Though second-ranked Clemson has won the last four meetings against rival South Carolina, don’t think it has forgotten all that went on during its five-game losing streak to the Gamecocks between 2009-’13.
The Tigers were embarrassed several times in the losing streak. They turned the ball over 15 times to Carolina’s three, and Gamecock fans made them very aware of the losing streak by five-bombing pictures with Dabo Swinney every time they got the chance.
“I am feeling lugubrious today,” Swinney joked earlier this week. “I’m still feeling lugubrious. Thanks for asking.”
In case you are wondering, lugubrious means looking or sounding sad or dismal.
