Nothing screams “2020” quite like the collective gasp across the state Thursday afternoon when it was learned that Clemson won’t play South Carolina in football this season. That’s right, the annual rivalry series against the Gamecocks will have to wait another year. It's just another thing to not like about 2020.
When the teams face off next season (Nov. 27th), it will have been 2,919 days since the Gamecocks have claimed a football victory in the rivalry. If you’re the type that likes to count, that is 7 years, 11 months, and 28 days.
The series is the longest continuous non-conference rivalry in the nation, with the teams playing each year since 1909.
