Growing up in Connecticut, a Giants fan of course, Joe Morrison was my HERO. He played 6 different positions and just knew how to score touchdowns. Inside the 20, there was only ONE man to go to. He was the only bright star during a LONG stretch of bad Giants team. When he worked his way to South Carolina, it was a crowning acheivment. I actually got to see him on national TV again. I'll tell you this, had he lived, he would have been coaching the Giants, maybe even to a Superbowl. Miss you JOE
Even in an extended season the Cock bums can't win 10 games. One 10 win season in their pathetic existence. 100 years to win their first bowl game. How can anyone be a fan of such a horrible program?
At least the Gamecocks got lucky then....Morrison was the catalyst as well as the benefactor.....it's a shame that he didn't get to put another 10 or 12 winning season together before his death.
We love ya Coach Joe! You were one Helluva coach! I was young and living on the west coast (in the process of moving back to SC) when my brother called me to say Coach Joe had passed. I hung up the phone and cried. I loved my Gamecocks beforehand but I credit Joe Morrison for making me crazyass insane for not only Gamecock football but football in general.
Joe Morrison smoked cigarettes on the sidelines!! He was a great coach here. He added a new interest in the program. He also loved to party hard. I think that contributed to his early death. He got caught up in the steroid scandal. I heard he never raised his voice at a player, or a coach. He treated his players like grown men. This sometimes backfired. It took a mature player to play for him. I miss coach Morrison. He was awesome. I remember when he died like it was yesterday.

I don't believe in "karma" or Mo-jo but perhaps the football gods granted USC fans 1 wish for all eternity....and 1984 was that 1 wish with coach Joe Morrison as ...Jesus ?
One of my proudest moments as a Gamecock fan, was in 84, team came home from Navy, huge crowd greeted them, thanking them for the season. Yes, Navy was a blemish, but they have been trying to have that kind of year ever since. I thought, well this is the reward for being a Gamecock fan!
yeah navy sunk our season, but we did beat clemson, the only team to beat their seniors in death valley (back when clemson was actually good). We got shafted in the bowl game.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Just one question? Was there any Navy Highlights or perhaps highlights of the bowl win oh I am sorry that did not happen for another 8 years yes I know you did beat Clemson that year. You will always be last in this State in Football sorry hope I did not hurt your feelings.
It's funny clemson fans are so obsessed with south carolina football. Why?? My guess is when you play in a shitty conference and you haven't won a conference title in 17 years maybe you just give up. Or maybe when you can't win a mid-level bowl game you give up. Or maybe when you realize your only NC was bought and paid for (three years probation following) the best times are behind you. Whatever the case may be, glad to have your expert input on carolina football.
@bull864 yeh clemson sucks,but what has your team ever done in the sec.So if the sec conference is so tough then why did usc join it in the first place?I'm sure you could have joined the big east or returned to the acc and continued to be a mediorce football program.
@sammys70 We joined the SEC because they were expanding at the time and we got invited, not to mention the money factor. I wish we were in the ACC because we would be a contender in football and it would improve our basketball because we would face better competition. The ACC is already a top-notch baseball league, so it would be a good move. And yes, we haven't done anything in the SEC, but you know as well as I that going 7-5 in the SEC equates to going 9-3 in the ACC.
Navy wasn't on tv, but then again your brain doesn't work that well. I am sorry if you pull for the one school in state that cheats to win its football NC. GG Please fail more as usual Clemson jackoff.
Nice video! my names Alexis, kinda feelin bored if any1 wants to join me on cam or wana chat i will be signed on at __ PLAY-CAM...dot...COM __ my user ID there is Alexis_gtybp chat soon xx its FR33 to j0in! mwah
Loved it, took me back to 1984. I went to the Georgia game and can remember Ira Hillary making that awesome catch down the sidelines.Also, went to the Clemson game and LOVED it when our Quarterback stuck the football in refrigerator Perrys face and drop it.
Liked the video too...my only complaint as a fellow USC fan is using the Titanic music, which makes me think of the ocean, which makes me think of Navy. Oh yeah, and a couple of thousand people freezing in the icy North Atlantic. But at least one was Leonardo Dicaprio. What was my point again???
Am a Clemson fan, but did like this video. Purchased a book years ago from the SC Athletic Department about the 1984 season by a Tom Price. Joe Morrison was a class person. As a football fan, and a person, miss him as well.
Gayest video ever.
