## Caption

Whit Merrifield and Patrick DiMarco are back in Columbia — and they're ready to talk Gamecocks.

In this trailer of the HitStick Podcast, the former South Carolina standouts look back on their time together at Carolina, the unforgettable era of Gamecock athletics they experienced firsthand, and why there's so much excitement surrounding South Carolina sports today.

Whit and Patrick talk football, baseball, basketball, the passion of Gamecock Nation, South Carolina's new Nike era and what they're looking forward to across the athletic department. They also explain what HitStick will bring fans each week: honest conversations, former and current players, coaches, professional athletes and an inside perspective from two guys who know what it means to represent South Carolina.
