🎥 TAILGATE TALKS

Tailgate Talks. It's been 16 years, but every time South Carolina plays LSU on the gridiron an infamous moment gets retold like it was yesterday. Stephen Garcia vs the referee. All these years we've all wondered what was going through Wilbur Hackett Jr.'s head, and why he laid the boom on the Gamecock quarterback that day in 2008. Well, wonder no more because we tracked him down and his side of the story is fascinating. Jump into Tailgate Talks with us to hear these two hash out a moment they'll never live down. We also have reaction from South Carolina's massive win over Kentucky, and preview the matchup against LSU with former Tiger, Jacob Hester.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Golden Boy. Gamecock defender Andrew Goldsworthy has been named the Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week! He helped the Gamecocks shut down Belmont, who only scored on a penalty kick. He earned his first career point on an assist to Ethan Ballek.

🔺 Complete Shutdown. The men’s soccer team shut out USC Upstate last night, 4-0. Harrison Myring scored two goals, while Alejandro Velazquez-Lopez and Camden Kowalski scored one each. They’ll stay at home on Sunday to host East Tennessee State at 7 p.m.

🔺 Sweep Dreams. South Carolina volleyball had a successful Tuesday night, sweeping the College of Charleston. The Gamecocks out-hit the Cougars .297 to .082. Alayna Johnson hit .400 with 14 kills, her most efficient game of the year. They’ll host a three-day tournament this weekend with Stetson, Florida International, and Wake Forest.

🔺 Championship Dreams. The National Championship women’s basketball team took a trip to the White House yesterday! They met President Joe Biden and celebrated their trophy. You can watch President Biden welcome the team here!
