[Mike Uva @Mike_Uva]

After nearly a decade of covering the Gamecocks, my time on the beat has come to an end. I’m excited to share that I’ve accepted a new position at Coastal Carolina as their Associate Athletic Director for Communications and Media.

Having the opportunity to work with Athletic Director Chance Miller (@cmiller05) was one I couldn’t turn down, especially after hearing the vision he has in this ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics.

To Gamecock Nation — THANK YOU! Even though I’ll always consider myself a guest in YOUR state, you have welcomed this Yankee. I’ll be forever grateful, and that will never change. I mean, shoot... I’m about to marry a Gamecock, who I proposed to just a few months ago inside of Williams-Brice with the help of your head football coach, @CoachSBeamer. Not to mention, Gamecock Nation’s role in making “The Uva” a thing at @Bojangles.

To Teal Nation — I’m looking forward to meeting you and telling YOUR story in a new and exciting way soon.

While I’m grateful for this past year in Rhode Island, I’m excited to be moving back to South Carolina with my bride-to-be. We love the Palmetto State, and we can’t wait to be back home.

I have one final South Carolina story. It’s one that I’ve been working on for 18 months that will be published at a later time. When we’re given the green light, it’ll be shared on @GamecockCentral.

“No. I don’t know. Other than, I’d like to find out where some of these [reports] come from. Some of these rats around here. We’ll figure that out.”
