Can anyone name a better college baseball series than South Carolina vs Clemson?

(I say series instead of rivalry just so more series can be included

South Carolina vs Clemson is the most heated rivalry in all of college baseball. They have met in Omaha a couple of times, with South Carolina knocking them out in the semifinals both times (2002 and 2010).

Both are perennial powerhouses in baseball and it's a big deal here. Interestingly enough, Clemson actually holds the series lead on South Carolina. It isn't even that close (170-131-2).
South Carolina has recently separated themselves from Clemson by adding some real hardware, but every year I look forward to this great series and try to make it to all 3 games.

What are some other great series in college baseball that have some interesting backgrounds to them? LSU-Arkansas and Ole Miss-MSU both instantly come to mind.

this.

LSU-State

Probably 3-4 years ago, LSU-Ole Miss would have been in the discussion even though it is still a good series.

90s- LSU-Bama

Thanks for your brilliant contribution. The "We only care about one sport" board is right above the Arkansas board. You'll be happier there.


It's gymnastics season for us. We'll worry about men's softball later.

LSU/Mississippi State is always a good one. And LSU always wins the series.

USC-Clemson is always entertaining to watch.

LSU-Arkansas
FSU-Miami
UVA-North Carolina
UGA-Georgia Tech
ASU-Arizona

Those are a few good ones too but obviously none of those are near as rich as the one you guys have with Clemson. Those are always series' I like to catch though.

LSU vs State in the 80s and 90s was the shite. Was some of the best series I've ever been to, Bertman vs Polk was great for College Baseball.

LSU-Ark for sure.

I look forward to that series probably the most every year.

LSU vs Mississippi State is probably my favorite series, always a great match-up.

Auburn-Troy is the best, IMO. You will not find a more intense Tue. night match-up.
The ones you mentioned are a'ight though.

Kentucky vs Loiusville have been wars. Nothing like USC and Clempson.

Yes it was.

But honestly, some of the old Carolina-State series back in the 80s were epic, in both venues, between Polk and June Raines.

Regular season and post season pre-Supers.

I wanna say our hecklers were arrested during one of our old series at The Sarge because Polk accused them of going overboard with some things they said that he took personally. Our hecklers used to do their homework - they were real professionals back in those days before the school took away their privledges of sitting behind the visiting team's dugout. I think we played at y'all's place for the regional the following year when y'all had Rafael and The Natural and our outfielders were pelted with chicken leg bones during warmups and maybe the 8th inning of game three.
