@Dowell_Movement Probably could've done better on my part emphasizing the latter part in my original post.

@Dowell_Movement Correct, first time both things are true that I stated in my tweet. Three teams from SC made it and Carolina and Clemson weren't in the group.

Two sobering baseball facts today: - 2026 marks the first time ever that the state of South Carolina will have three teams in the Tournament, and neither South Carolina nor Clemson are included. - South Carolina has only claimed a Top 16 National seed once since 2017

I'm so ready to see the Gamecocks burst back on the national scene and remind everybody else who we are.

🗣️ WHOOP THAT TRICK! United States Champion @_trickwilliams has returned home to South Carolina!! 🤩

LOOK OUT BELOW 😵‍💫

We Gamecocks have a saying right after the opening kickoff of a football game in the Fall, and I think it's appropriate here in light of Stephen Garcia's cancer diagnosis: Go! Fight! Win! KICK {CANCER'S} ASS No. 5!

@LeeHogan2001 And it makes CFP appearances and the regular season even more meaningless.

@ALyon_SC As a Carolina fan expanded playoff helps us

Once again: Everyone benefits from the chaos except for true college football fans.

Good luck hitting this stuff 🔥

Just gonna leave this here

I have never in my life been/considered myself a sneakerhead, but I would buy these in a heartbeat

I dunno if this was Trick Williams’ first ever public promo but I’m going to claim it From cutting off the cuff promos on the GC podcast while training at the WWE performance center 5 years ago to winning a title at Wrestlemania. 🤯 Congrats Matrick!

@Fat_Electrician Correct

@ImKingGinger I’m not asserting I’m asking. Isn’t the big concern contact would kill them because their immune systems have never been exposed to all the shit we have?

Raise your hand if you think it's immoral to keep tribal groups like the people of North Sentinel Island from the blessings of modern technology, comforts, health and medicine, and electricity just so we can "preserve them" as a zoo and museum exhibit for people to observe.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page. It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection. Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do. Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades. The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water. It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left. The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero. When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Joyce Edwards, Jordan Lee and Agot Makeer running the fastbreak/transition game next season are going to have coaches and players contemplating their life choices

@Jacktveltri Congrats Jack!

I have dreamed of this day from the moment you whispered you loved me for the first time. I love you, Caroline Riccardi Skeen. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you!!! 🤍💗🤍

Pope Leo's Easter message: "Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

@collyntaylor Bigtime! Congrats to you and the Mrs.!
