Will ‘ESPN College GameDay' come for South Carolina-Georgia? What needs to happen

Talk to any Gamecock fan right now and you could be forgiven for forgetting about the football game this weekend. Yes, No. 17 South Carolina (6-3, 4-3 SEC) plays a game at Arkansas on Saturday (7:45 p.m., SEC Network). And no, that has not stopped anyone from looking ahead to the behemoth matchup in two weeks, when No. 1 Georgia will travel to Williams-Brice Stadium with a College Football Playoff berth potentially on the line for USC. Obviously, there will be no dream of a spot in the CFP if the Gamecocks don’t handle business this week at Arkansas (3-6, 1-5 SEC), where South Carolina is a 7.5-point favorite. Also potentially on the line: Hosting ESPN’s “College GameDay” pregame TV show next week. If the Gamecocks win on Saturday, it seems plausible — if not extremely likely — to think that “College GameDay” could set up in Columbia ahead of South Carolina-Georgia. If you look across the college football schedule of games for Nov. 21, there are few other matchups with stakes that rival that of Georgia-South Carolina. As of now, there are only two other ranked matchups going on across the country. No. 21 LSU plays at No. 8

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

Some recruiting battles are won through persistence, while others come down to a connection that stays with a player long after their first conversation.

A pair of Midlands bagel sandwich shops have announced their closure. Stacked, which had bagel sandwich restaurants at 2835 Devine St. in Columbia and 5580 Sunset Blvd. in Lexington, announced in Thursday posts on social media that both locations have closed.

“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

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

‘Goats on the clock’: Meet the new landscaping crew cleaning up Columbia’s Finlay Park

COLUMBIA - Visitors to Finlay Park and the Vista Greenway may see a four-legged landscaping crew hard at work the week of Nov. 12.
