My 35th straight Clemson-USuC game tomorrow night.

This king of all Palmetto state sports. Yep. 35 years. (I attended 2 others but they were not in my current streak of games in a row).
So many memories. The rivalry between Ford and old smoking Joe Morrison. The Fire Ant Defense losing 83 and 85 in WB. The last second loss in 1984. The #### tie in 1986. The cold night loss in 1987 and the payback in the Valley in 1988. The beat down in 1989--me sitting in the USuC student section because of a "friend" and loving every minute of it. The late 4th quarter drive to win the 1990 game. Another beat down of the ##### in 1991. Then the home losing and away wining games of 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996. Highlights here was the 93 who wants their coach gone the most game and the 1995 game where Smith and Priester keyed a late win. The 1997 beatdown of the Coots who made fun of Tiger fans by playing bluegrass on the sideline and making fun of it. I love bluegrass and I loved the TD's scored by the Tigers with an interception and punt return. The home 98 win. The 99 zero bar 0-21 Coots game. The cold night excitement of the 2000 catch and win. The last quarter loss in Cooterville in 2001. Then the good win in 2002 carrying West off the field the last time. The epic 2003 63-17 red tailgate Coot escape game, the 2004 gut it out win, the 1st and 35 win in WB in 2005, the why the heck are they taking Reggie out loss in 2006, and that last second fg 2007 win. Dabo's 2008 win over Spurrier and the game that got him hired. Then the years of amnesia-2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. The one-man show of Watson leading the Tigers to a win in the Valley in 2014. The day WB turned orange and the Tigers went to 12-0 in the regular season in 2015. And finally the 56-7 beatdown last year in 2016 in the Valley.
What will tomorrow bring? Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's impressive. I had a streak from 1993-2008. Didn't see another one until 2015 at WB. Great memories.

Tomorrow will be my 16th straight big game...congrats on a great streak!
Couple corrections to your memories though:
2002 was not West’s final year, that was 1998.
2004 was far from a “gut it out win”. I think the score was 29-7 but we absolutely dominated that game, in some ways worse than 63-17 the year before. I think USC ran less than 10 plays...maybe less than 5...on our end of the field. Ultimately that’s what led to the brawl...they were beyond frustrated and emotions erupted.

Man, congrats to those who have not missed 35, 43 +. That is truely amazing. I've only been blessed to have attended one full season and rivalry. It pales in comparison, but location does factor and certain limitations. I salute you all for your faithful Tiger attendance. I would be there if I could. Thrash the Gamecocks, Go Tigers!!
