Talk:Clemson–South Carolina rivalry

message: Is there any issues or animosities with this team and their identity? I heard SECfootballTube (gamecock fan) saying that the Columbia that Missouri plays in is the “fake Columbia”. Fans call South Carolina “USC”, but legally thats USC Trojans. Lastly, Sc has “Carolina” on their uniforms which espn uses to refer to the Tar Heels. I also See that Clemson coach said all this on live tv. Should that be something to write about? Yes I know there are numerous tigers, but only one Clemson and one auburn one Mizzou etc. Or is this even something that y’all talk about, given how lopsided this rivalry is?

replies: text: It's definitely a lop-sided "rivalry" and really kind of laughable. SC isn't even in the same universe as Clemson anymore. I mean, it is kind of cute how they try to spin words to make it seem like we've had a close rivalry (they used to even make up a stat on here about margin of victory). However, the stuff you mentioned isn't really germane to this Wikipedia page.--LesPhilky (talk) 15:55, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: okay cool no worries. Just caught me by surprise hearing the real Columbia. I mean it’s cool lol. There are plenty of Columbias. but hearing them say they are the real usc and real Carolina made me laugh. Literally The nation knows USC as SoCal and UNC as Carolina. Secondly i thought bama was Clemson’s biggest rival. I also didn’t even know the cocks were considered “rivals”. But they aren’t a football school. More of a baseball school. So I guess it’s A holistic rivalry? Either way it sucks the cocks have to play a powerhouse every year! So credit there for not quitting. TheREALcolumbia (talk) 18:39, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Columbia, SC was founded in 1786. Columbia, MO was founded in 1821. I’ll leave it to historians to give an expert opinion, but I know which one sounds like the REAL Columbia to me. And as far as the rivalry that’s the subject of this article, don’t think I’d call 5-5 all that lop-sided, that’s the record over the last decade, not exactly ancient history. But speaking of history, you got me curious with your “thought Bama was clemson’s biggest rival” comment, so I decided to look into that history. Bama owns a 14-5 record all-time versus Clem’s Son, I don’t think playing each other 19 times in over a century of football really qualifies as a rivalry, especially when the record is so lop-sided. I would bet that Bama fans would find the assertion really kind of laughable, as the only Tigers they recognize as rivals are the ones in Auburn.  98.24.37.202 (talk) 06:55, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: lol mostly good points. Columbia Sc was there first so that makes you the rightful owners to the REAL Columbia. I’m just poking fun with my name, we won so I’m happy. And yeah bama is a quality franchise, can’t argue that. It’s certainly a modern rivalry though. Just like warriors and cavs  However, you saying 50/50 wins isn’t accurate. Looking at this page, Clemson is clearly over 50 percent. You can’t pick and choose what years to use for stats to make your team sound better. But no worries, mizzou hasn’t been all that great either. We also have sec fans wondering what we’re doing in the conference. So I feel you. But y’all are good at baseball, so that is something good! But anyways my point was the self identification of Columbia usc and Carolina and Dabo calling them out for it and it being something to talk about in article. Was the only interesting thing I’ve really found in this rivalry. It’s certainly not a auburn Alabama or Carolina duke, like the page suggests.im sure y’all hate each other but  Clemson is just too good to make it a national interest. .

text: Haha, all that trash talk on a page that’s supposed to be academic. It is one of the best rivalries in College Football. Alabama Auburn can get one sided too. And you guys seemed to forget that Carolina had a five game win streak before Clemson’s now defeated seven game streak. BigCheddah (talk) 17:28, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
