Today, Jack Mahoney pitches in a college baseball game for the first time in 656 days, a moment two years in the making.
From hot pink duct tape to being a three-sport star to his dog, Zepp. This is Jack Mahoney:

Sterling Lucas came to South Carolina with no real recruiting experience. He’s since landed Desmond Umeozulu, helped land Nyck Harbor and was the lead recruiter for Dylan Stewart.
That’s pretty damn good.

Saturday will be my last game covering South Carolina, the final game of a nearly nine-year stint in sports media. My time with GamecockCentral has been nothing short of amazing but I'm incredibly excited for the next chapter.

South Carolina running a video Carey Rich, Alex English, A'ja Wilson, Stephon Gilmore, Justin McKie, PJ Dozier.
Every one ended it with "I'm from South Carolina and I'm a Gamecock."

I know it’s hard to see but if you look really close it has numbers under the big letters. Those number things are reserved for when the university was founded, which is also 49 years before California became a state.
If you stop folks on the street, show them this photo, and ask what school this is, in 49 states the answer is Southern Cal 🤷🏻♂️.

I knew the South Carolina-Tennessee series had been close dating back to 2005 (Spurrier's arrival). But these stats really show it.
