Last week, Gene Sapakoff announced he's leaving The Post and Courier after 38 years at the Charleston newspaper. One of the strange elements of his departure: The leadership at the paper hasn't given him an opportunity to write a farewell column in the sports section that featured his mug shot since the 1980s. Sapakoff joins The Dubcast to reflect on when and why he chose to hang it up, and what his next chapter looks like. He also shares a wealth of anecdotes and memories of covering the biggest names in the Palmetto State's sports history. He recalls getting cussed at by Danny Ford when he wrote a column labeling the coach the "Prince of Paranoia" in 1987. And more recently, Sapakoff was publicly blasted by Shane Beamer at a press conference after he criticized Beamer's hire of offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains. While it's natural for old-timers to lament the departure of this state's last prominent newspaper sports columnist, Sapakoff has an optimistic outlook on the present and future of sports coverage in South Carolina and beyond.

Pete Iacobelli, an institution in South Carolina sports journalism after having spent three decades working for the Associated Press, joins the podcast to reminisce about all the people and stories he's covered. Iacobelli also weighs in on the more memorable public spats between coaches and media, including this week's dust-up between Shane Beamer and Post and Courier columnist Gene Sapakoff. Iacobelli had his own private conflict with Dabo Swinney three years ago, but he said that episode didn't affect his overall relationship with Clemson's legendary coach. Iacobelli also delves into his process, an often stressful one given tight deadlines immediately after games are complete. He remembers having his story basically written in 2004 when Clemson had removed all doubt in a blowout win over South Carolina. But then he looked up and saw a brawl unfolding in the final minutes, and the infamous episode caused some on-the-fly adjusting as Iacobelli tried to ascertain exactly what happened.
