Earlier today, I was reading through our VTM contributor group messages and Ryan, our resident graphic artist, put out this weekend’s infographic.
The thing that caught my eye was #WreckUSC. I thought to myself, “Does anyone truly call South Carolina USC?” To my surprise, I found that many Gamecocks and east coasters use the acronym USC to describe South Carolina. Wikipedia even describes this in South Carolina’s athletics page that “South Carolina usually calls itself “Carolina,” “USC,” or “SC” in athletics.”
So do Gamecock students hide this fact from the rest of the country?
