🪄 BLACK MAGIC PART 3

Black Magic: The Story of the 1984 Gamecocks: Part 3: A Curse Reawakens — Riding a 9–0 start and rising to a No. 2 national ranking, the 1984 Gamecocks hit a season-defining peak with a landmark win over highly ranked Florida State. The victory cements them as a national contender—until that infamous trip to Annapolis changes everything in an instant. Over four decades later, any Gamecock fan who lived through the 80s still cringes at the sound of one word: Navy. Relive the dramatic swing from national championship hopes to unparalleled heartbreak—and the rebirth of the legendary “Chicken Curse.”

Black Magic Part 3 airs on Gamecocks+ tonight at 7 p.m. ET.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Welcome Home. Yesterday was National Signing Day for Gamecock football! Meet the newest Gamecocks and watch Coach Beamer’s press conference here.

🔺 Challenge Accepted. The third-ranked women’s basketball team will play its first true road game of the season tonight. They’ll play at No. 22 Louisville in the ACC/SEC Challenge at 7 p.m. on ESPN. The last time these two teams met, South Carolina beat the Cardinals to advance to the National Championship game in 2022.

🎙️ TAILGATE TALKS

Tailgate Talks: Busta Anderson — Right in the middle of a long line of underrated tight ends from South Carolina, Busta Anderson left his mark on the Gamecocks program. Overlapping with Garcia for one year (okay, half a year), the former teammates chat about the first night they met, the success of those Spurrier teams, and why USC is a sneaky pick for “Tight End U.”
