Better Know Your USC History: The Chicken Curse
Every football season around this time, I hold out hope that the "Chicken Curse" sets in like it does every so often in the annals of South Carolina athletics. If you REALLY want to tick off a Carolina fan and set his blood boiling, mention the curse

Yes - Old Main was re-named Tillman Hall in 1946

the 12 years prior to 1946, Clemson was 9-2-1 vs the coots
the 12 years after changing the name, Clemson was 4-7-1 vs the coots.

Old Main owns the coots.

No...because chickens were around and being eaten during the times that America had slavery. Saying "chicken" might trigger someone.

No, because Tillman was an evil man and his name cannot he spoken.

It might offend someone.

You couldn’t remove that curse with 50 galllons of turpentine.
