Shane Beamer takes shot at media after South Carolina loss

Shane Beamer's up-and-down tenure as the head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks seems likely to continue early on in the 2026 season.

The Gamecocks swallowed a tough loss to conference rivals Mississippi State yesterday, despite taking a nine-point lead into the halftime locker room. However, allowing 17 unanswered points in the third quarter flipped the game on its head, and South Carolina didn't have enough answers to overcome the Bulldogs' run, ultimately falling 41-34.
