The Annual Clemson/ South Carolina Rivalry

Every year South Carolina is buzzing the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It is the date of the annual rival football game of Clemson vs. Carolina. The winner of the game is given bragging rites for the next year.

Rebecca's teacher is a huge South Carolina fan. We are big Clemson fans. The two of them have jabbed each other all year about which was the best team. Before the Thanksgiving holiday, Mr. Mishoe,made a bet with his accelerated math class. He said that he would wear a Clemson shirt to school on Monday if Clemson won the ballgame. If the Gamecocks won, Rebecca and her Clemson buddies (including me) would have to wear garnet and black to school.

Rebecca could not wait to get to school today to hand over a new Clemson Tiger ORANGE t-shirt for Mr. Mishoe to wear. He took it all in stride and was a good sport. Rebecca thought he was the coolest teacher for doing it.

Maybe next year, Mr. Mishoe......
