Talk:South Carolina Gamecocks

message: No citations are provided for the rivalry portion of the article, and the article seems very biased against clemson, considering "interestingly enough" is somewhat of an incenuation of something not proven by fact. Adding cleanup tag to article. 130.127.78.152 18:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Perhaps to avoid vandalism/bias problems (yeah wishful thinking probably :-P), the rivalry should be placed in its own article and linked to by both athletic program articles.  The Clemson_tigers article has a much smaller amount of information on the rivalry, but completely different information (for instance it notes that this rivalry used to be in-conference).  Actually, maybe I'll just do this... this weekend's a good time for it after all. Krong 19:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Carolina-Clemson Rivalry

message: Maybe we should include a section on the traditions surrounding Carolina sports. A few things that could be included could be Big Thursday, the various chants and cheers, 2001, the history of the fight songs, the tradition of making cookies and pies for the players, the curse of the chicken, the swaying stadium incident, tailgating in the fairgrounds and farmers market, etc. Some of these things are covered in other places but I think it would be nice to have them under one heading. Does anybody else think this is a good idea?
I agree it's a good idea. I still do think that there should be a page for the rivalry, as seeminly every other rivalry has a page for itself, except this one. For being one of the largest (and oldest), it certainly should have something about it. So does anyone second this? Zchris87v 06:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC
I agree, or if not it's own page, the rivalry section here should be expanded to include more modern games. The problem with a traditions section would be finding sources for it. Of course we know our traditions, but they are rarely reported about.
Here you go, the scores of all the games (add in anything past '01, the article was from before the '02 game)...

Clemson leads the series 59-36-4.
Clemson leads 13-7-1 in games played in Clemson.Clemson leads 46-29-3 in games played in Columbia.
And of course adjust the last two stats to account for anything after 2001.  Zchris87v 09:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Main Article: [[Carolina-Clemson Rivalry]]

message: Well my attempt at the rivalry article took a turn for the worst, with the page ending up being protected. But what I was wondering, when I came here to read about the current football season (as many schools will do with "20{XX} {School} {Mascot} football", but I didn't even see a link to last year or this year's teams - much less even a section on it. I'd think over 100 years of football would be enough to write an article about, but I guess not? I did add some information on the rivlary, inlcuding that it was first played in 1896, 4 years after Carolina's first football season (1892 if you do the math).

thread_title: Football

message: I already know the editor "GarnetAndBlack" dislikes unregistered editors (based on past experience) so I'm gonna go ahead and post this here.
Do other editors agree that this reversion is warranted? The whole point of my edit is to clarify why there would be confusion based on the University of South Carolina's usage of "Carolina", "SC", or "USC".

thread_title:  New section 

message: Please discuss edits to Thomas Sumter's nickname and the use of "Carolina" vs. "South Carolina" here before continuing the edit war on the page.  It seems that several users are perilously close to violating WP:3RR, and may already be in violation of at least the spirit of this rule.  I don't have a dog in the fight, but providing citations for the nickname would be the easiest way to resolve.  Billcasey905 (talk) 15:32, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No less than Encyclopedia Britannica refers to Sumter as "the Carolina Gamecock". There are plenty of other sources that also confirm this nickname, but this one should suffice. GarnetAndBlack (talk) 16:41, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Great reference. Not. You've got "Idella Bodie" who "retired as a high school English and Creative Writing teacher from South Aiken High School in 1985 after teaching for 31 years", and I've got one of the most respected references on the planet. Thanks for playing. And surprise, surprise...both Sandlap123 and Gamecockpride123 just happen to be on Wikipedia editing at the same time. Looks like it's time for me to file that sock puppet report. When will you kids learn? GarnetAndBlack (talk) 17:11, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit war 

message: Highly Recommend we put “S Carolina” instead of just Carolina in the section that talks about a rivalry with N Carolina, who is nationally known as plain ole “Carolina”. Super confusing. 75.184.9.123 (talk) 12:58, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
