^It's Holtz's own fault for recruiting a bunch of juco thugs.

In other news, we could be looking at the biggest Clemson-Carolina match-up since 1987, when Carolina was #12 and Clemson was #8. This time, Clemson is sitting at #7 and assuming they win at NC State, and #12 Carolina wins over the Citadel there is a possibility that both teams could be in the top 10. This game will almost certainly bring a lot of national attention to our rivalry, and to the state of South Carolina as a whole.

Game time has been set for 7:45 on ESPN.

The game time was a good one.  It was great exposure for the Gamecocks and there's plenty of time to wind down before going to bed.

Over the last couple of days, S.C. college sports have become a story of the past, the present and Dab-0's crystal ball.

The state of South Carolina should be proud.....they have a conference champion.  Congrats to Clemson on winning the ACC championship and on securing a spot in the Orange Bowl.    Great to see!

Fantastic to see them get out of the slump and win like this.   Go Tigers!!!!

I'm glad they snagged the conference title (which I figured they would) after this somewhat rollercoaster of a season. On to the Bowl!

[CorgiMatt]

It was smart and skillful of the Tigers to take advantage of a team that left their defense and discipline at home, or is Clemson's division just that much better than VT's?.  Maybe they just have VT's number.  At any rate, congratulations are in order.  Congratulations on winning the ACC Championship, Tiger fans.

No, Clemson just out played Virginia Tech. I think they just wanted it more. They've come close so many times in the past 10 years, and this time they had the ability  to do it. IMO, both divisions are pretty even in the ACC. There is way more parity there than in the SEC right now.

[CorgiMatt]

No way to tell really.

Anyway the Gamecocks rallied and pulled the rug out from under the Tigers today in Littlejohn Coliseum 58-55 in front of a good crowd, winning their second in a row and extending their lead in the series, with a rusty Bruce Ellington.

Way to go, Cocks!  And Alshon, if I'd had that defender pulling on my jersey all day and trying to rough me up on every play I'd probably have gotten ejected, too.
