Picture a Saturday afternoon, the sun is beaming, the sound of fans talking and cheerleaders cheering fill the air, Gil Harris announcing about D & B fried fish and barbecue, The Marching 101 playing "Pass the Peas", and the sounds of helmets clanking, grunts and referee whistles. This is a Saturday afternoon on game day at the Oliver C Dawson Stadium, home of the South Carolina State Bulldogs.

 

Last year, the SC State University football team finished with an overall record of 7-4 overall record, 6-2 in the MEAC, with the losses within the MEAC conference being extremely close. It probably wasn't the best season in bulldog history, but for a few members of the SC State football program, hopeful futures were still in sight. SC State had 5 former players overall enter into the NFL, Javon Hargrave (3rd round) and Temarrick Hemingway (6th round) were the first to be picked up during the draft and later followed (scoot) Simmons, Hamilton and Cooper (Citadel). All of those former players made impacts on and off of the field, by being leaders and giving their all every play they were able to play their part in preparation for the big leagues.
