Gamecocks win the jump but Sania Feagin turns it over. Still, the Gamecocks strike first a few possessions later on a Te-Hina PaoPao jumper.

Little political thread got deleted. Hahaha

Checking in from Founders Park for the final game of the second series of the season. South Carolina going for the sweep against Milwaukee, and doing so with several lineup changes. Ryan Bakes is the starting catcher today, giving the struggling Talmadge LeCroy a day off. Freshman Beau Hollins makes his first career start today at first base, which pushes Ethan Petry to right field. Nolan Nawrocki back in at second base, and Will Tippett makes his second start of the season at shortstop. Blake Jackson also back in there in the two hole.

Here's the full lineup, with Jake McCoy on the mound. 1:30 first pitch.

In the words of the scholar Rob Schneider…. “WE SUCK AGAIN”!!

I didn’t even know about this Nations Face Off until today. Canada won tonight. Nice job

Looks like a very chilly weekend. But it looks rather clear. Always enjoy checking on the new offerings. My wife even enjoys it.

The Gamecock Bass Fishing team will be on hand too. I'll be right there in the middle of all of it too.

Checking in from Colonial Life Arena, where it's going to be a late tip and it's also getting very late for South Carolina men's basketball. Gamecocks are down to just five chances left to get a conference win, and two of those games are going to be on the road against top-15 opponents. Tonight looks like one of the more winnable opportunities left, with a vulnerable Texas squad coming in. Critical game for the Horns and their bubble hopes, but there's a reason tehy're on the bubble to begin with.

8:30 tip on SEC Network. updates to follow.

Busy day in Columbia starting out at Founders Park today, where South Carolina baseball will go for the series win today against Milwaukee. Matthew Becker starts on the mound after his stellar outing last Saturday. Henry Kacmar drops into the 7-hole and Talmadge LeCroy to the 6-hole as Paul Mainieri tries to get both of their struggling bats going a little bit. Jordan Carrion gets his first start of the season at second base, in for Nolan Nawrocki.

It's a 2:00 first pitch. Here's the full lineup:

Nathan Hall - CF
Dalton Mashore - RF

LeCroy back behind the plate after getting a breather on Wednesday. Here's the full lineup for the 4:00 first pitch:

Nathan Hall - CF
Henry Kaczmar - SS

In 2026 is long overdue. Gamecocks stadium is 91 years old and will have less capacity but more luxury suites when completed. The actual attendance is below 70000 anyway.

Thanks, in advance.

Back at Colonial Life Arena for the penultimate home game of the regular season for South Carolina women's basketball. Gamecocks trying to bounce back from the UConn debacle tonight, and on paper this should be the perfect get right opponent. Gamecocks host the Razorbacks, who come in dead last in the SEC standings at 9-18 overall and 2-10 in the league.

Everyone is present and warming up. It's a 7:00 first pitch on SEC Network. Updates to follow.

What an embarrassing first half. This is a very flawed team that has regressed severely recently. No defense, turnovers, can't shoot, just a horrible showing. There is no guarantee they even make the Elite 8 much less Final 4. This has been coming on for awhile now.

Hello from Founders Park. It's about as cold as I've ever had it here. My phone says 38 degrees and rain, but they just pulled the tarp off the field as the rain has settled into something of a drizzle. Gamecocks taking on Queens today in their first home midweek of the season. JUCO transfer Jackson Soucie gets the ball for his South Carolina debut in this one, a 4 p.m. first pitch.

Talmadge LeCroy is DHing today after catching the first four games. Sophomore Ryan Bakes starts behind the plate in his place. Cayden Gaskin also gets a start at second base, and Henry Kaczmar slides down the 7 hole after his slow start. Dalton Mashore is batting second and playing right field.


Here is the full lineup:
Nathan Hall - CF
Dalton Mashore - RF
Ethan Petry - 1B
Kennedy Jones - LF
Talmadge LeCroy - DH
Ryan Bakes - C
Henry Kaczmar - SS
KJ Scobey - 3B
Cayden Gaskin - 2B

To get to the playoffs? Offense should be improved but the defense might take a little step back. Hard to get both aligned. Portal players have to respond with a good season.

…was a beast under the basket. None of our bigs could stop her.

Correction from thread topic: Oldacre is her name. She’s 6’6”

The baseball team has started out 3-0. The Softball team is 10-0.
I heard some people complain about these coaches being hired. People questioning Ray Tanner.

Seems like both new coaches have put together a couple good teams.

I know they both brought in some really good players from the Portal. And they both talked about turning these into winning programs. Well they sure have started right.

Baseball results, they may not mean a lot to some, but Sacred Heart had a very good team last season. The end of this month they get to take on Clemson. I hope they are 9-0 then and end up 12-0. Then we will know how good this team may be.

Softball results, they were able to beat some decent teams. They had six shutouts and six run-rule victories. Nine times this season Carolina has scored five or more runs. Through the first two weeks they are outscoring their opponents 81-13. They play UNC this afternoon.

Maybe Ray Tanner knew what he was doing when he hired them.

The Gamecocks continue to search for their first SEC win with a winnable road trip to Baton Rogue.

ROCK HILL, S.C. — Hello from The Winthrop Ballpark for the first road game of the Paul Mainieri era. The Gamecocks will actually bookend their midweek slate against the Eagles this season, with Winthrop returning the trip to Founders Park on May 13th. Winthrop is also 3-0 coming off a sweep of Merrimack over the weekend.

It's a 4:00 p.m. first pitch today with Georgia transfer Jarvis Evans Jr. on the mound for the Gamecocks. Here is South Carolina's full lineup:

Nathan Hall - CF
Henry Kaczmar - SS
Ethan Petry - 1B
Kennedy Jones - LF
Talmadge LeCroy - C
Jase Woita - DH
Nolan Nawrocki - 2B
KJ Scobey - 3B
Blake Jackson - RF

A look across the conference here:

This last 3 or so years everyone has been trying to figure out NIL. Who makes how much? Who is paying?
Well, it was all about donations from both companies and individuals. No one really knows who got what

All of that has now changed.
Starting this year, the university will actually be paying players. They say it will cost them about $20 million, but no word on how much each player will get. And the "better" players will still have NIL added to that stipend.
So many questions we will never know because of privacy law.
Sadly, I now know how SC plans to come up with the $20 million. The fee for my season seats went up $200 ea. There are several other seats that cost a lot more than mine, so they probably have even higher fees. I suppose Baseball and Basketball all went up too.
I love amateur football and I especially love going to Gamecock football at Willy B. But thanks to college kids demanding to be paid like the pros, it is getting hard for my budget to keep up.

Gamecocks looking to finish off the sweep on opening weekend.

Here we are, another installment of South Carolina vs. UConn.

Atmosphere already building at Colonial Life Arena more than two hours before tip-off with College GameDay in town. Show is set to go live at 11, and the game starts at 1 on ABC. Should be a fun one with the Huskies in town and an electric atmosphere.

Updates to follow.
