Tailgate Talks with DiMarco and Garcia

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.

Grab your visors and a cold one, this could get interesting. The Head Ball Coach himself, Steve Spurrier, is on the line and these three have a lot to talk about. From reminiscing about some of the greatest moments in program history to explaining some unexpected early exits, we cover it all. Of course, we also left some time for “this, that, and the other” as well.

It's 147 degrees in Columbia, and Garcia is late, which can only mean one thing: it's the first day of fall camp! For the pilot episode of our new podcast, Tailgate Talks, it only felt right to start this thing on the practice field during the Gamecock's first morning of camp. Join Patrick DiMarco and Stephen Garcia as they not only reminisce about their (much different) camp experiences, but also take a look around the new facilities on campus and talk to a couple leaders of the current Gamecock team, Boogie Huntley and Luke Doty.
