Tailgate Talks with DiMarco and Garcia

QB1 joins the Tailgate! LaNorris Sellers is up next on Tailgate Talks this week as the Gamecocks gear up for a prime time date with top-10 Texas A&M under the lights at Willy-B. From the huddle to off-field hobbies, Pat and Stephen cover it all.

Known as one of the most electrifying players in Gamecock football history, the name "Ace" is synonymous with big plays and jaw-dropping punt returns. Stephen Garcia and Pat DiMarcosit down with their former teammate to relive some of the loudest moments in Willy-B history and catch up with former do-it-all playmaker, Ace Sanders.

A couple years removed from his 8 year NFL career, and a decade since he donned the Garnet & Black, Mike Davis is ready to look back on his wild ride of a football journey. From the highest of highs to some tough times, he opens up to Stephen and Pat on Tailgate Talks about what the game gave him, and what life is like now.

A leader in one of Coach Spurrier's first recruiting classes at Carolina, Darian Stewart set the tone on and off the field for the Gamecocks during his time in Columbia. From the birth of Sandstorm in 2009 versus Ole Miss to his 10-year NFL career that produced a Super Bowl ring, D-Stew had quite the football journey. On this episode of Tailgate Talks, DiMarco and Garcia sit down with one of their favorite defensive teammates to look back at it all.

In the newest episode of Tailgate Talks with DiMarco and Garcia, we dive deeper into Patrick DiMarco's life story. From growing up and being lightly recruited, to going undrafted and turning in a ten year NFL career, we talk about it all. Yes, we even made the former Falcon relive the Tom Brady 28-3 Super Bowl comeback.

Two of the best quarterbacks to ever come through South Carolina happened to be teammates. It led to some of the best years the program has ever seen. But with only one football to go around, it also procured competition, growth, and maybe a tiny bit of animosity. However, all these years later, Connor Shaw and Stephen Garcia are closer than they’ve ever been. With the help of their favorite fullback, they sit down to talk about those great times as a Gamecock, what life is like now, and everything in between on this episode of Tailgate Talks.

It's been 16 years, but every time South Carolina plays LSU on the gridiron an infamous moment gets retold like it was yesterday. Stephen Garcia vs the referee. All these years we've all wondered what was going through Wilbur Hackett Jr.'s head, and why he laid the boom on the Gamecock quarterback that day in 2008. Well wonder no more because we tracked him down, and his side of the story is fascinating. Jump into Tailgate Talks with us to hear these two hash out a moment they'll never live down. We also have reaction from South Carolina's massive win over Kentucky, and preview the matchup against LSU with former Tiger, Jacob Hester.

A quarterback roundtable for the ages. Garcia, Shaw, Taneyhill, Mitchell, Orth (okay, we'll throw in DiMarco too). It's a discussion Carolina football fans can't afford to miss. From their challenges to their greatest moments. From recruiting stories to stories that tested our bleep button. You've always wanted to be a fly on the wall for a conversation like this. Pull up a chair for the newest episode of Tailgate Talks.

Three days until gameday in Columbia! Football is nearly back and Shane Beamer has big goals set out for his team this year. But before DiMarco and Garcia pick Coach's brain on the 2024 season, let's not forget these three go way back. Coach Beamer came to Columbia as an assistant the same year Pat and Stephen enrolled as freshmen at Carolina, and that gives us a whole new perspective on the glory days -- and even the shenanigans -- from back in the day.
