Gamecock Here

I went to my first Carolina/Clemson game @Clemson today and I just want to say thank you to all the Clemson fans I met today! Yall were nothing but class and to be honest I was expecting it to be bad. I had a great experience and cant wait to come back in two years. Nobody was rude/ignorant and I was pleasantly surprised. Good game and thanks again!!!! Go #####!!!!!!!

It's the fair weather fringe fans in the area who are so

rude. If SC/Clemson is doing well, they are SC/Clemson fans. The same goes for UGA, GTech, Bama, FSU, Auburn, VTech, and basically any and all schools in the ACC and SEC. Whoever they can make fun of the most people with is the team they chose to pull for at that particular time. You know, they have shirts from every SEC and ACC team and change their alliance not only from year to year, but from sports season to sports season. Expect them to pull out blue now that basketball season is upon us, whether its UK, Carolina, or Duke.

Is how someone can pull for so many different teams from sports season to season. So many people say I pull for clemson/scar in football and UNC or 'tuckey for bball.

...we can't say the same when we visit Billy Brice. It's actually notorious for that.
What's up with that anyway?

I honestly don't know what to tell yall about that. I guarantee you I am not apart of that crowd. I really don't know what to say. Wish yall had the experience visiting the Brice as I did visiting Death Valley. I will definitely be coming back in two years.

I have been a Gamecock fan since I was about 8 (I am 20 now) but I have to tell you. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip up there. The atmosphere was great, the fans were great, yalls campus is beautiful. Yalls traditions are very cool. I admittedly got goosebumps when the crowd erupted when yall ran down the hill. (first time I TRULY experienced that in person) I like all the songs yall play during the game as well. I wish Carolina would do that. That song we too deep yall play is freacking cool. Overall I give my experience an A++. I count tell you the countless number of Clemson fans coming up to me after the game to say good game and hope I enjoyed myself and have a safe trip home. I loved it. I cant flip though lol. Gamecock through and through. But all of this made the loss hurt a little less. I wasnt even that upset. I thought I was going to be really ticked off. Thanks again!!!

I was surprised because I have never been to Death Valley for this rivalry. So I didn't know what to expect. That is all.

Classless chicken fans in Lot 2 postgame
Nov 29, 2014, 10:15 PM
|

Classlees dirtpeckers in lot 2 after the game.
Grown men in chicken gear pissing in public, cussing at old women, and drunk to the point they didn't know where they were. Not surprised- seems like the chickens that I have always encountered in Death Valley were toothless rednecks.

Thanks for your post. Glad to hear your first visit was a good one. I have long time Gamecocks that are friends of mine and we are all respectful towards each other (most of the time!), so I can attest that "good" fans do exist!
I agree with some other comments about the experience in Columbia, but no need for you to apologize. It is what it is.

I am very glad to hear you had a great experience today in Clemson! I think most of the fans who love their schools really want to be good fans and show their pride in their schools. Thanks for sharing!!

Clemson games tend to be more family oriented
Nov 29, 2014, 10:30 PM
|
|
Most people have to drive a while to get to the game, so they take their kids.
USC is more of a party type crowd and a lot of locals with no real connection to the university. Just my opinion.

Now that you mention that I am going to have to agree with you. Didn't even think about that. But yeah your right. Especially when you have 5 points and the vista all within close proximity to the stadium/tailgating areas. The only thing I didn't like about going to the game was the ride in to Clemson. We were in traffic for 2 hours and were only like 10 miles outside of the stadium.

trees. And yes, it is family oriented. That means less vulgarity and taunting among the fans.

Of the away games for Clemson I have traveled to, only Georgia has been worse than South Carolina. Not sure what the problem is. We always welcome visiting fans in Clemson. Auburn, VT, GT, and FSU fans were awesome. NCST fans are borderline.
