🎙️ TAILGATE TALKS

The man that makes the whole operation run! Steve Fink has been with the University of South Carolina Athletics Department for over two decades, and has just about seen it all. And although he may or may not still have nightmares about Stephen Garcia's time at Carolina, the Gamecock Football SID was nice enough to join the guys for a tailgate anyway!

🪄 BLACK MAGIC

In the early 1980s, South Carolina football was searching for an identity — a program adrift and hungry for respect. Part One of Black Magic: The Story of the 1984 Gamecocks sets the stage with the arrival of head coach Joe Morrison, whose quiet intensity would spark a cultural shift in Columbia. Through the eyes of players, journalists, and lifelong fans, we revisit a program standing at the edge of transformation. The ’84 season begins with a tense, hard-fought win over The Citadel — a shaky opening act that hinted at the unforgettable storm to come.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 History Made. For the first time in program history, South Carolina cross country is inside the USTFCCCA Top 30 rankings! The Gamecocks are ranked No. 26 in the latest poll. They also sit third in the Southeast Regional standings, also the highest rank in school history.
