IT’S FOOTBALL FRIDAY‼️ and Monday will be here before you know it. Jacked up to be with this crew covering
@HerdFB
and
@UConnFootball
down at the
@MBBowlGame
! LET’S GOOOOO!
Watched a bunch of
#NFL
yesterdy (like most Sundays), and plenty of
#Bills
/
#Buccs
. I haven't seen a QB with the skill set of Josh Allen since Elway. He's just built different than anyone else in the league.
Can't say enough about the
@AUJungle
and the
@AuburnMBB
@aubawn
fan base in general. That is the loudest crowd I've heard while calling a game in years.
Nice work guys and gals!!
#Auburn
91
#LSU
90 OT
Incredible win by
@GamecockMBB
over Kentucky. Wildcats vastly superior at every position except Silva. Frank Martin simply gets more with less than most coaches in the country. More evidence of how deep
#SEC
is.
If you want to know what good coaching looks like, watch
@GamecockMBB
and
@CoachLParis
. Getting the absolute most out of his roster. Top 25 or not, the resume says NCAA Tournament right now.
Pretty hard to overstate the job
@CoachSBeamer
did this year.
Everybody but the the bus driver playing QB. Wins over Auburn, Florida, and UNC in Bowl game.
@SpencerRattler
on the way.
Should be a very enjoyable off-season in the Capital City!
Beyond shocked to hear of the loss of one of my former cohorts, Tommy Moody. They don't make 'em any better. We shared SEC tournaments, game-clinching trips to Omaha, walkoff HR's and more. The only thing stronger than Tommy's ❤️ for baseball was the friendship he gave. RIP🙏
2006 Athens Super Regional - South Carolina vs Georgia
In the second inning of game 1 the Gamecocks tie the NCAA record with FIVE consecutive home runs.

Every job is unique, and no coach is a good fit for every job. Congrats to
@CoachSBeamer
on getting his dream job... a relentless worker who will be a good fit for South Carolina.
The news of Shane Beamer's impending hire broke shortly after South Carolina's season ended at Kentucky.
@JoshTheAthletic
on a hire that is popular with the former players and will give hope to the current ones.
The HBC talking a little hoops with
@GamecockMBB
coach Frank Martin. Spurrier was a great bball player at Science Hill in Johnson City. Gcocks+Gators tonight at 7
@SECNetwork
Projected lottery pick G-G Jackson just turned 18. Great young man with a bright future. His
@GamecockMBB
squad will battle 7'5 Jamarion Sharp & WKU tonight at 7 on
@SECNetwork
Always great catching up with a coaching legend...the HBC Steve Spurrier. Got to cover him for many years, and now get to enjoy a filet at his restaurant
@SpurriersGG
Could turn out to be one of the biggest player acquisitions in a long time in Columbia. It may be a LOS league, but if you don't have
#SEC
talent at QB you're gonna struggle. Beamer just lowered the Boom.
I seem to remember many "B-list" SEC Network talent NOT predicting college football was doomed to fail last year, while many A-list scribes said it couldn't/wouldn't happen.
I can't get past this. Gump ran like 4.2 40. He was fearless. He took coaching well. He was an All-American kick returner in the 60s. And yet, he couldn't catch on with a pro team in the NFL or AFL?!
#PoorScouting
The most dominating college pitcher all year long.. Kevin Kopps...
will get his 1st start of the year.
Winner-Take-All as the Razorbacks and Wolfpack battle for Omaha.
Join us at 6 on
#ESPN2
Those 'pundits' trying to convince you Billy Napier is a bad coach because of taking an intentional safety (and winning) are burying the lead. The guy beat the
#1
team in the Big 12 by 17, and took a program coming off 3 straight losing season to multiple Sun Belt Champ games
Big win for
@GamecockMBB
. We thought Florida would see their best effort and that's what the Gamecocks brought to the table.
Simply no gimmies in the
@SEC
this year. Fun one to call. On to Arkansas...
My first opportunity to call a Major League baseball series came for the Braves in Pittsburgh 2010. Steve Pearce was frustrated... one of three first baseman platooning for the Pirates. Now he's on his way to being the MVP of the World Series. So happy for him.
#determination
Baseball set is ready for first game of the year. We've got 1 of 2 undefeated teams in the
@SEC
.
#Gamecocks
are HOT (9-0)
Wes Clarke is SIZZLING (.533 8HR)
SC vs Mercer at high noon on w/
@ToddWalker12

@SECNetwork
Very impressive performance by Todd Golden's
@GatorsMBK
squad. Complete domination of FSU. Florida will be a much improved team this year in the
#SEC
.
From being an SEC grad, to an SEC announcer, to being a part of the
@SECNetwork
for the last 6 years. What a ride!!....
Happy 6th
@SECNetwork
Looking forward to year
#7
Have said this for years...I'll keep beating the drum. SEC/ACC in baseball can take a page out of the SEC/BIG12 Challenge in bball. Align a weekend in April where the two conferences go against one another. Built-in Car/Clem, Fla/FSU, UGA/GT, KY/Lville. Alternate the rest.
Early thoughts on New Year's 6
**Will Muschamp continues to validate his hiring, and move SC in right direction
**Major kudos to Scott Frost for insisting on coaching Bowl game for a memory of a lifetime for him and UCF program
.
@GamecockMBB
could make things real interesting with a quality win Saturday at
#MissSt
. That would be an all important Q1 win against a tournament team on the road. Could have committee perplexed. Looking forward to calling it Saturday.
#SEC
So happy to see my man
@CStewartSports
in good health and continuing his great work w/
@AlabamaMBB
. Once upon a time we were the two youngest radio announcers in the
#SEC
. Still got ya by a couple years boss ; )
This kid, Jake Mangum, needs two hits today to become the all-time leader in
#SEC
history. See if he can do it today as
@HailStateBB
battles
@BaseballUGA
in Top 10 matchup. 1pm est
@SECNetwork
Little drive-by Founders Park in Columbia. Great day for one of the best rivalries in college baseball, Carolina/Clemson. Fortunate to call several of them on TV and Radio including two in Omaha for College World Series.
#playball
The most overplayed, improperly used word in America today:
"Conspiracy"
You can be an NCState fan, completely disgusted with way things were handled by NCAA,
*AND* not blame Vandy.
Most do NOT and should not
.
@LSUfootball
just put together one of the most impressive and dominating regular seasons in history. If you're on committee and you do NOT put them
#1
, you're clearly reaching for reasons not to.
#CFBPlayoffs
Couldn't ask for a better young man in your locker room than Grant Williams of
@Vol_Hoops
. Turned himself into one hell of a player.
Good luck in Boston!
#NBADraft
I can now say I'm the first announcer to work with
@EricMacLain
+
@kellygramlich
on two different sports.
This makes me feel special.
Happy 2021 you two!!
Ten year anniversary of calling my first Major League game at PNC park in Pittsburgh. Hall of Famer Don Sutton was the man I was honored to share the booth with.
Please don't give me the:
Texas failed because Tom Herman "wasn't a player's coach" mantra. They failed worse under Charlie Strong who was a "player's coach". Problems in Austin cut deeper than coach being a nice guy.
I like Five Guys. I'm ok with paying $8 for a burger I like, and even $4 for small fries. Supply&Demand. Gotcha.
But can we speed up the process? You know...since there's a 99% chance everyone will order a burger or cheeseburger.
Having called college, Major league, and AAA games I understand this perfectly. College is so pure, Majors are so rewarding, Minors will test your resolve and leftover passion. You've been through it all, and represented the sport well. Good luck!
Now official:
With Florida’s win over Bama, South Carolina controls its own destiny in the SEC Championship race during the final week of the regular season.
Wins over Tennessee + Miss St. clinches - at worst - share of title.
This team was picked to finish 14th by media.
"It's time to change. It really is."
In Jake Mangum's final post-game press conference moment, he shares his thoughts on the need for a third paid assistant coach in college baseball.
#WCBI
Some things for
#Gamecock
fans right now:
1) Don't waste time obsessed w/ buyout. It's paid out over years and it's price of business in SEC
2) Jimmy Sexton is more than an agent. He reps almost every coach in the SEC and has legit power
3) The market is < competitive in 2020
Yup...yup. Was born today, awhile back. Johnson City, Tennessee. Nice place. Wound up leaving. Warmer weather. Yup. Won some games and championships. Heisman. Birthday cake. Yup. Lotta candles. But anyway....
#Gamecocks
HC Will Muschamp eager to show us two prized possessions in his office. Game Ball of win over his former team, Florida. And...the stent that was in his leg after devasting injury in HS.
One of the most prized possessions of the mancave and one of my favorite conversations of all time was ten years ago with the TRUE homeroom king.
RIP Hammer
Mark Kingston and company have a chance to improve to 8-4 in SEC and win 3rd straight series. Rubber game vs Mizzou coming up at noon.
@ToddWalker12
& I will have it for you at noon on the
@SECNetwork
ERRORS FOUND: Florida's positivity rate is skewed.
#FOX35
went through
#COVID19
test reports & found many clinics reporting 100% positivity.
@orlandohealth
admits their number is wrong, saying it shows 98% positive, but it's actually 9.4%.
@fox35orlando
Just went to a place that sells 2 things and 2 things only: Milkshakes and Hot Dogs.
Me:. "I'll take 2 dogs"
Them: "We're out of hot dogs"
Might wanna rethink that business model.
First the Bulldogs, then the Falcons....I'm convinced if the Braves were in a playoff game this week they'd lose on an infield fly rule. Wait. Been there done that.
