South Carolina Gamecocks Football - Primary Rivalry

Primary Rivalry

  • Clemson – The Carolina-Clemson Rivalry is the largest sporting event in the state of South Carolina. Clemson holds a 65-41-4 lead in the series, which dates back to 1896, but many of the contests have gone down to the wire. From 1896-1959, the Carolina-Clemson game was played in Columbia and referred to as "Big Thursday." Since 1960, the game has alternated between both teams' home stadiums and has become known as the "Palmetto Bowl." The last 6 match-ups between the schools have been nationally televised (3 on ESPN, 3 on ESPN2).

Famous quotes containing the words primary and/or rivalry:

    If a madman were to come into this room with a stick in his hand, no doubt we should pity the state of his mind; but our primary consideration would be to take care of ourselves. We should knock him down first, and pity him afterwards.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    It seems to me that we have to draw the line in sibling rivalry whenever rivalry goes out of bounds into destructive behavior of a physical or verbal kind. The principle needs to be this: Whatever the reasons for your feelings you will have to find civilized solutions.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
