I've heard Clemson is a clusterfrick to get out of. If the game isn't over until 3:30, you're gonna have to hightail it to get to Columbia. May need to leave the Clemson game about the 3rd quarter.

This is exactly right. Clemson's post-game traffic is worse than Athens. It's a small town with basically one road to the interstate. Plus, if you get to Columbia after the 6:00 p.m. kickoff, you will have to park 1-2 miles from the stadium.

Great if you can do it though. Clemson is a great atmosphere -- and they're used to those noon games since they rarely play at night. Death Valley should be rocking with an SEC team in town. Way better than the usual Duke, Maryland, Wake Forest matchup.

The WB should be a great atmosphere as well. First home game of the season. Interesting and dangerous opponent. Probably will have a tribute to the military with a halftime fly over (or not, since the flyovers are usually Air Force F16's -- maybe we can get some F18's from Beaufort NAS).
