OFFICIAL PALMETTO BOWL THREAD: CLEMSON at South Carolina

CUTrevor 2025-11-28 23:30:11

The Tigers are already bowl eligible for the 27th straight year (3rd longest active streak), and the Gamecocks will be home for Christmas, but none of that matters today! One of these fan bases will feel good for the next 9 months, and the other will feel lousy because it's all about this game. It was 17 years ago to the day that Dabo beat Spurrier and the Gamecocks for the first time as the Tigers' interim head coach! If he wins today, he will tie Joe Paterno for 4th-most wins in his first 20 seasons.

I'll have live coverage from Columbia right here!

CUTrevor 2025-11-29 10:35:31

Chilly but beautiful sunny day here in Cola! Temps in the high 30's right now but should be low 50's during the game.

CUTrevor 2025-11-29 10:35:58

The Walk of Champions! Always a crowd pleaser here in Cola. Lol I'll have video posted shortly!

CUTrevor 2025-11-29 11:03:00

CUTrevor 2025-11-29 11:06:52

CUTrevor 2025-11-29 11:27:57

Good grief Randall was open in the endzone for a TD, but Cade underthrew it, and the DB picked it off. Gamecocks take over at their 20. Overthrow and then an underthrow. Both should have been TD's!
