Players and Shane Beamer previewing the South Carolina vs. Texas A&M game. Updates to follow.

Go Gamecocks!!!!

Looks like it opened at 4 and is currently 3 or 3 1/2 depending one where you look. They are riding high right now. First in the SEC. Ranked 10th in the country. As confident as they have been all year. It's a big ask from our team to win. I'm surprised the line is so close.
TAMU is 7-1 5-0. Carolina is 4-3 2-3. Game is on ABC at 7:30 in Williams-Brice. Hopefully we live up to the billing.

Two good weeks for Beamer and Co. Have to give credit where it is due. Had a good game plan for Bama and had the team ready for both games. Our players were ready to eat nails today. Got that big lead and then didn't over think it or fk it up. Color me impressed. Well done.

Going to miss my Big Joe and onion rings 😢

Vs Bucs

My wife and I will be down to watch tomorrow. Hopefully there will a nice crowd. Standing right next to the band when they are playing is quite a treat.

The band has been working hard on practice for the parade and still have more work to do but this will be a big help. I talked to a band member today and they will be playing a number of songs- mostly some of their music they play at games at the statehouse after the parade.

They are also still raising money for the Macy's trip. It's an expensive trip for 375 members. My wife and I recently donated along with my in-laws (father in law majored in music at USC and was in the band decades ago). My wife and I have decided to travel to New York to see it in person this year.

You can donate on the band's link online- and donate in someone's honor or memory. They still need donations.


Before they storm New York City on Thanksgiving, the University of South Carolina Marching Band is practicing their Macy's Day Parade routine through downtown Columbia.

The “Big Apple Sneak Peek” will kick off at 2 p.m. Oct. 26.

More than 375 student musicians will march down Greene Street, starting at Pickens Street, before hooking a right on Sumter Street and ending at the State House. After the march, the band will play a free concert on the State House's lawn, according to the university.

The dress rehearsal comes ahead of the band's appearance in the 2024 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, which kicks off early morning Nov. 28.

Checking in from Founders Park. First action against an opponent of the Paul Mainieri era. Gamecocks will take on Air Force today in two seven-inning games. Here's the lineup for South Carolina. Reminder this is all still pretty loose, they might roll some innings and there's also 10 players in the South Carolina lineup to get some more guys at-bats.

One to go!!

That's a terrible look for those refs. Made the defensive pass interference call on the field. The crew discussed it. They announced the call. Fans threw bottles on the field that took several minutes to clean up. Meanwhile, the refs chatted amongst each other and reversed the call. I 100% believe they looked at the video board replay to assess and use that in their reversal. I don't believe for a second that someone just remembered something they saw after the first discussion that could have been brought up in the second discussion.

Whether or not you agree that the call was correct or not, that's bullshit. A lot of PI calls and no calls are controversial. We have rules about what is reviewable and what isn't reviewable. Once you announce the call, it should be done unless it's eligible for review. Otherwise, the turds of the coaching world will encourage fans to do that, just like they use the fake injuries. Kirby probably going to get fined for his comments about it, but he is correct. Every team has to deal with bad calls that aren't reviewable. What they did last night was allow fans to protest a call that wasn't reviewable and get a reversal. Just can't be allowed. That entire crew should be suspended.

Has Luke doty played this year?

WE DIG PIG!!! .... Cow meat IS NOT Bar-Be-Que. Now that, that is settled, what were the odds of Vandy beating Bama AND CAROLINA beating the crap outta OKLAHOMO in the same century??? ... let alone the same season .... Double DAWG Down ... Let alone the SAME MONTH???

W0W!!! Just WOW!!! . WELCOME TO THE SEC OKLAHOMO AND TEX'sASS!!!

We had a OC that could call legit plays week-in and week out.

We haven’t had a defense this impressive since The 80’s? I think this defense beats Clowney and those.

LOL. This has to be fixed. At least sit out until the next change of possession or maybe 2 complete possessions for each team to prevent it on important 3rd downs. Player safety has to be the top concern, so that can justify it. Not sure how the refs keep up with it, but I imagine injuries drastically reduce once implemented.

Hard to pick this one. Obviously as a Carolina fan I expect us to win but who knows......
The Sooners are 4-2 and 1-2, with losses to UT and UT. They are so good on offense that Carolina is above them in the stats!
ESPN gives us a 35% chance to win this game but honestly it feels like a toss up to me.

The guy is a legit NFL first rounder. Maybe he goes lower than that due to teams' immediate needs but should be the #1 or #2 safety taken in the '25 draft. Great size, tackling ability and an all around ball hawk. Also an Irmo product (always root for my fellow Irmo/DF athletes).

Apparently Coach Beamer was talking about players redshirting. You know the deal, they basically stopped playing after they have played in 4 games so they can get another year of eligibility! I always thought redshirting was up to the coaching staff, not the player!

I mean can a PLAYER decide that after playing in 4 games that he is going to redshirt so he can transfer to a different school and get another year of NIL? THAT’S ABSURD!! Redshirting is supposed to be used when players get hurt and haven’t played more than 4 games, or for new players who aren’t “ready” to play yet. Which Gamecock players are trying to SCAM the process and making Coach Beamer so mad? BTW, SCAM is my word not coach’s.
