My distaste for the gamecocks has progressed over time. In the 1960’s they were part of the ACC. Many of my friends we Carolina fans. It was a friendly rivalry. But with time the SC fans with class faded out of the picture and overtaken by the Aholes, jerks and arrogant fans. In the early 90’s they were still tolerable, even after the 45-0 blow out in 89’. Really it started getting bad when TB took over and hung some high scores on them. That was around the time players like Demetrius Summers from Lexington HS and guys like him started trashing their own facilities. I remember when they broke into the athletic building and stole laptops, posters of themselves and trashed the place. Now most SC fans are jerks who love to spread as many untrue rumors as possible about CLEMSON. The arrogance really took on a new level when Spurrier became the HC. The gamecocks are now locked in a time warp of the few successful Spurrier years. That’s there small piece of college football legacy that coot fans hold onto that makes them in their own minds a legit Competitive SEC program. But they have won 2 titles: 69 ACC Champs and under Spurrier 1 SEC East Champs. After 120 plus years that’s all they have to boost about. I can look back this year to find plenty of Clemson accomplishments to boost about.

Before Spurrier’s time there was the taunting by SC in DV which lead to the big fight when Lou was HC. Then after a SC win in DV QB jerk Steve Tanneyhill defaced the paw at midfield.

But up until the 90’s we use to could enjoy a friendly rivalry. Unfortunately, the verbal and physical abuse from the Coot fans has made it much easier to taunt my coot friends and family by marriage. I say about the mid to late 90’s is when I found I could not stand coots and wanted 45-0 scores every year. It progressed over time but the bad luck and butt whippings they now receive are are well deserved. And I delight in everyone of them especially if we had anything to do with it. I have always found joy in coot failures but now it’s like a joyful passion For Example when an App State comes to WB and beats the coots in front of 30 to 40 thousand unhappy fans.

I just am saddened by the fact that Ron aka 71PR cannot add to this thread. I hope Dabo keeps the gas all the way to the floor for 4 quarters running up 71 points or more in memory on RW (71PR).

.....Charleston. My grandparents lived in Columbia and I had 4 or 5 cousins who lived their whole lives in Columbia. After graduating from Clemson I lived in Greenville for awhile. I've lived most of my life in Charlotte and have spent a lot of time in Rock Hill.

So I've been around Gamecock fans my whole life. And I have cousins and friends who attended USC and have seemingly turned out alright, even if football has been fairly hard for them. Mike and I are close and though he lives in Tucson Az right now he sent me a nice poking email after everyone of their five straight wins.

I said all that to say I don't "HATE SC". Oh, I don't want the chickens to ever win anything of consequence and I thoroughly enjoy our wins over them and relish just a bit all their troubles. 0-21 was delightful. But hate is a strong word and it seems ill placed when talking about a college rivalry. I must have been lucky not to have been around too many Gamecocks who were nasty enough to hate. Mostly the ones that ride you when they win are sort of stupid since both of us know the history and what to expect next.

A few games back I went into a Bojangles in Gaffney wearing my colors on game day and headed for Clemson. I was there to grab coffee and biscuits. As I waited in line an older women wearing a burgundy dress looked at me for awhile and said, sort of softly, "You could pull for the Gamecocks too." It was pitiful and I could tell she's been troubled by her losing Gamecocks for years.

It's pretty hard to hate the down and outers isn't it?

Go Tigers!!
