    I'm a Gamecock fan and have been one since circa 1960, and I will be a Gamecock fan for the rest of my life.***

    I’m not quite as old as some of you fellows. But my dad took me to my first game back in the George Rogers era. Started going to all the games in 1982 (the late Coach Richard Bell era). Feel in love with the Gamecocks during Black Magic and the Fire Ants! My father and brother are gone now. So...

    Recruiting hits (misses) keep on coming

    How about a school (any school) go totally divergent! Hear me out. They say NO to NIL. Zip, zilch, not a penny! They recruit only players who wish to play simply for a scholarship and the love of the game. They make it a matter of pride. Wear it like a badge. A working man’s team. Even if they...

    Recruiting hits (misses) keep on coming

    Recruiting was doing pretty good after Beamer’s first crap class. But the magic seems to be disappearing. If this class falls below 30, and we have another losing season, I think the fans turn on him. That said, I sort of believe he needs at least 7-8 wins this year.

    Another recruiting win by Beamer!

    I was hoping to hear some good news…for a change. Don’t do this, man!

    Recruiting takes another brutal hit

    College Football is DEAD! Whatever we have now, it ain’t student athletes playing for their school. It’s greed, greed, greed - gone amuck! I might be about done. Thinking about turning my attention to fishing. Or gardening. When the kneeling started I stopped watching the NFL. Haven’t watched a...

    Looking forward to Gamecock football this year.

    Have a sister-in-law and nephew who are cat lovers. Personally, I have no use for a cat. I wouldn’t swerve to hit one, or kick one out of my path. But I find them pretty useless.

    Looking forward to Gamecock football this year.

    Impossible to predict this coming year’s team. New OC. New OL coach. Basically, a new OL. New RB carrying the rock. The offensive side of the ball is going to be entirely new. I’m cautiously optimistic. The defense should be a bit more “like the past.”

    Another Decommitment

    And?

    Another Decommitment

    Undo NIL (a full ride scholarship is plenty), let video game makers risk lawsuits if they use likeness (we can live without the games), and bring back the “sit one year” rule for transfers. And just like that - college football is saved.

    Another Decommitment

    This class has been hitting several NIL potholes. I sure hope the coaches can work some magic and shore it up.

    Vincent Chen info?

    I see he started playing football as a high school senior. Played two years at the FCS level. So I presume he has 3 year of eligibility left. I read that Vandy and Auburn showed some interest. Interesting pick up. He’s currently listed at 6’8” and 350lbs.

    Vincent Chen info?

    So when you look him up there’s no information about other schools recruiting him. Nor is there and service rankings. Does anyone know anything about this young man? He’s a giant! I see he’s an OL transfer from Stetson University. But that’s all I can find.

    Favorite Gamecock football game of all time

    I was at that ‘84 game. We intercepted their QB like 3,000 times! Fun night.

    Favorite Gamecock football game of all time

    Beating Clemson in Willy B in 1987. Man it was cold that night. I think the score was 20-7. The stadium was rocking big time.
