Christmas could come early in Columbia... Several national and local reports are indicating LaNorris Sellers will suit up in the garnet and black in 2026. Thomas and Beck talk about what this means for next year's team and how it could impact the decisions of other key players. They also discuss the newly released 2026 SEC football schedule, which sets up nicely for South Carolina the first half of the season. Finally, Gamecock MBB is taking a trip to Clemson this week to take on the Tigers, and our very own Beck Dugas will be there to root them on.

Coach Shane Beamer has his guy: Kendal Briles will be wearing the garnet and black next fall as the Gamecocks look for a consistent and explosive offense for the first time in the Beamer era. Thomas and Beck talk about what Briles brings to Columbia, and what two other offensive hires mean for the Gamecocks going forward. Meanwhile in Michigan, Sherrone Moore is out as head coach after what appears to be some of the most bizarre circumstances we've seen in college football since Bobby Petrino was fired by Arkansas.

The 2025 South Carolina Gamecock football team can no longer hurt us. 12 excruciating games were culminated by an ugly & season-ending loss to Clemson at home over the weekend, extending Clemson's win-streak in Williams-Brice stadium to 6 in a row. The majority of this episode was spent dissecting the loss, pondering the future of the team, and laying out what Shane Beamer must do this offseason to ensure this kind of season doesn't happen again in 2026.

This rivalry week we decided to reach across enemy lines and talk to someone that knows a thing or two about winning this special game. Former Clemson head coach Danny Ford sat down with us for nearly an hour to talk South Carolina-Clemson history, his role in this rivalry, today's college football landscape, and what it was like to play and coach for Bear Bryant at Alabama. After some great storytelling from Coach Ford, we spent a few minutes on our own talking about what we want to see out of the Gamecocks this weekend before revealing our final regular season DB Blitz picks. We'd like to extend a massive thank you to Coach Ford for sharing his time and stories with us!

For the first time in weeks the South Carolina Gamecocks have won a football game. Because of the game's cupcake nature, Thomas and Beck briefly touched on that result before diving head first into rivalry week. The Carolina Clemson game takes the spotlight in the Palmetto State this week as two very disappointing teams look to end their seasons on a high note. After that, Thomas and Beck ramble for 30 minutes about college football playoff seeding before reviewing their DB Blitz picks and talking a little bit about USC's bad weekend in the Greenbrier basketball tournament.
