ON THIS DAY nine years ago, A’ja Wilson recorded 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 blocks to lead South Carolina to a 67–55 victory over Mississippi State and bring home the program’s first national championship. 🥹🏆🐔🪄

A'ja Wilson found a fan at the Bulls-Heat game wearing her Aces jersey.
With Benny the Bull's blessing, she gifted that fan a custom ball ❤️

Thank you @thestate, for pulling this column of mine from 2001 from the archives! thestate.com/sports/article…
Great series by @jordankaye_23 on Demetris Summers. I had the privilege of covering him in high school school and man, was he something to behold.

I was stringing for the @ajc in 2010 when UGA came to Columbia, and that's the first time I remember hearing the "Latti-more, Latti-more" chant as it became abundantly clear that the Bulldogs could not stop him in his very first SEC game (37 carries, 182 yards, 2 TDs).

I mean, the question is, was anyone ahead of Lattimore? My gut is no, but interested if Brad has other names. Feels like a good space for a top-10. Like Dylan Stewart or Bryan Edwards were decidedly to very good starters, but clearly not at the top.

Amazing piece of storytelling, and what incredible #Gamecocks hoops lore this holds. Beautiful work, Dan Klores. Worthy of its own @30for30.

Filmmaker, author and Peabody Award winner (and USC alum) Dan Klores reached out about this a couple of weeks ago. Honored to let him tell a story about Billy Walsh, one of McGuire's Gamecocks who recently died. postandcourier.com/sports/carolin…

@johnmwhittle @JDonati_SC
is losing massive ground with #Gamecocks faithful over his silence about the baseball program. I've heard it all over the place. John, your article was fantastic, and the incompetence, pettiness and cruelty shown by the current staff demanded a formal response.

Athletics director Jeremiah Donati just spent 10 minutes on Paul Finebaum, who didn't ask him a single question about South Carolina. You'd have never known what school he was the AD for if it wasn't sewn onto his jacket. Disappointing not to hear a word about the Gamecocks.

What an absolutely wonderful column about sports, streaks, character, and life from a clearly amazing human being (with great advice for @GamecockWBB and @dawnstaley). #Gamecocks thestate.com/opinion/articl…

These photos are absolutely incredible, every one of them. We do not mourn enough the loss of true photojournalists at newspapers. We are absolutely the worse off for it.

Who'd have thought, a mere 50 years later, they'd be undefeated national champions, am I right, @dawnstaley?

David Cloninger@DCPandC
He'll be back for some freelance stuff, but for full-time work ... The chairman has left the building. @PIacobelli_AP has retired after 32 years. The best.

This is Theo. He's always looking out for his older sister Mia. Sometimes that means simply making sure she gets enough pets at day care. 13/10 for both

So the @GamecockFB team has more ranked wins than 9 potential playoff teams have combined. Incredible.

This just may become the most-watched clip of my life. Just a couple days in, and I'm certain it's in the top 10. Impeccable. Priceless. Perfect.
