It's the second edition of a two part episode with Gamecock baseball legend, Michael Roth! Part two picks up with Roth's senior year as the guys talk about nearly completing a three-peat in 2012 before Michael starts his professional career with the Angels. From crazy minor league stories and a wild MLB debut, to playing all over the world and starting a family, you'll get a bit of everything in the second half of Michael Roth's story.

What a ride for former coach and athletics director, Ray Tanner! Nearly three decades in athletics at South Carolina with tremendous success lends itself to some great moments and plenty of stories. Tanner sits down with Pat and Stephen, a couple guys he knows well from his time as a coach, to look back on it all.

Get ready for a series of star-studded Gamecock baseball guests joining the tailgate! Stephen Garcia and Patrick DiMarco may have made their names on the gridiron, but they just happen to be classmates with some of the biggest names in South Carolina baseball history. Up first is a guy that toed the rubber under the brightest lights time and again: Michael Roth. Hear some incredible stories including Roth's move to the mound, how a fluke infield drill led to his famous sidearm delivery, and a recount of the World Series runs like you've never heard before. And yes, there were so many stories, we had to split it up! Part two coming soon.

A South Carolinian through and through, Brandon Wallace was a jack of all trades stat-stuffer during his time in the Garnet & Black, and now he's back in Columbia doing what he loves. Pat and Stephen talk with Dave Odom's Swiss Army Knife about his time at Carolina, the life of a pro player overseas, and his current role as a high school coach.

From the field to the ring! Matrick Belton, known to many as “Trick Williams,” is a rising star in the world of professional wrestling, but before he was a WWE champion, he was playing under the lights at Willy-B. The former Gamecock receiver talks about his time in Columbia and his rise up the wrestling ranks.

Don't tell him kickers aren't real football players! Perhaps one of the most versatile special teamers to ever come through Columbia, Ryan Succop did it all during his time as a Gamecock. The 14-year NFL veteran joins his old teammates with some wild NFL stories you'll have to hear to believe.

Pat and Stephen went bowling with Gamecock football to kick off 2025 with an epic tailgate in Orlando. They caught up with former teammates, took fan questions, and shared stories of their less-than-perfect bowl experiences. They may not have brought the team much luck, but hey, bowl games have never really been their thing.

That's a wrap on our first season! Tailgate Talks kicked off in August, and what a great whirlwind it's been. As 2025 begins, Patrick DiMarco and Stephen Garcia look back at the show's inception, the incredible guests they've had so far, and look ahead to what the new year holds.

Often called one of the most underrated players to ever come through Carolina, he owns the single-season passing record and carried the torch in the post-Garcia and Shaw days. Dylan Thompson will go down as one of the best signal-callers in Gamecock history. Now working with the Commanders in the NFL, he takes a break for a tailgate session with the boys.

Wrapping up his first season back at Carolina, Coach Shawn Elliott joins the tailgate to catch up with a couple of his former players from his first stint in Columbia. The guys discuss Elliott's coaching journey, reminisce on their time together, and look ahead to the future of Gamecock football.
