Matt Carli of MeatLockerSports.com joins us to break down the Gamecocks who were taken in the 2013 NFL Draft and how they will contribute their teams in the coming years. Connor and George also discuss 2014 mock drafts, way too early top 25s for 2013, the betting line for the 2013 season opener against North Carolina, and whether or not the SEC should move to a 9-game conference schedule. |

We're not in Appalachia anymore, as Michael Fuller, staff writer on the new Sundance channel series "Rectify", joins us to talk about what it's like to write for a critically acclaimed and (hopefully) widely watched cable drama, our mutual distaste for hacky Jadeveon Clowney blog posts, and his expectations for the 2013 football season. Connor and guest co-host Brandi Mills also discuss the NFL Draft, the College Football Playoff, Joker Phillips' phenomenal Instagram account, and what restaurant Steve Spurrier would be. |

Connor and George review the Garnet & Black spring game, and 247Sports National Recruiting Director J.C. Shurburtt hops on to break down the commitment of Bryson Allen-Williams and explain what he'll bring to the South Carolina football team beginning in 2014. |

Former South Carolina wide receiver Tim "Pops" Frisby joins Connor and George to talk about what the members of the 2013 receiving corps need to do to take a step forward, why he turned down a scholarship offer from Lou Hotlz, what Steve Spurrier did to change the mentality of the football program, and whether or not the Head Ball Coach's predecessor really did lose control of the locker room. Connor and George also exhaust all possible puns related to Da'Shawn Hand, look back at the baseball team's sweep of the Tennessee Volunteers, and discuss the controversy surrounding D.J. Swearinger and Justice Cunningham's temporary exile from the weight room and the latter's subequent flurry of activity on Twitter. |

Connor and George talk to Gamecock legend Marcus Lattimore about his recovery from his October knee injury, his career at South Carolina, and Steve Spurrier coaching with his shirt off.

Fri, 22 March 2013
In this bonus episode of Half Cocked, Connor interviewed Landon Howell, director of strategy and content for a new sports social media app called Fancred. Landon explained what Fancred is all about and described the ways you can use to improve your experience as a producer and/or consumer of online sports content. Connor and Landon also talked about adjusting to cultures not as obsessed with college football after moving away from the South, why college sports elicit a more emotional connection from us than professional sports, and the strange history of interbreeding between the coaching staffs of South Carolina and Southern Miss (Landon's alma mater). |

For this episode of the podcast, George and Connor were joined by Brandi Mills (The Big Spur, #TeamGarcia) and Gman (The Rubber Chickens Blog) for part one of two in their series on Gamecock sports and social media. The guys break down a Harlem Shake video featuring a nearly nude Devin Taylor before being joined by the always entertaining Brandi Mills, with whom they discussed her new role at The Big Spur, the newly released "Hard Hitta" rap song featuring Melvin Ingram and D.J. Swearinger, Shon Carson's Instagram account, and the time Brandi asked Steve Spurrier about his appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Then Connor and George are joined by Gman of The Rubber Chickens, who talks about what it was like interviewing Phil Kornblut and Carey Rich for TRC Unleashed, what he's looking forward to learning about the Gamecock football team during spring practice, and where you can pick up the latest Rubber Chickens duds. All that and more on this week's episode of Half Cocked. |
