Clemson wants out. The ACC wants to enforce its contract...but why aren't they doing more to make its members happy and save the 71 year old league? Their hard line stance ensures the current members will spend the next 12 years plotting their exit.
Marc grades six teams: 3 who have gotten significantly better in NFL free agency and 3 who have gotten worse. Is your team in either category? Listen to find out.
Every time we bring this up people tell us "I don't know anyone who's ever said this". Well now we have proof. Wes, a 50 year die hard Clemson fan told us he WANTS Clemson to lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament to ensure Brad Brownell gets fired.
Brian Burns is heading to New York and the Panthers are getting a bag of potato chips. This trade is so bad we're giving Panthers fans permission to burn their fan card and walk away.
A listener argues that the brother of Flau'jae Johnson was justified jumping over the scorer's table and entering the fracas between Tigers and Gamecocks players Sunday. WRONG. The man was a spectator who should've kept his *** in the stands and let his sister handle her own business.
Per multiple sources, Clemson is preparing to take legal action against the ACC in an attempt to expedite its exit from the league. Leaving the ACC feels necessary but they signed a contract and not honoring it is dishonorable.
There's a perception that everything Marc has to say about area teams is negative and that's just not true. The reality is only the negative stuff goes viral. So we wanted to see how big saying nice things about Shane Beamer, Dabo Swinney, Brad Brownell, Dawn Staley, and Lamont Paris would go. It's up to you. Make it go viral or prove to us that you love the provocative content more.
Dabo Swinney has taken most of the heat for his reluctance to adopt NIL and the transfer portal and now Nick Saban has his back. Nick made comments this week that put his retirement squarely on the shoulders of greedy entitled players.
Stuffing the NCAA tournament bracket with middling major conference teams has effectively rendered the conference tournaments meaningless. If half the league is already a lock, why are they compelling?
So many red flags surround Caleb Williams. We're telling you why drafting Caleb Williams would be a huge mistake for the Chicago Bears.
Clemson runs this state right now and its not even close! South Carolina fans will fight back and say things like "baseball championships" but those were over 10 years ago. Right now, with wins in 2023-24 in football, men's basketball, baseball, and soccer...Clemson is your daddy.
Riverside high school's 5'7" center Elly Trickett staved off Westside's 6'5" Khalia Hartwell and is taking the Warriors to the state championship game vs AC Flora. We brought Elly on Offsides and were so impressed by her focus and charisma.
We have the Gamecocks hitting the under on their projected win total and finishing 13th in the SEC in 2024. Do you Gamecock fans agree with this?
Usually official university Twitter accounts don't resort to this level of petty...but today Clemson entered the fray and dropped a bomb on South Carolina claiming to be "South Carolina's university". It's a bold strategy, let's see how it works out for them.
What Palmetto teams get in to the NCAA tournament? Here are the odds team by team in the state of South Carolina.
Are G5 coaches leaving for P5 position jobs a sign that CFB's sky is falling? Absolutely not! Jake Crain of Crain and Company says all coaching changes are circumstantial and the football media is wrongly generalizing these isolated cases and labeling them collectively catastrophic.
After a 2 win season and a string of L's off the field as well, Dave Tepper and the Panthers have announced ticket prices are going up. Seriously? This move is completely tone deaf and will blow up in his face.
Clemson fans are telling us it's ok that the team's results have slipped because of everything Dabo has accomplished in the past. The standard is slipping because you're letting it. DON'T! Dabo raised the bar...keep it there.
What outcomes for the Tigers and Gamecocks in 2024 would garner an A grade? A, B, C, D or even an F? Marc runs through the potential results and tells you what's what with both of the Palmetto teams.
Brian Burns is the best player on the Panthers defense...but Dave Tepper doesn't want to pay him. Why? JJ Hardy of Panthers Culture has a few ideas.
EA Sports earmarked enough money to give every player who opts into the game $600 (and a free copy of the game) but the top players in college football are thumbing their noses at it wanting more. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.
Despite the misgivings with NIL and the portal, college football is still ascending in popularity. Women's college basketball is riding the wave of Caitlin Clark's star power. These sports are on the rise in the US.
How do we make the Upstate sports scene better? We've got some ideas. Marc and Diesel each list their top 5 ways to improve the Upstate sports scene. Do you think these would help?
Schedule easy or schedule hard? That is the question! The programs sitting 10-20 should want to schedule hard to have a quality resume, right? Chris Phillips says the Gamecocks should schedule as easy as possible out of conference.
Pitching usually outpaces hitting early but the offenses EXPLODED in opening weekend. Arkansas lost to a bottom half Sunbelt team. What were the big story lines and surprises of opening weekend for SEC baseball?
Matt Rhule just said the quiet thing out loud. He revealed Nebraska's new soft scheduling policy that is designed specifically to get his team into the playoff. Diesel says "that's fine, not everyone can schedule Vanderbilt for the easy wins".

1-10, how hot is Dabo Swinney's seat going into the 2024 season? Shane Beamer's? How about Dave Aranda at Baylor? Because it's never too early, we rate the seat temperatures of some of college football's biggest coaches.
Super Bowl 58 is "make or break" for 49ers GM John Lynch. He's made bad decision after bad decision at QB, but if the 49ers win Sunday, all is forgiven.
Americans used to come together around big television events. It seems lately though that the Super Bowl is the last event like that. The last event where we ALL watch.
The Upstate's a-growin', fast! New development, new jobs, new restaurants, new entertainment options...so why are so many locals bent about it? Marc and Diesel got into a heated debate with listeners who don't want to see this place change. How do you feel about it all?
Dave Canales fixed Baker Mayfield...can he do it again with Bryce Young? Mark Schofield of SB Nation expects a big jump in Bryce's game and lists the reasons why.
How will Dave Canales rebuild the bridges between the Panthers and the state of South Carolina, many of who's residents feel like the team doesn't care about them anymore? What expectations does he have for his working relationship with a difficult owner? Marc and Diesel spent 10 minutes with new Panthers coach and came away knowing his energy is going to be easy to like.
Clemson went on the road and got a win at top 5 North Carolina - a feat that many listeners of this show thought impossible. Well it happened and now many of you owe this team an apology because this win cements the Tigers as a tournament team.
Are we headed towards central leadership and collective bargaining in college football? Some very smart people think we are.
Tonight feels like a turning point for Clemson's season, doesn't it? Win at UNC and you're set up nicely to make the NCAA Tournament but lose and you might be staring at another NIT berth. Do you have faith in Clemson to get it done?
The Charlotte Hornets stink and it's a franchise where careers go to die...but out of the ashes, rookie Brandon Miller is shining and it's evident from this one particular play that proves he's going to do great things.
Two wins over top 10 teams but they've just now broken into the top 25...why did it take so long? Chris Phillips of SEC Unfiltered blames the Gamecocks' historical meager success and the pervasive expectation that they'll fall apart.
Unranked to 15th! Lamont Paris has been able to parlay the success and buzz around the women's team into his program and it's infectious to watch...unlike Clemson who are spinning their wheels down the stretch.
Who will be the next NFL teams to make and win their first Super Bowl? Diesel predicts the Texans will take strides now that their QB and coach are in place. Listen to find out who Marc picked.
Right: Loyalty, men's and women's basketball program
Wrong: Bottom 10%, Football coach's maturity
Why did Dave Canales get the head coaching job in Carolina? JJ Hardy of Panthers Culture tells Offsides that Dave Tepper was always going to hire a guy who is bought in on Bryce Young.
A listener complains about people who back in to parking spaces. He's mad. He's red hot. How do you feel about this? Do you pull in or back in?
Some of college football's top coaches, those currently at the pinnacle of the sport, want out and it's because they don't like what NIL and the transfer portal have done to the sport. Josh Pate of the Late Kick Show tell us he has sources to prove it.
We've been critical of Clemson's soft transfer portal policy, but will eschewing the transfer portal become a recruiting tool for Clemson? Lawton Swann of Clemson Sports Talk thinks top high school prospects being jumped by portal players will lead to just that.
Ray Tanner has gotten a lot of hate from Gamecock fans over coaching hires. Our question is, does Lamont Paris' and Dawn Staley's basketball success earn him a little slack?
Clemson has a pretty good basketball team this year but the negativity around (what is likely to be) an NCAA tournament team from fans sucks!
"For the love of God, Dan...Kick the field goal". Marc loves Dan Campbell's aggressiveness going for it on 4th down multiple times in the NFC championship game. Jake Crain of Crain & Company goes the other way. They debate here.
Do you realize just how much money Taylor Swift has been worth to the NFL this year? It's truly staggering. The only thing more staggering is the hate she's receiving for just how little time she's actually shown.
Patrick Mahomes is exceedingly AVERAGE in one statistical category but it doesn't seem to be hurting him at all. Seth Walder of ESPN Analytics tells you something that's going to blow your mind.
Yes, Clemson did pursue a few players in the transfer portal, but Chris Phillips of SEC Unfiltered is shocked despite all the criticism that Dabo hasn't been willing to do what it takes to get the portal players his team needs.
Which team choked: Detroit or Baltimore? One did, the other did not. How do you define a choke vs just getting beaten?
You wouldn't believe the hate Marc and Diesel get on a daily basis. To not let it affect us we have to have a sense of humor about it all, so we present to you the nasty, negative comments we've received just this week.
It's not that he can't be successful, but even Tampa sports radio host Zac Blobner says it's too early on Dave Canales. He does also say it's better to be early than to miss out altogether.
JJ Hardy, host of Panthers Culture told us he feels "gut punched" by the Dave Canales hire. Given all the big names tossed around, to go with an unknown coaching prospect points directly to Dave Tepper's ownership of the team.
While the court storm cost South Carolina $100,000 and it plays great on highlight shows and social media, Diesel says facetiously that the win over Kentucky shouldn't count because TECHNICALLY they never finished the game.
Where are the "gimmes" on Clemson's 2024 football schedule? The Tigers may have one of the toughest first 5 games of just about anyone.
All signs point to Michigan hiring their OC Sheronne Moore...the easy comfortable hire. Marc tells Ohio State fans to get used to beating Michigan again.
We're not going to sugar coat it...we're underwhelmed by the Panthers hire of former Buccaneers OC Dave Canales. We hope Carolina found a diamond in the rough with Dave Canales but given Dave Tepper's track record that's all we've got. Hope.
The 2024 schedule sets up nicely for the Clemson Tigers: 7 home games, 1 neutral site, and just 4 true road games but does the placement of the Florida State - Clemson game early in the season cost the winner a valuable data point leading up to the playoff selection?
Dan Morgan is the new Panthers GM, but will he do a good job? David Newton of ESPN who covers the Panthers will make you (as a fan) want to run through a wall to support Dan's new role.
Greenville Red Raiders coach Greg Porter leaving for Laurens left a lot of upstate high school fans scratching their heads. WSPA7's Pete Yanity explains why he left and if he'll be able to find the same success there.
It's insane how consistent this stat is. Every year 6 new teams make the NFL playoffs...which means 6 teams who made it this year will not make it next year. Who will those teams be? 3 from the NFC and 3 from the AFC.
As his return to the NFL seems imminent, will Jim Harbaugh ultimately be remembered as a better college or NFL coach? Jake Crain from Crain and Company weighs in.
On Monday Marc and Diesel graded the Upstate's sports scene a C and C- grade and we're getting push back because of it. We got called out so we respond in kind with a few haymakers of our own.
Fans get too wrapped up in whether the Panthers should hire an offensive coach or a defensive coach...that's the wrong approach. The Panthers should be hiring a culture building head coach.
Marc and Diesel grade the Upstate sports scene a C and C- respectively. There seems to be a large and vocal opposition to growth and expansion and until that changes, C is the best we'll ever get.
Gilber Edmond's transfer from South Carolina to Florida State and back does make "a helluva statement" about South Carolina's program but it doesn't say what Shane Beamer thinks it says. Imagine celebrating getting back with your ex after she cheated on you all over town.
Sean McDermott is not the guy. The data proves it...but Bills fans refuse to see it. This statistic shows that if you don't win the Super Bowl by this point in your career you're not going to.
Given the current player personnel, cap space, and draft capital how long will it take a good GM who makes good decisions to turn the Panthers into playoff contenders again?
A sad truth about your favorite college football team's GOATs. They might not have loved the school as much as you think. Former Alabama corner Marlon Humphrey said he would've entered the transfer portal if he could if the portal was the way it is today.
Look for Georgia, Ole Miss, and Texas to take big steps forward next year in the SEC. Why? Chris Phillips of SEC Unfiltered says the Bulldogs, Rebels, and Longhorns all got what they needed this off season to make themselves significantly better.
Clemson's pre-season ranking continues to drop. If the Tigers don't stem the tide of regression they're in danger of slipping back to the pre-Dabo era.
It sounds simple...but nobody does it. Good on South Carolina for filling in the unused court side seats with students. They're creating a raucous environment in Colonial Life Arena by putting students close to the action.
Stop us if you've heard this one before...Clemson basketball got off to a hot start then starts ACC play 2-4. Even those Clemson fans who have supported Brad Brownell have got to have their finger on the eject button.
Three teams meet these 8 predictors for who will be the Super Bowl champ. One has already been eliminated. So what are the stats and who's still left?
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN??? Today's Southwest "Wanna Get Away?" moment is a reporter who asked Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles how he's preparing his team to play in the brutal Detroit weather conditions not realizing Ford Field is a dome.
After years of going through it himself, what advice does Jim Costa from 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit have for suffering Carolina Panthers fans.
Did Alabama AD Greg Byrne take a not-so-veiled shot at Dabo Swinney when he said "We wanted a coach who is not a dinosaur and can adapt to the changing realities of the game". Seems that way to us...it also seems that maybe he's right.
That's it. We're stripping the Dallas Cowboys of the moniker "America's Team". How does an epic choke job like this happen? Look for wholesale changes next season. No McCarthy. No Prescott.
After starting 10-0 out of conference Clemson basketball has fallen off a cliff going just 1-3 in the ACC. Fans who were high on Brad Brownell in December, how are you feeling now?
Meet the next big thing in Upstate Sports Radio! Grant in Five Forks won the chance to host a segment of Offsides and he CRUSHED IT. Grant predicts an NFL sponsored 2 conference college football future with those who can't hack it getting booted to the kids' table.
Which NFL playoff games are the most intriguing? Marc Ryan ranks the matchups from least sizzle to most sizzle.
Many pundits pushed the "Dabo to Alabama" narrative. They were all wrong. Dabo isn't going anywhere because he doesn't want to leave Clemson like this.
The moment we knew Kalen DeBoer was taking the head coaching job at Alabama was...when he pulled out of his weekly hit on a local radio station.
Would Deion Sanders take the job at Alabama? Of course, but the Crimson Tide could do better. Here are our tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 candidates to fill Nick Saban's headset.
South Carolina fans, Washington should serve as a template and proof that you don't have to have unending patience with your program's rebuild. You will know if you have the right coach fast.
Want to ensure regular season power 5 games hold on to their post-season implications? Give the Group of 5 more access to the playoff not less. Diesel's bold idea would see 7 conference champions and only 5 at large bids making the playoff.
The 4 team playoff era is over. The age of 12 is at hand. So was it a success? Marc argues that the 4 team playoff was disastrous because it didn't end the contention surrounding the BCS and it's made bowl season meaningless.
9 names the Panthers have requested to interview: who do they want to talk to? How far do you have to go down the list to find someone who would say yes to the negativity surrounding David Tepper, this roster, and a long road back to relevance?
It's clear: Jim Harbaugh is the best football coach in America at any level. He also cheated.

2024 Gamecocks position by position...
At which positions will South Carolina improve and at which ones will they take a step back in 2024? Chris Phillips of SEC Unfiltered goes group by group and gives you the ups and downs.
Michigan is the smart kid in class who doesn't need to cheat gets caught cheating. Does Michigan deserve an asterisk if they win the national championship?
Buy or sell: Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles believes Bryce Young will go on to be one the best quarterbacks in the game citing vision, poise, and scramble ability. Is he watching the same Bryce Young we are?
Shane Beamer tweeted "WELCOME HOME" today....but to who? Chris Phillips of SEC Unfiltered tries to decipher a cryptic announcement.
Will Shipley has apparently ended his Clemson career. He ranks 7th in Clemson history in rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns, but is it fair to say he fell well short of expectations? 20 years from now will Clemson fans tell stories about his time wearing orange?
Marc's resolution for Clemson: Make the playoff. Do that and you will have had a good 2024. Diesel's resolution for South Carolina: Implement checks that inhibit Shane Beamer's baser instincts (squawking at media members, kicking coolers).
Clemson will do its own thing in regards to conference realignment but he would be surprised if Clemson and Florida State are not sharing notes (with respect to the Seminoles attempt to exit the ACC via lawsuit) Clemson director of broadcasting Don Munson told Offsides today.
It doesn't get any more honest than this! Don Munson, voice of Clemson football gives Clemson football 2023 his end of season grade. He says "B". Do you agree?
For various reasons Clemson hasn't engaged in the football transfer portal but a key piece of the Tigers' hot basketball start is transfer Joe Girard III. Is the basketball program interested in being an elite portal destination in a way the football program sin't? Diesel asks Don Munson, PBP voice of Clemson basketball.
Has South Carolina football joined many other programs (including Florida) in a regrettable category of teams in college football?
When comparing Clemson's record against Ohio State's record vs SEC teams a South Carolina fan attempted to discount the wins by telling Marc "half of those wins are against us".
This should hurt you if you're a Gamecock fan.
After skull dragging a Florida State team down 21 players due to opt-outs Kirby Smart said "they need to do something" about college football's opt outs but offers neither solutions nor commitment to fix it. He's right but his words ring empty without personal action.
We hate to say it, but this might not actually be rock bottom for the Carolina Panthers...it's likely going to get worse under Dave Tepper. Further more, under Tepper's ownership there's a very real chance the Carolina Panthers end up as irrelevant as the Charlotte Hornets.
It's the last play of the game and Nick Saban calls a QB keeper? SERIOUSLY? It never works and he's not the only one who calls it in that situation. Clemson did it, it didn't work and Dabo defended it too. STOP CALLING THIS PLAY
What Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer has done is nothing short of astounding. The consistency at every stop and the rapid ascension to the national championship game even with a "lesser" roster...what are Shane Beamer and Billy Napier's excuses?
Panthers fans find one last Christmas gift hidden way back behind the tree! Video surfaces of Panthers owner Dave Tepper's frustrations boiling over in Jacksonville and tossing a drink onto a Jaguars fan! Will this be enough to warrant disciplinary action from the NFL?
Courts have ruled on behalf of student athletes vs the NCAA - will they rule the same way on behalf of a school against its conference? Florida State has sued the ACC for failing to create appropriate media rights value and violating the state of Florida's antitrust laws claiming the penalty for withdrawal is unenforceable.
Clemson has loaded up with MUCH NEEDED pass catchers in their 2024 recruiting class including 5-star WR Bryant Westco, 4-star WR TJ Moore, and 4-star TE Christian Bentancur
Just 24 hours ago it looked like South Carolina (18) had a real chance to overtake Clemson (15) in the recruiting rankings but instead they fell to 20th and Clemson rose to 12th. What happened and who did the Tigers sign late to put them out of the Gamecocks' reach?
Former Southern Cal 5-star QB Malachi Nelson has expressed interest in South Carolina. He told SportsTalk Media Network exactly what he likes about the Gamecocks but would it be the right choice for him?
After a hot start Clemson basketball fans have already forgotten about Brad Brownell's previous 13 seasons but administrators don't think the way fans do. "Extend Brownell" or "wait and see": In which direction Does Don Munson believe Clemson's decision makers are leaning?
Marc asks the question about Clemson's conference future. Director of Broadcasting at Clemson Don Munson predicts "no." This is explosive!
If South Carolina can't turn the recruiting rankings and portal classes into wins none of it matters and we've seen when coaches leave, rosters crumble. How concerned is Chris Phillips that that could happen if South Carolina has another sub .500 season in 2024?
Gamecock fans are crowing about filling massive deficiencies that shouldn't exist on an SEC team with transfer portal players - is it deserved? Chris Phillips says every team on the come-up is trying to build the same way.
It's a foregone conclusion that the Panthers will draft a receiver or offensive lineman with their 2nd round pick, right? Jim Szoke, Panthers color analyst told Offsides to not bank on it and to not be surprised if they prioritize other positions.
For the second straight year South Carolina finds themselves above the blue chip ratio, a ratio that accurately predicts teams who can win the national championship (portal additions not included) and Beamer is loading up in the portal too. If this trend holds on paper the Gamecocks will be prepped to make a title push.
In one aspect schools are getting royally screwed by the transfer portal, and that is after investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into a player's development, health, and training that player can just leave. Diesel wants the school the player is transferring into to pay a buy out!
What would it take for AD Marc Ryan to pull Shane Beamer and Billy Napier into his office for a difficult "you're not getting it done" conversation?
Former Arkansas RB Rocket Sanders is now a South Carolina Gamecock and Shane Beamer's portal class is 2 in America. The question is...are they paying Rocket enough to stay or will he blast off again after one year?
Are there legs to the rumor that the Carolina Panthers and owner Dave Tepper are actually considering trading assets to make Bill Belichick the next head coach of the Panthers? JJ Hardy of the Panthers Culture podcast believes there are.
Demand is so low for Carolina Panthers tickets that Dave Tepper will have to start inviting the local Boy and Girls clubs to fill sections. As of posting tickets are available for as low as $8 to Sunday's rivalry game between the Panthers and Falcons.
This day-and age you can't treat NIL and the portal like it's an option. South Carolina and Florida State are bidding on high school recruits and portal players and they're beating Clemson for them.
It's quite obvious, Dabo isn't going to change with respect to the transfer portal. Clemson has the #15 recruiting class with 0 transfer portal commits. Clemson is talking to portal players but isn't doing what it takes to get the commitment.
Looking to mess with your significant other? Try this coffee shop prank that a woman in the UK got her boyfriend with. Marc and Diesel react to this hilarious "best thing we heard today".
What is Clemson fans' aversion to striving for greatness in men's basketball? Clemson has been elite in football, golf, soccer, and softball but fans refuse to chase it in basketball, why?
It was concerning how many players South Carolina lost in the transfer portal but they got a big one back today!
If Cam Newton wasn't such a pain in the *** to deal with he'd still be in the NFL, but he took to his podcast to dog on some of the NFL's best QBs and it just proves he's jealous and bent that he's not in the league anymore while other QBs his age still are.
Marc and Diesel react: A Nashville woman complained that her home, which is next door to a BBQ restaurant is overwhelming her with smells BBQ being smoked. It's "the best thing we heard today" for Dec 12th, 2023.
Clemson basketball and South Carolina football fans are exactly alike in this (unfortunate) way...
Don Munson, director of broadcasting at Clemson told us he would be in favor of creating a new division of the top 60-70 teams...which set Diesel off. Here's why:
1-10, how would you rate each coach's chances to be the head coach long term at their respective schools: Billy Napier at Florida or Shane Beamer at South Carolina? Marc rates both below 5.
Juice Wells publicly announced he was leaving then took a visit from Ole Miss coach, which he showed up to in his university issued and Gamecock branded golf cart and yet still had access to player facilities to get a free haircut. What's more frustrating about that: THAT it happened or that Gamecock fans are defending it? with Chris Phillips of the Spurs Up Show
At the end of last season it was apparent Brad Brownell needed to take a big step to keep his job...well, it seems like he is. Clemson are undefeated and ranked ahead of many of college basketball's blue bloods.
Shane Beamer's record after 3 seasons is not what Gamecock fans expected. So what does he need to achieve to stay employed after the 2024 season? After the 2025 season? Chris Phillips of The Spurs Up Show with the hard numbers.
LaNorris Sellers is the "QB elect" in Columbia...but if a top QB is available in the portal should South Carolina add another? Chris Phillips of The Spurs Up Show says "we should get two".
Kadarius Toney was so far offsides he might as well be a member of this show! Patrick Mahomes' multiple interview question responses and rants are a bad look. Defenses don't get warnings when they're offsides, offenses shouldn't either.
Shane Beamer has to come out and say something about this!
Somehow after entering the transfer portal Juice Wells was allowed back into Gamecock facilities and fleeced Carolina again for a free haircut. Is anyone there even paying attention?
Furman football's senior leadership knows this is it. In what is likely Furman football's best chance in years to make the FCS final 4, Dan Scott details the elder players who have their teammates focused and ready.
Even if the Carolina Panthers do everything right starting today when does Marc think the team will be competitive?
College football players have gas lit fans into believing all the benefits they receive as part of their scholarship agreement are valueless. Many of you have fallen for it and back athletes for whom it's only about the money.
"Nothing is more difficult than bad ownership behaving badly" - JJ Hardy, operator of Panthers Culture has harsh words for Panthers owner David Tepper who has squandered as much good will as he possibly can among fans, especially those from South Carolina.
In just his second year at South Carolina Lamont Paris has the Gamecocks 7-1 while Shane Beamer has the football program treading deep water. We're here to tell you...lean in. It's time for Gamecock fans to embrace being a legitimate basketball school.
Two programs that were in dire straits at the end of last season, Clemson and South Carolina, came into Wednesday night's game undefeated and both deserve massive congratulations for that.
We thought Shane Beamer was building a culture at South Carolina - is he really doing that if he's losing THIS MANY players (16 so far)?
The truth is, a lot of transfer portal situations need to not work out. The nearly half of players who enter the portal who don't find a spot should be a warning to players that the grass isn't always greener.
The debate of who'd get in to the college football playoff shouldn't have even involved Florida State...but it's not for the reason you think.
"Karma crawled out of hell and bit everyone in the a**crack" - Crazy Ralph gleefully revels in Florida State's exclusion from the college football playoff...but is he right? Was FSU rightfully left out because they were diminished without Jordan Travis?
Florida State being IN the college football playoff is just, leaving them out proves the playoff committee is corrupt.
Boomer Esiason and Mike Valenti have got you covered for all things NFL. Penalties are a problem. 49ers best team in the league. What coaches are staying and which are going. of course, picks against the spread fopr week 13.

"I could see Dabo Swinney resigning or taking a different job in college football". Analytics expert Kelley Ford of The Line doesn't believe Dabo will ever be fired at Clemson, but he does put a time table on when he thinks the era ends.
"There's two types of people...the guy on the Titanic helping people onto the life raft and getting in one or the guy playing the violin as the ship goes down, Dabo's got a choice to make". Jake Crain of The Daily Wire's Crain & Company implores Dabo Swinney to be more like Nick Saban, malleable at the top.
How long will it take for Clemson QB Cade Klubnik and wonderkid OC Garrett Riley to "click"? Clemson PBP voice Don Munson gives a time table.
Spencer Rattler is 55 of 66 through two games and developing into the QB Gamecock fans hoped he would be when he came to Columbia...but the team around him isn't. Is Rattler good enough to transcend his roster?
Are we setting up for two 5-6 teams playing for bowl eligibility in the 2023 South Carolina-Clemson game? Marc and Diesel re-pick Clemson's schedule and think it's scarily possible.

Clemson football has problems: The team looks ill prepared and the fans aren't creating an intimidating home environment are two of them. Listen to hear the other three.
Reacting to the embarrassing loss to the Tarheels, Gamecock fan Crazy Ralph dropped a mic the size of a telephone pole on Shane Beamer and South Carolina today.
Clemson's Death Valley is not an intimidating place to play anymore and it's because fans got so used to winning they got soft. It's up to you Tiger fans - what are you going to do about it?
Chance to make the CFP, to win their conferences, to win 8 games or more, Kelley Ford of TheLines.com packs as many Gamecock and Tiger stats as he can into 3 minutes.
The South Carolina Gamecocks have shown a crafty ability to beat the models. Kelley Ford of TheLines.com picked South Carolina as a program who the numbers don't love but have a good chance to out perform them. Kelley explains why.
Matt Olson's play has Braves fans asking "Freddie, who?"
Diesel asked "The Spurs Up Show" host Chris Phillips which seemingly key Gamecock defection's replacement will turn out to be an upgrade?
Gamecock fans will absolutely win in the stands on Saturday, September 2nd but it won't be enough. Marc explains why North Carolina will narrowly edge out the Gamecocks in their week 1 game.
Football is back. what dos your SO think of the sport? Cole Bryson Called us. Marcs SO rating system is taking wings and working.

Clemson has not been disrespected like this in a decade and it's the best thing that could've happened to them. In the AP Poll's first pre-season ranking the Seminoles sit one spot higher than the Tigers and Diesel says "GOOD".
A fan on Clemson message board TigerNet believes Ohio State University is tasking Goodyear blimps across the south to do...what???
In this world of undervalued NFL RBs, South Carolina's Dakereon Joyner's variable skill set as a QB, WR, and now RB sets him up to be a VERY attractive pro prospect.
The Colts Jonathan Taylor has ended his hold out but still bemoans the undervaluing of the running back position. It's not dying - it's just changing and GMs got burned too many times by the massive RB contracts of the 2010s to continue increasing contracts when the production just isn't there.
4-star Jalewis Salomon chose Auburn over South Carolina. It caused a stir. We asked Aubun writer Bryan Matthews about it from Auburn's perspective -- he tells Gamecock fans to deal with it.
If Spencer Rattler, Nyck Harbor, Juice Wells and Dakereon Joyner, who's now listed as the #1 RB on multiple depth charts gel, you're looking at a top 10 offense in the country at South Carolina.
The ACC leaves Clemson woefully unprepared when the Tigers face tougher competition in the playoff. The conference is also leaving Clemson financially under-prepared to compete. The ACC no longer serves Clemson's interests anymore and it's time to leave...but brass is silent. Why?
So you're telling me there's a chance!!! Here are our 25 teams with at least a snow ball's chance to make this year's college football playoff.
Fans' feathers are ruffled, but South Carolina being outside of the Coaches' Poll top 25 is a GOOD thing. Marc says it actually improves the Gamecocks' chances to beat North Carolina in week 1.
Preeminent football voice Brett McMurphy says there is a school that adds value to the SEC but it's not Clemson or Florida State
Over the weekend Jalewis Soloman flipped from South Carolina to Auburn, the Gamecocks' NIL collective said the thing out loud that you're not supposed to say out loud and it got NASTY. Chris Phillips joined us to make sense of it all.
With the massive news of Oregon and Washington heading to the Big 10, Marc says the SEC should stand pat and add absolutely no one, leaving Clemson and Florida State out...and here's why:
Exactly 2 years ago Paul Finebaum ripped Marc Ryan and said Clemson and Florida State to the SEC had "not a 1% chance of EVER happening" calling it "laughable", yet now believes they'd be "perfect fits". Hmmm.
Where are the most likely losses and most likely wins on the South Carolina Gamecocks 2023 football schedule?
The Big 10 is meeting to explore further expansion and are believed to be targeting Oregon and Washington. That aggressiveness is a good thing for Clemson and Florida State fans because it may well force the SEC's hand to add the Tigers and Seminoles.
THIS was the single biggest mistake in realignment and today eschewing this decision would be unheard of.
Conference by conference and big picture - where is realignment going? Clemson and FSU to the Big 10? North Carolina to the SEC? Big 12 ripping the heart out of the PAC (how many teams do they have again)? Here are Marc and Diesel's predictions.
The commitment of 5-star Dylan Stewart to South Carolina moves the needle for fans, but does it elevate the Gamecocks above where they've been as a program? The facts say "not yet".
If the Bobby Petrino hire doesn't work out the way Jimbo Fisher wants it to will Aggie faithful learn their lesson and reset or offer the next guy another massive deal? Houston radio's Josh Beard believes they'll make the same mistake next time.
Marc: I do not see Clemson panicking and jumping ship to the Big 10...because Clemson realizes they are 1A or 1B on the SEC's wish list.
Diesel: don't underestimate the impatience of men in expensive suits who want more money.
Imagine a world where Clemson wins just 9 games and finds themselves in a QB controversy for a second straight season...or a world where South Carolina fails to make a bowl. What are the best and worst case scenarios for the 2023 Tigers and Gamecocks.
How prepared does Clemson QB Cade Klubnik feel to be QB1? In his on words Cade refers to the elevated standards separating Clemson from other schools in the conference.
Dabo Swinney says he actively tries to talk players out of coming to Clemson to vet them and evaluate who really wants to be there. Listen here to Dabo's conversation with Marc Ryan and Rob Brown.
The ACC is in trouble. Its top teams find themselves at a $30 million per year deficit to the SEC and Big 10 and want out for greener pastures. What would you do to improve the conference immediately and make Clemson, Florida State and UNC want to stay?
We have a problem in this country...America is seriously lacking sports super stars. Besides Lebron, Steph, Aaron Rodgers (and a very short list of others) who else can legitimately be counted as a "super star"?
The "real Carolina", the "real USC", the "real Columbia".
It's fascinating that South Carolina finds itself in three territorial disputes and has legitimate cause to concede all three.
Don't crown Florida State yet - Marc ranks the Seminoles 3rd best in the ACC in his pre-season ACC power poll. Listen for Marc's top 5.
Being a great regular season but not winning in the playoffs is like having warning track power. Marc undresses those who solely look at QB wins to rank quality QBs in the NFL.
Pollsters have the South Carolina Gamecocks hovering near the top 25, but the analytics have them sitting in the bottom third of the SEC. Clearly one is wrong, but who?
Let's look at the NFC...which teams will improve their record in 2023 and which ones will regress?
We take your submissions to name the future Spartanburg minor league team - some of these names you'll have to hear to believe they were actually submitted.
Should Braves fans panic after coming out of the All-Star break 2 and 4? No. World Series teams struggle through stretches every year.
Lane Kiffin called NIL and the transfer portal a "disaster". In the most candid comments at SEC media day Lane slammed the lack of leadership and consequence in CFB. Bi-partisan legislation has been introduced. Is the answer government intervention?
From Shane Beamer's time on the podium at SEC media day it's obvious the swagger he's developing personally and in his program and it's exactly what the program needed. That, and other observations from Beamer's time at the podium.
These 8 teams are under significant pressure to win in 2023. Making the list: Miami, Texas, and South Carolina. Listen to find out why each are feeling the heat.
Atlanta Braves rank inside the top 10 among the biggest sports brands in America. Over rated? Under rated? Where do you place them?
Kentucky Wildcats writer Nick Roush from On 3 Sports details why the blood is so bad between Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops and South Carolina's Shane Beamer.
If your name isn't on this list your team isn't winning the Super Bowl. It's Marc Ryan's list of QBs who can win it all in 2023.
- Alabama
- Georgia
- LSU
- Texas
- Oklahoma
- Florida
- Texas A&M
- Tennessee
- Auburn
- Ole Miss
- South Carolina
- Kentucky
- Arkansas
- Missouri
- Mississippi State
- Vanderbilt
Offsides had a contentious showdown with 247 Sports' Brad Crawford based on a tweet regarding the tenures and futures of Shane Beamer, Will Muschamp, and Steve Spurrier. It got heated but Brad was willing to come on our show and have a discussion about it. This is must listen.
These Atlanta Braves are "the best Braves team in my lifetime" says Marc Ryan. Statistically a virtual lock to make the World Series. And they're doing it differently from every other team in baseball.
Shane Beamer has done a better job than most creating a positive culture at South Carolina but in many aspects he's the equal of Will Muschamp. Will he ultimately end up closer to Muschamp or ascend to the heights of Steve Spurrier?
Neither Clemson nor South Carolina fans will tell on themselves, so we invited Gamecocks and Tigers fans to point fingers at each other.
Tell us the most embarrassing moments in your rival's athletic history that always make you chuckle.
"Florida has gotten their collective organized". Is that the reason Clemson lost out on coveted recruit Fletcher Westphal or is it due to the way Dabo Swinney does what he does?
Does the SEC's expansion with Texas and Oklahoma dash South Carolina's dreams of ascension in the league? We ask Heisman voter Brent Beaird what Gamecocks fans' perspective should be on the inclusion of two more quality teams.
By the numbers Atlanta, Tampa Bay, and Texas are the only three teams who can win the 2023 World Series...
who else is close?
If Texas is going to be exposed when they join the SEC in 2024 it'll be because of this. Also, how ready to play is Arch Manning? 247 Sports' Taylor Gaspar Estes gives Offsides the latest from Austin.
47% of blue chip QB's transfer. That's not hate. It's fact. Marc and Diesel take their best guess at which Gamecock and Tigers QB's may eventually hit the road.
Shane Beamer and Gamecock recruiting was on fire in April and May, slumped in June, and look poised for a big July. What happened? Why the drop off ? Chris Phillips of The Spurs Up Show lends his thoughts on that and predicts 2 blue chip names nearing a decision SC fans will like.
Between Marc and Diesel one of them predicts Shane Beamer will be fired before 2035 (a 15 year tenure), the other predicts a lifetime run. When and how will Shane Beamer's term as South Carolina's head coach end?
Dabo has expressed disillusionment with the direction of college football and he's 53. When and how will Dabo's tenure at Clemson end? Marc and Diesel shake our magic 8 balls and predict the future.
What advice did De'Aaron Fox give the newest Sacramento King Jalen Slawson over breakfast? Fresh off his very first practice as a King, Jalen Slawson joined Offsides to talk about the surreal moment of hearing his name called in the draft, what event he thinks will hit him "now I'm a pro", and what role he thinks he'll fill for the team.
Whittle the top 6 Gamecock players ever down to 4...who you got? You won't believe who Chris Phillips of The Spurs Up Show takes OUT of his top 4 among George Rogers, Alshon Jeffery, Marcus Lattimore, Connor Shaw, and Jadeveon Clowney.
If 2023 South Carolina played 2023 Southern Cal 5 times who would win more? Bill Bender answers "USC". Hmmm...Marc follows up asking which will be the better "Carolina". You'll have to listen to find out which is the superior USC and Carolina.
If your NFL team made the playoff there's a better than 0 chance your team falls flat in 2023 and misses the post season entirely. So who's it gonna be?
Besides your traditional rivals - what programs do you want to see fail in 2023 and why?
Marc wants to see Florida State fail because it's too soon to be getting so much hype and he wants to see USC fail because they're part of the snooty rich kid club. Diesel wants to see James Madison fail for always trying to skirt the NCAA's transition rules.
Projected top 10 draft pick G.G. Jackson fell to the 45th pick. Marc Ryan says South Carolina is not responsible for G.G Jackson's poor decisions, and that G.G's slide in no way is a poor reflection of Gamecock Basketball.
How would SEC fans feel about adding the team from Raleigh?
Brad Crawford of 247 told us "UNC to the Big 10 is going to happen if the ACC folds – NC State is football hungry and Carter Finley Stadium is the 3rd best atmosphere in the ACC on game day" favoring the Wolf Pack as a prime target for SEC expansion.
South Carolina is striving (and is close to achieving) a crucial statistic that has correctly picked the national champion in each of the last 20 years and in-so-doing the author took a shot at "3rd tier" programs like South Carolina, Ole Miss, Michigan State, and TCU. The question is, is it a cheap shot or a valid point?
Ratings and revenue win in the debate in every proposed change. College football, despite making more money than ever is sick. Here's why:
Too soon or do you believe? Colin Cowherd picks the Panthers to win the NFC South - Marc ain't buying it. He gives the nod to Derek Carr the Saints.
Clemson's class of 2025 QB commit Blake Hebert spent 15 minutes with Marc and Diesel. What element of Clemson's pitch put the Tigers over the top and what smoke and mirrors did other schools throw at him that didn't? You'll be thrilled with this young 17 year old's humbleness and humility.
Shane Beamer and South Carolina recruiting was ON FIRE in April but the Gamecocks haven't received a commitment from a blue chip recruit in almost 2 months...is there a cause for concern or are big things on the horizon?
Why is Dabo Swinney mocked? Why is he constantly called "fake" by fans across the country? Sure he can be corny, but like it or not those around him say that's who he authentically is. What are your real opinions of Clemson's head man?
The #6 QB in the 2025 recruiting class, Blake Hebert, is now a Clemson Tiger. He chose Clemson over Notre Dame, Penn State, and Auburn. Here's what we know so far:
All this technology and yet the NFL is getting worse, not better at evaluating quarterbacks. The bust rate is going up. Why is that? Diesel thinks the answer is simple...
"Your rivalries don't matter" is basically what the 2024 SEC schedulers said to South Carolina. With the 2024 opponent release South Carolina will essentially join the SEC west, playing none of their traditional eastern rivals. You should be furious.
2023 will see the MAC as the worst overall conference in college football history based on pre-season rankings. It will also see the ACC as the worst Power 5 conference, but barely. How do you rank the five power conferences (then listen to see if you're right).
It'll either create must-watch TV or will fall flat...Tonight the SEC is attempting an NFL-style schedule reveal show and we already know what the big reveal is...so will you watch?
Every fan has a list of programs they hate. Right now, today in 2023 South Carolina fans' bleep list has to be:
5 Kentucky
4 Missouri
3 Georgia
2 Florida
1 Clemson
Did Marc get it right?
Clemson's 2018 team ranks SECOND on Kelley Ford's all-time most dominant teams in college football behind WHO???
South Carolina excels at the intangibles and "All the intangibles seem to be moving in unison". Last year Gamecock fans ripped Kelley Ford's model for not including special teams. Kelley qualifies for the 2023 Gamecocks, telling Offsides that those intangibles will help South Carolina exceed expectations.
Every fan has a hierarchy of schools they hate. Marc lists Clemson fans' **** list as:
5 NC State
4 Florida State
3 Ohio State
2 Tennessee
1 South Carolina
Where is he right - where is he wrong?
SC won head to head series
Clemson entered post season #3/SC unranked
Clemson will finish season ranked higher
Clemson won their conference
SC advanced to super regional, Clemson did not
So who had the better season?
Game 1 of the super regional is tonight. South Carolina vs Florida. The question is: If you can only choose one, would Gamecock fans rather win this super regional or beat Florida October 14th in football? Choose option A and you go to Omaha - choose option B and it makes your road to a bowl game and the SEC East title MUCH easier.
For South Carolina only 1 game appears unwinnable while 9 games appear losable. If the Tigers were to drop a game to a team beneath them where could it come? Where might the Gamecocks and the Tigers surprises come from in 2023?
Live from the BMW Charity Pro Am, author of a perfect game David Wells joined Offsides. He revealed the circumstances surrounding that night, what uniform he loved pitching in most, and whether he believes Babe Ruth would be great in today's game.
The most popular athlete on the planet, soccer star Lionel Messi has shunned the Saudii's 3 yrs $1.6 billion offer and we couldn't be prouder of him. He's doing the right thing by not accepting Saudi blood money.
What PGA commissioner Jay Monahan did completely blind sided and sold out players who have had his back for the last year and PGA players are right to be furious with him.
Former Clemson player Justin Falcinelli is leading the charge for star players to receive far more than the $500 per player offered by EA Sports for opting in to the NCAA Football game due out next year. A move that risks forcing the price much higher or killing the game entirely.
Clemson fans are elated that Sammy Brown chose them over Georgia. Jeremy Johnson, national recruiting writer from On 3 Sports highlights what kind of player the Tigers are getting in Sammy and names names of the next big shoes that could drop in Clemson's favor.
In a move that will end all litigation between the leagues, the PGA and LIV will merge, a move that Marc calls "a deal with the devil" and Diesel calls "selling out". The tours have merged but that doesn't change our opinions on a clear moral wrong.
The #1 linebacker in America, 5-star ILB Sammy Brown gave his verbal commitment to Clemson, choosing the Tigers over Georgia. Should Sammy's commitment push #22 Clemson past #10 South Carolina in the 2024 247 recruiting rankings?
Ask coaches and it's happening everywhere but how do you stop it? Shane Beamer is bent about multiple former Gamecocks telling him everything was fine just days before entering the portal. He insinuates tampering but won't name names of who's doing it.
There is exactly one fan base that, if he was single, Marc Ryan would never date. And congrats, Gamecocks. Today is your lucky day. Marc makes it clear 90% of all Gamecocks he knows are good folks, but he'd never subject a lady to that bottom 10% - the worst he's ever encountered.
Any way you try to slice it, the SEC's divisionless 8 conference game model will give some teams brutal schedules and some teams much easier schedules. There's only one way to make this work.
South Carolina's goal is 8+ wins. Clemson's goal is a return to the CFP. What has to happen for each to realize that?
The college baseball post season is underway and it's clear that among Clemson and South Carolina fans, the fear of choking supersedes the excitement. It proves you care what other people (especially your rivals) think about you.
What do the numbers think about SC going back to back vs Clemson -- Can they do it? Kelley Ford says, "YES...but..."
Mark Stoops will do anything to stop a 9 game SEC schedule. The Kentucky fan base expects 8-9 win seasons and adding another Power 5 opponent adds another hurdle.
Diesel: "It’s a disgrace what the college baseball world series does to elite small programs" and South Carolina has been the ultimate benefactor TWICE. Campbell did everything they were asked to do and awarding the regional to anyone else is an egregious case of helmet scouting.
Athlon magazine says Spencer Rattler is not on the medal stand for all SEC quarterbacks in 2023. On top of that their offensive and defensive lines are expected to struggle too. But that's not the only bad news.
Chris Phillips of The Spurs Up Show predicts 2 of the 3 palmetto teams playing in a college baseball regional will advance and you'll never guess which team he believes will have their hopes dashed.
The first coach fired in 2023 will come from the Big 10. Who else is on the chopping block?

Marc Ryan Tells You Which College Baseball Team Goes As Far As The Upstate Teams. Does He Hit A HomeRun Or Strike Out?
The Number One Reason Why Clemson Wants Out Of the ACC and Why Clemson Has The Right to Want To Leave the ACC
If the Braves want to win a world series they need to trade Ronald Acuña Jr for a lights out closer...an idea pitched by former Braves right hander Jose Alvarez. Ludicrous or painfully true?
The Atlanta Braves are playing lights out baseball but they're missing a crucial component to be a championship caliber team and you'll never believe who Braves legend Jose Alvarez would trade to get it.
"I've got my fingers crossed for him" says Russell Brown, NFL draft analyst about Bryce Young's future. Can he be a long term QB in the NFL? Was he the right QB for Carolina at #1?
Will Cade Klubnik join Clemson's QB medal stand before he leaves? By the numbers, here's what Cade needs to achieve to surpass Tajh, Trevor, or Deshaun.
One survey ranks South Carolinians in the top half of attractiveness nation wide - another puts us squarely in the bottom 10. What gives? Offsides debates which one is more accurate and why certain areas are better at attracting the babes.
Landon Powell doesn't lose players off his roster to the portal and even attracts power 5 players to division 2 NGU - how? There's a secret he's figured out that other coaches at bigger programs haven't.
Former major leaguer and Gamecock great Landon Powell rejects the notion that Yankee RF Aaron Judge was cheating and recalls a rumor that the Blue Jays themselves have their own history with cheating and stealing signs.
We’re in the end game now. It’s been demanded. It’s been discussed. But will unequal revenue distribution save the ACC as we know it? No. Here’s why:
How many national championships will Clemson win during the Cade Klubnik era? Will Lamont Paris make the NCAA tournament? Are multiple titles in Dawn Staley's immediate future? 3 bold predictions for South Carolina and Clemson's next 3 athletic years.
ESPN is completely powerless to keep Clemson, Florida State, and the rest of the ACC's "magnificent 7" happy or keep them locked in their contract. Here's why.
Ja Morant's gun violations and subsequent NBA suspensions aren't legal matters - they're NBA rules violations. The first incident is a clear violation of the NBA's collectively bargained rules. The second is a clear betrayal of the NBA's leniency following the first incident.
The NFL has announced its full schedule and it's too much. Now with games on Black Friday and multiple Saturdays it's too much. Do you agree? Would you like the NFL to return to its traditional Sunday/Monday model?
History and the numbers point towards the Dallas Stars as the 2023 Stanley Cup champions but what are odds the Carolina Hurricanes play spoiler?
When it's all said and done will Shane Beamer go down as the best coach in South Carolina football history? What exactly does he need to achieve to be the GGOAT?
Why are the ratings so low on the Gamecocks in 2023? Kelly Ford, owner of K Ford Ratings explains why his model sees South Carolina finishing 13th in the SEC this season and the factors the models just can't predict.
Clemson's newest 5-star DL commit 6'4" 290 Hevin Brown-Shuler says the tradition at defensive lineman is a huge part of what attracted him to Clemson and names the players who wore orange and white that helped make his decision easier. He also claims he could eat FIFTY wings if he hadn't eaten all day.
South Carolina fans who believe 6-6 in year 3 of Shane Beamer have a loser's mentality. A Gamecock fan told us today that that would be acceptable. Offsides grades South Carolina's possible outcomes for the 2023 season A - F.
If Clemson fails to win the ACC and by extension misses the college football playoff we will hear the first very real disgruntled rumblings within the fan base on Dabo's performance. We grade the potential outcomes for the 2023 season A- F.
Both said a bad word but WVU head coach Bob Huggins' faux pa was character revealing and he should be fired - we believe Oakland A's broadcaster Glen Kuiper made a mental mistake and he should not.
Only 4 teams are predicted to win every game this season...Clemson is one of them. What team is the biggest threat on their 2024 schedule? HINT: It's not the Gamecocks
Attention to all coaches who don't come on our show: Clemson was 15-13 before coach Erik Bakich came on. They've gone 16-4 since. Clemson softball has also been lights out since John Rittman joined us. It's time to recognize the Offsides bump!
One prognosticator predicts 9 wins another predicts 5...so why the massive discrepancy in the Gamecocks' 2023 predicted win total? One of the major outlets doesn't trust Shane Beamer's squad AT ALL!!!
This roster hack that no other team has figured out will win the Atlanta Braves a world series.
The signing of Bryce Young and Andy Dalton this off season essentially solidifies that it's over for Matt Corral in Carolina. The team needs to do the right thing and trade him. He's too talented to sit 3rd on the depth chart.
Both have 4 titles: Lebron wins and he cements his legacy. Steph wins and he surpasses Lebron. Steph vs Lebron...game 1 tonight...winner takes the "GOAT of this era" legacy.
"Let's see if Clemson can get back to the promised land and hopefully South Carolina doesn't pass them by" - a dig on Clemson or a dig on South Carolina? Just hours before appearing on the national draft show Booger McFarland dropped a precision strike on our show, but at whom was it directed?
How important is the situation a quarterback prospect gets drafted into? It's CRITICAL. The percentage of QBs who get drafted into "good" situations who hit vs those who get drafted into "bad" situations who hit will blow your mind.
South Carolina 4-star QB Braden Davis enters portal - should Luke Doty leave too? Yes - and for the same reason! Here's that reason.
With the 29th pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Mike Triplett - on behalf of the New Orleans Saints - selects, Lucas Van Ness, DL Iowa.
With the 28th pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, James Rapien - on behalf of the Cincinnati Bengals - selects, Emmanuel Forbes, DB Mississippi State
There is a stigma among NFL scouts that make them want to run away from Clemson prospect some of whom describe Clemson prospects as “really smart” but “spoiled”. There's also something Dabo does at pro days that turns scouts off from Clemson players. But does the stigma have any foundation?
"Immature but "gets it" when connecting with young recruits"..."Unshakable in his convictions but stuck in his ways". Here are Shane Beamer and Dabo Swinney's worst and best personality traits according to Offsides.
With the 27th pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Nate Geary - on behalf of the Buffalo Bills - selects, Treneton Simpson LB Clemson
With the 26th pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Newy Scruggs - on behalf of the Dallas Cowboys - selects, Nolan Smith, DE Georgia
With the 25th pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Karlos Ortiz - on behalf of the New York Giants - selects John Michael Schmitz, C Minnesota
Clemson was "calling plays scared when I was under center" said former Tiger DJ Uiagalelei to The Athletic. It was his perception of his time in Tiger Town and he's right. It was a bad scheme ran by a bad OC who didn't know how to use the whole field. He's not a Tiger anymore so he doesn't have to wear the kid gloves anymore.
It's a foregone conclusion that the Carolina Panthers are taking Alabama's Bryce Young #1 but why not the bigger bodied CJ Stroud of Ohio State? A former NFL executive explains why teams absolutely can't take Stroud.
With the 24th pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Mike DiRocco - on behalf of the Jacksonville Jaguars - selects Anton Harrison OT Oklahoma.
With the 23rd pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Luke Braun - on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings - selects Brian Branch LB Alabama
Call it helmet scouting - call it blue blood privilege - There are teams who get preseason hype every year but consistently under perform and we've had enough of it. These are the most over rated programs in college football pre-season polls over the last 31 years.
"She's the female version of Shohei Ohtani" - Marc Ryan and Diesel speak with Clemson head softball coach John Rittman about his star pitcher Valerie Cagle, the virality of the fan experience, and the support (and lessons) he's learned from Dabo Swinney in his time at Clemson.
Ja Morant is talented but he isn't valuable...and the numbers prove it. Ja sells tickets and gets people to watch, but over time when he's out of the lineup the Grizzlies are a better team.
With the 22nd pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Kirk McEwen - on behalf of the Baltimore Ravens - selects Cam Smith, DB South Carolina.
It's just roster management, people. It happens literally everywhere.
Dabo Swinney is catching heat for publicly announcing that several walk-ons who held scholarships in 2022 likely won't in 2023. It's better that he's forthright about it than cutting players in the shadows.
With the 21st pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Daniel Wade - on behalf of the Los Angeles Chargers - selects Zay Flowers, WR Boston College.
Most recent win on the field: South Carolina
Higher recruiting class: South Carolina
Who's getting the best Palmetto recruits: South Carolina
Marc and Diesel agree: "Win 3 in a row and the Gamecocks run the state".
Is Clemson slipping in the recruiting rankings because Dabo Swinney's "family first" message doesn't resonate with today's recruits? On 3's Jeremy Johnson is inside the minds of America's top recruits and answers how well Dabo's pitch is landing.
With the 20th pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Bob Condotta - on behalf of the Seattle Seahawks - selects Will Levis, QB Kentucky.
With the 19th pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Zac Blobner - on behalf of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - selects Darnell Wright, OT Tennessee
With Luke Doty seemingly falling down the South Carolina QB depth chart, should he transfer? We put The Spurs Up Show's Chris Phillips in Luke's shoes and ask him what he would do.
"I'd be surprised if any opponent holds South Carolina under 30 points this year". Marc's initial thoughts having watched the Gamecocks' spring game.
"He hears you and that he's willing to make a change if Clemson doesn't make the NCAA tournament (in 2023-24)". Marc Ryan takes you inside the viral Graham Neff sideline conversation.
Clemson recruiting: “Not good enough”.
South Carolina knocks on the top 10 nationally in recruiting following the commitment of Dillon, SC's Josiah Thompson marking now 4 of the top 7 recruits in the state choosing the Gamecocks.
With the 18th pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Jim Costa - on behalf of the Detroit Lions - selects Calijah Kancey, DL PItt
He's taking pre-game dunks but doesn't play. He got his bag yet Zion has played in just a third of the games he's been a Pelican. At this point it's not money, it's mentality...does Zion even want to play?
With the 17th overall pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Mike Asti - on behalf of the Pittsburgh Steelers - selects Joey Porter Jr, WR Penn State.
These 15 players are guaranteed to hit in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft...plus, Marc offers one sleeper QB who will make a team very happy.
With the 16th overall pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Tobi Altizer - on behalf of the Washington Commanders - selects, Deonte Banks, DB Maryland.
The Carolina Panthers cannot receive an "A" grade in this NFL draft. So, what's the best they can do? Marc goes potential target by potential target and grades them.
What Shane Beamer is achieving should be raising the standards at South Carolina. So, what are they? What minimum bar of success should Gamecock fans expect the team to reach?
How is it possible that Michael Jordan was so great as a player yet so bad as an owner. Under his ownership the Charlotte Hornets are the picture of mediocrity, but how? It's because he "owns from afar". He's barely involved and we couldn't be happier he's selling his stake in the team.
How well will Rattler and Loggains mesh? Can Clemson move the ball vertically? Here are the steps forward we want to see from the Gamecocks and Tigers in their 2023 spring games.
With the 15th overall pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Evan Western - on behalf of the Green Bay packers - selects Myles Murphy, OLB Clemson.
With the 14th overall pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Chad Brillante - on behalf of the New England Patriots - selects Quentin Johnston, WR TCU
LIV Golf's Brooks Koepka held a 2 shot lead going into the final round of The Masters - the PGA's Jon Rahm won by 4. The good guys won - the bad guys lost. Now it's time for LIV to go away.
With the 13th overall pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Colton Gesser - on behalf of the New York Jets - selects Christian Gonzalez, DB Oregon. Colton explains why:
A consensus seems to be forming inside Panthers offices as to who they'd like to select with the #1 overall pick..but is it the right guy?
You don't put the climax of the movie right at the beginning - so why does golf play its biggest major at the very beginning of the season? Marc wants to move the Masters to later in the calendar.
Manny Machado was the first player to strike out for violating the 10 second batter's clock, protested, and was tossed. Old hats can still hate the rule changes but can't argue with the increased hitting, base stealing, and general excitement.
With the 12th overall pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Paul Gallant - on behalf of the Houston Texans - selects Jordan Addison, WR USC.
Gamecock fans...Tiger fans...we know the team you know the 2nd most about is each other. Here are the most glaring question marks both South Carolina and Clemson have heading into their spring games.
With the 11th overall pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Braden Gall - on behalf of the Tennessee Titans - selects Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR Ohio State. Braden explains why:
The problem with Angel Reese's "you can't see me" gesture isn't Angel Reese at all - it's the Kenneths and the Karens who don't understand sports trash talking culture. The bigger problem with the end of the season is Jill Biden inviting the losing team to the White House.
Accuracy, arm strength, decision making, quick feet, overall speed - who's better skill by skill: South Carolina senior Spencer Rattler or Clemson sophomore Cade Klubnik? Marc Ryan and Diesel split on the most important category.
In January the NCAA released a 45 page power point presentation that officially lists Clemson's football championship total as ZERO. The NCAA does not officially recognize Clemson's national titles. In fact, in their record South Carolina has more total national championships than Clemson, leading the Tigers 5-4.
With the 10th overall pick in the 2023 Offsides media mock draft, Glenn Erby - on behalf of the Philadelphia Eagles - selects Peter Skoronski, OL Northwestern
We're beside ourselves trying to figure out how Dawn Staley got so badly out coached in the Gamecocks' final 4 defeat to Iowa. This is our opinion and it's supported by LSU's Kim Mulkey who diagnosed South Carolina's problem in a press interview.
"We want guys with a chip on their shoulder"...First year Clemson baseball coach Erik Bakich has a very specific strategy with regards to the transfer portal.
Offsides and South Carolina's Shane Beamer have had our differences, but today is the head Gamecock's birthday so we thought we'd bury the hatchet and offer up some gift ideas that we'd like to send his way.
Over the past 10 seasons 50% of first round NFL draft picks hit and 50% miss. Marc grades each of Mel Kiper Jr's first round mock selections as a boom or a bust. You'll be shocked by at least one of these.
With the 9th overall pick in the Offsides 2023 NFL media mock draft, Rob Schwarz - on behalf of the Chicago Bears - selects Paris Johnson Jr, T Ohio State. Rob explains why:
With the 8th pick in the Offsides 2023 NFL media mock draft, Joe Patrick - on behalf of the Atlanta Falcons - selects Bijan Robinson, RB Texas. Joe explains why:
Marc and Diesel both agree the NFL draft is the #1 most intriguing sports topic to Upstaters right now. The question is...If the Lady Gamecocks were out of the NCAA tournament would the women's tournament even be in South Carolina residents' top 5 current sports topics?
The Atlanta Braves structure deals with their rookie players with lower pay but longer terms. Other teams offer more money but on much shorter terms. If you were a major leaguer would you want the security or gamble? Here's what Marc and Diesel would do.
A 4 point plan for Shane Beamer to eclipse Dabo Swinney...
- Three straight top 10 classes
- Beat Dabo in the transfer portal
- Win the Carolinas
- Click play to find out
With the 7th pick in the Offsides 2023 NFL media mock draft, Adam Hill - on behalf of the Las Vegas Raiders - selects Devon Witherspoon, CB Illinois. Adam explains why:
Can Iowa beat South Carolina? We go right to the point with Jeff Linder of the Cedar Rapids Gazette and what makes Caitlin Clark so watchable?
Who are the top 10 programs in college football today? Friend of the show Josh Pate made his list, placing Clemson 5th behind Georgia and Michigan. Marc calls BS and re-orders his top 10 naming Clemson the 3rd best program in college football today.
The upstate needs to change - to improve. Marc and Diesel have noticed the territoriality from town to town and the old guard vs the new guard mentality among the Upstate's citizens. We think that needs to change.
With the #6 pick in the Offsides 2023 NFL media mock draft, Jim Costa - on behalf of the Detroit Lions - selects Tyree Wilson, DT Texas Tech. Why?
The women's game should lower the rim to 9 ft to bring a new level of excitement to the sport. It's not sexist to say that on average female basketball players are 11" shorter than male players - so why are they playing on the same height rim?
With the #5 pick in the Offsides 2023 NFL mock draft, Owen Murphy - on behalf of the Seattle Seahawks - selects Jalen Carter, DT Georgia. Why?
Clemson fans won't say this out loud but privately they want Dabo to end the nepotism - the internal hires - the elevating of ex players through the ranks. Why? Because it doesn't work.
With the #4 pick in the Offsides 2023 NFL mock draft, Kevin Hickey - on behalf of the Indianapolis Colts - selects Anthony Richardson, QB Florida. Why?
Is it possible for Furman to achieve what other mid-majors like Wichita State, Gonzaga, and others have achieved? Absolutely...but what steps does the university have to take to get there?
With the #3 pick in the Offsides 2023 NFL media mock draft, Bo Brack on behalf of the Arizona Cardinals selects Will Anderson, LB Alabama. Here's why:
South Carolina still has a massive challenge to overcome...draft-able players -- a stat at which, despite their decline, Clemson still has the Gamecocks beat.
It turns out the new Greenville Triumph and Liberty stadium proposal in Mauldin isn't dead but upstate residents seem vehemently opposed to it - why? We're beside ourselves trying to understand why Upstaters are being so obtuse.
With the #2 pick in the Offsides 2023 NFL media mock draft, Paul Gallant on behalf of the Houston Texans selects CJ Stroud, QB Ohio State. Here's why:
The Carolina Panthers sent a huge personnel contingent to CJ Stroud’s pro day. A source tells Offsides CJ Stroud “wowed” the Panthers brass.
Japan is flat better than us at baseball. Two things are true: Japan plays a better brand of team baseball and analytics has ruined American baseball.
Shane Beamer was asked on a podcast which SEC coaches he would fight. Marc and Diesel go down the list and guess which coaches he would beat and which coaches would put beat him.
With the #1 pick in the Offsides 2023 NFL mock draft, Sheena Quick on behalf of the Carolina Panthers selects Bryce Young, QB Alabama. Here's why:

Clemson softball is the hottest ticket on campus with packed games week after week but for baseball Doug Kingsmore stadium sits empty. What's the deal Clemson fans? Shouldn't the years of success buy you a more loyal fan base?

Also, the guys discuss the fantasy fallout of Jonnu Smith being traded to the Falcons as well as the Bears trading away the #1 overall pick and acquiring DJ Moore in the process.

South Carolina has absolutely bent Clemson over a barrel the last 100 days. In the last 3 1/2 months South Carolina has knocked Clemson out of the college football playoff and the NCAA tournament...something we're pretty sure has never happened before. Brutal time to be a Tiger fan.
Make no mistake about it...If Clemson wants to make the NCAA tournament tonight is absolutely must-win. Clemson's resume includes more bad losses than good wins. They are firmly on the bubble.
Fascinating! Furman head coach Bob Richey - who led his team to its first NCAA tournament berth in 43 years - walks us step by step through NCAAT scouting process.
Clemson fans can't figure out why their 22-win season is consistently landing them on the bubble. Well, it's simple and The Athletic's analytics guru Austin Mock explains why.
What becomes of South Carolina men's basketball after GG Jackson? His having been there should make it easier to attract 5-stars - but that shouldn't be the path for Gamecock basketball. Here's why.
Furman is going dancing - but does Furman's leading scorer - senior guard Mike Bothwell have moves? -AND- What might he nab from a game in the coming weeks to remember the experience by?
The "little 'ol Clemson" mantra that helps Clemson football is burying Clemson basketball. Athletics director Graham Neff has a big decision -- move on from Brad Brownell regardless of the season's outcome or wait and see. Both Marc and Diesel know what we would do in Graham's shoes.
Gamecock fans are bent that Spencer Rattler is not appearing on pre-season top 10 lists. Chris Phillips of The Spurs Up Show believes he knows why Rattler isn't getting the love.

South Carolina posted a graphic claiming to own the state -- is it warranted or are they guilty of premature smackulation? Can you win the state in 100 days (Nov 29th - now)? We think not. Attendance at the neutral site baseball game at Fluor Field would suggest the Gamecocks still have work to do.
Basketball in the state of South Carolina has historically been bad...but why? With basketball in North Carolina being elite now for decades why are we not getting it done?
*Not you Furman, you're good.

College athletes will be paid employees soon says one of the most plugged in people in college sports. A model Offsides says only benefits a select group of athletes (football players) at select schools and will hurt almost every other student athlete.

Who scored and who got stuffed at the line? Marc grades the five NFL off season coaching hires including new Panthers head coach Frank Reich.
It's a total failure of the University of Alabama president, athletic director, coach, and players that Brandon Miller is still on the court. Until all of the facts are known he shouldn't be playing.

LIV golf CEO Greg Norman took a shot at Rory McIlroy and possibly even made a thinly veiled threat in the PGA star's direction.
Clemson coach Erik Bakich responds to "mouthy" UCF Knights players running down hill in death valley after the Knights swept the Tigers on the baseball field.
Baseball's old fans really don't like the changes Major League Baseball is implementing, especially the rules than speed up the game. We say "let 'em complain...they'll be back".
After sweeping the Clemson (baseball) Tigers the UCF Knights baseball team "broke in" to Death Valley (which wasn't locked) and ran down the hill. Find it disrespectful? Don't get swept and it won't happen.
A report suggests that while in Seattle Russell Wilson went to ownership and wanted head coach Pete Carroll fired in favor of this coach. Russ denies the report. Who's telling the truth?
Florida State in a board of trustees meeting suggested it is trying to figure out its exit from the ACC.

Offsides asked Furman men's basketball coach Bob Richey about scheme and philosophy and who influenced elements of his offense and we got absolutely schooled on a level like never before.
Aaron Rodgers has emerged from his 4 day darkness retreat in a "hobbit hole-like" bunker in the Oregon forest and we have burning questions...

Former Florida QB Anthony Richardson is creeping up mock draft boards -- Marc says draft him at your own risk calling Richardson the "anti Tim Tebow"
It's time to shift from halves to quarters. Here are the changes NBA coaches want to see made at the NCAA level yesterday
Will Clemson eventually end up in the SEC? Signs point to yes. When could it happen and would South Carolina fans actually want to share a conference with them?
It's a question as old as this segment of the show...If a player didn't play in the Super Bowl can they legitimately call themselves a Super Bowl champion?
College football looks to implement four new rules. One we like, two we're neutral about, and one we both absolutely HATE.
Mac McClung is a great athlete but let's be real...his winning the dunk contest is so impressive for a reason everybody knows but nobody is willing to discuss.
The SEC's newest members Texas and Oklahoma aren't even in the league yet but they're already making demands. Here's what they want...
West Virginia's Erik Stevenson says "We go into the ACC and win the league by 5 games. There’s nobody even in that league that could play in our league." We're used to hearing fans have these types of takes but never active players. Onsides or Offsides?
Fans want playoff expansion.
TV executives want playoff expan$$$ion.
Dabo reveals what he and his players want.
Clemson Tigers basketball started the season in historic fashion and stumbled down the stretch. Offsides tabled our opinion that Brad Brownell's tenure had come to an end but the last month shows he's just not that guy.

On 3 Sports predicts South Carolina will finish in the top 5 of the SEC. What has to happen if the Gamecocks are going to make the SEC championship game in 2023?
If he joins an NFC South team Derek Carr will instantly be the best quarterback in the division. This stat shows why Panthers absolutely cannot let the Saints, Falcons, or Buccaneers get him.
On 3 Sports predicts the Gamecocks will finish 5th in the SEC in 2023. Our opinion, 2nd in the SEC east is within South Carolina’s grasp. What sort of continuity does Tennessee have to stay in front of you?
In a wide open NFC South just how many wins would Derek Carr earn the Carolina Panthers? Hint: It's double digits. He also allows you to beef up other key positions instead of taking a flyer on a rookie QB.
The proposed 3-6-6 scheduling model in the SEC will present a massive hurdle for the South Carolina Gamecocks but could it help them crack the code and get into an expanded playoff?
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin doesn't rule out playing again. If you were advising Damar would you say "play" or "stay"? Hear Damar's own words and Offsides' hesitant reaction.
Clemson led the ACC much of the season, Charleston co-leads the Colonial, Furman are tied for 1st in the SoCon...which Palmetto school has the best odds to make the NCAA-Tournament?
Florida State is getting hot. Could they overtake Clemson for ACC supremacy any time soon and could they actually lead Dabo Swinney to the (transfer portal) light? Heisman voter Brent Beaird says FSU is for real.
Signs point to a 3-6-6 scheduling model coming to the SEC. Who could South Carolina's permanent opponents be? Here are the best and worse case scenarios.
Why don't we care about college basketball as much as we used to? Is it us individually or is the sport's changing landscape to blame?
Which franchise will be next to win their first Super Bowl? These teams are ready, these teams are not. Each team that's never won one rated on a readiness scale.
Are these the top 3 most "cancellable" sports figures? Marc and Diesel hold nothing back, but somehow miss one of the most despised figures in sports.
The Lady Gamecocks dominated LSU 88-64, Football is skyrocketing under Shane Beamer, two baseball national championships in the last 10 years...are we living in the golden era of Gamecock athletics?
Patrick Mahomes is earning his way into the conversation about the all-time greats but head coach Andy Reid isn't getting the credit he deserves
Shane Beamer is the hot new crypto currency - skyrocketing but in a crowded market the potential to crash is there. Dabo Swinney is a blue chip stock that stays consistent - never too up never too down. Both can make you money but which would YOU invest in?
By the letter of the law, yes, technically James Bradberry held Juju Smith-Schuster but the rule has become so convoluted we don't know what is or isn't a hold. The refs have to swallow the whistle. We the fans were screwed.
How does the advanced timeline of Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC in 2024 affect Greg Sankey's divisionless vision, and how will this affect South Carolina's long time rivalries? Heisman voter Brent Beaird sees a long-predicted change coming.
There's a prevailing opinion that the AFC is far and away superior to the NFC...that's objectively false. If you subscribe to that narrative the truth contained here-in is going to set you free.
Patrick Mahomes has played in 2 Super Bowls and won 1. If the Chiefs lose Sunday he's at risk of becoming Payton Manning...a great regular season QB who can't win the biggest games.
How is this even possible? The number of South Carolina and Clemson alumni in the Super Bowl is mind boggling.
Round 1...FIGHT
Should players be contractually obligated to play in bowls? For Marc Ryan it's all about the team - for Jake Crain of The Real Daily Wire it's about the risk to the player. A contentious debate ensues.
Fair question or not, "how dare you put me in a position where I have to defend Roger Goodell" says Diesel. A reporter tried to trap the NFL commissioner with an uncomfortable question about the steps the NFL has taken to increase representation in its media department.
South Carolina cannot repeat the success they had in 2022 if these two glaring issues aren't fixed in 2023.
The GOAT debate is still subjective but haters can't keep him out of the conversation anymore. There's never been a player with his size, skill set and longevity and when he scores his final point the record is going to be virtually unbeatable.
Who has the most impressive list of Twitter followers - Marc or Diesel? We brush our shoulders off and brag about the biggest athletes, rock stars, and media members that follow us on twitter.
The biggest difference between Clemson 2022 and Clemson during their playoff runs is glaring and it's not a deficiency Clemson is used to having.
He's 9, picked up a golf club 3 years ago, and he's already playing in tournaments around the world and beating Charlie Woods. Xander "The Captain" Wilson and his dad Clemson Tom join Offsides to talk about how Xander discovered his love of golf.
College players are opting out at an all time high. Tom Luginbill, ESPN national recruiting analyst believes scholarship terms should be re-written to make bowl games a mandatory extension of the season.
South Carolina can surpass Clemson as a program by doing this. ESPN national recruiting expert and game day sideline reporter Tom Luginbill offers his advice on how to overtake the Tigers.
How did Shane Beamer land Mazeo Bennett? The Upstate's #1 wide receiver joined Offsides this afternoon and shared Beamer's secret sauce.
Women's basketball collectively (WNBA and NCAAW) has a bigger platform and more coverage than ever before but is it connecting? Is the sport growing at a rate proportionate to its platform? Marc and Diesel offer their thoughts.
Clemson fans: you have a chance to change your behavior before it’s too late. If the tone continues to be “10-2 and a NY6 game is a failure” Dabo will leave.
The length of time Spencer Rattler took to make his decision tells you he wanted to go to the NFL, but the pro demand for him isn't there yet.
Diesel met a competitive dance coach and it sparked the debate "what is a sport" vs "what isn't a sport". He defines the difference by whether or not there's defense. If there's defense it's a sport - if not it's an athletic performance. Do you agree?
Will South Carolina's momentum carry them past Clemson anytime soon? It's possible...but don't mistake Clemson's 10 win season for a downward trend.

In a move purely to save face ACC commissioner Jim Phillips wants his teams to pack up their balls and go home. In a directive from the league office ACC schools are being told to stop scheduling road games at Group of 5 home stadiums. In 2022 ACC schools played 10 such games and lost 3 of them.
Gamecock nation…you’re making it impossible for Clemson to ignore you. Who on Clemson's defense - on Florida's defense - that can defend Nyckoles Harbor's size and speed?

Chris Phillips has a __/10 confidence level that 5-star Nykoles Harbor will be a Gamecock and answers to what he attributes Shane Beamer's meteoric improvement in recruiting over his three classes.
Nick Saban allegedly shut down two players' NIL requests. One wanted $800k to attend Alabama another wanted acceptance for his girlfriend into Alabama's law school plus her tuition...and he shut both down...told them to go pound sand. Good!
NFL fans are livid. Marc says the because a Super Bowl berth is on the line referees absolutely cannot call that Joseph Ossai late hit on Patrick Mahomes. Diesel says you can't ask officials to ignore the rules just because a lot is on the line.
As big a "get" as Nyckoles Harbor would be for South Carolina - who's still considering multiple options - there's another commit the Gamecocks just picked up who could make waves too. The latest from Brent Beaird of First Coast News
Predicting the 8 division winners for next season is actually pretty easy...With nearly 80% certainty here's who will hoist each division trophy in 2023.
Mid major programs are winning with a team first mentality. Head coach of the top 100 Furman Paladins Bob Richey predicts a market correction in the me first mine field that has permeated college athletics.
There's a key area in which Shane Beamer is outclassing Dabo Swinney and this wasn't the case just a few seasons ago.
Nobody except the Harbor family knows but given context clues here's Offsides' best guess on which school Gamecock target Nyckoles Harbor will ultimately choose
Frank Reich is a "B" hire...and that's ok. Carolina was not going to land an A candidate. Reich is the best the Panthers could've done given the circumstances.
Hiring Steve Wilks would've been a decision made by the heart. Hiring Frank Reich is a decision made with the head. Panthers Culture podcast host JJ Hardy explains why Reich ultimately won the job over the interim Steve Wilks.
Marc Ryan and Diesel's way too early 2023 South Carolina game-by-game predictions: One of us has a surprising loss, one has a surprising win.
NIL has produced yet another an unintended consequence. It's keeping players in college longer. 2022 saw a huge decline in early entrants into the NFL draft.
Is South Carolina the team to beat for Nyckoles Harbor? 247 Sports national analyst Brian Dohn spoke to Nyckoles' coach yesterday and has the very latest on where things stand with Nyckoles Harbor.
Marc back tracks! "It's obvious Clemson men’s basketball has the potential to be special this year" and Marc is ok with tabling the discussion on Brad Brownell’s employment status.
The Fan Upstate started a fire a week ago; but disagreement is an inevitability when you're in the public sphere. Chris Phillips of the Spurs Up Show speaks sage advice for anyone making a name for themselves on social media: “You don’t change up who you are, what you do, your morals, your values” when people disagree.
A week ago Shane Beamer fired from the hip and flamed The Fan Upstate implying that Marc lied. He or USC could have reached out in a professional way to find out at whom he should have loosed his arrows...but he didn't. All of the information we shared is sourced and accurate. Shane on him. Grow up Shane.
Carolina Panthers fans who want Sean Payton...keep dreaming. He's just too expensive. Karlos says to get Payton the Panthers would have to give up too much capital and control and it's just not worth it.
"I have no problem with Shane Beamer defending his program...that's his job. Marc did his job, I did my job, and Shane Beamer did his job." Offsides is more than a name, it's a culture; of the hosts and the audience who crave the inside scoop and who appreciate sports content that isn't meticulously worded so as to not offend anyone.

Shane Beamer and South Carolina really wanted Garrett Riley - Clemson got him. What does that say about the "tier status" of both of these two programs?
After hiring new OC Garrett Riley at Clemson the gap that South Carolina had closed between themselves and Clemson just widened a little bit.
Reports are Garrett Riley, most recently at TCU, will be Clemson's next offensive coordinator. Garrett's offense ranked 27th overall in total offensive production in 2022 - 31st in rushing and 39th in passing. Clemson fans have to be ecstatic about this news.
You know him from season 3 of Netflix's "Last Chance U", football coach Jason Brown doesn't have time for the keyboard cowards who coddle today's athletes and calls out the coaches at every level who are so scared to lose kids to transfers that they refuse to coach them.
NIL and the transfer portal haven't eliminated cheating in college football, they've amplified it. The NCAA knows it but can't do anything about it. Former Gamecock edge rusher Jordan Burch announced he's transferring to Oregon, something we've all known was coming for weeks.
"Steve Wilks is 8th on my list of candidates" - Marc Ryan ranks the two A+ "home run" candidates down to the candidates he absolutely doesn't want to see put on the headset in Charlotte.

Marc saw a vehicle in Greenville donning both South Carolina and Clemson stickers. This should be illegal! Change our mind.
The South Carolina board of trustees is set to vote on a $4 million raise for head coach Shane Beamer, but does he deserve it? Heisman voter and First Coast News host Brent Beaird says...
Spencer Rattler...stop holding the Gamecock fan base hostage. Announce that you’re coming back to Columbia.
Marc Ryan explains why Clemson missing the tournament this season is actually best for the program.
Jordan Burch is now the 4th player since the Gator Bowl to leave the Gamecock football program and fans have a right to be pissed. Leaving now drives home a harsh reality that to 4 and 5 star players it's just about the money.
Lifelong friend of Jim Harbaugh, author John U. Bacon ranked the Carolina Panthers #1 of 3 most likely franchises who have made legitimate inquiries into hiring the Michigan coach to land his services.
Will Spencer Rattler return to Columbia in 2023? His draft grade leads Chris Phillips of the Spurs Up Show to change his opinion on what Spencer is likely to do.
In 2022 Clemson went 0-3 against Power 5 teams outside the ACC. The program is falling behind in the current era and it's because Dabo refuses to do what it takes to win. He'd rather hire cronies and eschew NIL and the transfer portal.
The NFL is scrambling to figure out how - or if - to reschedule Bills v Bengals. All options are on the table including cancellation, postponement, and delaying the post season by a week. Nate Geary of Audacy Buffalo with the latest.

Winning now feels great but every Carolina Panthers win is pushing them farther away from their goal, a top 5 draft pick and the quarterback of the future.

Clemson went from having a top 10 quarterback to a signal caller that never ranked higher than the 48th best in the country and we fear if DJ Uiagalelei doesn't transfer Dabo Swinney will make the mistake of starting him again out of misguided loyalty.
A caller, "Crazy Ralph", has called South Carolina coach Shane Beamer a "friggin' moron", wanted him fired, and believed Spencer was going to "ruin the whole season"...but given recent events is he willing to apologize for being so very very wrong? Listen.
Declare, transfer, or stay put...that is the question.
Our advice to Palmetto Bowl winning QB Spencer Rattler is test your draft stock but ultimately come back to South Carolina for 1 more season, ball out, and improve your draft stock. For DJ, we believe your time at Clemson is done, seek a new home in the portal.

Marc and Diesel reveal their new 'Carolinas Top 10' poll...Marc launched South Carolina all the way up to the #2 spot after their Tennessee win - Diesel graded them much harsher at #5. Both have Clemson back on top. Who's poll is more accurate?
"Monday we're going to have to talk Gamecock fans off the ledge" - Marc Ryan
"There will be a red glow on the southeastern horizon because Columbia will be on fire" - Diesel
"Tennessee is going to kick the **** out of South Carolina" - Chris Phillips
We were ALL wrong!

One data point to rule them all! Lawton Swann of Clemson Sports Talk provides one key data point that Clemson will have in their favor that can get the #9 Tigers back into the final 4.
"I'm confident South Carolina will cover against Tennessee". Marc doesn't see South Carolina winning but Tennessee's defense is vulnerable.
Marc broke a story today from a ball room event that featured SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. In his speech he said the SEC is leaning in the direction of adopting a divisionless scheduling model. Tweets went viral, sharply worded e-mails were sent, and fires were started.
Remember Shane Beamer's "find some joy" comment? He's responded to that and it proves Shane Beamer spends entirely too much energy paying attention to social media and the mob.
South Carolina and Tennessee had virtually identical records and average recruiting rankings in their 5 seasons prior to hiring Shane Beamer and Josh Heupel respectively. So why are the Volunteers outpacing the Gamecocks in year 2 of their coaches?
Is it all quarterback or is it more systemic?
Before the season started Clemson fans voted that the standard for this season was "playoff or bust" but calls, texts, and 65% of fans in a new Twitter poll says just winning the ACC is enough. What gives? Stop moving the goal post. Stop lowering your standards.

Both Marc and Diesel have South Carolina 8th and Clemson 2nd in our "Carolinas FBS Top 10". Listen for our top 10 and tell us who's being under valued and over valued.
"The bottom 10% of Gamecock fans are the worst I've ever encountered." Marc rips into the lowest common denominator South Carolina fans who attacked his wife over the weekend.
Three teams - 2019 Oklahoma, 2015 Oklahoma, and 2015 Michigan State have made the college football playoff when ranked 10th or worse with three weeks left in the season - so what is the likelihood that Clemson can be 4th to achieve this? Brent Beaird answers.
Greenville's Tyler Brown and Byrnes' Kyai Cook both pick up impressive offers. Rob Jones of the Saturday Morning Scramble joins Offsides with an Upstate recruiting update.

Marc Discussis with the Head coach of Furman Football team about the upcoming coming game and Socon Football.
Marc Ryan Talks To Lawson Swann about the Clemson lost a long with what could be fixed before the next game. Also, is their still a chance to may the college football playoffs.
South Carolina (6-3) vs Florida (5-4)...who needs it more? The Offsiders voted 8 wins was the minimum to consider this a successful season. The Florida faithful are still wary of a new hire.
Hate to break it to you Clemson fans...you're not going to make the 4 team playoff this year and even if there was a 12 team playoff you'd get run. Here's how we'd see a 2022 12-team playoff going.
It comes as a surprise to nobody that Clemson's offense stinks. Their play caller is either out of his depth or doesn't trust his players to execute. Either way it's time to move on and Diesel knows exactly who he'd hire to run the offense in 2023...and he's a familiar face in the Upstate.
Can Clemson get back into the playoff hunt? "No". Analyst Kelley Ford says numbers just aren't there. Clemson's loss to Notre Dame knocked them out of playoff contention and there isn't a path that gets them back in.
South Carolina didn't look great Saturday but beat Vanderbilt without their best player. That's worth celebrating. You're also the 54th best team in the country according to FPI. There have been setbacks but considerable progress this season as well.
Dabo's culture has always centered around family but being so "addicted" to that culture that you refuse to look outside the program for high level coordinators and starting a feel good story player is hurting the Tigers.
Boomer Esiason and Mike Valenti discuss all thing NFL for week 9 including The sale of the Commanders. Tom Brady's off the field problems. What QB's are under pressure. Geno seems like a good fit in Seattle. Picks against the line and Boomer's final word.

The Irish are the toughest opponent left on Clemson's regular season schedule but the Irish have had massive performance swings...what happens if Clemson gets the "good" Notre Dame? Lawton Swann provides his thoughts.
In an era of collectives being the difference between a top prospect choosing to sign at your school do every day fans now bear a financial responsibility for their team's success?
The last two times Clemson has appeared in the college football playoff they've lost to a combined score of 53-91. If Clemson makes the playoff and gets smacked a third time in a row they will lose the benefit of the doubt with CFP committee members.
Both Marc and Diesel believe #3 Georgia will beat #1 Tennessee Saturday night but how confident are we they'll pull the upset?
Marc and 'Late Kick' host Josh Pate discuss fall weddings, Auburn's firing of Bryan Harsin (was it justified?), and which school was the most misplaced in the first CFP ranking?
Halfway through his 2nd NFL season Trevor Lawrence isn't trending in the right direction and that's a serious reason for concern. If an NFL quarterback is going to be good we usually see it in year 2 and know by year 3.
Auburn fired head coach Bryan Harsin after just 1 1/2 seasons. Marc believes Bryan Harsin to be a "heck of a coach" who got hired into a bad situation - when Jake Crain heard this he nearly lost his gourd. Who's right?
Gamecock fans have gone through denial, anger, and now find themselves in the bargaining stage of grief. The offense isn't getting it done and the fan base is divided on whether to give Marcus Satterfield more time or move on now. But delay too long and Shane Beamer will find the ire pointed at him.
You hear it in 90% of press conferences...head coaches expressing some variation of "it's all on me". So when your game plan stinks, your "all everything" tight end doesn't get the ball, your line can't give your QB time, and your offensive coordinator looks lost (again)...you either have a hard time identifying issues or you're unwilling to do something about it.
Tennessee at this point is a virtual lock for the college football playoff. Karlos has them in no matter what, which is bad for Clemson - Diesel believes there is a way the Volunteers get snubbed.
Boomer Esiason and Mike Valenti go around the NFL for week 8. What was Russell Wilson doing on the plane to London? Coaching malpractices. Boomer's hair care regiment. How do the Packers fix themselves? Of course picks againts the spread going into week 8.

Good branding is instantly recognizable and clearly differentiates one product from another. South Carolina's new "USC 1801" logo accomplishes neither of those things.
You're at a game and a brawl breaks out right in front of you. Do you back away? Do you step in to break it up? Do join in to defend your fellow fan? Diesel says he's not catching hands or a charge for anyone, period.
Where will Spencer Rattler and DJ Uiagalelei be next season?
Our prediction: They won't both be in the uniforms they're wearing right now! Which one stays put and which one moves on?
South Carolina has elevated to a program that can now take advantage of their opponents weaknesses and win something we couldn't always say in years past. Circumstances don't matter, you got the win and are now in a position to make major waves the rest of the season.
To our astonishment a shot inside the Cockaboose Saturday revealed Gamecock fans were watching Syracuse v Clemson. Tiger fans do the same thing. It's obvious you are all obsessed. If this rivalry was a romantic comedy the two teams would hate each other at the beginning and be married by the end.
Believe it or not Clemson has the best odds of any team in America to make the playoff. How is this possible? Of the teams still in contention to make the college football playoff what are the odds they actually get in?
Haters are using Clemson's ugly win vs Syracuse as reason they won't make the playoff...but the truth is almost every team who makes the playoff has ugly wins just like this one. Clemson is better than we all thought because they won in spite of four turn overs and a terrible game from DJ Uiagalelei.
Boomer Esiason and Mike Valenti talk all things NFL for week 7. Christian McCaffrey trade. Tom Brady's frustration in Tampa. Are the Jets and Giants playoff teams? Picks against the spread. Coaching malpractice and what teams are destined for playoffs and what teams are falling off the cliff.

Beat Texas A&M and South Carolina will enter the top 25. Beat the teams you're supposed to beat and even with losses to Tennessee and Clemson the Gamecocks will finish in the top 25 in Shane Beamer's second season.
It's unfortunate that the best players end up on the worst teams and waste the best years of their careers playing on dud football teams. You can be sad to see him go but Diesel is happy for Christian McCaffrey following the trade news that will send him to San Francisco.
Another win - another week of being disrespected and landing just outside the FCS top 25. Furman football coach Clay Hendrix is a coaches poll voter himself and says there's a measure of voters "protecting" their own conferences through their ballots.
Clemson/Wake and Tennessee/Alabama played to similar scores. One is considered a mediocre game and the other a GOAT level game! Lawton Swann of Clemson Sports Talk says it's time to eschew the current way and adopt a balanced NFL scheduling model.
Texas A&M is more talented, but a rested South Carolina team at home at night is capable of beating teams more talented than them. The Gamecocks will win Saturday night and continue to stoke the fires nipping at Jimbo Fisher's heels.
Our high school athlete of the week is Christ Church running back DaShun Reeder who had a MASSIVE 4 touchdown 147 yard game on just 7 carries. We talk about that performance and get a surprising answer where he'd most like to attend college.
Notre Dame has the best chance of the remaining teams on Clemson's schedule to upset the Tigers. If any of the 10 remaining teams who have a chance to make the playoff will lose, when will it happen?
The debate was explosive!
Marc went head to head with Gamecock commenter Tim Frisby over his assertion that a 13-0 Clemson gets left out of the college football playoff. It's theoretically possible, but would require a GARGANTUAN number of dominoes to fall in line.
Of the only 10 teams that still have a chance to make the college football playoff Clemson has the best odds. Marc ranks 10 to 1 and the odds they can still get in.
Tennessee deserves the credit for a big win vs Alabama, but the Vols defense absolutely has to get better or there's no chance for them against Georgia or in the playoff.
You're winning...never lose your gratitude for that Clemson fans! Winning at this level is hard but many Clemson fans on social media are upset about the way the Tigers let their foot off the gas in the second half vs Florida State and it's disappointing to watch.
Boomer and Mike discuss all things NFL as we get into the dog days of the fall and teams start to find out who they are. What coaches are on the hot seat. Picks against the spread for week 6. Best of the best and coaching blunders from week 5.

If I'm the Panthers GM making personnel decisions I'm moving on from 26 year old Christian McCaffrey. But what about DJ Moore and Laviska Shenault?
What would you do - circle the wagons or clean house and stock draft picks?
College football fans tune out when their team is no longer in the playoff hunt - we know this. He's been dragged to this conclusion kicking and screaming but Marc finally admits the playoff has to expand...and three more changes we'd make to college football immediately.
Dorman holds on to the #1 spot in Greenville News' Joe Dandron's "Upstate Top 5" but have a contender nipping at their heels. Listen to find out who the #2 team in the upstate is.
What did we learn about Clemson in their 31-3 win over Boston College? We learned that when the fans treat a game against a weak opponent like a bye week the Tigers play like it, in a game that was 10-3 at half time.
Matt Rhule's replacement absolutely has to be one of these three coaches! And a bonus 3 coaches who absolutely cannot get the job.
Boomer and Mike have you covered going into week 5 of the NFL. What are the teams identity's after 4 weeks? What coaches are on the hot seat? What coaches are doing the most with the least and of course their picks against the spread.

With Kentucky's Will Levis and Texas A&M's Max Johnson reportedly out with injuries the pressure is firmly on Shane Beamer to get wins against Kentucky and Texas A&M.
Power 5 offers are flying and one shocking flip! Here's the latest on the recruitment of Spartanburg's Raheim Jeter, Greenville's MJ Bennett, and Daniel's Misun Kelley.
Do those who called for DJ Uiagalelei to get benched owe him an apology? "...he's well compensated to take the heat but we still have to recognize these are college kids" - Lawton Swann
As this year's red bandana game Boston College will be playing with an emotional wind in their sails against Clemson Saturday. BC Eagles Insider editor AJ Black on what Jeff Hafley's Eagles need to do offensively and defensively to pull the 20.5 point upset.
Two Thursday Gamecock takes: With Kentucky starting QB Will Levis potentially out for Saturday's game South Carolina can absolutely beat Kentucky - and - the 2022 Gamecocks can absolutely finish in the top 25.
He had one of the most uniquely dominant performances we've seen this season. Seneca running back Cade Eavenson ran for 2 touchdowns and 190 yards on 28 carries PLUS a trick play touchdown pass in a 38-17 win over Crescent. He joined us to highlight his huge game.
When you cheat, your records are invalidated, period! Marc "invalidates" Barry Bonds' 2001 73 home run record and hails the new "authentic" home run king, Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge.
With Dak expected to return in just 12 days, the Cowboys should ride with the hot hand and give Rush a chance to hold the starting position as long as he can. Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy aren't painted into the corner most believe they are.
South Carolina blitzes more than any other team in the country but ranks 126th in sacks nor do they seem adept at using their skill set to forge an offensive or defensive identity. Is there any way the Gamecocks stay competitive with Kentucky Saturday? - with Tim Frisby
They play 162 games and were resolving the wild card series in a single elimination play-in, which is absolutely stupid! It's about time MLB has gotten it right with a good post season format that honors the regular season.
Shane Beamer is undoubtedly changing the culture in Columbia, but to be great he has to be willing to do this...
The Spartanburg Vikings moved up to #2 in The Greenville News' Joe Dandron's Upstate high school top 10 after a home win vs Byrnes. Just how much did playing one of the toughest early schedules in the country prepare the Vikings to go on a title run?
Are we seeing a formula of "time + development + patience = dominance" with Clemson QB DJ Uiagalelei? Following a tough 2021 season the story of DJ Uiagalelei's 2022 season closely parallels a certain top 3 NFL quarterback who struggled early and is now leading his team to greatness.
21 teams including Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, and Coastal Carolina remain unbeaten. We try to predict when each one will suffer their first loss.
Boomer Esiason and Mike Valenti discuss all things NFL as we approach week 4. What teams are you high on? What teams are you low on? Tua Tagovailoa's injury. Saquan Barkley's future. The picks for week 4. Is Dan Campbell lost when it comes to game management?

How much does the national media value NC State? The polls have them as a top 10 team but depending on the outcome, how much credit will be given to the winner in this game?
It's obvious that the NFL's concussion protocols need to be changed, but when every medical examination said Tua Tagovaiola was cleared to play, what CAN the NFL do? Marc wants more stringent and cautious protocols - Diesel says "trust the doctors".
With heavy rain and wind expected Saturday, will potentially sloppy field conditions benefit the Tigers or the Wolfpack? Lawton Swann of Clemson Sports talk answers.
"Shane Beamer will be at home Saturday drinking a beer while his players rest up for Kentucky". Moving SC State to tonight gives the Gamecocks a big advantage over Kentucky in a week.
He knows the city, played professionally in the city, and is the only one with enough pop to make them relevant. Georgia Tech, we're begging you...go get Prime Time Deion Sanders.
"I’ve had this game circled as the one where we get the best NC State we’ve seen all year". Josh Pate calls the upset.
He put up 266 yards of offense - 200 on the ground and another 66 receiving en route to Dorman handing River Bluff their first loss of the season, a 39-23 affair. We spend 5 minutes with Dorman Cavaliers RB DJ Porter on his huge game and what drew him to commit to Appalachian State.
Every few months there's a new "GOAT" and the newest "GOAT" is Chargers QB Justin Herbert. He hasn't won anything but "he's got great measurables". We have got to stop prematurely crowning people before they've got the hardware.
The debate renews every season. Marc has Clemson taking just two losses if they played South Carolina's schedule. He also has the Gamecocks losing five on Clemson's slate. Is he wrong?
Gamecock fans are crowing about South Carolina's big game on the ground vs Charlotte but Tim Frisby reminds you it was against Charlotte and urges fans to temper that until they perform that way against SEC competition.
After their unexpected loss this weekend at West Florence where does Byrnes sit in Greenville News' Joe Dandron's new Upstate top 10? Joe says this week's opponent Spartanburg will reveal exactly who the 2022 Rebels are.
Baker Mayfield isn't completing a lot of passes or throwing a lot of touchdowns, but he's not turning the ball over. It's obvious Baker doesn't have a complete grasp of this offense yet, but is he "ok" enough to see an improvement over 2021?
Fan boys are lining up for their apologies from DJ doubters...well, keep waiting. DJ played a good game vs Wake Forest, enjoy it and save the "I told you so's" until the end of the season.
Boomer & Mike talk about the exciting games that occurred in Week 2 of the NFL Season. They also pick each game against the spread and talk about what teams are facing some early adversity in the season.

When will South Carolina football stop being a punch line? We should know by the end of 2023 if Shane Beamer is the guy in Columbia but will fans and big money boosters give him that much time?
Are Clemson fans nervous about Saturday's game at #21 Wake Forest and are fans who are used to the Tigers winning big ok with their team eeking out narrow wins? We get the opinion of Clemson Sports Talk host Lawton Swann
A 20 year old caught Aaron Judge's 60th home run that tied Babe Ruth. He gave it back to Aaron. With an estimated value of $300,000 would you have kept it, sold it on the open market, or given it back?
There are more 5-star athletes than ever...and 60% of them are busts. How can this be? Quarterbacks like Spencer Rattler and DJ Uiagalelei are exposing a damning trend in the recruiting rating system.
We're looking at you Daniel QB Blaine Simmons who put up 5 total touchdowns - 3 through the air and 2 with his legs in a huge 42-14 win over Pickens.
A 1 and 2 start has Gamecock fans seriously questioning the offensive philosophy and the man leading it but Chris Phillips of the Spurs Up Show warns that Shane Beamer shouldn't take too long making that decision or the ire could to turn back on him.
Should the current crop of top "Group of 5" coaches (Jamey Chadwell - Coastal Carolina, Shawn Clark - App State, Troy Calhoun - Air Force) chase the big pay day or sit tight and enjoy the spoils of a good situation? Josh Pate has a surprising answer.
Phil Mickelson says LIV golf is here to stay. Well, we as fans and media members have the ability to shut it down by ignoring it.
The ACC is the worst it's been in a long time...which is great for a sputtering Clemson team that needs some serious help in key positions. Will Dabo Swinney come off his "anti-portal" stance to address the Tigers' issues before the program ceases to be playoff relevant?
An on-field logistical mistake collided with a fired-up head coach who wasn't aware of what was actually happening and it blew up into an internet battle-of-the-sexes for which Shane Beamer apologized for his part. But should he have? Tim Frsiby says he had nothing to apologize for.
She's a stand out on the South Carolina women's soccer team and was part of the bungled procession to put some 250 female athletes on the field in between the 1st and 2nd quarters. Jyllissa Harris joined us and handled the entire situation with grace and humility.
South Carolina just got sand blasted by #1 Georgia and looking ahead will likely be 3 and 2 after their first 5 games, but don't despair! It was always going to be this way.
ICMYI - Boomer & Valenti talk about the players and coaches under pressure after Week 1 of the NFL Season. They also pick each game against the spread & give their thoughts on Week 1 over-reactions.

South Carolina will host 5-star edge Nyckoles Harbor Saturday...on a day they very well could get blasted by #1 Georgia, but that's ok! No matter what happens in the game Shane Beamer and staff have a way to spin it as a selling point to the #9 athlete in the nation.
Dorman fans will be happy with this pick! Rob Jones picks the biggest week 4 match-ups including Hillcrest @ Powdersville, Gaffney @ Northwestern Rock Hill, and Dorman @ Clover plus an upstate recruiting kicker including a big new offer for Hillcrest's Avery McFadden.
The New York Post predicts Clemson's 34 game home winning streak ends not once but TWICE in 2022, but to who?
In maybe the most extreme jump in competition from week to week Furman plays North Greenville tonight and Clemson in week 2. Furman coach Clay Hendrix joins Offsides hours before their first game of the season.
Oklahoma and Utah will make the 2022 college football playoff! That's it. That's the prediction. And it's not based on wild homerism and here's why: Look at their schedules...who's going to beat them?
Dabo is using non-committal words like "hopefully" and "right now" about QB DJ Uiagalelei. Late Kick podcast host Josh Pate says we won't have to wait long.
Hillcrest Rams QB Bennett Judy torched Greer to the tune of 18 completions, 456 yards, and 6 touchdowns and that earns him our Week 1 Fan Upstate High School Athlete of the Week recognition. We talk about his monster game, his future aspirations, and the teammates that shared in his record performance.
The season hasn't even started yet but these coaches' doctors are already concerned about their blood pressure readings. Who is #1 on the pre-season hot seat list? Diesel's guess isn't even in the top 10.
He's the #10 national recruit according to 247 Sports Composite, the #1 athlete, and potentially a world class sprinter. He's warm on LSU, Michigan, Georgia, Maryland and South Carolina. What are the chances he picks the Gamecocks?
With the blue chip athletes still considering Clemson and South Carolina it's possible the Gamecocks could pass the Tigers with a higher ranked recruiting class in just Shane Beamer's second full season.
Like a marriage, you're either committed or not, and lately the words Clemson coaches Dabo Swinney and Brandon Streeter have used in reference to DJ Uiagalelei have not sounded very committed.
2-0 coming off a 54-7 win over a "really good" Chapman...is it safe to say Byrnes is back? Joe Dandron of 864 Huddle loves the Rebels' chance to win the region.
People, South Carolina is on fire after signing another 4-star, edge Desmond Umeozulu who pushes the Gamecocks to 15th for their 2023 class and it's a result of his energy and his message. It's time to admit it, South Carolina has found their Dabo Swinney.

Bragging about working players so hard they vomit "15-20 times per day"...not a great look. Scott Frost of Nebraska opened mouth and inserted foot.
He was the #1 overall recruit coming out of high school but Quinn Ewers is going to disappoint you. Texas just named Quinn as their week 1 starter but Carter says there's no way he's going to exceed the expectations set upon him.
Mark Stoops has been fighting "you're a basketball school" since day 1 but a few days later "get off your high horse" and move on says Aaron Torres of Fox Sports Radio in Los Angeles.
"'That' guy was not supposed to be 'this' guy". Patrick Creighton of ESPN 97.5 Houston passionately expresses his disbelief and feeling of betrayal that the guy everyone thought was great human being was capable of such shameless behavior.
11 game suspension and a $5 million fine: a compromise that leaves a large portion of NFL fans feeling he got off light but given the complexity of the legal and ethical ramifications of Deshaun's actions, the punishment is probably appropriate.
Pete Thamel reported college football's board of managers is exploring a governance structure outside of the NCAA. How are we supposed to feel about this? Excited or existentially terrified? "This is the way it should be" says The Voice of College Football.
He was more optimistic on South Carolina's season after drinking a few but after sobering up and seeing the Gamecocks' schedule YouTuber Tim "TalknSauced" Burrell is fading on them again.
Clemson has 6 top 100 players in the country on the defensive side of the ball but a year ago Clemson's offense was good enough for TWELFTH in the ACC. DJ doesn't have to be stellar to win a national championship but he can't "bust" another year.
To cupcake or not to cupcake? Florida opens against Utah. LSU plays Florida State - but Carter would rather his team play a soft week 1 opponent because of the terrible hole it puts you in if you lose week 1.
Many of the weapons Spencer Rattler will utilize in 2022 are just being inserted into the lineup - so will Spencer have to put this team on his back and carry them? - with Chris Gordy of the 'Locked on SEC' Podcast
Getting punched in the mouth and told he wasn’t good enough could be the best thing that ever happened to Spencer Rattler.
Brent Venables is taking heat at Oklahoma for carrying over a Clemson recruiting policy of no more visits after your verbal commitment. Lawton Swann of Clemson Sports Talk says Brent is trying to lock recruits on what being "committed" means.
Gamecocks tally two votes in the AP Top 25. Allen Kenney of Blatant Homerism sings Shane Beamer's praises but also laments the recruiting struggles South Carolina will "always" have.
Does the ACC have any depth behind Clemson? Not really! Blatant Homerism's Allen Kenney only has eyes for the Tigers. There is one other who could be good in 2022 but don't count on them to make major post-season waves.
16 playoff teams is a bad idea. Mack Brown lamented the breakneck pace at which college football is changing yet there are those who want the FBS post season to expand to 16. Carter and Diesel talk about why 8 or 12 are the perfect number.
