Spurrier always hated it at the end of the year and tried to get it moved.


He carried that over for the first few years here too. He was surprised at how much SC-Clemson fans cared about the game relative to the conference schedule.

But I'd much rather have it at the end of the year.

Hell, I had an issue with them moving the UGA game from the 2nd week of the year to October that one time.

Before the latest round of expansion I used to know our schedule like the back of my hand, who was home and away for our permanent opponents and which West team was scheduled to rotate on and off. Now the latter part seems to be random as hell.


Fun fact - SC and Clemson used to play on Big Thursday every year instead of on Saturdays:

You have to wonder why he was so surprised that it was important to SC and Clemson fans. Didn't he have a similar type of rivalry game at UF vs FSU every year?
