Darius Rucker: 'The Gamecocks made me cry' Posted Mar 29, 2017 These days, more than dolphins are making Darius Rucker cry. The Charleston native and Grammy-winning musician watched at Madison Square Garden on Sunday as South Carolina outlasted Florida 77-70 to advance to the program’s first Final Four. In the end, Rucker was left as misty-eyed as the other Gamecocks fans who watched in person and on television. (Charleston Post and Courier)
