Well it is. People put too much weight in football. What because Clemson has a healthy lead over us in the football series they must have more fans?
Ask any SC native or any non-SC or Clemson fan that lives in this state. Columbia (obviously) and Charleston, and everywhere in between is far and away dominated by Gamecocks.
It's the state school, its the bigger school, its in the state capital (the largest city in the state), not tucked away deep into the northern corner of SC, its a school that is business / arts & science based rather than agriculture and engineering (appeals to a broader scope of students) etc. etc.

The data simply doesn't back up your assertion.
Thousands and thousands of fans buy Clemson tickets. Thousands and thousands buy Clemson gear. But to say that you dominate the entire state just doesn't hold water. You have about the same football ticket revenue. And you're separated by a mere 8 spots in the sales of licensed collegiate merchandise.
