i wouldnt mind playing them once in WB once in Charlotte and once in chapel hill and just rotate every year... i think its a game/rivialry that we should keep playing

[Luke Skycocker]

No. Quit playing those asshats.

[brat]

Hell, no. No time, no where, no how.

No benefit to USC. If we win, we are suppose to win because we are in the SEC. If UNC wins, they become even more arrogant, if that is possible.

Do not give up a Home Game. Do not play ANY ACC team, do not schedule one. Any sport.

They have never done one thing to help us, so we should not give them the time of day and never talk to any of them.

[Mt. Lattimore]

People want to be associated with the SEC in any form or fashion.

[Blue&Cocky]

Bad idea. If we agree, they'd pull if there's supposed to be a return game at Williams-Brice. It's a miracle that they're even coming to Cola this year.

[ccured]

I don't understand forcing rivalries. We have played them 11 times in 40 years. And the record is 6-5 us in those 11. Forget them.

So you want to cancel the games with Clemson?

Looks like they're sure as hell trying not to.

SOS wanted to do this years ago before we singed the deal with ECU. UNC was the hold-up. I doubt this happens.

[Cock Kool-Aid]

I really don't care about the politics of all of this... at its core, football is a game that is meant to be about matchups that excite the fans and that are watched and enjoyed. Playing UNC every year would be a natural rivalry and an exciting game for the fans IMO. I enjoy playing them.

im not old enough to remember us leaving the acc and all the bad feelings that came with it but i feel like alot of people have a "they hurt my feelings so i'm going to take my ball and go home" attitude when it comes to UNC. I think if not every year every other year we should play some combo of NC State or UNC to me it just seems natural. To me its a better game than UCF or Navy's of the world that weve have the last couple years. We want to compare oursevles to Bama they have played a big time opponent the last coupld years with michigan and Va tech and i think playing Va tech again this year. Why do we not want to make a big game out of the border with NC ?

Yes. That would kill them. No better revenge than to completely ignore them. Their purpose in life is to hate us. Take that away and they have nothing.

As for those not alive or too young to remember our days in the ACC, if you were, you would get it and never question the level of anger that existed and still exists.

I totally get and agree with you about the ACC and the Tobacco Road folks. I wasn't born then, but I've read the history. Can we wait awhile before canceling the Clemson series? It is just getting good.

Someone want to summarize what the anger between us and the ACC is? Growing up as a post-ACC Gamecock, I view it fondly - because we are in the SEC which is a blessing.

I remember those ACC days very well (I still have the Charleston newspaper of us winning the ACC Basketball Tourney title in 1971).

I also remember Clemson agreeing to leave the ACC with us and then backing out at the last minute (if memory serves me correctly).

I kind of agree with what you’re saying, but I do like me some Duke basketball, especially when they beat the Heels. I’d be OK dropping Clemson permanently (in all sports), but I wouldn’t mind keeping other founding ACC members for a while longer – that is, until the ACC totally disbands!

[FanofCarolina1]

A South Carolina spokesman said there was nothing to report on possible future games for the Gamecocks in Charlotte

Good. Why even cater to those guys. Make them get their butts in The Brice and take that a$$ whipping like a man.

There is a lot on the 'net. Long story short, the Tobacco Road/NC based schools rule the ACC. We left due to their influence in 1971. We were actually a founding member. Before we joined the SEC in 1991, we tried to rejoin the ACC. There were some behind the scenes shenanigans. Clemson was supposed to get us back in the ACC. They backstabbed us, shockingly. We joined the SEC, and they will never get in the SEC due to said backstabbing. There is more, but those are the cliff notes.

To hell with UNC, play State
