Dabo Swinney has never shied away from the fact that he wants the annual rivalry game between Clemson and South Carolina to be played on Saturday. At least when the game is played in the Upstate.
The game has been played on the Saturday either before or after Thanksgiving since the 1960s, with it being the Saturday after for many years now.
However, during Clemson’s lawsuit against the ACC, it was revealed that the school had been asked to move the 2024 rivalry game to Black Friday, with Clemson having no interest in doing so. This year’s matchup, set to be played in Columbia, is set to be played on November 29, the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
