8 thrill seekers assembled ’round the shovel flag before dawn at Jumanji this AM ready to make their daily downpainment. With the College Football Season kicking off today, YHC couldn’t pass up an opportunity to lower the boom on #TheHerd while dropping some knowledge on the history of the games played between his alma mater and their opening game opponent. Today’s South Carolina vs. NC State game will move the Wolfpack past North Carolina as the team that has played the Gamecocks 3rd most in football behind only Clemson and Georgia. Carolina leads the overall series by the narrowest of margins at 27-26-4. After studying up on the rivalry, the QIC tied in several numbers of significance to today’s workout….as painfully as possible.

Moleskin:
T-claps to Moneypenny, who ironically inspired this Gamecock’s workout today with his Q this week that honored Clemson’s 2016 National Championship Season. Solid work by #TheHerd this AM. We rotated through the pax 3 times for a total of 21 “games” / exercises with the number of repetitions varying from 7-48. YHC has never been much of a score prognosticator, but based on the work done at Jumanji this AM, here’s a shot in the dark at predicting today’s score based on the random selections made today:
Winner of 13 of the 21 random picks: Carolina
Overall average winning score: 22
Overall average losing score: 10
Prediction:
Carolina 22
NC State 10
Great having Swamp Thing back this AM. #Kotters. Continued prayers for him and his family with the addition of baby number 3 and their switch from man-to-man to zone defense.
Welcome PC to his first boot camp workout at Jumanji. He was making it look easy out there this AM!
T-claps to Choo Choo on his 11.7 mile run this AM and getting back in time for the COT.
It was cool seeing Orange Crush at #coffeeteria with his 2.0.
Announcements:
Convergence at Jumanji next Saturday. Stay tuned!
9/11 5k on Monday, September 11. Preview at Stampede on Friday, 9/8.
