100 DAYS!!!!!!!!!! That's right only 100 Days!

This is the 29th year of the GAS Countdown! y'all know the rules.

Dowell Loggains



Hired at the age of 44, Loggains (pronounced LOG-ans) became the 23rd head football coach in program history. His five-year contract runs through the 2029 season.

Before serving as South Carolina's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Loggains was an assistant for two years at his alma mater, Arkansas, after spending 17 years in the NFL. That includes his time as an offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach for the Tennessee Titans (2010-13), Cleveland Browns (2014), Chicago Bears (2015-17), Miami Dolphins (2018) and New York Jets (2019-20).

Loggains' offense during the 2024 season helped the Gamecocks reach the brink of the College Football Playoff with a 9-3 regular-season record that included wins over Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Missouri and Clemson. South Carolina had the third-best rushing offense in the SEC during the regular season at 188.9 yards per game while ranking top 50 in the country in scoring, yardage, rushing, first downs and completion percentage.
He developed redshirt freshman LaNorris Sellers into one of college football's most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks. Under Loggain’s watch, Sellers threw for 2,274 yards with 17 touchdowns while also rushing for 655 yards and seven scores against one of the country's toughest schedules. He ranked 20th nationally in passing efficiency, 14th in yards per attempt, 25th in yards per completion, 28th in total offense and 35th in completion percentage.

Loggains also found success utilizing Raheim "Rocket" Sanders, one of the SEC's best running backs, to form a dynamic rushing attack.

In his first season in Columbia, Loggains turned future NFL quarterback Spencer Rattler and a future NFL first-round draft pick, wide receiver Xavier Legette, into one of the most lethal pass-and-catch combinations in the country.
Loggains spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons as the Arkansas Razorbacks' tight ends coach, earning a reputation as a top-25 national recruiter there.

During his decade-plus as an NFL coordinator and quarterbacks coach, he mentored the likes of Sam Darnold, Jay Cutler, Mitchell Trubisky, Brian Hoyer and Vince Young at quarterback, as well as running backs Chris Johnson, Kenyan Drake and Jordan Howard.
Loggains graduated from the University of Arkansas with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology in 2003 and a master's degree in education in 2005. He walked on to the Razorback football program in 2000 as a quarterback and holder before earning a scholarship and becoming a four-year letterman, appearing in 50 games.

I'm Ready for Football!

I'm also ready to go on one of my rants.

I want to address the endless worry, speculation, fan withdrawal syndrome and all uncertainty facing the sport we love and our program, NCAA, Nil, etc. etc. In lifes uncertainties and in our program you must have faith to move forward and face challenges come what may.

Assuage you concerns and have faith in the ALPHA

The Tennessee Waltz is such a sad song.

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Oh, I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

On Third Down this year, instead of playing the AC/DC Hells Bells, why do we not play the first notes of Arthur Smith's Dueling Banjos? Sort of like how USC Columbia plays a Gamecock Crowing. If Yosef is going to play a banjo at the beginning of the game, why do we not just lean into it a little farther?

Thanks GAS.

When I saw South Alabama was the opponent I thought they were going to show them scoring 100 on us at the Rock.

Thanks for dredging up that golden memory, Saint

When I saw South Alabama was the opponent I thought they were going to show them scoring 100 on us at the Rock.

They lulled us into a false sense of security.

[AppWyo]

For whatever reason, Appalachian has never been a third quarter team, I wonder why. Maybe it is the altitude. Other teams come to Boone and during the third quarter they get their second wind and then they are shot by the fourth quarter. Even the scores on College Football '25 bears this out as well.

Thanks GAS!! Given how many new guys we have the countdown means even more this year.
