Report Card: No. 18 South Carolina 29, Clemson 7 | Spur of the Moment
This about sums it up.

Add this to the list of notches in our belt this season.

The Gamecocks won three games in November for the first time since 1984. The Gamecocks swept the murderous "Orange Crush" stretch (Tennessee, Florida and Clemson) for the first time ever. Spurrier got his third win over Clemson (more than the last six coaches ever got) and improved to 44 wins at USC, which is in third place on the career chart and only one win behind Jim Carlen.

Letter to the editor: SEC Championship ticket lottery equally unfair to Auburn students | The Daily Gamecock
Hey, it's tough to get tickets everywhere. At least we won't have to deal with those ungrateful bastards selling their student tickets for a profit. USC students have to pick up their tickets in Atlanta with voucher in hand.
