Good morning. 

“If you can’t fly then run,

If you can’t run then walk,

If you can’t walk then crawl,

But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today, we pause to honor a man who moved our country and our society forward in so many ways. As we celebrate victories, moments, and stories in each and every Brew, let us remember those who helped pave the paths before us.

Spend your holiday Monday enjoying these hand-picked episodes from the Gamecock Talk podcast:

• A Name In Lights: Among many things, Tiffany Mitchell can be considered the first superstar under Dawn Staley for South Carolina women's basketball. She was a key piece in the program's rise to dominance during her time in Columbia, and now her name will forever hang in the rafters of Colonial Life Arena.

• Year 2: It's Year 2 under Lamont Paris for South Carolina basketball, and the Gamecocks are off to a hot start. As Paris will tell you, it's not by accident. Another big year in the transfer portal and an offseason of hard work gives fans a lot to be excited about. But how'd he get to this point? Paris talks about it all in this episode.

• The Hometown Kid: The hometown kid, just trying to make his family proud, Boogie Huntley went to high school just down the road. He's living out a dream, but now it's time to reach even higher.

• Revenge Tour: Last year didn't end the way Raven Johnson and the Gamecocks wanted it to, so this year's team is on a mission. After "The Freshies" graduated, this squad wants to prove they aren't going anywhere.
