Some streaks are meant to be broken, and others are the stuff of legends. This week’s episode of The Story is all about the latter, featuring the incredible tale of one South Carolina fan who lets nothing get in his way of watching his beloved Gamecocks on the gridiron. From a Saturday morning grilling competition in Atlanta to hopping a flight to St. Louis to catch the Gamecocks just hours later, his streak of attending 400+ South Carolina games is truly legendary. Enjoy all that and more in this week’s episode of The Story, streaming tonight on Gamecocks+!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Forever To Thee. Come out to Stone Stadium tomorrow night for Senior Day as South Carolina men’s soccer takes on Coastal Carolina at 7:00pm ET. Grab your tickets here and be in your seats ahead of the game to honor our seven senior Gamecocks.

🔼 Shortstop Battle. The Gamecocks have a position battle underway at shortstop as the squad moves through fall ball. Head coach Mark Kingston talked this week about the competition, and how the team is looking to replace the irreplaceable Braylen Wimmer.

🔼 Giving Back. South Carolina women’s soccer senior defender Hallie Meadows earned a spot on the SEC Community Service Team, the first time she’s won the award during her career! The Community Service Team recognizes one athlete from each school who gives back to their community; Meadows has spent time working with a variety of organizations in Columbia, from the Special Olympics to Meals on Wheels to the Prisma Children’s Hospital.

🔼 Moving Up. The WNBA already has its eye on Kamilla Cardoso! Cardoso is climbing up ESPN’s WNBA mock drafts, jumping from seventh overall last month to the projected fourth overall draft pick. Check out the full mock draft here.
