When I’m walking down the street and see a house with these two flags, and it’s Thanksgiving day, I am reminded to be good, and to wish Peace for all!

Mini Conversations: Gamecock Jesus youtu.be/ESPy5SBcZcQ?fe… via YouTube I’m heartbroken today to learn that Carlton Thompson has passed…into a great Gamecock Heaven. Watch this Mini Conversation to see the man beyond the flag and beyond the basket. Forever to Thee.

I’ve paid a fine for storming the court after beating Kentucky before, but this time it was free for me so I joined the crowd! Best students anywhere!

Last night I attended the wedding of two Gamecock greats, Parker White and Katie Smith, perhaps the all-time leading scoring USC couple (kicking field goals and Beach Volleyball). They are a great pair. Of course, we danced to Sandstorm. Have a long and happy life!

I’m super proud of you Gamecock Men's Basketball Lamont Paris and staff for a great year but more importantly the bright future we have in you all. We welcome many more March Madnesses!!!

Pregame meal done. Check! South Carolina Women's Basketball #love

10 more minutes to what every Gamecock wants. Let’s Go!

A NYT reporter described Coach Staley’s remarks after the game and quoted Maya Angelou who said “People will forget what you said, and what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Thanks Coaches and players for making all Gamecocks feel so special today!

I couldn’t be more happy to be “graduating” today with the USC Class of 2024. You see, Patricia and I are receiving Honorary Doctor of Public Service degrees at the 3PM ceremony. The real graduates are way smarter; it took us twelve years to get our degrees! Congrats to all.

Kickoff at Kroger Field at UK. I at Kroger was a supermarket, if so, let’s go on a shopping spree today. Go gamecocks!

The White House was the Garnet house today as the president, and what seemed like the whole city of Washington, celebrated our national championship WBB team. What a proud day for the university and for all of South Carolina.

I know we’re behind with one quarter to go in the Palmetto Bowl, but everything I’m feeling is that it will turn our way before the end. Go Gamecocks and Believe!

OMG.

This was epic, heavenly, redemptive, exciting, emotional, historic. Congrats Coaches, players and FANS!!! We are proud Gamecocks! Let’s never forget this one. On the CFP!

Ran into former Gamecock student body president Luke Rankin and his family in the London Underground! After griping about the CFP snub we agreed that we are the most beloved U.S. university in London. Anyone can challenge that, but the voting is over! Happy Holidays to all.

Love our football program, players, coaches and fans. We will be back even stronger next year! Let’s hold our heads high. Happy 2025 to Gamecock Nation.

A’ja Wilson…a woman of the year? You bet. You’ll never meet someone with a sneaker named for them who is more humble, and more caring about her community. This is really big and highly deserved! So glad we retired your number at USC!

SEC Commissioner Sankey has a hard task in flipping a coin to determine the WBB top seed. I offered him a special coin to help him out!

Mini Conversations: Dean Charles Bierbauer youtu.be/Lc9uKSAU1js?si… via YouTube It’s a great Labor Day for all Gamecocks! But I want to salute a friend, colleague and great applied scholar, Charles Bierbauer, who we lost this week. Here’s our “mini conversation.” Rest in peace.
