Greatest Gamecock of All-time bracket
We at GamecockCentral know how rough it is this time of year with no basketball and no bracket to fill out, but we're here to help.
Yes there's no bracket, but we've created something hopefully almost as good, and Gamecock related.
Introducing the Greatest Gamecock Athlete tournament.
How it works: There are 64 athletes represented over four regionals: football, men's and women's basketball, baseball and other sports.

It's similar to the NCAA Tournament where players are seeded one through 16 and go single elimination over the course of the next few weeks to determine who is the greatest Gamecock of all time.
Each sport at South Carolina is represented, and a few sports earned multiple nods in the Other Sports region.
The best part? The fans get to choose the winners of each match up.
Two rounds happen each week with Tuesday and Wednesday winners advancing to the next round of voting Thursday and Friday results will be updated and announced every Monday.
The voting will be done on the Fighting Gamecocks Forum with the athlete who gets the majority of the vote moving on to the next round.
The first round will start at 9 a.m. Tuesday with the football and basketball regionals up first. Wednesday will be the baseball and other sports regionals.
Round two voting will start Thursday and Friday before the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 begin the following week.
Voting will be live for 24 hours before the next round of voting.
