I am devastated to learn of the passing of my dear friend Tommy Moody. He was an amazing father, grandfather, friend and colleague. His love of Carolina was immense, but his love for his family was so much greater. We love you Tommy. Thank you for gracing our lives.
When a kid flips TO your school you praise him for a "grown up" decision. When a kid flips FROM your school you call him a coward. They're 18. Wish them well regardless of their decision, then go pull for your school again. It really is that simple.
It really is an embarrassing failure on the part of this award's staff that Kevin Harris of South Carolina is not on this list. They may say he wasn't on the original list and therefore is ineligible. Add him later, everyone will understand why you did it. Very unfortunate.
13 years and 1 day ago
@SunnyPhilips
was pregnant with our fourth daughter AND had cervical cancer. 13 years ago today she had a baby AND became cancer-free. July 31st is a pretty awesome day around here!
Been saying it this week and now it continues: there seem to be paid professionals on staff at South Carolina that used their BoT approved contracts to get better offers elsewhere, all while smiling and telling the new HC they were happy and engaged in SC football. Guess not.
I sincerely believe that the
#Gamecocks
have made a super hire with
@CoachSBeamer
. Everyone understands what's NOT on his resume, but it's what is, coupled with many positive intangibles, that should have fans excited. So many close to him have told me how much this means to him.
I couldn’t care less how ugly that was, the
#Gamecocks
earned that road win through grit and determination. Really important for their SEC chances. All wins are good wins. Big one for Carolina.
A lot of hate and ridicule in this thread. She didn't ask for this award. She didn't even seek a spot on the team. When called upon she did her job and made history in the process. Why not be supportive? Well done Sarah, a LOT of people are happy for you!
Wow, there are a lot of fans from other schools saying the
#Gamecocks
copied Florida with the script logo while believing it's brand new, which it was...in 1983. Just a little research goes a long way in life. You kids remember that.
Sadly a lot of Clemson fans have decided that the best way to take shots at Carolina is to disparage the accomplishments of women in sports and attempt to label them as inferior. The arrogance is almost laughable. It’s a choice to act this way.
Couch coaches don't know more about football than a highly paid SEC staff, but they know it's really bad when a team keeps losing games by big double digit margins. In SC's last 22 conf games, 10 are double digit losses. So are all 4 WM losses to Clemson. That's not an opinion.
Nick Muse on the criticism: "The Karens and the couch coaches, they know a lot more than our coaches, apparently. My dad has a saying -- he can say whatever he wants, but he’s just a fat dad in the stands."
To any and every
#Mizzou
fan saying
@dawnstaley
is “classless” I can only say you’re proving your ignorance. She exudes class and determination. Disagree with her take? Fine. Otherwise she is what’s RIGHT in the world today.
Another day, another round of adult college football fans tweeting insults at HS football players because they made a life decision that doesn't fit the adult fan's narrative. I'll be thankful for a day when that never happens again.
Some absolute daggers in the fourth quarter from the
#Gamecocks
. They absorbed the blows and earned this one. LSU set the tone but Carolina is the better team. Good game.
Y’all, I’m not going to call this a beat down, but I will say this was a dominant
#Gamecocks
win. They were in total control throughout. UK never really had a chance.
@CoachLParis
had his team completely prepared. This team is building something special. Wow. That was fun!
If you thought beating Florida two weeks ago was big, this is way bigger. Huge win for the
#Gamecocks
. Huge win for
@CoachSBeamer
. A bowl game this year is a big deal y’all. Enjoy it.

legend!
Mizzou AD hurls huge allegations against an opposing coach/school, basically pretends it didn't happen and doesn't matter, offers no explanation and quotes Forrest Gump. Wow.
Mizzou AD Jim Sterk on
@BernieShow
on South Carolina flap: "We moved on. We’ve got a great game against Mississippi State tonight. In the words of the famous philosopher Forrest Gump, ‘That’s all I’ve got to say about that.’"
Wow. Losing is one thing, but that was much worse than expected.
#Gamecocks
aren’t THAT bad, and Missouri isn’t that good. Drinkwitz has found a way to make SC look foolish every time he coaches against them. I’m baffled and impressed all at once.
I've waited to comment on the
#Gamecocks
/UF game and its myriad of issues; I wanted time to pass. Watched the replay, made some phone calls and still feel the officiating weighed much too heavily on the outcome. So did several missed passes. Anxious for an SEC response.
Seriously Florida State, WTF? You guys bitched and moaned, then basically gave up on the whole idea of proving any level of worth. You were 14 point underdogs immediately. It closed at 20. You’re even worse than that. Wow. Good luck with that lawsuit BTW.
I'll say a little more on the show today, but the adults/fans out there saying Jordan Burch is being disrespectful are wrong. He is a model kid, student and player. I'm not completely sure about WHY this situation is this way, but I don't think he's to blame.
For a guy my age Andy was as big a celebrity in Columbia as Joe Pinner or Bob Fulton. Special w/ double sauce and double roast beef on rye were staples of my diet for years. He made a real impact here. RIP indeed “my friend.” We’ll miss you.
Dang. Lived next door (Senate Plaza) my senior year 1991. Felt good when I went from “friend” to “chief”. An icon around Five Points and beyond. Never once ate there when he wasn’t at the cash register. RIP “my friend”
@AndysDeli_5pts
11 years ago today two fantastic things happened: my youngest child was born six weeks early, then roughly an hour later
@SunnyPhilips
became cancer-free. Today they’re both awesome, and I’m eternally grateful!
A special thank you to Liz McMillan, Tyson Lusk and the staff at Carolina baseball for the work they did yesterday at Tommy's memorial service. It was a wonderful way to pay tribute to him, and as good a "baseball day" as you'll ever see! Love you Tommy!
This is good advice. Losses are never fun, but for a program without much success over the years, this season was fun. Guys believe in what Coach Paris is doing and more talent is coming. Be disappointed in what happened yesterday and encouraged by the future. Both can be true.
I stand by what I said generally on HS recruits flipping schools late, but if it's true that UMD orchestrated a hoax with a player and his family I feel like some form of karma will catch up with Mike Locksley. Coaches don't forget the bad ethical stuff, even the transgressors.
Once again, I didn't talk "politics" on the show yesterday, nor did I portray any media bias. For about 5 minutes I supported a return of civility in our daily lives, along with a sincere hope that the America our children inherit will be better than it is today. All the best. 🇺🇸
Strong, gritty road win for the
#Gamecocks
. Nice effort on both ends to force OT, then patience and smarts to get it done. BJ had himself a day, and Carolina needed that.
12 years ago today: one baby born six weeks early (who spent nearly 2 mos in NICU) and one mom/wife (the amazing
@SunnyPhilips
) who became cancer-free. Both continue to be awesome! July 31 is always a big day for Team Philips!
Another good Signing Day show: a Clemson fan called me a sunshine pumper and a Carolina fan said I was too negative. I win! To all who listen and love me, like me, tolerate me and hate me I simply say thanks for listening and Merry Christmas! I couldn't do it without you! 😎🇺🇸🎄
Second half became about running the ball. Notre Dame could, Carolina couldn’t. Still a really fun game.
#Gamecocks
still beat Tennessee and Clemson. Recruiting well too. Future looks solid. Happy New Year.
Kinda crappy that you can't start a game on the SEC Alternate Channel rather than finish one. God forbid a game where one team is favored by 30 not start appropriately.

@CFBHeather
says WR Jalin Hyatt should be in the Heisman conversation with Hendon Hooker 👀
"The catches that he's making are just jaw-dropping, and the talent is remarkable."
Bench play was exceptional, but we knew that going in. Congratulations to the
#Gamecocks
and
@dawnstaley
. What a season, and what a special program Coach has built in Columbia. So good!
As I said last week, to each their own. That said, Mario Anderson's choice makes little sense to me. Be the top TB at an SEC school an hour from home, or grab a few extra bucks and step down to the G5? Have another solid season at SC and the story is told for years. Oh well.
Always fun hanging with
@Mike_Uva
! He’s a fine addition to an already quality staff at
@GamecockCentral
. Looking forward to what they do next! (And thanks for the
@Bojangles
snack too!)
Tonight I'm genuinely disappointed in those who, when presented with solid info, still refuse to accept it as real. There are South Carolina "fans" that would rather undermine their own coach, because they don't like him, than accept he may be wanted by an even better program. 🤷♂️
To watch the House and Senate get right back to work tonight has been reassuring. This has been one of the worst days of my life. I’m not alone. Regardless of belief we must be civil. Here’s to a better America for my kids and yours. 🇺🇸
As I listen to the warnings about power lines and outages I can't help but wonder when we're finally going to bury those lines and prevent a lot of this part of the equation in the future.
Said today I didn’t want
#Gamecocks
fans to feel scared or nervous, but that they should feel a bit of both because Ole Miss is good. Solid performance over 40 minutes, and the 20th win of the year was earned. Expect more of this type of game in February, and just keep winning.
What a strong performance from the
#Gamecocks
. 2nd half was especially impressive. CMB continues to impress, and the inside game was outstanding. On a day with news that
@CoachLParis
is staying in Columbia for a while, Carolina fans should be proud, excited and ready for more.
South Carolina football got better today. As I said last week,
@CoachSBeamer
can recruit.
#Gamecocks
fans should be excited. Always work to do, but more good players make that job a lot more manageable.
Really nice win for
#Gamecocks
MBB. This team has looked good in every phase of the game thus far. Two wins over ACC teams already. Long way to go, but some encouraging play early on.
Unexpected yet completely dominant performance by the
#Gamecocks
. Shane Beamer gets his first signature win. Suddenly these next three weeks take on a new meaning.
Big day for Team Philips as we celebrate our youngest daughter's 14th birthday and
@SunnyPhilips
' 14th anniversary of being cancer-free. Both of them went through a lot back then, and both are awesome now!
A very complete victory. Good shooting, good distribution, good defense. I know who they played, but I also know the opponent won here recently enough. I like what’s being built, but it doesn’t happen overnight.
Just heard from
@ReceDavis
on
@dpshow
while discussing Bama's schedule and describing the
#Gamecocks
: "Apart from the Georgia win they've been a near disaster."
This is the national perception SC must overcome. That's the biggest TV host in CFB, and he's not wrong.
Today was not a good day for Carolina football (they lost). Today was not a bad day for Carolina football (they played pretty well). Today WAS a day when Carolina football exceeded national expectations. Continuing to do that will mean better results.
#Gamecocks
Drove home from Disney World in bumper to bumper traffic on I-95 (with some rain) listening to the
#Gamecocks
beat Clemson. Most anxious road trip ever, and a MONUMENTAL win for South Carolina football!
That’s a big, important win for the
#Gamecocks
. Defense was excellent after the early struggles. Harris continues to impress. They really needed a game like this.
The line on
#Gamecocks
v UF is down to 5.5. Nothing will take away the significance of the win at Georgia but I'm looking at this week as equally important to the team. Got to follow that up with another win and make a big statement. Golden opportunity awaits.
Dawn Staley’s team went 19 minutes and 5 seconds without allowing a field goal in a conference road game. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.
#Gamecocks
Hope as many as possible can join us tomorrow afternoon at Founders Park to celebrate the life of our friend Tommy Moody. Service begins at 2pm.
He was the biggest
#Gamecocks
supporter I know, and probably the best person too.
"As long as I’m the coach at South Carolina, I’ll always be real. I’ll always be honest...What you see with me is what you get. I’m going to be me." -
@CoachSBeamer
Meanwhile Jalen Brooks, who went to a D2 school and performed well enough to get an SEC offer, sits around wondering what he did to have his
@NCAA
transfer request denied. Good to know Emmert and company have "student athlete welfare" at the top of their list.
Good. Cade Mays and Joey Gatewood received waivers to transfer and play immediately. Now get rid of rule that bans interconference transfers without sitting a year. The coaches wanted the rule to protect their rosters from poaching but then want an exception for a good player.
Y’all, I’m not going to call this a beat down, but I will say this was a dominant
#Gamecocks
win. They were in total control throughout. UK never really had a chance.
@CoachLParis
had his team completely prepared. This team is building something special. Wow. That was fun!
Carolina v Carolina in a bowl game. CFP finalists announced. Heisman ballots due. Venables (likely) to OU. Shane Beamer speaks. Frank Martin's team beats G'town. Tomorrow will be fun.
I couldn't care less WHAT you think of the decision, but folks acting like planning a semester at a large state university requires the same effort as packing a cooler with beer and sandwiches and going to the lake for the day are uninformed. IMO, good for Pres Caslen and
@UofSC
.
We called it a “can’t-lose game” all week. Mizzou was pretty good in the second half, but the
#Gamecocks
stood strong. Another big game for Mack and Cooper, and CMB is growing quickly. Nice win.
The
#Gamecocks
did everything they needed to do today. Had to get one on the road after last week’s disappointment. Really solid on D today, and they’re back on track. That said, keep winning. 😎🐔🏀
I don't remember Dan Reeves the player, but I learned early on how revered he was by Gamecock and Cowboy fans. As a Bronco fan I was so happy when he went to Denver. Such a kind, smart and professional man. It was a thrill every time he was on the show. RIP Coach. Thank you.
So great having Duce back in studio this afternoon. I miss the discussions he,
@WorldofHaney
and I had every day, but it was fun for Tommy and me to have an hour with him. He's one of the best people I know! If you missed it go here...
Had a blast at
@SodaCitySC
market today. It was packed with basketball visitors in addition to us locals. Beautiful day to show off downtown. As a lifer I'm really proud of and happy for the folks who have made a difference modernizing
@ColumbiaSC
!
#MarchMadness
Carolina got their ass kicked today. This is worse than the Georgia loss because everyone knows the Bulldogs are far more talented than SC. Mizzou outcoached and outplayed the
#Gamecocks
. The Tigers are not more talented. Setback result. Alters the conversation around here.
