“From day one, CB18’s mission has been to be a HOME for all Gamecocks fans,” said CB18 co-owner Jeff O’Hara, better known on social media as ‘Cocks By 90.’ “We wanted to create a place that could give our Gamecocks fans unique experiences like they’ve never had before. Garnet Nights Unplugged is exactly that. Nowhere else that I can recall has had a live players show like we’re going to have. I’ve enjoyed going to the coaches call-in shows over the years and the idea to try and recreate one with our players where we can get to know them on a more personal level will be a fun time for everyone who comes out.”
Through the Garnet Trust and CB18, Gamecock student-athletes who are guests on the show will benefit through NIL. The chance to help Gamecock student-athletes is one of the main reasons why O’Hara and CB18 wanted to get involved.
“We’re going to do special deals with the new Garnet Trust Sandstorm Game Day Lager by Steel Hands and give a percent back to the players who are the guests that week. We plan to get creative with fun giveaways for people who show up where they can win autographed memorabilia from the players that night. We also have a few more fun tricks up our sleeves that we’ll announce at these shows.”
