Let's talk about how much fun it is to beat the Tigers
The Gamecocks are 6-4 against Clemson since Steve Spurrier came to Carolina and despite those four losses it has been a period of unprecedented fun in the rivalry. A huge part of that is obviously the 5-game win streak that Carolina enjoyed over the Tigers. But the relative success of both programs over the past several seasons as well as the personalities of the current head coaches has added extra energy to the rivalry. We can always count on Spurrier to throw a few jabs at the team from the upstate and we can count on Dabo to just say ridiculous things in general.
