The South Carolina football coach referred to the program as “our in-state rival.”

Shane Beamer kicked off his first ever SEC Media Day event on Monday, and absolutely took the league by storm. He made references to the current state of the program and his expectations for the future. He also threw in a few recruiting notes from what’s been a busy Summer in Columbia, and was able to earn the respect of fellow SEC coaches and supporters.

SEC Network analyst Jordan Rodgers is already anointing Beamer with his MVP of SEC Media Day honors.
