Never want to hear anyone shit on Spencer Rattler. Watch his comments about wanting to make South Carolina proud in he upcoming bowl game. He’s a man of the people, and someone who cares about the right things.
Oh yeah, just a casual photo with the GOAT. Let me say this,
@dawnstaley
is a national treasure. She is such a kind person. She loves SC, loves the fans, and radiates such positive energy. Thanks for everything, Coach.
After meeting
@SpencerRattler
last night and talking to him, I want to make one thing perfectly clear, he is mature beyond his years, well spoken, generous with his time, and the type of player you’d want your kids to look up to. He’s the real deal on and off the field.
Hey
@GamecockFB
start giving out sunglasses with the cocky towels and at the beginning of every 4th quarter play Soulja Boy-- then watch magic happen in the stands.
Can’t wait for someone to put together a Gamecock Championship celebration clip/video since the general public got to watch Iowa walk around sad for 5 minutes🤷🏼♂️
Breaking: Clemson’s loss against the Gamecocks no longer counts and will be removed from the history books because Trevor Lawrence won his game yesterday.

Of all things for people to complain about… Coach Staley wearing a jersey on Super Bowl Sunday, is not one that makes sense. She’s leading the undefeated number one team in the nation, and our own fans complain about what’s she’s wearing. Makes no sense to me.
~LSU is 0-14 in the last 12 years vs USC
~They have scored 775 points to USC’s 1018…an average of 17 pts per loss
Angel Reese needs to worry about things she is familiar with…cause she clearly has NO idea when to shut the F up. The we’ll see them again comment was PURE gold
Angel Reese was pretty animated tonight after losing to the

"We're not scared of South Carolina. And I'm going to repeat that... we're not scared of South Carolina."
I see these student athletes almost daily on campus-- they are kids who are trying to manage the stress of school with the added pressures of SEC football and pleasing an entire fanbase. Cut these kids some slack-- I guarantee that they care about winning even more than we do.
Rattler is 3rd in passing yard in the SEC. Wells is first in receiving yards. Our only loss was to a current top 10 team on the road. Let’s fix the running game (offensive and defensive) and bounce back. It’s not as gloom and doom as it appears.
The hardest part is seeing people (not our fans) trashing Boston. She never showed anything but kindness and respect toward Iowa and Clark. People saying hurtful things about her have never taken the time to listen to her comments or hear who she is as a person. It’s pathetic.
A lot went wrong. It’s obvious what the big concerns are— I won’t repeat what so many others are correctly saying— but there were some individuals worthy of praise tonight:
- Legette
- Fortune
- Doty
- Banks
- And of course, Rattler— who played his heart out.
You know how sometimes we don’t appreciate the “good times” while they are happening? When
@dawnstaley
retires or moves on, we will never see another one like her. Appreciate her and this success while it’s here. We are living the good times!
Rattler to Wells, all 2023. I believe these two guys can set scoring records together with the right OC. We will support them either way, but can you imagine Rattler's final regular season game being a big win against Clemson at Williams Brice? 🤙🤙🤙
Not going to lie... I'd love to see Rattler commit to next season and then start recruiting some dudes to come play with him. Not only could he be a Heisman finalist next season, but he could end up in the first round, and potentially lead us to HUGE team success.
3 Reasons why the Cocks should play the So. Cal Trojans in a Bowl Game:
1. Battle to see who is the real USC (us obviously)
2. Rattler & Beamer vs. Lincoln Riley
3. The mascots for the 2 teams would create amazing news headlines and memes galore
So, South Carolina is:
- USC
- The Real Carolina
- Owns the state of South Carolina
- Oddly enough, owns the state of Maryland
- At the top or on the rise in WBB, FB, Baseball
- Showing promise recruiting for MBB
Yeah, I'll take it.
To the guy who thought it was fun to tweet rude things at the wife of a coach— who has nothing to do with any of this— you are a small, miserable, sad person. You do not represent the Gamecocks or the fan base; you only represent your pathetic self.
The signing I'm most excited about is
@decaphobia
. My man 100% bleeds Garnet just like the rest of us. He's easily going to be a fan favorite and one hell of a player.
Why is Shane Beamer working so well as head coach? 1. He’s talented 2. He wants to be at South Carolina. We need the same thing from players. We need talented players who WANT to be here. Don’t worry, we’ve got them on the roster and Shane will be adding more. 🤙🏻📈
This class is unreal. One of the best all-around classes we've ever signed. There's some real future stars on this list, so hop on the Shane Train now or get run over by it.
The Aggies traveled 950 miles and did all that yell practicing, just to take a big fat L from a bunch of crazy southern fans with the word “Cocks” on their shirts. All is finally right in the world.
We love this team and these student athletes. Last night was hard for the fans but if you were at the game, it was easy to see that even the players were frustrated. I’m all for demanding a change, just don’t stop supporting the players in the meantime. This is hard for them too.
Beamer said Loggains was his number one choice. He said the statements from the folks in the upstate were false. That's all I need to know. End of story.
That
@GamecockWBB
was as satisfying as could be, seeing Geno lose his composure and those UCONN announcers face the heartbreak of losing to the best team in the nation made today wonderful. Go Cocks!
We can lose out and the job Lamont Paris has done at USC this year should earn him Coach of the Year honors.
23 wins, 11 in conference, and fighting for an SEC Title.
Incredible.
The thing not a lot of people know about these kids is that they pay to play…and it’s not cheap to travel and equip a full team.
This is the content that proves they are no different than any athlete at our school in terms of fire, grit, and love for USC.
So proud of them.
Still hurts.
All he did was rip darts on the sideline and win ball games. He is the reason South Carolina wears black. First USC team to wear black was his. He also brought the script Carolina logo.

@LSUwbkb
What an incredible environment y’all created tonight for what is sure to be one of the best basketball games of the year in any league.
We are both better teams for it, and the women’s game grew because of it.
Cheers🥃
A student from up north told me yesterday that “Southern Food” was terrible. Despite my immediate reaction of shock, I tried hear him out. He said, “You have no good delis, and where are the REAL bagel places?” Turns out he wasn’t dissing the food I love, but just missing the
I love petty Shane. He takes up for his own, he defends his players, and he fights for his staff and his fans. Upstate dude has been running his mouth unchecked for years— seeing Coach snap back is very satisfying. 🔥🔥🔥
One thing I have to say about the Gamecocks, there’s no bandwagon fans— that’s for damn sure. If you pull for the cocks, you don’t do so lightly; you’re committed.
Zacch Pickens has been my family's favorite player since the day he signed. If he's not going to be participating in the bowl, let me just say from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for a great career! You've been an outstanding representative of Carolina, on and off the field.
Y’all bookmark this tweet. Coach Paris will be great if he’s given time to work. If I’m wrong, y’all can come back here and I’ll eat crow, but I am still convinced he’s THE guy. You got this coach!
Had me thinking…what are the loudest moments for you, in person, in Williams-Brice? I didn’t make the 2012 UGA game, but that would more than likely be
#1
had I gone.
1a. The Fade in 2000 against MSU to take us to 4-0 immediately after we went 0-21. Back-up QB (Kimrey)
Due to all this transfer stuff you may have missed the fact that
@_Awells13
was wore a Mark Martin T-Shirt to the NIL event the other night, and idk about you, but I think that's cool af.🏁
Lamont is cooking.
Kingston's team is elite.
Beamer has all the momentum in the world.
Dawn has BEEN ELITE.
We may be entering our greatest stretch ever. Yes, the Beamer and Lamont have some things to prove, but there's plenty of reasons to be optimistic in Columbia, SC.
This one absolutely breaks my heart. Like “Oot Oot” at Sarge Frye, Gamecock Jesus was the single best Gamecock basketball fan in my lifetime. I’ve been to A LOT of basketball games, and he was at every single one.
He brought so much joy to other people every day, and it just
My heart is hurting & tears are falling … but I’m also grateful he’s no longer in pain & has claimed the ultimate victory.
Carlton Thompson, affectionately known as Gamecock Jesus, has been called home to rest with the Lord 🙏🏽🖤❤️🕊️ …
Been thinking about the bowl game with Bell gone and I think we are going to see the DK Joyner bowl show 2.0. Hoping I’m right because I’d love to see him and Rattler take over this game together.
So proud of Spencer! Im not sure I can remember a Gamecock in recent memory with haters for days like this man.
I met and spoke with him multiple times in his time at USC, and he’s as nice a guy as anyone I’ve met who wore the Garnet & Black. I admittedly didn’t watch the show
My grandmother died this morning, so I will be driving to Greenville today to be with my family for a couple days. Thanks for your kind thoughts! The newsletter will still go out tonight as scheduled, but I’ll probably less active today.
The Folly Beach DUI crash that led to the death of a bride who was leaving her wedding is incredibly devastating. Since we have a platform here that involves alcohol, please please understand the importance of safe consumption and NEVER drink and drive.
Every doubt that people had about Shane Beamer has been proven wrong. I loved Spurrier's sarcastic and antagonistic arrogance, but Beamer's demeanor and style of coaching looks like it could lead to sustained success and new heights in the program. What a time to be a Gamecock.
People go to stores asking for Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, & Buffalo Trace, only to be told no and then immediately leave while gems like this sit full on the shelf. I understand the “bourbon hunt” but don’t miss out on some treasures right in front of you.
May not be the hire I wanted, but if he’s our guy, he’s our damn guy. I’m pulling for him to far exceed expectations, recruit high-level players, and call some damn good plays. Only thing I got left to say is, Coach Loggains, I hope you like bourbon!
We are sending Coach Beamer a Christmas package and I plan to include as many encouraging messages from all of you that I can fit in it. So, to have yours added, comment below a short message to coach, and I'll gather them all this weekend and have them sent over. 🤙🎄
Gamecocks beat TENN and Clemson. ND beat Clemson. Now we just need TENN to smack Clemson around and Carolina to handle ND for the year to end perfectly.
You can't say "I don't care about Women's basketball" and then say "Dawn Staley shouldn't wear..." Either you care or you don't and even if you DO care, what that woman decides to wear is between her and her employer. If they are cool with it, which they are, end of story.
Making this clear: We will support any coach hired. If he's our guy, he will be OUR guy and have our support. We trust Beamer completely. BUT fans also have the right to voice their opinion about it-- especially when it is just rumored.
Taking a friend to his 1st Gamecock game since moving from NY. He's gone to basketball and baseball games, and said Sandstorm was "amazing," but I tried my best to explain that it just doesn't compare with Willy B
Who else thinks that Sandstorm is going to blow him away?
I transferred money from savings to checking and put the note on the account as “After much consideration, I have decided to transfer. Please respect my decision.”
I don’t care if your opinion of Coach Satterfield is positive or negative, but no matter how you feel seeing arguably our best player stand up for him and take accountability as players is pretty cool. I personally think Lloyd is one hell of a leader. Well done, young man.
Please stop disrespecting Coach Sat! He’s literally the most dedicated coach I’ve ever had. This man does not take his job lightly. I wish everyone could see all he put into this.Every time something goes wrong everyone goes straight to it being his fault when really it be us!
