Your #COLAweekend guide | Nov. 10-12, 2017

This weekend is full of opportunities to give to those in need and to give thanks to those that have given so much. And, of course, a weekend in Cola wouldn’t be complete without UofSC sports, as Gamecock football takes on Florida on Saturday + Gamecock Women’s Basketball opens up its 2017-2018 season today versus Alabama State. Here’s to bowl games + repeat national championships. 🤞

Happy giving + as always, go Gamecocks,

-Anjali
