Fierce rivalries and passionate fan bases make college football unique.
There are plenty of great rivalries across the nation from the Iron Bowl to the Egg Bowl, the Civil War to the World Largest Cocktail Party. But Clemson-Carolina is too often overlooked despite the passion and hatred that defines the in-state feud.
ESPN’s college football writers sat down and rated the best traditions, pageantry and rivalries in the sport this week and a Palmetto State native stood up for Clemson-Carolina.
“Growing up in the state of South Carolina in the dark ages, back when radio was the way we followed college football, the Clemson-South Carolina rivalry was played year-round,” Chris Low said in the discussion.
