    Future of the SEC and ESPN

    I see Div 1 football splitting. P5 league and lower league, whatever they want to call the 2. Schools without the money won’t have to cancel football, they’ll just compete on a smaller level. Years from now when only ESPN/ABC show the SEC games I’ll reminisce of hearing this tune on Saturdays

    Anyone else not making the move to On3 ?

    I don’t plan to make the move. It’s been fun talking about (and mainly lurking lol) random nonsense around here. Some of the folks on FGF are class acts though

    Clemson WBB - Wow

    I’m pretty sure the attendance for that game was more due to it being the first ever event at the arena, and that admission was only $1 so fans would come out and see the new place

    Clemson WBB - Wow

    One of the worst comparisons I’ve ever seen. Dawn Staley is worth every penny. She has expanded the fan base and created not just a winning program but a championship program. Proof that winning will fill the stands. The same can happen in men’s basketball with the right coach

    Serious idea for Colonial Life Arena refurbish

    With all the talk of “needed” renovation. They did put up a new video board and ribbon boards as well as make the area/roads right outside the arena more conducive to foot traffic. Then of course raised a $350,000 statue. I know it hasn’t been a ton but it has been some, and it has definitely...

    Serious idea for Colonial Life Arena refurbish

    I didn’t realize the NCAA scheduled March madness sites so far in advance. They already have the next 5 seasons booked. I would love to see them come back for 1st/2nd rounds but it won’t be until at least 2027. They typically pick one site in the Carolinas. Next 5 years is 2022 Greenville 2023...

    WBB GAME VS UCONN CANCELLED WILL PLAY OLE MISS INSTEAD

    They really need to make up the Ole miss game to stay in the running for SEC regular season championship

    Serious idea for Colonial Life Arena refurbish

    I just wish they would use the arena for hockey. Would be awesome to get a hockey team back in the city, and even though it’s way more than ever needed it would provide a place for the USC club hockey team to play that has more than 100 seats like the Plex

    Serious idea for Colonial Life Arena refurbish

    I was just thinking it could work really well without affecting concerts. Normally the upper sections behind the stage are closed anyway. So even if those seats are reduced, it wouldn’t effect the number of seats they typically sell for a concert. I’m sure it’s happened but I can’t remember a...

    OT: So far 1 1/2 inches of snow

    Been here for 7 years and we’ve had a dusting twice. I really miss having snow more often. Never realized how little snow the lower half of the state got

    Please Bama don’t let that ring end up in Athens

    I have the feeling Georgia wins it, but I also had the feeling we would get killed in the duke’s Mayo bowl. Fortunately I was wrong, and hopefully will be wrong about the natty too. Roll Tide Roll!

    6 inches of snow at my house here in Erwin, TN

    Jealous. Riding an 8 year snow drought here in Columbia. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I think the last time we had accumulation here was 2014

    Coach took a shot in the mayo dump....

    Dobbs deleted the original tweet. What did he say to get that response from Beamer?

    OT: what is on your sports bucket list?

    Not number 1 on my list but since I haven’t seen anyone else list it, Kentucky Derby. First is CWS (hopefully with Gamecocks playing in it). Also, Fenway Rose Bowl Wrigley Red River Shootout (Texas Oklahoma). I love it that they still play it in cotton bowl stadium would like to make it down...

    2007 USC vs UNC game

    I think the article has it wrong. I remember the original agreement being 2007 and 2010. We were supposed to open with UNC in Columbia in 2010 but ESPN wanted them to play LSU in Atlanta. So we got southern miss on a Thursday night instead(Lattimore’s 1st game) and wouldn’t get the home game...

    Just looked over the bowl schedule and

    I knew about the 2 team rule but that’s still just so Carolina to always be on the short end in situations like that. The garnet way is when they deserve to be in but aren’t picked for <insert any imaginable reason here>. BYU could complain about the current NY6 set up. Utah does look really...

    Apparently we’ve sold all our tickets and had to request more

    As far as I can tell, the Gamecock club did not send out emails selling tickets. Not to me at least. I have 2 email accounts that flow to my phone’s email app. I just looked closer and I received 3 emails from gamecocksonline to my main account about the bowl game tickets, but my email account...

    Apparently we’ve sold all our tickets and had to request more

    Was going to point out that they are not selling any in the upper deck (at least that I’ve seen). My guess is they won’t consider opening the uppers unless they sell out the lower bowl. It’s crazy how far we’ve come in the drop in demand. I think about how hard it was to get a ticket to that...
