Dabo Swinney continues praise for freshman wide receiver Bryant Wesco
Dabo Swinney and the Tigers need a star at wide receiver and they may have gotten just that in freshman wide receiver Bryant Wesco. Wesco was an early enrollee with high expectations as a five-star recruit, and so far, he’s lived up to those expectations. Wesco recorded three catches for 26 yards and a ridiculous touchdown in the Tigers’ Orange and White spring game, looking like a threat on the outside. He’s been so promising that Swinney has taken notice of what Wesco has been doing and what he has shown him as a player. “You get these guys in here as...

“B” is for Big Thursday
“B” is for Big Thursday. For more than six decades the story of the lively football competition between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson Tigers was the story of “Big Thursday,” the culmination of State Fair week. The rivalry started on Thursday, November 12, 1896, at the fairgrounds in Columbia. By the 1910s it had become a “combination picnic, fashion parade, political rally and drinking bout.” Big Thursday’s popularity exploded after World War II. Each school developed Big Thursday traditions, including burning the Tiger at USC the night before the game and the burial of the Gamecock at Clemson on the Tuesday before students traveled to Columbia. By the late 1950s Clemson was pushing for an end-of-season game played on an alternating home schedule. Both schools agreed and 1959 was the last Big Thursday game.
