Noted. I agree wholeheartedly with overhauling the USC BoT. But, as a resident of Goose (Bah Gawd) Creek, SC…I must say that Carolina must start treating Clemson like Georgia treats Georgia Tech. Acknowledge their existence, but consider them an annoyance at best. You’re SEC. Clemson ain’t.

I think maybe you should learn some history. USC was founded in 1801. California became a state in 1850.

Wrong again, college of South Carolina was founded in 1801, California joined in 1848 became a state in 1850, university of southern California founded in 1880, 1901 college of South Carolina becomes university of. This is why you lost the lawsuit

Most give zero fricks. It’s just Internet attention seekers that pay any attention to it and feel the need to gatekeep an acronym

And you're missing the point. Give the finger to the west coast libs and start calling Carolina USC and that other school Southern Cal...


It doesn't make sense. USC is Southern Cal and no amount of wishcasting is going to change that.

It' not about liberals or conservatives, it's about South Carolina just not really being known, by hardly anyone at all, as USC.

I think SoLina is great. Let's start calling them that.

You are wrong again. South Carolina was first referred to as USC as early as 1865.

South Carolina became a university in 1901, why were you idiots calling it usce before it was a university? Also your original statement was “we called it usc before they were a state” California was a state before 1865. How’d you become so stupid? You had to reach to be as dumb as you are today.

U C - 18 1

quote:

The 2010 trademark case between the University of South Carolina and the University of Southern California **** was not over the use of "USC." **** It was over the use of the interlocking "SC" letters as an athletic logo.

Southern California uses an interlocking block "SC" for its athletic teams, while South Carolina uses an interlocking script "SC," which was based on historical designs over a century old. Southern California argued that fans would be confused by a burgundy block SC and a garnet script SC.

The University Archives provided documentation of the historical usage of the interlocking SC at the University of South Carolina, but Southern California won the case because in the 1980s the longstanding usage of "SC" and "South Carolina" to represent this university were dropped in favor of using "USC" (and "The USC"). The judge ruled we had "abandoned the mark."

Carolina can still use the logo, it just can't be trademarked.

Again it was a college until 1901, when it became a university. The “U” in usc stands for university. Why would a college have that moniker before it becomes university.

Call us whatever you want. None of us truly give a shite. In the state of South Carolina, there's USC, and there's Southern Cal.

Back to the topic at hand, USC's athletic department is a horror show. And I don't see much hope for it to get better anytime soon.

Who do you fire first if you’re donati, tanner or Paris? I’d go with Paris first due to the revenue potential of an NCAA tournament basketball program vs college baseball which while it can turn a profit here vs other places its a drop in the bucket compared to BBall. Gotta make that bread to dump into football. Hate it for Lamont because I’ve met him in person and he seems like a stand up guy but we need wins not warm fuzzies. And marinara is a loser with the personality of a hot fart so if it was simply down to who I wanted to fire first it’d be him.

PawPaw is the easiest to fire due to cost, but you're correct- Paris is the bigger liability.

If I can find the money, I'm sacking Paris first. There may not be many other big jobs open this year. Not that SC's a big job currently.
