Following South Carolina’s fifth straight win over Clemson back in 2013, it became a common practice on social media for Gamecock fans to throw their hands up with all five fingers, representing their Gamecocks dominance over the Tigers during that stretch.
Some South Carolina fans even got gutsy enough to do it in a picture with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, unbeknownst to him. A lot of them would even use their kids to drop what came known as “the five-bomb” in a picture with Swinney.
As funny and as cute as Gamecock fans thought it was, it got under the skin of Clemson players.
