    What's everyone's thought's on the game today? Not what the line is or what your neighbor tells you but your own personally feelings. ***

    Proud graduate of 1976 here. I think we are going to win. Conceding a contest to Clemson is never an option but my biased opinion aside our defense will win the game. I have a feeling Sellars is going to have a solid performance and maybe we will have an unsung hero (probably a running back)...

    Amari Thomas

    I wonder if his choice on Friday is simply the announcement of the college that has given him the most NIL money during his senior year of high school.

    Savanah Bananas

    I was there with a group that included 6 kids under 9 years old. They and the adults enjoyed the show. The atmosphere was great with music pumped-up between pitches keeping everyone energized. A lot of the game was obviously staged (runners didn't run all out when they hit a ground ball to allow...

    First job

    1st summer job was grading peaches in a peach shed making $1.15/hr. I was 13 years old.

    George Foreman dead at 76

    He did receive adoration from the Olympics and after he beat Joe Frazier the first time but there was a period of time - I think it was after the Ali fight-where he was not well liked. The crowds were hostile toward him (he fought 5 people in an exhibition and he didn't receive much love)...

    George Foreman dead at 76

    He transformed from one of the most disliked athletes to one of the most affable sports figures. He seemed to be plain mean until the loss to Ali (still surprised that happened). He stayed out of boxing for a while and then became a gracious competitor with frightening punching power even as an...

    Monday analysis: Be honest, what were you thinking with 1:10 left in the game?

    I was not hopeful. Since Beamer had not gone for the field goal on an earlier 4th down opportunity, I took it as not having confidence with the kicker. Now we find ourselves with a little more than a minute to get in position to kick a game tying field goal with the shunned kicker. Even during...

    It might have been more accurate to portray our characters as "Good Defense" and "Bad Offense". The mustard bottle was a great reference.

    Kevin Long Dead at 69

    Sad news indeed. Kevin played for us when I was student at South Carolina. My condolences to his loved ones.

    Beamer entering Year 4

    Unfortunately the NIL and transfer portal rules took away some of the impact of Shane's "we are family" approach to recruiting. Money is a much bigger influence than a fraternal relationship with many athletes. Shane's biggest recruiting challenge is not players but with NIL donors. Maybe the...

    2024-2025 WBB Team (2022-present)

    The emotional display by Dawn and Raven declaring that the revenge tour is over emphasized how devastating the Iowa loss was to the team and staff last year. I'm glad the returning players and Dawn have found closure with this win. It was great team effort today and this season Tessa has been...

    2024-2025 WBB Team (2022-present)

    Regarding the LSU post game conference, I can respect Angel Reece's comments. I don't like her but she stood up for her team's performance. She didn't make excuses for the loss. Mulkey on the other hand failed to acknowledge Flau'jee Johnson's push on Ashlyn Watkins as the cause for the rumble...

    2024-2025 WBB Team (2022-present)

    The lesson from this game is it's not over until it's over. From having a 23 point lead over a pretty good team to having 1.1 seconds to win, there were a lot of swings in our mental and emotional states of minds. It is clear that teams in the post season will not be intimidated by our...

    2024-2025 WBB Team (2022-present)

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Ashlyn Watkins and Chloe Kitts alternate starting a few games during the post season now that the 6th player conference award has been given. Depending on the opponent perhaps occasionally changing the line-up will prevent some of the slow starts we have seen. Both...

    Ok, here we go! Your 1 to 10 scale in regards to the new Hershey's Popping Candy...

    I didn't see any candy but there is a nice display of honey buns.
