South Carolina beat Vanderbilt in the final minute of the 2016 season opener when Elliott Fry delivered a 55-yard field goal to cap a comeback from a 10-0 deficit. Connor and The Feathered Warrior were in the stands. Even though they were still drunk during the first quarter and their voices were shot by the fourth, they talk about what they saw.

Connor, The Feathered Warrior, Jorge, and Brandi discuss the season opener against Vanderbilt, South Carolina's clear bags policy, Andy Demetra leaving for Georgia Tech, and other stuff.

Connor and The Feathered Warrior got tired of arguing with people on Twitter, so they decided to record a podcast. South Carolina advanced to the super regionals, and that's great; but we should continue to apply the same scrutiny to the Holbrook Era. The same goes for Will Muschamp, who is suddenly without his best defensive player and isn't recruiting quite on the level (so far) that we thought he would. Also, Florida tries to box out South Carolina as the rightsholders to the Steve Spurrier-Florida Field legacy.

Will Muschamp was introduced as the 34th head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks football team. That's what we talked about.

Mark Richt to Miami, *everyone* to South Carolina, per reports. Virginia Tech hit a homerun in the gentrifying ACC Coastal and Georgia takes a calculated risk on Kirby Smart. Plus, it's conference championship weekend and as many as five teams with losing records could go bowling. Fun!

We lost to Clemson, and that's fine. We still don't appear to be anywhere close to hiring a coach, and that's not. Twitter: @HalfCockedShow, @MeetMeAtTapps, @FeatherdWarrior Email: halfcockedshow@gmail.com Cock Box: 312-789-5647
