I hate that this game has not hype, no excitement. I grew up on the excitement of Clemson vs USC. All week long..the build up, the passion, the nervousness. Itโs completely gone and it sucks that this rivalry is so dull. And itโs 1000% USCโs fault.
Big thanks to
@CurtisWilson275
for taking time out to say hello to my oldest son tonight. We watch
@OfficialOPLive
all time time. Big fans. Thanks again Curtis. Always a great guy. Elliott really appreciated your time.
This is my sweet Father. The greatest man I ever knew. A real hero to so many. My Dad passed last night at 12:14am. My brother, sweet aunt mother and I were all with him. 78 years old..a true servant of God. I will miss you so much Dad. Thank you for EVERYTHING. Simply the best
I gotta tell you. I am so impressed with USC tonight. They are so outmanned on defense but they are battling. They really have fought and never quit and the offense has torched the clemson D. Bentley has been incredible.
For those that thought Jake Bentley was the problem..in year 4 you won 4 games without him. Imagine year 3..or even year 1. He saved this program from being a disaster the last few years. Without Jake this year..you won 4 games. 4!! But sure..it was Jakeโs fault.
@MDavidHood
My oh my has Clemson come a long way down. From winning titles to throwing shade at a conference they claim to not care about. This is where Clemson is now. This is a program that now loses to Duke and beats Kentucky by 3.
Iโll say this about Dabo... he will probably end up on the Mt. Rushmore of college coaches when he hangs it up. He is extremely talented, an unreal recruiter, and one of the best CEO-like head coaches of a football program. That being said...
Alright Spartanburg family. We have another situation. SHS student and football player Ty'shun Moultrie, Nick's close friend, passed out last night and they are concerned about his heart. He is at Spartanburg Regional hospital. He is awake and was in pain this morning but is ok.
I hate what I'm about to type. An incredible young man..Spartanburg High School student and football player Nick Dixon has died. So many at SHS love Nick and we're praying for his family. RIP my friend

When sports and music come together, thereโs nothing better. Wish more stadiums in the USA sang and chanted like this. Just incredible.
I see the media narrative is going back to little Ole Clemson. Good Lord have mercy. Iโve never seen a more twisted relationship between media and itโs football coach. Itโs so weird. How Clemson fans buy this crap Iโll never know
@dawnstaley
What a weird thing to say after a loss. There are always haters but to acknowledge it in such a defensive way...is odd. What a strange thing for a successful HC to be focusing on.
Roy Philpott just said KB should miss the FT up 3 so theyโd have to heave it 94 feet. OR you know...make it and be up 4 with a half a second left. That would be game over Roy.
From Dorman: Dorman requested permission from the SCHSL several week ago for the boys basketball team to be able to play in the Geico Nationals tournament in NY City on April 2-4 if they receive an invitation. Today the school learned that the request was denied by the SCHSL.
Being told from a source that USC donors have reached out to USC officials about making a change. Also being told the $ is there, itโs more about explaining to the public the use of spending that much money during Covid
Today is my dadโs funeral. So many of you have shown your kindness to me this week. Thank you. I read every single message. Itโs meant more than you know. My Dad was my hero.

Itโs my favorite thing about Dabo. He treats children with special needs like rock stars. Makes them out to be the bigger star. Itโs very genuine and real. What it does for those parents too..no words.
AlsoโฆI am very excited to announce that I am the new Play by Play Voice for the USC Upstate Spartans. You can hear a minimum of 70 Menโs Basketball and Baseball games on the Home of the Spartans, Fox Sports Spartanburg 98.3FM.
I love SHS. I love these kids. We love you Nick Dixon. We're so proud of you and the mark you left on your teammates, your opponents, your community is obvious and incredible. RIP

This is my Dad. Heโs the greatest Dad in the world. Heโs had my back for 40 years. Today is his birthday. It will be his last. Happy Birthday Dad. Wouldnโt be here if it wasnโt for you.
@scuffedpod
This. This is the issue. Not the rest of the world has caught up or anything like that. Donโt make excuses. This team isnโt as good and it starts with they are not well coached at all. The US struggled with Vietnam..donโt tell me how much better they are now than before
I canโt get over how bad of a point Dabo made yesterday. Itโs absolutely false and itโs so clear and obvious why so. THE Coach who doesnโt have to be defensive is the MOST defensive. So strange. Angriest winners Iโve ever seen
Again...USC's biggest problems are not the QB play. I really hope Bentley haters can see that now. Also rain I thought really slowed down Missouri offense and kept USC in it. Scarn made some nice throws. Missouri Def is dreadful. Just dreadful. USC needed that win and found a way
Gaffney at Spartanburg for the Upper State Title next week. It doesnโt get any better than that. Itโll be at Viking Stadium. I canโt wait. GO VIKINGS!!!!
I canโt thank
@JClements51
enough. Elliott is such a huge fan and Jeremy was so nice to have him by the shop to show him the car with his name on it. Yโall watch this Saturday at 5 on FS1.
Thank you everyone for all of your kind words. Every single message has meant a lot to me. Iโll be back on air tomorrow and calling games this weekend. My Dad never missed a show or a game so these next 3 days are for him. Funeral is Sunday at 2. Thank you everyone again
@MLB
Iโm sorry. What!!!! Is this a joke!! This is a joke. How in the blue hell is Snitker not the unanimous winner of this?? Not even a nominee!!!! Award means nothing and thatโs that.
Spartanburg really does have the best Coach in HS Football. On the fieldโฆOff the fieldโฆwe really are lucky. Thanks Coach Hodge for ALL that you do for SHS. Congrats on

So what I'm seeing a good bit of is the Bentley haters taking credit for Bentley's success. It was the hate that drove him. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh to live in that state of mentality.
I can't believe this. I've just been told it's ok to share that Bryant Rose, the SHS athletic trainer, has passed away. Bryant has a wife and 2 children.
Many of you ask about Isaac. Heโs been doing fantastic. He can hear better than ever and bc of that, his communication is worlds better. Iโm so proud of this little guy. He tries his best at every single thing everyday even with unfair hurdles in his life.
SHS Viking basketball player Sean Jenkins will be making a commitment tomorrow at 4:30pm live on Open Mic on Fox Sports 1400 and 98.3FM. Tune in to hear his decision.
So this just happened. I can't thank Zion and Lee enough. Got a great interview with Zion. You'll hear it Monday on Open Mic. Story to come as well on what he had to say about Spartanburg and this past year. Man do they love Spartanburg.
A little taste.... This is about mentality. Muschamp preaches mentality. Toughness. Battle. USC did none of that. Itโs gameplan was not to lose. You canโt say be tough. Be strong. And coach like wimps. The coaching was the opposite of what they preach. More on Tues
So those who really know me know i donโt like public praise. But Iโll brag on my kids in a minute. This sweet girl was told by her musical theater teacher she has one of the best voices from a 9 year old sheโs ever heard. Grace had worked & worked at singing & dancing. Proud dad
All those 2 did last night was represent the way all of you talk to each other when discussing politics. You donโt listen, you donโt consider other points of view, you hate, and you act like children whining. Donโt be surprised at what you got last night. They represented you
Wow. What a night. Football is back. What an absolute blast. Man the Vikings are gonna be so good really soon. You could see so much potential tonight. Canโt wait for next week.
Another late night of prepping for SHS football. My 9th year as the voice of the Vikings. So honored and thankful to have the best job in the world. Can't wait for next Friday night. Go Vikings.
So Iโm 1 of the 5 finalists for the
@GoUpstate
Best of the Best Radio Show Host in the Upstate. Iโm very honored. Thank you. Letโs have some fun with this.
Wow. What a game by Spartanburg. Grayson is so good. Our QB got a cramp on 2nd to last play. Hate it for our guys but we got a lot better against basically an all star team of guys. Fun game to be at on my birthday. Canโt wait for next week
