What do you think?

Right now the most obvious best group is RB. Close is TE.

Most improved: I'm going to go with QB and pass blocking with the OC (I know that's two groups but you can't have one without the other and it's my darn post ). Connor Shaw had such happy feet his first season splitting time with Garcia but once the job was his he stepped up be the best to wear the uniform. With the relationship Shaw and Doty have and the potential and work ethic of Doty I am psyched to see his improvement this season. Close second would be D-Line. They have the potential to be a terror if the LB, Safety and DB's can play 'average' SEC ball and not stink it up.

Worst: With the candidates being DB, Safety, LB, WR. I'm going to go with LB. I think DB is going to perform better than expected because it's been such a focus. WR I think we are going to have some holdovers outperform Smith, Davis, Vann, Brooks. I think our big weakness this year is going to be defending the short passing game.

I'm trying to keep my expectations down but the less than 30 days to football adrenaline has got me going. If a couple of the groups that were so terrible last season can make it to 'average' we might have an outside shot at a bowl. That would be such a boom for Beamer and a real selling point that this thing is going in the right direction for the 2023 class recruiting. I'm getting excited.

Jensen Castle, a former White Knoll student, and now University of Kentucky junior, won her semifinal match against the 2nd ranked women’s amateur in 19 holes to make the 36 hole championship match tomorrow.

Shout out to Jensen Castle from West Columbia playing for the women's amateur title today.

The USA women's basketball team plays for the gold tonight starting at 10:30 pm. That means the game won't end until Sunday morning. Sunday just happens to be A'ja's 25th birthday. An Olympic gold medal for a birthday present, how cool would that be?

Any minute now.

Anyone else dissatisfied with their steak? Service impeccable, appetizers and salad great, pepper jack cream corn skillet really good, desert delicious, coffee hand pressed. Steak ok, just ok for a dry aged 16oz ribeye. I’ve cooked better from Publix.

We are so very fortunate to have her as our coach and ambassador. Yes, give her extensions and risers in contract. Thanks Coach Staley. And AJA!!!!!

I have witnessed so many unvaccinated people (family, firends and people I don’t know) just in the last week at different age levels and different areas in our State as well as Florida get seriously ill and/or die from Covid 19. As a healthcare professional I am pleading with anyone who hasn’t been vaccinated to change your mind and get vaccinated ASAP! Whatever your reasons pleae save yourself and others.

Any update on his progress. I was excited he chose to come home. Looking forward to him reekin havoc

You're welcome..........

Welcome to another edition of Gamecock Central Braves Baseball ⚾️ Chat 💬. I am your host @Pfunk Cock along with a plethora of regular participants in the chat.

Have you ever bought a new car 🚘 and keep looking at it from the window every waking moment ? You look at the new paint job, the shining new rims and that glow that lights up the driveway that makes you giddy about waking up the next day just to turn over that engine , turn on that new sound system and look at the admiration of others as you cruise by tour neighbors and at every stoplight.😎 That is what it felt like to finally have a winning record on this trying and difficult season. I woke to see a 55-54 record and 1.5 game deficit in the standings and I feel a little taller than I was yesterday, a little more enthusiastic about the outcome of the season and my coffee tasted so much better today. 😎😎 The winning feeling is back. The birds are singing in tune the rain doesn’t bother me and the 😈 is quivering in his Penny loafers 👞.😂😂😂😂 You can almost feel the tension that emanates each season around this time frame. The August Swoon where hope fades and playoff hopes plummet 🤭🤭.
The world is beginning to right itself and the Braves are as well.

The Nationals are in town to face off against the resurgent Atlanta Braves. Their lineup is not nearly as fearsome as it was earlier this season as they have offloaded veterans and their contracts after injuries had rendered them non competitive. They are coming of a series against the Phillies in which they were swept even though they lead late in 3 of the games. They have a very bad bullpen and trades and injuries have also affected them offensively. This does not mean they won’t compete and try to knock off teams as Professional baseball players do have pride and will not just roll over. They are just not as competitive as they were . They will throw Erik Fedde. He has not faired well against the Braves averaging 6 innings and surrendering 5 runs per game in two starts this season. This is a different lineup he will face tonight but I expect the results to be the same. The Braves will throw Kyle Muller who has really taken a giant leap forward in his development and demeanor on the bump. He challenges hitters and attacks the strike zone. The only drawback is he does not eat a lot of innings but as he gains more experience and increases his endurance he is on pace to be a very dominant pitcher. At this juncture the bullpen will need to be ready around the 6th inning because of pitch counts and fatigue for the massive mound monster. He has never faced the Nationals so his will be an experience for him and his opponents as they feel each other out. Let’s continue that winning feeling with tonight’s starting lineup.
