The matchup is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. CT on ESPN. Fans can watch this game for free online by using the free trial offered by DirecTV. Alternatively, fans can purchase a monthly subscription offered by Fubo TV/Sling. The Gamecocks are coming off a relatively successful season, as they ended the year with a 9-4 record. Notably, the team won six of its last seven games in 2024. In order to win today’s game, the Gamecocks will need to rely on their sophomore quarterback LaNorris Sellers. He threw for 18 touchdowns and more than 2,500 yards last season, which highlights his arm talent. Sellers also rushed for nearly 700 yards last year, so he will look to continue his offensive success today. The Hokies are coming off a rough season, as they ended the year with a 6-7 record. In order to pull off the upset today, the Hokies will need a great performance from their senior quarterback Kyron Drones. He completed less than

Popular streaming personality John “Tectone” Robertson announced an indefinite hiatus from livestreaming via a heartfelt post to X (formerly Twitter). The news comes amid a series of escalating controversies and emotional strain. In his Aug. 30th post, Tectone admitted that he’s been wrestling with daily anger, confessing: “Yeah guys I’ma be real. I’m gonna leave for a while. Not sure when I’ll be back tbh but my mind is clouded. I’m just angry everyday, I’m crashing out over nothing and I don’t want my resentment guiding me." He further revealed that he spirals out of control over the smallest triggers. "I see where I’m headed and I don’t like it at all. I’m saying things I don’t mean, I’m tilting out over the smallest things.” Tectone, who’s known for his outspoken and often unfiltered on-air persona, addressed his mental state without shying away from self-awareness: "The worst thing is, I still can’t even explain to you guys why I’m so angry and that’s what’s frustrating me the most because I value transparency over everything. I’m going to go on break, I hope not for too long. But no streams for a while." He added that he intends to get his

Twitch streamer Maxwell "Plaqueboymax" recently hosted a collaborative broadcast with National Basketball Association player Michael Porter Jr. During his broadcast on August 30, 2025, the streamer was seen playing basketball with the professional player. At one point during the broadcast, Michael Porter Jr. was being asked a number of questions by Plaqueboymax. After a while, the 27-year-old basketball player claimed that the producer had asked no controversial questions, prompting the latter to ask Michael his take on how many genders there were. In response, Michael laughingly responded: "Dude, asked how many genders... It's two genders... Don't you think it's two genders or am I tripping?... You know, people be scared, bro. How many genders do you think it is?" Stating that there could be as many genders as one would like there to be, Plaqueboymax replied: "I'ma be honest, bro, like I think it's as many genders as n****s want it to be genders, in my opinion. I dead don't give a f**k." Michael Porter Jr. then stated that the streamer being a resident of Los Angeles may have shifted his opinion on the topic: "You been in LA too long, n***a." "God created male and female": Michael Porter Jr.

Over the past few months, some of the bigger news drops from Elite: Dangerous have been folded into a wider livestream from Frontier Developments that covers all of its different games – and often those details would be the last segment of the show. That changes next month, however, as the studio has announced that reveals for the spaceship sandbox will spin away on to the game’s YouTube channel instead. “Don’t worry, you’ll still get your regular cadence of Elite information, including behind the scenes information, reveals, concept art and more,” the announcement clarifies. “nstead, we’re going to be delivering news to you in a less time-restricted way.” As for what to expect from this first new series of broadcasts, players are invited to tune in for a closer look at the recently revealed Type-11 Prospector mining ship. That broadcast is scheduled for sometime next week, possibly on Wednesday like every other time the studio has had reveals, but a firm date isn’t tied down yet. Reaction to the news has not exactly been sunny in the tweet’s replies, while fans on Reddit appear to be taking a bit of a more measured outlook, though between both sites there’s a

In our world, attention is currency–and views unlock that currency. Getting big views means earning not just the attention of the viewers actively tuned in, but the attention of brands, managers, creator services companies, the media, platforms themselves, and more. People like MrBeast and Kai Cenat are always on the digital front page because they’re some of the top-viewed creators in the world. So it’s not entirely unexpected that content creators who want more of the attention currency might try to game the system which grants it. That’s where viewbotting comes in. Viewbots are fake viewers that fluff up engagement numbers. How? By ‘watching’ a creator’s video or sitting in their livestream, making it look like more people are tuning in. Padding the viewer count with just one more might not seem like a problem, but creators who employ viewbots usually don’t stop at just one. Services offering viewbots send out fleets of them, guaranteeing thousands upon thousands of views. Subscribe for daily Tubefilter Top Stories Subscribe Viewbotting has worsened in recent years, and Twitch has faced particular scrutiny. Creators like Trainwreck (who has an ownership stake in Kick, so perhaps take a pinch of salt here) have insisted top

The short trailer also features Creed and Black Panther actor Michael B. Jordan, who dares Cenat to cut his hair should the streamer reach 1 million subscribers during Mafiathon 3. Mafiathon 3 was first announced at the Las Vegas Sphere on August 19th, together with the reveal of Kai Cenat’s Fortnite skin line, Icon Series. Kai Cenat has been making waves in the content creation scene for several years with his comedic content across Twitch, YouTube, and other social media.

Comparable to other subathons in the content creation space, Kai Cenat live-stream for an extended duration to boost his subscription count. However, the streamer’s take on a fairly common concept stood out for his extensive content plan, high production quality
