It is no secret that Darius Rucker, country music star and frontman of Hootie & the Blowfish, is a massive fan of the South Carolina Gamecocks.

He is often seen wearing Gamecocks gear at his shows, and his band, one of the biggest on the Pop Rock scene of the 1990s, was formed while Rucker attended the college with his bandmates.

The musician has been known to play many free concerts on campus for the student body, particularly in celebration of their teams winning games, and Hootie is set to play another concert in the area in support of the institution in December.
