Pete Iacobelli, an institution in South Carolina sports journalism after having spent three decades working for the Associated Press, joins the podcast to reminisce about all the people and stories he's covered.
Iacobelli also weighs in on the more memorable public spats between coaches and media, including this week's dust-up between Shane Beamer and Post and Courier columnist Gene Sapakoff.
Iacobelli had his own private conflict with Dabo Swinney three years ago, but he said that episode didn't affect his overall relationship with Clemson's legendary coach.
Iacobelli also delves into his process, an often stressful one given tight deadlines immediately after games are complete.
He remembers having his story basically written in 2004 when Clemson had removed all doubt in a blowout win over South Carolina. But then he looked up and saw a brawl unfolding in the final minutes, and the infamous episode caused some on-the-fly adjusting as Iacobelli tried to ascertain exactly what happened.
