Chris starts the show by breaking down the Gamecocks picking up two big time commits last Thursday afternoon in three start TE Eric Shaw and four star DT Tonka Hemingway. Why is South Carolina's success recruiting in state so important to the future prosperity of the program? Chris also gives his thoughts on Kiel Pollard's injury, the Coaches Pre-Season All-SEC Team, new basketball uniforms and more. Finally, former Gamecocks DT Nathan Pepper joins the show (33:49-1:14:15) to chat about his recruitment to USC, playing for Coach Spurrier, what he learned from the '06 Clemson game, tearing his ACL in'07, finding redemption in Oxford, his two defensive touchdowns, being a "football dad", current state of the program and much more.
