CLEMSON — If Clemson goes to Columbia and beats rival South Carolina on Saturday, there will be no planting of a flag on the Gamecocks’ logo at middle field.
Dabo Swinney made that very clear during Sunday’s conference call.
“I hope we get the opportunity to be better,” Clemson’s head coach said. “We talked about that last year. That is definitely something that does not need to happen.”
In each of the last three seasons, the visiting team won the game and in each instance the winner had someone take their flag from the cheerleading squad and planted it on the home logo at midfield.
