![]() In a video released on Decemby Gamecock Football’s official Twitter page, the opening scene shows Shane Beamer addressing the 2021 Carolina Football team. “There were no jealousies, only the indomitable will to win.” Seibels recalled what made that Sewanee team so great. The Homeric aspects of Sewanee’s 1899 team were not lost on legendary sportswriter Grantland Rice who named the 1899 Tigers “the most durable team I ever saw.” According to the late, long-time journalist and author Wendell Givens, the night before that 1931 Auburn game, Diddy Seibels, the team captain of the 1899 Sewanee team was on what today would be described as a sports talk radio show. On that six-day Southern odyssey, the Sewanee Tigers traveled to Texas, Texas A&M, Tulane, LSU, and Memphis (where they faced Ole Miss) and surrendered not a single point. ![]() During that run, Sewanee played five games in six days. It had been 32 years since the 1899 Iron Men of Sewanee had gone undefeated - a perfect 12-0. On November 14, 1931, Auburn beat Sewanee in a shutout at Birmingham’s Legion Field. The Verdict is in: Beamer addressed the missing piece.

Someone that came in and was voted a captain by his teammates last season as a junior and has an opportunity to be a two-time captain here at South Carolina. So fired up that he's back as our quarterback for another year. What a great season that he had down the stretch for us last season. I've known him since 2018 when I got to Oklahoma and we were recruiting him. “Spencer and I already obviously together as Oklahoma. Those guys embody what is right, guys that are tough, dependable, competitive and unbelievable ambassadors for our program. You hear what's wrong with college athletics these days. “Excited about the three guys that I have with me here today, Spencer Rattler, Kai Kroeger, and Tonka Hemingway, three guys that are great examples of everything that's right about college athletics.

It's a great fraternity of coaches in this league and I'm happy to be part of it.” ![]() I love going to Destin in the month of May and being around so many other Hall of Fame coaches, not just football, but women's basketball and men's basketball. I love coming here and being able to see so many faces here at SEC Media Day each year. You look at the NFL Draft every single season, what we are doing off-season the field as well, players and coaches want to play in this league and want to coach in this league and I'm no different. ![]() There's nothing like the Southeastern Conference, the premiere conference in the nation on the field. “Big reason for that is because of how fantastic this league is. I used to watch on the SEC Network, so to be standing up here for the third year in a row is something I am extremely grateful for and like I said will never take for granted. I will never take for granted the position that I'm in as a head football coach in the Southeastern Conference. “You've made it to the final day so we are on the home stretch and certainly can finish this thing. “It's great to be back here for Media Day, I've been watching on SEC Network all week, so hope your week has gone well,” Beamer said. It took a little more than 2,000 words for him to run through the state of his program, heading into the 2023 season. South Carolina Gamecocks football coach Shane Beamer was the 13th coach to speak at the podium in the big room at SEC Media Days in Nashville. ![]()
