This year is the 55th anniversary of the greatest prank in college football history.

Florida copied it four years later when we went down there for a game.

Pretty unoriginal on their part.

Spurrier was embarrassed, after telling about the Florida prank on us, to learn that they copied it from us.

Because of the game not the prank.

Just goes to show, USC's brand of football has been killing its fans for more than a half-century.

To believe in the life of love,

To walk in the way of honor,

To serve in the light of truth,

This is the life, the way, and light of Sigma Nu,

This is the creed of our Fraternity.

Can you imagine the uproar in today's pussified colleges if someone pulled that prank next week?

At least we have fans. Too bad only about 10k Commodore fans saw your team's biggest home win of the season last night.

So if I am reading this right some Cock Brothers played dress up, spent 3 weeks learning a choreographed ghey dance which they performed in front of 40,000 people. They thought the prank was on Clemson? Cock fans are proud of this, makes a lot of sense. Shining moment of South Carolina football.

It was a joke to us. The Clemson rednecks were the one's with no humor and started a melee over it. Times haven't changed, as the folks in the upstate have absolutely no sense of humor and are the most hypersensitive fan base in America.

Clemson is a national research university that draws people students all over the state and country, including from Columbia.

don't understand why you talk about it as though it is a community college.

Clemson in 1961 was an ag school and military college. Did they even have female students at that time?

Edit: Clemson became coed just 6 years before this incident.

We are what we are. Hard to troll a fanbase that fully acknowledges this. We're very zen. And rich, powerful, smart, respected, virile, and prone to dating supermodels, but mostly zen.

This is very true, going to a Carolina Clemson game would not feel right unless I saw at least 2 good fights. I actually miss Spurlids shite talking, he was one of the best at it. Muschamp just yells with a red face.

This should blow your mind: pretty much every major university does lots of research and draws in students from all over the country. Clemson isn't special in that regard.

Muschamp has been calmer than usual this year. I think he realized the level of suck we'd have this year given the HBC's laziness his last 3 years.
