A group of USC students went
camping outside the Russell House
Sundav nichfc.
Men's basketball tickets went on sale
at 9 am Monday for arguably the biggest
home game of the season against
Kentucky on ESPN. That, combined with
the recent success of the Gamecocks,
prompted many students to get in line
early. Very early.
) Freshman Philip Mobley had the
dubious honor of being the first in line.
He said he arrived at 10:22 pm Sunday,
shortly after the Super Bowl ended.
"I wanted to get the best seats,"
Mobley said. "And I wanted to spit shine

Students brought their sleeping bags,
radios and favorite beverages. They were
moved from the inside of the Russell
House to the ramp feeing Greene Street
and finally to the Bull Street entrance
of the building, where many slept most
of the night.
Senior Greg Nail said the system
needs revamping, and that all the moving
around wasn't necessary.
"We tried to find out where to go, who
to talk to, what door was going to be open
first and at what time, and nobody would
give us answers," Nail said.
The campers attracted attention from

Freshman Melanie Dukes said she
came by at midnight and saw no one.
She returned at about 5 a.m. to find
herself signing the fourth page of the
list.
"The Gamecocks are grrrreatP Dukes
said as she ate her Frosted Flakes.
The group guarded against cutting
by creating a list students signed as they
arrived.
Their fears were realized when those
outside noticed a few had made their
way inside the building. The USCPD
were called, and the students were forced
to join the others outside.
Freshman Kevin Anderson arrived
at about 8 a.m. and said he was amazed

Anderson said. 1 also didn't think college

Assistant Ticket Manager Curt
Derrick said that despite any complaining
and confusion, everyone got in the way
they were supposed to.
He said the school could certainly
improve the system of ticket distribution,
although he said the team's success plays
a big role in ticket demand.
"We always have a few up here early,"
Derrick said. "But with the team winning,
