Before Steve Spurrier, only one team in South Carolina history had won 10 games in a season. That 1984 season, led by head coach Joe Morrison and consensus All American Del Wilkes, became forever known as the "Black Magic" season. Del Wilkes went on to a successful pro wrestling career following his time at South Carolina, and talked recently with Chris Gillespie about his time as a Gamecock and professional wrestler in this candid interview.
