    Happy Wednesday, friends. Welcome into the lobby for Between Services with Brent and Hamilton. We have some news in this week's episode. Dueling numbers will be shelved for a little while. What is replacing it? Find out inside. The college football world was hit with a nuclear bomb this week as it was announced that in 2027, the College Football Playoff would be expanding to 27. Who wanted this, and why? What does this mean for the Gamecocks? Will Notre Dame ever miss a playoff again? Brent and Hamilton vent their frustrations about it all. What a wild weekend of college football that was across the country. Brent and Hamilton discuss the fallout from an upset-filled weekend on the gridiron and preview the upcoming Tennessee vs South Carolina game in Columbia. The job market could be full of some very big names in college football this offseason, or before, and with some big decisions looming in some major athletics departments across the country, Brent and Hamilton predict who will be firing their coach or running it back in 2027. The Best Team From Each Conference, a NASCAR update, more Gamecock blind rankings, and Hamilton closes out a jam packed edition of Between Services with a devotion.

  • Episode 59 - Gamecocks Shock the Gators / Devotion: Facing Adversity
    Between Services is back for Episode 59. Hamilton and Brent welcome you into the lobby for another packed episode. Hamilton is on location with The Mouse this week, and indulged in some early 2000s country music on the way to the Sunshine State, so instead of dueling 59s, the guys discuss their favorite forgotten 2000s country hits. It was an eventful and successful weekend for the Gamecocks in The Swamp, as they squashed the Gators 38-19. The hot seat talk around Shane Beamer has died down, and the guys discuss if the Gamecocks can go on a run for the remainder of the regular season. Next, the guys dive into their best teams from each conference with some shakeups around the country. The Braves were eliminated from the playoffs by the Evil Empire in LA this past week, and now a very important offseason begins for the Braves, who have many needs to address. The guys discuss their wish list for the Braves this offseason with much uncertainty surrounding baseball for the 2027. Did You See That takes us to Lexington where the Wildcats pulled off another stunner in overtime, Oklahoma shocks Texas, and the Nick Saban documentary was the talk of college football heading into the weekend. Blind rankings and Brent brings the devotion this week as Between Services wraps up another wild weekend in sports, so come on into the lobby. We have saved you a seat.

  • Episode 57 - Wild Celebrations / Gamecock Reactions / The Trinity
    Between Services is back for episode 57. Welcome into the lobby, we are glad you are with us. Brent and Hamilton kick off this week's episode with dueling 57s. The vibes are not good in Columbia as the Gamecocks traveled to Tuscaloosa and were dragged 49-18. There is locker room drama and the seat is getting warm under Shane Beamer. Brent and Hamilton dive into the question of can this season be saved following two bad losses to open SEC play with a ranked Kentucky team coming to Columbia this weekend? Will there be a shakeup this week in the best teams from each conference? Next up, the Braves will face a familiar foe in the Wild Card round this week as they will host the Phillies at Truist Park. Can the Braves get over the playoff hump against their NL East rivals (When this episode drops, the Braves will already be up 1-0 thanks to an Austin Riley 8th inning home run)? Did You See That begins with PJ Fleck doing, ummmm, something very strange following a road win at Washington, Justin Verlander's emotional sendoff, and some wild celebrations in the Tennessee-Texas game this past weekend. Speaking of celebrations, famous celebrations are the theme of Blind Rankings this week. Hamilton wraps up this week's episode with a devotion in a packed episode of Between Services.

  • Episode 55 - Swain Shows Out / Ranking Running Backs / Welles Crowther
    Between Services is back for another episode this week, so happy Wednesday everyone, and welcome into the lobby. We kick off the week with dueling 55s. The Blythewood Bengals pulled off a miraculous comeback on Friday night at home against Woodmont and the guys recap the wild 4th quarter on Wilson Blvd. The Gamecocks got to 2-0 on the season with a 45-9 win over Towson, and now the schedule flips to the SEC gauntlet. Up first is the Mississippi State Bulldogs as they come to Columbia this Saturday and the guys preview the huge early season contest at Williams Brice. Hamilton completely breaks Bren't brain this week, and somehow it was on the topic of Gamecock football, find out just how. The guys recap the college football weekend as well as doing their weekly picks of the best teams from each conference, will there be any changes this week? The Braves got 2 massive wins over the Phillies this past weekend in 2 completely different ways to take a stranglehold on the NL East, but can they hold on? Hamilton and Brent dive into the math that it will take to finish the job for the Braves and reach the postseason. This past Friday marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11, so the devotion this week centers around Welles Crowther, the Man in the Red Bandana and his sacrifice to save many of his fellow workers inside the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001.

  • Episode 54 - Gamecocks Dominate / Quirky Batting Stances
    Happy Wednesday, everyone. Welcome into Between Services for episode 54. Brent and Hamilton kick off this week's episode with Dueling 54s. The Battle of the Axe went to the Blythewood Bengals in their 20-7 win over Westwood and Brent and Hamilton recap the intense showdown from this past Friday night. It was a sweltering day at Williams Brice for the Gamecocks' opening game this past Saturday against Kent State, and the Gamecock offense may have been hotter than the weather. Was the opponent or do the Gamecocks finally have a high powered offense under Shane Beamer? Clemson did not have as much fun in their opening game of the season as they traveled to Death Valley to take on LSU, and the team from the Upstate dropped their opener 51-10. Did You See That takes a look at Braylon Wimmer, Michigan's controversial win over Western Michigan, Zack Wheeler vs. Ronald Acuna, and MLB umpires being mad at hats. Brent and Hamilton pick their best teams from each conference, Blind Rankings, and Hamilton closes us out with a devotion this week.

  • Episode 53 - Potluck #1 / College Football Preview
    Welcome to perhaps the most chaotic episode of Between Services that will ever be recorded, and we have recorded from a NASCAR race before. Either way, we are glad you are with us. We were live on location at the Mathis Manor this week for a fantasy football draft and we were joined by some loyal listeners that were special guests. We spent the episode previewing the 2026 South Carolina Gamecock Football season, making our predictions for the season and offering some flaming hot takes on the 2026 season, not only for the Gamecocks, but for college football as a whole. The world lost a legend this week with the passing of Dolly Parton, and the crowd blind ranks Dolly Parton's top hits. Hamilton and the crowd pitch in for the devotion and there are a lot of chaotic conversations along the way, so enjoy this week's potluck edition of Between Services.

  • Episode 51 - Gamecock Heroes / Jayden Daniels / Proverbs 15:4
    Happy Wednesday, everyone. Welcome into Between Services. We are glad you are with us. We kick off this week with dueling 51s. The guys then jump into some Atlanta Braves discussion which begins around Chris Sale's controversial balk call followed by an ejection the next day in Yankee Stadium before a pitch was thrown. Can the Braves hold off the Phillies down the stretch run into September for the NL East? The guys dive into the final month and a half of the Braves schedule. Last week was a dark walk down Gamecock Football memory lane with villains, so Hamilton livens up the mood with Blind Rankings that cover Gamecock Super Heros. The Gamecocks got some unfortunate news this week with two WRs being lost for the season. Brent and Hamilton dive into what that means for Kendal Briles and the Gamecock offense going into the 2026 season. Switching gears, if there was a 7 game series on random physical activities between Brent and Hamilton, who would win? In Did You See That, Brent and Hamilton discuss the odd Jayden Daniels saga surrounding the #5 usage at LSU, and no, Jayden did not tell Brent and Hamilton that they could not use the #5 in episode 51 marketing. Hamilton brings the devotion with Proverbs. This week is the official release of The Spurrier Effect, and Brent and Hamilton reflect on the long, two year process that has led to this book becoming reality.
