I've heard it used numerous times, but why do Clemson fans call SC fans Coots, and why do SC fans call Clemson fans Taters?

No idea about the "coot" thing. Some stupid shite they made up while sniffing glue probably.

As far as "taterhead" is concerned, it's multi-layered and ancient in origin.

clemson fans suffer from some personal hygene issues ... that's a fairly well-known fact if you've ever been stuffed into the same stadium with them.

Their ears, in particular, will make you throw-up in your mouth if you ever accidentally look in one. Little taters growing in there.

Then there is their booster club, known as IPTAY. It started some time ago, they are an agricultural college of course, and it is an acronym for "I plant taters all year."
