I'm really excited to see Joyner playing running back I think he will be great. He's been my favorite Gamecock since he stepped on campus. Of course he's an amazing athlete, but he is also an outstanding young man. His loyalty to South Carolina during this age of the transfer portal is amazing...

I was looking at a depth chart and I see they list Joyner as a running back. I like that idea. Obviously, he is most effective when running as the 2021 Belk Bowl showed us. As is always the case his success will depend on our offense line. Anyway, I really like this young man and hope he has a...

The 49ers just beat Dallas to advance in the NFL playoffs. Former Gamecock Deebo Samuel turned in a MVP performance. The end of the game was pretty wild. I think it was the best playoff game so far. On a side note, I thought Tony Romo's obvious bias for the Cowboys was terrible. I know many...

I just saw the OU quarterback Caleb Williams  has entered the portal. This is a shocker. I guess Riley's departure is more of a problem that first thought. Rattler's leaving wasn't that shocking as he didn't want to be a backup, but Williams was going to be the starter. I did see there's a...

I just saw that Dan Reeves has died. I remember seeing him play quarterback for the Gamecocks when I was a teenager. 

Merry Christmas Everyone! While I'm waiting on our six grandkids to decend on us like blitzing linebackers, I have a question. Have the Cocks ever had a five star offensive lineman? Surely, we've had a few. However, I cannot name one. Like a lot of you I believe building an SEC caliber offensive...

Will we get a "signature win" this year and if so who will we beat? Like most of you I suffered through the last two seasons without much about which to be excited. The 2019 win in Athens and last years defeat of Auburn were the only bright spots. As this season progresses I wonder ( and hope)...

Well, Brady and the Bucs just beat the Packers to advance to the Super Bowl. I was really hoping for a Green Bay vs Kansas City match up which would mirror the very first one so many years ago. I actually watched that one on TV in 1967. I guess Brady is the GOAT after all. 

Just heard on Game Day that Texas has parted ways with Tom Herman. It's being reported Alabama OC Steve Sarkisian will become the new head coach. I'm a little surprised they didn't give Herman one more year. So much for coaches on the hot seat being safe during COVID-19. Maybe that rumor about...

For the next twelve hours I'm going to be an Ohioan (if that's a word). I'm pulling for the Bearcats and the Buckeyes. I guess I should support a team from our conference and a team from the state in which I was born. However, I just cannot bring myself to pull for Georgia or Clemson.  Just...

Well, most of us begged for a playoff and now we have one. However, I believe the current CFP has ruined college football. While the BCS wasn't perfect , in hindsight; it may have been better. The CFP has made the bowls (of which there are too many) even less relevant.  Also, we now have the...

Occasionally, I go to the Gamecock Central site. I'm not a member but one can read the Fighting Gamecocks forum comments without paying to join. Man, it's so negative over there.  I'm probably going to avoid ever joining the site. Some posters hate everything. There are a few that are optimistic...

OK, I know this is supposed to be about the Gamecocks, but I've had a couple of beverages and had to post this. I think Devonte Smith should win the Heisman,  I get that it usually goes to a quarterback these days. However, I think he is the best college football player in the country. It's...

Well, it looks like Bama, Clemson and Ohio State are in. While I feel sure the committee will probably pick Notre Dame as #4, I think Texas A&M should get that slot. There are still games to finish but it's all about the money these days. This is another reason an eight team CFP would be...

Nobody knows who our next coach will be. There are at least four or five front runners according to the media and these forums. However, whomever is selected I really hope the new hire will keep Connor Shaw on his staff. Even if he is only an analyst, I think he should be involved in the...

I was very impressed with Luke Doty's performance last night.  He reminded me a lot of Connor Shaw. I hate that he finished with an interception, but he is an untested freshman. It's clear to me that right now we need a mobile quarterback. Hill probably is a more accurate passer, but because we...

My apologies for being negative, but I just don't see how we are going to have college football this year. The virus is growing daily over a large part of the country with no relief in sight. I truly hate this because I love the game and I was very optimistic about the Gamecocks chances this...

It looks to me like LSU is losing a lot of talent. We all knew Burrow and Edwards-Hilaire would be heading to the pros, now they're losing Moss too. Also, Joe Brady is coming here to Charlotte and the DC Dave Aranda is going to Baylor. This sort of reminds me of Auburn's 2010 National...

I was listening to Childers and Neuheisal this morning and they were talking about the SEC East. I was disappointed they didn't even mention South Carolina. I guess when you're 4 and 8 you shouldn't expect much love from sports commentators. Looking toward next year, they seem to think Georgia...

I was excited when the CFP replaced the Bowl Coalition, but now I'm not so sure. It seems to me like the three playoff games are all that matter anymore. For instance I totally missed the Orange Bowl. Maybe that's because I'm old, forgetful and the  teams playing (UF and UVa) are not two of my...
