In response to an e-mail from a listener downplaying South Carolina's chances on the football field in 2025 based mostly on irrelevant history, but also on the legitimate concern about departing talent, JC Shurburtt gives an honest take on the subject while also pointing out that it represents an opportunity not just for the 2025 team to win games and contend, but also for the program to cross a certain threshold. Also, it's a huge day of Carolina sports with the Gamecocks starting SEC Tournament play in women's basketball, softball visiting the Roman Empire of the sport and carrying an undefeated record with it and baseball starting a final pre-SEC series at Ray Tanner Field/Founders Park.
