Carolina Student Section left game early due to Geopolitical Concerns

Gamecock students came under fire from Connor Shaw and others for leaving the Vanderbilt game early on Saturday night.  However, an informal exit poll showed that international concerns were the reason.  “Vladimir Putin’s recent Op-Ed in the New York Times was very disturbing,” noted Engineering Major and Sophomore Caitlyn Vending.  “I just couldn’t sit there and continue to watch football knowing that Al Qaeda is telling Syrian fighters to shun secularists.  I wanted to discuss this with some classmates in Five Points immediately.” 

Junior Kenneth Denimbrosky agreed, saying that everyone on campus is just nervous about the nation’s foreign policy.  “Hey, India is retesting missles that can reach China and Hurricane Ingrid is forming in Mexico.  That is why we bailed.  Not because we want to get hammered at Group Therapy or Locals.”
