Did grounded flights affect South Carolina, Clemson weekend sports games?

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a rare nationwide ground stoppage on Friday, pausing all departing flights “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.” It was only the third such stoppage this century. The ground stoppage was issued at 3:54 p.m. and lifted late Friday. Here’s how it impacted weekend sports events for Clemson and South Carolina athletics. National officials said the ground stoppage is related to a telecommunications error and wasn’t related to a cyberattack or anything “nefarious,” per Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Planes already in the sky at the time of the stoppage will land at their final destinations, the FAA said Friday.

“There’s No Doubt We Can Beat Them”: Clemson Coach Sends Blunt Warning to Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Ahead of Thursday’s Clash

Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks have established themselves as one of the most dominant programs in women’s college basketball. However, Clemson head coach Shawn Poppie isn’t intimidated by the No. 1-ranked team ahead of Thursday’s rivalry showdown. Speaking during a press conference ahead of the game, Poppie explained why he expects his team to deliver a stronger performance against the Gamecocks. “I think that for them as young people, and this is no disrespect to the first three opponents we had, it’s harder to get them focused for those three than it is this one. I think that, in itself, you’re gonna see a different team come Thursday just based on the opponent, right, of how your focus level is leading up… I, as the head coach, want us to play better than we did the first three games. But you’re trying to convince 18 to 22-year-olds that believe that we’re probably better than them, we don’t have to play our best. It’s the fine line. I think there’s no doubt in that locker room that we think that we can beat them on Thursday,” Poppie said. Clemson WBB coach Shawn Poppie, previewing Thursday’s game vs. No. 1 South Carolina

Dawn Staley Finally Gets Her Dream Recruit as GG Banks Chooses South Carolina Over LSU, Texas

What Gamecocks' first SEC availability report says about LaNorris Sellers' status

As expected: No. 17 South Carolina listed quarterback LaNorris Sellers in its first availability report ahead of Saturday’s matchup against Arkansas. After injuring his ankle during the Gamecocks’ 17-9 win over Texas A&M last week, Sellers is designated as questionable three days out from USC’s game in Fayetteville. Receivers Nyck Harbor and Nitro Tuggle and defensive back J’Zavien Currence also were listed as questionable. Sellers got tests done on his ankle Sunday night and South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said “everything looked good,” giving him the confidence to say, “We fully expect him to play (against Arkansas).” In the second quarter of Saturday’s win over the Aggies, a Texas A&M defender landed on Sellers’ left ankle as he sacked the Gamecocks’ quarterback. Sellers left the game and immediately got X-rays inside Williams-Brice Stadium. When those came back negative, meaning there was no break, it allowed Sellers to continue playing. Early in the second half, it was clear he was struggling to manage the pain. He wasn’t stepping into throws. He consistently looked down at his ankle after bad throws. He seemed unsure of how much the ankle could take. Eventually, though, the injury’s affects weren’t showing themselves as much, which
