I sincerely hope that we, Carolina, have enough class to avoid any appearance, whatsoever, towards running up the score against any of the four cupcakes. Either way, we are going to find out, aren't we?

TALENT is God given ... be HUMBLE.
FAME is man given ... be GRATEFUL.
CONCEIT is self given ... be CAREFUL.

John Wooden

Obviously the Rams didn't put much value into his service.

Kick the living sh#t out of Clemson.

Hearing from players and Shane Beamer to get week one going. Updates to follow.

A look at the list here as they all hit the field this weekend:

Well damn
I didn’t don’t like the Buf Bills any way
Hopefully he picks up a new gig

I say that the Cocks lose 7 this year. Why??? My thoughts are that they will go 5-7 in the regular season. Should they surprise and go 6-6, they will lose their 'Bowel' game and lose 7 on the year. I believe that to be an honest & fair reflection on our season hopes.

Afraid to post what you really THINK will be our final record??? Always remember, ... "ONLY in TRUTH is there Wisdom" .... not false hope!"

Let's see those score predictions for South Carolina's week one matchup vs. Old Dominion.

That's a wrap on talking season. Let's get to some real action.

How is it, this dude is playing for the Giants and our coaches barely used him? Are they that inept or was it our former RB coach now knowing his players…..

Based on Beamer's pressers, looking more like we'll be in rotation for awhile.

Could be a good thing with all new skill players on offense.

*Ties (ties are not broken)

Enjoyed watching Whit and the Braves take down Philly last night.
Whit had a triple, double and a walk for the game. He scored the Braves first run. He is playing much better and just hope he and the Braves can keep it going.

Hearing from Dowell Loggains and Clayton White to talk through camp so far. Updates to follow.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (August 21, 2024) – The Reese’s Senior Bowl has named 14 South Carolina football players to its watch list, the senior all-star game announced today.

Those Gamecocks under consideration include running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders, wide receiver Gage Larvadain, tight end Joshua Simon, offensive lineman Torricelli Simpkins III, defensive linemen Tonka Hemingway, DeAndre Jules, Kyle Kennard and T.J. Sanders, linebackers Demetrius Knight Jr., Bam Martin-Scott and Debo Williams, defensive back O’Donnell Fortune, punter Kai Kroeger and long snapper Hunter Rogers.

The 14 players representing South Carolina tie for the 12th-highest total for a school on the preseason watch list. Ole Miss leads the way with 21 players, followed by Georgia (20), Texas A&M (20), and Alabama (19). The SEC dominated the watch list with 229 players overall, outpacing the Big Ten’s total of 161.

No week zero game for the Gamecocks, but they're in their "mock game week" as Shane Beamer calls it where the schedule is the exact same as a game week, including with the media.

Players and Beamer coming today starting at noon, live updates:

Malcolm Gatson, top instate OL for 2026 had this to say about his recruitment:

“Still heavy with Clemson, but with FSU coming in, it’s really a battle between FSU and Clemson right now,” Gaston said. “I haven’t heard too much from Georgia mainly because they are in fall camp. I haven’t heard a word from South Carolina (since camp)."

What are we doing here? He's been offered by our two biggest rivals. What do they see that we don't?
