Your love and support have meant more to us than we can put into words.” The two Midlands storefronts opened a few years ago as Sully’s Steamers bagel sandwich locations.

Stacked offered number of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, including a host of “signature stacks” that could be served as a wrap or on a toasted or steamed bagel. They also had salads and other offerings. “While this chapter has come to an end, we will always be grateful for the memories made, the friendships formed and the

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

Former Gamecocks assistant Winston Gandy earns signature win at new school

A former South Carolina women’s basketball assistant coach started off his second season at his new program with a marquee win. Former Gamecocks assistant Winston Gandy’s Grand Canyon University women’s basketball team upset Oregon 81-74 at home Monday for its first win against a Power 4 team this year in front of a near-sellout crowd. The Ducks, a perennial NCAA Tournament team , were favored by 9.5 points despite playing on the road at GCU in Phoenix. But Gandy’s Antelopes (2-0) led by as many as 18 points and shot 9 of 13 (69.2%) on 3-pointers to upset an Oregon team that won 23 games and reached the NCAA Round of 32 as a No. 8 seed last year. The Oregon win marks Gandy’s second against a Power 4 team at GCU after the Lopes, who play in the Mountain West, beat ACC team SMU last year. That’s one win shy of Grand Canyon’s all-time win total vs. P4 teams before he arrived (three). Grand Canyon’s Monday win was nationally televised on CBS Sports Network. “I thought we got lost in winning,” Gandy told GCU’s radio broadcast postgame. “That was our thing: Get lost in winning, and everything else will
