The Garnet Army Season Ticket Tour is hitting the road this month to spread the word about Gamecock Basketball! Our garnet-camo Hummer will travel to a number of community events over the next several weeks and will feature Cocky, the Gamecock cheerleaders, activities and games to win Gamecock prizes. The first ten people to purchase season tickets at each event will receive a mini-basketball signed by Dawn Staley or Darrin Horn.

Recon the Garnet Army Contest

Over the next month, you’re bound to see our Hummer traveling through the Columbia area. When you do, snap a picture of it for your chance to win an exclusive Gamecock Basketball prize package. Tweet your photo to @SpursUpBlog, upload the photo to the South Carolina Gamecocks Facebook page or send us an e-mail to gamecockalerts@gmail.com. We’ll pick a winner from each platform to receive the following:

• Two tickets to a Gamecock basketball game
• Two Gamecock Basketball t-shirts
• Autographed mini-basketballs
• Behind-the-scenes tour of Gamecock Basketball facilities
