Danny Ford might have come to a 3:30 game in Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday, but there’s no way he’s coming to see South Carolina and Clemson play in a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
“There will be all kinds of fussing and fighting,” the former Tigers coach said. “They have too long to think about what’s going to happen at 7:30, and they get mad at each other more.”
Ford, who coached the Tigers from 1978 through 1989 and won the 1981 national championship at Clemson, remembers those days, when he seethed at the sight of garnet and black just because it was garnet and black.
