Sometimes it’s time to talk about it and talk about it before the week gets started. Your cure for the Sunday Scarys during football season is Rooster Rant, Gamecock fans.
During South Carolina football seasons on Sunday nights immediately following the head coach teleconference, the Late Night crew, along with Joe Macheca, bring you an early chance to get in and talk about the Gamecocks win or lose. Rooster Rant is highly interactive, reactionary show that stars all of you in addition to the terrific trio.
Rooster Rant streams live on the Chief Sports App, our YouTube South Carolina channel and on X. It is also available in archived format across all social media platforms as well as in podcast format under the Inside the Gamecocks brand (more information below).
