Touchdowns 5 Points Podcast

A friendly and familiar face is joining the long list of notable guests to talk ball on the Touchdowns 5 Points Podcast: Mike Uva. The long-time Gamecock sports reporter is now settling in as CCU's Associate Athletics Director for Communications and Media, and talked to the Dugas brothers for more than 30 minutes about this weekend's game, group of 6 teams in the playoffs, and Mike's favorite memories from his time in Columbia. After that Beck and Thomas get into yet another heated discussion about the college football playoff, before finishing with quick discussions surrounding James Franklin's new job, the DB Blitz, and Court Cocks Chatter.

The South Carolina Gamecocks have done it again and discovered yet another new way to lose in embarrassing fashion, this time by surrendering a 27 point halftime lead on the road against Texas A&M. After venting their frustrations stemming from yesterday's loss, it's officially time to start questioning the team's leadership from a coaching and player perspective. Should Shane Beamer be the head coach next season? Are we going to be able to bring back key underclassmen and keep them from the transfer portal? Thomas and Beck talk about it all in episode 22 of the Touchdowns 5 Points Podcast. This episode is a safe space for all emotionally battered Gamecock fans.

The Gamecocks' final stretch of the season kicks off this Saturday at noon in College Station, Texas, when South Carolina attempts to pull off the impossible against Texas A&M. Beck and Thomas break down everything they hope to see from a team that's fresh off a bye week and under new leadership on the offensive side of the ball. After a small drive-by of soon-to-be former Maryland head coach Mike Locksley, Beck takes aim at the college football playoff committee for a lack of consistency and general ball knowledge... before both Thomas and Beck reveal their 5 unique picks in this week's edition of the DB Blitz. Finally, we extend a huge shout out to the Men's basketball team for starting off 3-0 with a win over PC Wednesday and staving off a huge upset against Southern Miss on Sunday night.

The DB Blitz goes a combined 1-9 this weekend and we are now officially losing everyone money (unless you have been fading us the entire time). After a depressing recap of our cards, we dive deep into the ACC championship race as both Louisville and UVA drop games over the weekend. After that we take a quick spin around the coaching carousel as Mike Norvell now finds his seat hotter than ever with just three games left.

A stress-free Saturday is on deck for Gamecock fans all over the country, so we decided to talk about how we got here. Beck and Thomas went back and forth on what Beamer and Co. got right and what they got wrong in the offseason leading up to a one of the most highly anticipated seasons in recent memory. After that, we talked some coaching carousel and then broke down the initial CFP rankings for a few minutes before going on a tangent about the composition of the playoff, and who should and shouldn't be included in the tournament. And finally after a brief breakdown of the week 11 DB Blitz, it's time to talk basketball in South Carolina. LP and the boys got off to a hot start Tuesday night defeating NC A&T 91-72 in Colonial Life Arena, and it's looking like we'll have a fun team to cheer for in basketball for the next 4 to (hopefully) 5 months.

Preeminent Alabama ball-knower Trevor Hewett joins Beck and Thomas to break down Alabama's game in Columbia this weekend. As Trevor would go on to explain, year two of the Kalen DeBoer era is off to a much hotter start than the Crimson Tide's 2024 campaign. We break down the changes between years one and two, then take a closer look at how the Tide match-up against South Carolina on Saturday.

Oklahoma's first ever trip to Williams-Brice Stadium resulted in one of the most embarrssing losses in the Shane Beamer era. The offense hurts to watch, special teams was gimmicky and unsuccessful, and we can't depend on the defense to hold for 60 minutes when the other units flat-out stink. Thomas and Beck once again reconvene on a Sunday to talk about where the Cocks most go from here -- and it might get worse before it gets better anytime soon. After 45 minutes of hearty Gamecock discussion, the coaching carousel takes center stage as we start to see more and more jobs open up as the season goes on.
