South Carolina's "fanbase" is comprised mainly of bandwagon fans that have magically appeared out of nowhere the past couple years. This state didn't care about Gamecock football until about 4 years ago.
Yet they still have a bigger fanbase than Clemson.

Great job posting a map that essentially says Texas A&M is completely irrelevant.

They should, they have an enrollment about 8 times that of Clemson. Still hasn't helped them win anything significant in 120 years of football. You sound like a closet Cock fan.

That's a map of Facebook "Like's". Facebook is a breeding ground for bandwagon fans. Thanks for proving my point.

You dont make a rash decision based off a few years success. When watkins & Boyd leave campus they will again be 8 win team in ACC.

Um...no. I would say that even though SC has a larger enrollment the football fanbase for both schools is about even. If you lived here you would see it yourself. I would also be willing to say about 1 in every 3 families is a "mixed" crowd.

I say its pretty impressive that in a state of about 4 million two schools can pack the house the way CU and USC do every home game.

Yeah that is a pretty small state. Like just a Houston by itself.

Your words read like a closet cock sucker. Makes y'all even I guess huh?

In the meantime, why are you here amongst the grown men on the big boys board? Oh, wait, let me guess. We're going to have to keep reading this shite from y'all until late November when the Gamecocks bend y'all over and go in dry ... correct?

As an outsider looking in, Clemson 100% belongs in the SEC.

People, you need to read up on your history. Both Clemson and USCe were pissed off about the North Carolina schools controlling the ACC when both of those schools were members. South Carolina and Clemson both decided to leave, but when the time came to leave USCe bolted and Clemson decided to stay in the ACC. This is just like FSU being chicken poo to join the SEC. Carolina, as a result of leaving the ACC was independent for years before they joined the SEC. I think that both USCe and FSU were In the Metro Conference with Tulane before they were invited to the big conferences. If Bowden wasn't so scared of Auburn and Bama, FSU would be in the SEC and USCe would probably be in some kind of fly by night conference. USCeneeds to thank chicken shite Bowden for USCe being in the SEC. The ACC has to travel all the way from Tally to New York and Boston. I hope they love the ACC's expansion because other than Missou. the SEC is still the southern pride of college football.

It's already been proven to be 60-40 USC-CU. Clemson's enrollment has already been smaller forever, and in recent years they make bringing in out-of-state students a priority in order to rig their ranking in the US World News rankings for US universities (among other things). If anything, the fanbase for both SC schools is turning more Garnet & Black as we speak....
