It is hard to believe, but Saturday’s Clemson-South Carolina game will be the 15th I covered. Forgive me if I don’t call it the Palmetto Bowl, that’s not what we called it when I was growing up.
I was born and raised in South Carolina and growing up you either called the game Clemson-Carolina or Carolina-Clemson, depending on your allegiance. I’m not sure when the Palmetto Bowl stuff started, but I have never really called it that and I probably never will.
However, this week is always special to me. I grew up watching and attending this game.
