What if you could change one play in Gamecock Football history?

...well, we talked about it, and, unsurprisingly, it’s a pretty dark road to go down. But we do it anyways because we’re South Carolina Gamecocks football fans and apparently we like to torture ourselves.

Moving along to different matters, Sam, DC3 and Alex attempt to highlight the positives and negatives for each defensive unit, as well as the special teams in this week’s second of three preseason preview episodes. From our high hopes for the defensive line to our optimism regarding punt returns and our understandable fear of setting up for a field goal longer than 25 yards, your favorite podcast is back to bring you all that and more!

However, you can now find us on more platforms than before. You can find us on the Podbean app (iTunes link and GooglePlay link).

The GABACast, Episode 150: Searching

Listen, it's Friday the 13th. We know. The podcast has reverted to it's idiosyncratic ways. 

 

On a podcast recorded nearly a week ago, Sam and DC3 opine on basically anything but the travesty that was the Gamecocks' offensive performance Saturday night against the Texas A&M; Aggies. 

Apart from the abysmal showing for the Garnet and Black (or white), the week was actually pretty interesting. From Virginia Tech and Kansas State to Rutgers and a bunch of laterals to Georgia imploding, and everything in between. College Football was kinda fun last week. May we hope that this weekend brings the same intrigue and excitement. 

 

There are winners and losers, there is a discussion about a 'proper tailgate spread' that includes very questionable fried chicken takes a Zesto's shoutout, and a formal apology to the wonderful kicker that we do not deserve. Thank you for your service, Parker White. 

 

We preview the Ole Miss game, too. Which will be weird.

The GABACast, Episode 148: Losing to Bye Week

Well, in the same way that the win over Auburn was exhilarating, that game was a complete disappointment. But the Gamecocks are 2-3 going into the bye week and, if we're being honest with ourselves, that's right about what everyone expected out of this team record wise. Anyways, we had a GABACast record for Twitter questions this week so it's an action packed episode this week.

DC3's food opinions.

Winners and losers
James Franklin is the worst.

Actually Dabo might be worse.

Winners are actually losers and losers are actually winners.

The GABACast, Episode 147: Tiger Bait

That was a hell of a win for the Gamecocks. We've seen the team fail to build on any kind of momentum all too many times but, after a slow start, really finished the game strong and got a solid win over Auburn for the first time since 1933. This week's episode is action packed as we discuss all things South Carolina and all things college football:

DC3's crazy food opinions (new feature!!!)

Winners and losers
Auburn is actually DC3's winner?

The top 25.

Arkansas is...kinda good?

Texas had a bye this week so I go off on the other UT.




Auburn review

Will Muschamp and his staff out-coaching Auburn in critical moments.
