Georgia might be the most natural rival Clemson has.
Sorry if that hurts South Carolina fans, but it is true. Seventy-three miles separate Clemson’s and Georgia’s campuses.
Clemson plays Georgia at least once every year in every sport except football.
“I wish they played every year. I’d like to see it be the first game,” former Clemson great Homer Jordan said.
When Jordan was quarterbacking the Tigers in the early 1980s, Clemson played Georgia every year. In fact, the two played every season but two from 1962-’87. When the SEC added an extra conference game in 1988, Clemson fell off the Bulldogs’ schedule as a yearly opponent.
