So BLESSED! 38 years @postandcouier and to be able to leave 1 of the great jobs on earth - sports columnist in CHS - on my own. Got to work with/compete vs. AMAZING folks. Thrilled about a few exciting opportunities, plus service projects in SC/GA and abroad. ❤️ y’all!

Thanks, NBA Thanks, basketball. Villanova won the 2016 Charleston Classic (and beat the College of Charleston a few days later in the same building) with future Knicks Brunson, Hart, Bridges doing work. villanova.com/news/2016/11/2…

Gary Smith, one of the greatest writers ever, wasn’t the only superstar sleeping in his own bed for the last 40 years. Sally Wilson Smith, wow - former Gamecocks tennis standout, superb journalist, revered doctor, all-star mom, friend. Sad, sweet obit: obits.postandcourier.com/us/…

Great journalist, better human
Programming alert: My tenure covering Clemson for The Post and Courier will end this week. In mid-June, I'll join The Advocate/Times-Picayune as their LSU football reporter. Thank you, Clemson people, for reading these last five years. And I'll see you Week 1 in Baton Rouge.

Life update. I hope you enjoy your journey as much as I have enjoyed mine, especially the past 21 years with @GamecocksOnline and @GamecockFB.

The latest @UofSC star with Virginia ties: our granddaughter from Chesapeake, who starts in August! I credit @dawnstaley (UVa) and @CoachSBeamer (VaTech) for stirring the inspiration to move South, and great parents. No idea where she got the idea to major in journalism!

Was there, so much fun! Thanks for remembering this!
This is something cool that I don't think I've ever heard anything about Jennifer Capriati and Martina Navratilova playing an exhibition at McAlister Fieldhouse back in December of 1991 @CitadelSports @JenCapriati @Martina @CharlestonOpen

Happy Black History Month! And so happy - with the leadership of John Rivers, the Charleston RiverDogs and others - Charleston’s 1955 Cannon Street YMCA Little League All-Stars are still going strong with projects, trips, fundraising, honors, anniversaries, and public speaking.

Tough loss for the @ChicagoBears Ben Johnson, like Shane Beamer a Charleston-born son of a former @CitadelFootball coach

That’s right, nine years ago Joe Thomas Sr, 55, played varsity football for the SC State Bulldogs. What a fun story! @SCSTATE1896 @SCState_Fb youtu.be/BZabGEdpEv0?si=fs12… via @YouTube

Great offseason acquisition by MLB:
Excited to share I am joining @MLB dot com as a columnist/features contributor. Spoke to execs and scouts in an effort to rank a talented but flat top tier of FA pitching: mlb.com/news/top-free-agent-…

So fun to be a volunteer tour guide at the Boyhood Home of Woodrow Wilson in Augusta for over a year. Get to talk Civil War, architecture and baseball. The museum next door has stuff about Wilson‘s presidency, World War I, and terrible record on race. wilsonboyhoodhome.org/

RE: Blake Butera. Quite a run of former @ChasRiverDogs players or managers who have become MLB skippers: Dave Trembley, Charlie Montoyo, Rocco Baldelli, Carlos Mendoza, Matt Quartaro.

Fun to run Sunday in the Evergreen Pumpkin Run in Jacksonville, 10 pumpkin-lined miles through a very large, very old cemetery full of oaks. Among famous Floridians buried there is a teacher and coach best known for the band name picked by a few of his students. #gimmethreesteps

Spent a month in Israel last year. Tears of joy this morning. For everyone in the Middle East.
