Rucker had a twenty-year run as lead singer of Hootie and therefore the Blowfish and currently has become a rising country star.
He already has 3 No. 1 songs on his debut country album “Learn to Live.” He’s on a national tour with megagroup Rascal Flatts. And he recently won the Country Music Association New Artist of the Year Award.
“It’s going to be a massive letdown on behalf of me around ten p.m. that night,” Rucker said slowly. “That’s when football season will end, when the Super Bowl. See, there are two times of the year: soccer season and watching for football season. Why cannot they play professional football Wednesday through Sunday?”
Rucker, who was raised in
South Carolina, could be a huge sports fan and has met a lot of athletes on the road. In fact, professional wrestler Ric Flair does a video introduction to Rucker’s performance on tour, and the Nike-adorned Rucker has played golf with Tiger Woods.
Within the past hand
ful of years, Rucker has gotten keen about fantasy football and truly won this year’s title over his band and crew. “I wear this ‘Fantasy Football Legend’ T-shirt on tour just to rub it in,” he said.
Darius Rucker traditionally heads to the Super Bowl to observe nose to nose, but he’ll be off for some days from the tour and will spend time with his family at home.
Darius Rucker, who is married and incorporates a couple of children, contains a space in his house known as the “Man Area,” with six TVs starting from 42 inches to 70 inches
