as well as formed his hugely successful band, Hootie & the Blowfish, while at school. A few years ago, he was awarded an honorary doctorate degree in music.
So, when the Gamecocks beat the Florida Gators 77 – 70 during Sunday’s March Madness matchup, it marked their first-ever trip to the Final Four. Darius, along with his son Jack and fellow Hootie bandmate Mark Bryan, got really emotional after the win.
