Regardless of how you feel about this person's lifestyle and political views, this is just sad

The mother of Olympic shot-putter Raven Saunders has died.

Saunders, a South Carolina native who won a silver medal Sunday in the women’s shot put at the Tokyo Olympics, confirmed the news in a Twitter post Tuesday.

“Hoping off social media for a while to take care of my mental and my family,” she wrote. “My mama was a great woman and will forever live through me. My number one guardian angel.”

If Texas & OU join, would not be suprised to see TX A&M & Mizzou to the ACC...

If Texas and OU join, do you think it's possible for A&M and Mizzou move over to the ACC.

I am not a fan of Texas joining the SEC. Our loyalties should be with A&M since they came over wanting to be the only school in the SEC from Texas. Where ever Texas goes/has been, there's always been problems (just ask the aggie fans).

IMO I still think the better move is to try to convince NCSU and VT to come over to the SEC.

I know the minority here wants us to go back into the ACC. I am for that too. But UNC is much like Texas (in the BIG12) , they've taken over and controlled the ACC. I think, I'd rather see Texas in the ACC so they can bitch slap UNC around.

Course the ACC is so watered down with the private schools that aren't very good in football, that adding a Texas or Oklahoma would automatically mean, Clemson would not big the big cheese in football anymore...too bad for Dabo if this happens.

Best case in my judgement would be to tell Texas and OU no...if not A&M and Mizzou to the ACC...which might have the ACC calling us, UGA or UF...who knows?

OT: Background check turn around?

I can retire from the Fire Department this month. I applied for a management position for BMW in Spartanburg. I received a conditional offer, pending the background and drug screen. What is the typical turn around on something like that? I have not applied for a job since 1995, so I'm out of the loop on this. I'm sure it hasn't been long enough yet. But, I'm little kid excited to start something new.

Braves 🆚 Brewers 8/01/21 Makeover Finale Lineup

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. Another special shout-out and thank you 🙏🏿 to @Wildbunch2 for a wonderful job of hosting last evening and bringing home the win. 😎. I will try my best to live up to those standard and continue our winning ways. Today they will again try to right the ship and even their record on the season.

The makeover lineup takes another look as Albies will leadoff for the first time this season. The Braves will lean heavy on the right hand hitting lineup as Pederson will have the day off against left hand pitcher with Heredia manning centerfield. The Braves defeated Anderson 5-1 earlier this season in Milwaukee but that was with Acuna, Ozuna and D’Arnaud. Will the makeover lineup make a difference? Well let’s just say there was a serious reshuffle and the lineup has tremendous power and really looks potent. Newly acquired Soler will bat second and Swanson back up to the 5 hole. The newly resurrected Swanson has been swinging a sweet stick these days as he hit his 2nd Grand slam since the All star break and now has 20 and nearly 60 RBI. That is a lot for any pitcher to maneuver with so many hitters catching fire. The Braves will counter with Charlie Morton who has been magnificent this season for the Braves. He has been the ace and an ace is what the Braves need now. Hopefully he has his Ace game today as it is time for the team to put together a long streak. The surge starts today bad try e quick home-stand ends and The Hank Aaron celebration weekend commences.

Cocky Talk

What ever happened to Cockytalk.com? I use to like to go over and lurk. It was like the Wild, Wild West. Bombastic and crazy conversations that was fun to read.
When Spurrier had open practices there was a fan named Spurticus that would go to every practice and write up a very thorough post for everyone to read on Cockytalk.
Very few filters. I remember they had a Babes Board that was very interesting.
I thought someone was going to revive it.
