South Carolina is drinking everyone’s milkshake these days. They sit at No. 3 in the Associated Press poll and look like legitimate contenders for the national title. They’ll have to navigate a brutal schedule to realize that prize, but for now, life is good for the Gamecocks.

There are lots of reasons for their success. They have a future NFL star at running back, a quarterback who can manage games with the best of them, and a board-certified freak at defensive end who haunts opponents’ nightmares.

But an especially crazy faction thinks the Cocks’ dominance is due to something else.

That something is “gay techno glow-stick music.”

Here’s SECRant poster Jefferson Dawg’s theory:

Carolina has looked average playing on the road so far this year.... barely scraping by Vandy and even trailing Kentucky after the first half. But, at home, they're blowing people out when they're able to hypnotize the visiting team with gay techno glow-stick music.
I'm sorry if that sounds crazy to you, but there's something not right about that song. And if true, this is a criminal act.
Google "Musical Hypnosis" if you don't believe me..............

This is huge … if true. I’ve got no love for that tired “Sandstorm” song, but would stomach it on loop if it made my team’s opposition turn into girly-men. That’s an easy one.

Think he’s onto something here, guys?
