Gamecock fans woke up on Saturday morning reliving the nostalgic feeling of one of their favorite football memories, the unforgettable 2010 upset over No. 1 ranked Alabama. It's been 15 years, but the Gamecock faithful still relish in the 35-21 win like fine wine, best served when the Tide comes to town.

But classic SEC drama fashion, Alabama fans decided to...make it weird. But not only about the 2010 headline memories.

The chaos started when GamecockCentral guru Wes Mitchell posed on X that Shane Beamer's injury report was "as clean as we've seen in a long time." Pretty standard news. Nothing earth-shattering. But apparently, some Tide fans took some sort of personal offense to it, but not at what Beamer said, or the actual injury report, but at the idea that the Gamecocks are...well...healthy?

Apparently, a few Bama fans had convinced themselves that the Gamecocks were saving players for the Tide matchup, as if Beamer coordinated a secret week-ling recovery mission just to catch Alabama off guard.

Meanwhile, Gamecock fans are thriving on the chaos on social media by reposting of classic clips from the game, laughing off the accusations, and reminding everyone of that one glorious Saturday in 2010.

Alabama fans can roll their eyes and throw out wild accusations all they want. But the 2010 game was a moment that cracked the armor of a dynasty and reminded the college football world that magic still happens.

Maybe today's game won't be a repeat. Or maybe it will. But either way, South Carolina fans will never apologize for remembering the day they made history, and they will never stop believing that it can happen again.
