South Carolina Ignored by National Media — Bulletin Board Material for 2026?

Is South Carolina football being completely disrespected by the national media? 🤔

In this episode, we break down the latest “100 Under-the-Radar Transfer Portal Players” list — and react to the shocking fact that not a single Gamecock made the cut. Is this media bias? Oversight? Or bulletin-board material for Shane Beamer’s squad heading into 2026?

We dive into why South Carolina’s transfer additions deserve more attention, how the Gamecocks are being evaluated nationally, and whether this “no respect” narrative could actually fuel a breakout season in the SEC.

We also discuss the latest news surrounding NCAA Tournament expansion and what a larger March Madness field would mean for college basketball, power conferences, and mid-majors alike. Is expansion good for the sport — or just a money grab?

Plus, we preview one of the best weekends in college baseball as the Salute the Troops Series returns to Founders Park — one of the premier ballparks in the SEC. From atmosphere to on-field matchups, we explain why this might be the coolest regular-season weekend in college baseball.

If you’re a Gamecock fan, SEC junkie, or college sports diehard, this episode is for you.
