I grew up in Chareston county so I was a big Citadel fan—of course we lost a lot but the occassional win against VMI always saved the season.
Then back in 1978 I moved upstate—smack dab on the border between Clemson and Carolina country.
I like to root for the local team so I had to choose between garnet and orange.
It was hard at first but it seemed that every Clemson fan I ran into was such an obnoxious sob I had to go with the Gamecocks.
I’ve been paying for it ever since :(
But we have Spurrier so there’s still hope.
Unlike our last coach Lou Holtz,he ain’t near burned out.
That was you?
Thanks!
Seriously, I had a great experience in Charleston.
I won't say I was raised in a strict household with my Dad as a Colonel, but my faculty advisor at The Cid said I was the only person he had seen come through there that looked upon it as a party school.
I still go back at least once a year. I was a Summerall Guard AND Senior Private, so I am always there for Corps Day when the new Guard get their rifles. Some things are just important.
