Two things:

They beg to be called USC. Why would you want to be called USC?

Also, South Carolina is where good coaches go to die. They are the Raiders of college coaching failures.

Clemson is more SEC than them.

Look it up.

Seeing as I live in the Palmetto state (an okay place if it had some decent football), and seeing as I listen to sports radio not infrequently, I have been subjected to more than one jackass calling in and talking shit about us. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t take this game for granted. But we Ole Miss fans have the good grace to be worried about this game. All I hear from every fucking South Carolina fan up here is how we are overrated, haven’t performed as well as we should have in our first two games, and how awesome their offense is now. I have news for you South Carolina, we aren’t afraid of you, we are afraid of us. We know how much we can shoot ourselves in the foot. Like fumbling on the one yard line when we have a chance to win. And another thing, your offense isn’t real. Its just not. It struggled against NC State and Florida Atlantic. Okay, great, you scored points against Georgia (which at this point seems like something even State could do). We aren’t Georgia. We are ranked 4th in the nation, and we are the only ones who have the right to question how much we deserve that ranking (okay, well maybe a few other people, you know like the media, do too, but certainly not you fuckasses). Shit they have pissed me off.

I am not sure that any of these rambling recitations of rank immodesty even warrants a response from me. But, so it begins:

1) USC is a public school; Southern Cal is private. Only public schools get to use initials and private colleges may use abbreviated names, thus USC represents South Carolina and Southern Cal represents. We don’t give a shit about Southern Cal and their commonly used monikers because nobody on this planet is a die-hard Southern Cal fan (unless you are Will Ferrell and need the exposure). Do they even have a student body that attends games? No, they are filming it. And, why do you use Ole Miss to represent your school instead of UM? Because there is a University of Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Memphis, etc.
2) North Carolina broke away from the Province of Carolina in the 1700s, then a decade later the King sold part of Carolina as Georgia. As the sole survivors of the Carolina colony, South Carolina maintains exclusive right to use the word "Carolina" in reference to their state.
3) To complete this history lesson, the University of South Carolina uses the nickname "Gamecocks" in tribute to the American Revolution war hero Thomas Sumter (you may remember a recent movie called "the Patriot," starring Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger, that portrayed the legacy of Sumter’). The defining moment and person of US History, and someone worthy of honor and remembrance. On the other hand, the University of Mississippi at Oxford, ever trapped in a fantasy land of yesteryear, chooses to honor Colonel Reb in remembrance of a lost war and a disgraceful moment in US history. Awesome.
4) Just kidding. More history is in order for you schmucks. USC and Ole Piss were originally members of the great Southern Conference. Then, sometime in the 50s or 60s the conference broke up and all schools west of the Appalachians formed the SEC, and all the schools to the east formed the ACC (USC included). Then, during the 70s Frank McGuire called out the Tar Heels and Wolfpack for recruiting violations and illegally using politics to further their corrupt basketball programs. But no one else stood behind ole Frank, so USC pulled out of the ACC (probably not the wisest move ever, but at least we were not in league with a bunch of cheaters), for the Metro Conference in all sports expect football (like Notre Dame and the Big East). Alas, in 1992 we joined the ranks of the SEC.
5) USC went to its first bowl game in the 40s or 50s. Look up your facts, retar
6) Seriously, the top five thing you dislike about the State of South Carolina is some 17 year old high school beauty queen’s response to a question from AC Slater? I will give you Mark Sanford or Joe Wilson, but the beauty queen who never even attended the University? C’mon. I think losing to a non-ranked team at home in last year’s matchup is enough reason to get fired up for this week’s game.
7) You got us on tailgating, we won’t even deny that one. But, have you ever tried Bojangles’ Cajun chicken biscuit?
8) Showing up ever week despite your team’s losses or successes is called loyalty. Showing up only because of recent successes and 500 sportswriters gave you a high preseason ranking doesn’t make you better fans, it just makes you seem like a fair-weather, wanna-be, poser.
9) True- Clemson is our rival, but they have a national championship in the last 30 years. How many do the Miss and Miss St have combined? Zero- that’s why its called the Egg Bowl.
10) USC fans like going to football games too, but at least we don’t have to look like a J Crew model in order to do it.

Hotty Toddy, your football team is shoddy. You smell like crawfish and you can’t beat nobody!

come back and join the fun? I love ill-equipped arguments with outlandishly absurd points.

He joins here one minute, and the next he is spewing some rickety vitriol about Ole Piss. And what’s worse, his only affiliation is with the RCR. What a COCK! Hey, COCK, maybe if you participated in your school’s SBNation blog, we would believe how fierce a fan of COCK you say you are. It is clear from this lack of affiliation that you are not half the COCK you say you are. Or perhaps you have created this new identity to protect yourself while spewing on our blog—in which case, you are just a scaredy-COCK.
