The Gamecock men's baseball team, specifically the coaching staff, continue to disappoint and embarrass their fans with a third series loss in a row to Clemson. Beck waxes poetic about the Mainieri era and the fall of Gamecock baseball before Thomas joins in with his own embarassing stats for the men's basketball team. The women & Dawn continue to dominate conference play with a huge road win against Kentucky Sunday and will begin the SEC conference tournament with the 1 seed. We also talked about the four Gamecocks that competed in the NFL combine over the weekend: Nick Barrett, Brandon Cisse, Rahsul Faison and Jalon Kilgore.

It was a busy weekend at Touchdowns in 5 Points as ESPN and College Gameday were in town & at the bar to help promote South Carolina's big home game against Ole Miss Sunday. Thomas and Beck open the episode up talking about what it was like at the bar Saturday night before breaking down USC's conference championship-clinching blowout against Ole Miss. We are hoping the women are inspiring the men to become winners too, as the men pulled off a big home win to snap a long losing streak against Mississippi State over the weekend. After some exciting talk about basketball, we switch gears to football, where news broke over the weekend that star transfer tackle Jacarrius Peak suffered a lower leg injury that could keep him sidelined into the season. Beck and Thomas also touched on South Carolina's newest assistant coach, Matthew Smiley, who will be leading the Gamecocks' special teams unit this fall. We end the episode with a quick recap of the baseball team's disappointing weekend in the Salute the Troops baseball tournament & a look ahead to this weekend's massive series versus Clemson.

Ray Tanner is the gift that keeps on giving in Columbia, SC. All three major men's sports are at the bottom of the SEC and Tanner himself shrugged the reality off as "cyclical". Beck and Thomas discuss what Tanner left behind for the current athletics administration and echo the sentiments of what many Gamecock fans are feeling: a complete lack of joy surrounding men's sports. What is not lacking joy is our women's basketball team, who went to Baton Rouge Saturday night and left with an 18th straight win vs. LSU. The women are poised for another long postseason run under Dawn Staley's leadership.

The college football playoff parameters are changing once again. Thomas and Beck sit down to talk about what the committee is *still* getting wrong about the process & why the only changes being made just help the blue bloods more. We also discuss Dabo's major rant on the transfer portal and Pete Golding & why this will only keep happening until guardrails are put in place to protect teams and coaches from being played. We end the episode with a fun debate: What would you rather see your school win in a 10 year span, A.) 2 CFP national championships or B.) 1 CFP, 1 MBB, 1 WBB and 1 baseball national championship?

Three days have passed since the transfer portal window closed and new players are still tricking in for Shane Beamer's Gamecocks. After a quick transfer portal update, we talk for more than 30 minutes about Indiana's magical 16-0 run to the national championship and what it means for the landscape of college football as we know it in 2026 and beyond. We end the show with a quick talk conversation about South Carolina's much-needed conference win vs. Oklahoma in Columbia on Tuesday night.

After a whirlwind two week window, the transfer portal is closed and we're getting a better idea of which players South Carolina will depend on when the season kicks off this fall. Nobody has a better understanding or more insight into the Gamecocks' portal haul than Wes Mitchell, who joined us for nearly 45 minutes to talk about the class and the offseason so far.
