Aunt has pneumonia and in hospital. Not on ventilator but given extra oxygen. Uncle doing better than her and is not in hospital but has to push back surgery that was scheduled to take out his kidney that is cancerous. NEITHER WAS VACCINATED BECAUSE THIS WHOLE THING WAS POLITICIZED AND THEY LET PARTY POLITICS DICTATE TO THEM HOW TO VIEW THE VACCINE INSTEAD OF PEER REVIEWED SCIENCE. I hope that if you are on the fence about the vaccine then this may help sway you. If not that’s fine. Not looking for an argument or to hear about anyone’s “research”. I wish everyone on this board health and long lives. Go gamecocks.

Here's a look-back video (8 minutes) of that time period on YouTube...

Just my thoughts on the potential set up if we expand. I’ve ranked each division based on where I project the Gamecocks and other teams in the pecking order once expansion occurs…

SEC

East

1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Florida
4. South Carolina
5. Auburn
6. Kentucky
7. Tennessee
8. Vandy

West

1. Oklahoma
2. Texas A&M
3. LSU
4. Texas
5. Missouri
6. Mississippi
7. Arkansas
8. Mississippi State

Or

South East

1. Georgia
2. Florida
3. South Carolina
4. Tennesse

South

1. Alabama
2. Auburn
3. Kentucky
4. Vandy

Mid South

1. LSU
2. Missouri
3. Mississippi
4. Mississippi State

South West

1. Oklahoma
2. Texas A&M
3. Texas
4. Arkansas

I down with either way, but the two things I like most about the Pod alignment is it allows for more expansion and we could also create an expanded SEC Championship. We could have a semifinal round with the winners of all Pods playing the last Saturday of the November (say two play at Jerry’s World in Dallas and two play at BOA stadium in Charlotte) then the two winners play the first Saturday of December for the championship at Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta.

With updated info by Wes
Qb1 Luke Doty Beamer publicly announced

Still stick to my opinion I’m glad Jason Brown was here for more competition and a good back or maybe Colten Gauthier. I’m thinking Beamer is doing what Bobo should have in the sense having the senior mentor the sophomore.


RB- Kevin Harris, Marshawn Lloyd, Zaquandre Whit ( personally think we have a three headed monster after the spring game)

WR-
Dakeron Joyner
Jaleen Brooks
Rico Powers

since depth chart only allow 3 this was tough (obviously more WR will get playing tim
Ahmarean Brown don’t sleep on GT transfer in his freshman season he beat his freshman Megateon aka Calvin Johnson td record in a season.
WR- Otre Smith is kinda of a dark hoarse after being 100% healthy again and we know his potential but hasn’t played in 2 year
WR- Xavier Legette
I sincerely hope Josh Vann can finally put it all together along with Randrecous Davis both Seniors

TE- Nick Muse and EJ Jenkins ( who I’m personally excited about and how they can use him)

O-Line-
LT- Dylan Wonnom
LG- Jazston Turnetine
OC- Jordan Rhodes
RG- Jovaughn Gwyn
RT- Jaylen Nicholas

***DEFENSE***
Edge Enagbre/ Aron Sterling
DT- Zach Pickens/ Alex Huntley
DT- Tonka Hemingway/Rick Sandidge (didn’t know he was up to 297 lbs. and Rick Sandige hasn’t lived up to potential yet.
Edge- Jordan Burch/ Jordan Strachan

(although I think they are talking about playing him inside some of that’s true I think seriously mess up the DT chart. Personally think he is going to do great things no matter where he is at edge too Edit: he was listed at 270 at the time too)

LB- Sherrod Greene/Debo Williams
Brad Johnson/ Mohamed Kaba


Corner-
Cam Smith/Isaiah Norris
Prunty/David Spaulding

Safety- honestly it’s probably battle between rj roderick, jaylin Dickerson, Jaylen Ross, Jaylen Foster... but:

we have 3 DBs listed 2 walk on both redshirt freshman and the other true freshman so I’m guessing all our safety will be our backfield

so corners and safeties are about to get a lot of playing time.

3 of the non conference games, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Missouri, and one of the three against either Florida or Auburn (at home) or Tennessee or A&M away, the team will get better as the year progresses, Tennessee isn't a power house, and I am not certain that Auburn is that good either. If Harris and Lloyd can stay healthy and carry the running game, I think Doty, with at least some ability to pass and make plays in the read option will make the offense competitive. So that is my assessment, not that it matters and is subject to change if we lose to ECU the second week. It would take a small miracle to beat either UGA or the Upstate Rival this year, the talent gap overall is extremely wide.

When can Beamer & Company start telling recruits that they can play in the expanded SEC?
Do you see an advantage?
Comments!
This discussion is way over my head!
I would like to see NCST & another ? Once the taters and ND bolt away!

Christmas in July

Although it doesnt make a lot of money and nobody watches it. What will they do with the Longhorn network? The SEC schools aren't dumb, no way they will vote Texas in without getting that little network. Maybe call it SEC 2 network?

I was in a grocery store in Forest Acres and saw either him or his twin in the store

the SEC will have 2 UTs. There won't be any confusion when someone says UT because we Gamecocks refer to Tennessee as UTjr and Texas is the real UT and the bigger UT, and we refer to Texas as just UT. Does anyone have a problem with that?

If rumors of a 12 team playoff are true combined with SEC/Big 10 type conferences expanding and being even more competitive, do the Cincinnati and UCF's of the world who have an opportunity to win 11 or 12 games a year now have a greater chance of getting into the playoff picture ?

Screw UT and OKLA. get your sorry asses vaccinated

Looking for recommendations from some of you with outdoor tv’s.
how they hold in weather, how they are with sunlight viewing, and what kind you may recommend?

after the SEC completes it's expansion. They will set up their own governance.

I guess, as it pertains to us, the prevailing opinion is: UT and OU to the SEC means more money for the conference and, in turn, more money for USC, which makes us better.

Problem is, every other program in the conference will get richer by the same amount we will. The extra money doesn’t help shift our standing in the conference one iota.

And who cares how much richer we’re getting relative to Clemson? How much is that helping us right now?

What are your plans? Just thought I would ask as I start to prep for tomorrow. I’m firing up my smoker and making pulled pork, ribs and chicken. Appetizer will be a large platter of antipasto (aka charcuterie these days ); various cheeses, salamis, nuts, dried fruit, olives, roasted red peppers, papadew peppers with goat cheese and a few other things. Sides will include cole slaw, macaroni salad, cheesy corn bread, white corn, hot pickles, and sliced tomatoes and onions.

If this Texas rumor is true
