There’s a Chance Clemson-South Carolina Could Move Rivalry Game
CLEMSON — In football, the Clemson-South Carolina rivalry is played on the last weekend of the regular season, which is usually around or after Thanksgiving. With the exception of a few years, it has been that way almost every year since 1960.
In baseball, Clemson and South Carolina have played a three-game weekend series every year since 2010. One game is played in Clemson, one game is played on South Carolina’s home field, and one game is played at a neutral site somewhere in the state of South Carolina, usually on the last weekend of February and going into March.
However, when it comes to the Clemson-South Carolina basketball game, finding a consistent date to play has been an issue ever since the Gamecocks left the ACC in 1971. When South Carolina joined the SEC in 1992, finding a date to play became even harder.
Through the years, the game has been played mostly in the months of November and December. Since Brad Brownell became Clemson’s head coach back in 2010, the game has been played as early as November 11 and as late as December 22.
On May 7, the ACC reverted back to an 18-game conference schedule, in hopes of getting more non-conference games against Power 4 opponents. Having two less dates to fill in could also allow Clemson and South Carolina to possibly set a later date to play and more of a permanent one. “Maybe. I think we would have to have both leagues give us a bye week off at the right time,” Brownell told The Clemson Insider at last week’s Spring Meetings on Amelia Island in Florida. “It is a possibility, but I do not want to say for sure. Sometimes TV controls a lot of this, probably a lot more than a lot of us realize. We will have to wait and see.”

Shane Beamer offers latest on LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina football
South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer is embracing the new world of revenue sharing in college athletics, which means waiting for his star quarterback to work out a deal with the program before “officially” returning.
On Dec. 13, multiple reports said LaNorris Sellers is “finalizing a deal” to return to the Gamecocks in 2026 instead of forgoing eligibility to enter the 2026 NFL Draft.
“We’ve had great conversations,” Beamer said Dec. 17 on 107.5 the game. “I think there are some details that need to be worked out and things like that. Let’s face it. Nowadays, these guys have agents and whatnot. So, there are a lot of different aspects of every player on our team that’s different than before.”
The 6-foot-3, 240-pound Sellers has been linked to transfer portal rumors, especially after his breakout year in 2024 when the Gamecocks went 9-3. He was offered lucrative deals from other programs but returned for 2025.
“All indications I’ve had from LaNorris are, he wants to be here, and he knows that the job is not finished,” Beamer said. “There’s a lot of excitement about 2026. He and a lot of our other players that are returning feel that same way.”
Beamer made some significant changes after finishing at 4-8 with his worst record yet in the last five years. He fired three offensive coaches, including coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Shula and most recently hired Kendal Briles from TCU to fill his spot.
Briles was confident Sellers would return when asked Dec. 12.
Sellers was sacked 42 times this season, the second-most in the country. He finished with 2,437 passing yards and 13 touchdowns to go with just five rushing touchdowns and 270 rushing yards, a decrease in all four categories from 2024.
“My conversations with LaNorris have been fantastic,” Beamer said. “This isn’t just since the end of the season. This is regularly throughout the season, before the season ended and since the season has ended just in regards to how we get better and how he gets better as a quarterback. He will be the first to tell you, he needs to play better, and we have to coach him better. We have to be better around him, and we all have to be accountable, and he understands that.”
