jtiger1 just posted a photo of all of our 'championship' flags...

It is hard to be a "flagship" if you only have one 50 year old crusty flag compared to the "running out of flagpolls" problem over the west endzone.

There have been a lot of Flagships in history. The latest was the German Battleship Bismark,
It rests at the bottom of the ocean, much like the Gamecoot program that rests on the bottom of the SEC.

Flagship: the finest, largest, or most important one of a group of things

They might have more students, but they sure as heck aren't the finest or most important.

war to throw out the students attending the college, then reopened in 1880. I think you can see why they closed and reopened by reading their version of events and using sane judgement. I do like the "empty state treasury story" to explain their actions.

"State leaders revived the institution in 1866 as the University of South Carolina with ambitious plans for a diverse university that included the first African-Americans to serve on the board of trustees (1868) and the first African-American students (1873).

While politically controversial, this development was an extraordinary opportunity for South Carolinians at a time when opportunities for higher education were rare. The University of South Carolina became the only Southern state university to admit and grant degrees to African-American students during the Reconstruction era.

But with a nearly empty state treasury, the institution failed to reach its former status. Following the end of Reconstruction in 1877, South Carolina's conservative leaders closed the university. They reopened it in 1880 as an all-white agricultural college and during the next 25 years the institution became enmeshed in the upheaval of late 19th century South Carolina politics."
