This undoubtedly has to be the lowest point in the rivalry

for UofSC.....i can't imagine the depths of their despair right now after 2 titles and now recruiting going nutso. They absolutely have to be wondering if they will ever see another win against the Tigers at this point. Think about if the shoe was on the other foot....it would be miserable.
Can anyone remember a time when the dirtpeckers were in a worse spot in the series?

It's gotten so bad my Bamacoot little brother

won't even talk football with me anymore. He said "I've just given up." Poor guy is broken. Not much strut in his rooster these days. Hilarious at family get togethers. I tell him "Bad news bro..Clemson's gonna be good. Again." And he just walks away shaking his head.

I sent my coot cuz a picture of the new DOT sign and he flew off the rails....got super angry. We've had some fun bets on the game over the years but he won't touch it nowadays. He only wants to bet when the Tigers play Bama...lol.

Pretty much the same with my TWO coot brothers. When they had 5, they couldn't WAIT to bring it up, working it into every conversation. It killed them for us to win that that Natty with DW4.
One of them went so far as to say shortly after that signing day that Trevor Lawrence probably won't amount to anything at Clemson, and that [whoever they recruited at QB that year] was going to be the ticket to SCAR getting back on top.
In my pity for them, I just said "We'll see." and let it go. I don't even try to needle them anymore. It's like playing basketball with a 3-year-old kid.

I hope it's different in that you let the three year old win. Otherwise I'm shakin' my head.

during the 5-game losing streak, the back-to-back-to-back 11-win seasons, and their 2 Baseball Natties. It was a bleak time for Tiger fans and I couldn't imagine us turning it around this quickly and this emphatically.
So I'm really enjoying the run right now!

our game in 1999, when the reality set in that they had a perfect DEFEATED season under Lou "Slobber Slinger" Holtz.

I think the fan base is pretty demoralized but delusion hasn't disappeared completely. I heard just yesterday a podcast where the host, Keith Allsep, who refers to himself as "The #### Father," (I'm not making that up), lays out a scenario in which SC has 8 wins heading into the A&M game.

I love my mother dearly

even though she has two degrees from that school in Columbia (my dad and I are Clemson alum). She used to go to most every home game, but the magic is gone and she's content to stay at home. It's actually kinda hard seeing her not have something to be passionate about anymore in Gamecock football.
That being said, I freaking love where the rivalry's at lol. I agree with you; how could they be any lower than right now? Five in a row and now they're watching us put together a legendary recruiting class. There's no end in sight for them. We're gonna be counting toes soon.

Clemson has no ceiling .
Coots have no floor .
One climbs the ladder of success well ahead of all others in pursuit while UofSuC slogs lost through the jungles of anonymity...seemingly forgotten .

We're on a five win streak which has no end in sight. If I didn't know better I'd think you were advocating for the coots.

i imagine during the 7 straight losses to CU it got pretty desperate.

Here’s to hoping we shatter that streak.
