On Saturday, Sept. 6, coach Shane Beamer\u2019s Gamecocks\u2019 football squad is taking on their state rivals in the South Carolina State Bulldogs, in their home pitch, the Williams-Brice Stadium, for their matchup in week two of the 2025 college football regular season.<\/p>\n<p>With this, the Gamecocks\u2019 women\u2019s basketball social media team took it to their Instagram account to upload a story of Staley. In the video, Staley is seen embracing the love being shown by the South Carolina faithful towards her by dancing, as they were chanting her name repeatedly. This is because Staley was watching the game from \u201cThe Cockpit\u201d, which is what the school calls their student section in their football stadium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c@sc_cockpit @staley05,\u201d @gamecockwbb on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stories\/staley05\/3716002844781656685\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">captioned<\/a> with heart emojis before Staley responded on her own Instagram story, saying, \u201cGAMECOCK LOVE,\u201d with a couple of red heart emojis.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-156351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/auto-draft-09-07-25-170x300.jpeg\" alt=\"(image credits: @staley05 on Instagram)\" width=\"364\" height=\"643\"  \/>(image credits: @staley05 on Instagram)<\/p>\n<p>Coach <a href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/shane-beamer-feelings-clear-lanorris-sellers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beamer<\/a> and the rest of his Gamecocks\u2019 football squad, much to the delight of their fans and supporters, just like Staley, are heading into the Bulldogs matchup with proper momentum.
