South Carolina Gamecocks
South Carolina's 18 collegiate sports teams
are known as the Fighting Gamecocks. All compete at the Division
I level of the NCAA, and all but men's soccer compete in the
Southeastern Conference.[17] Men's soccer competes in Conference USA
because the SEC does not sponsor men's soccer. The official school
colors are garnet and black. Although the University's athletic programs
have won only a few national titles, many league championships and
tournament titles have been won over the years, giving fans a taste of
success that keeps them clamoring for more. Tim Brando of CBS Sports has
said, "You won't find any more loyal fans in the country than those who
follow the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Clemson University is Carolina's in-state rival, and the two schools
compete with each other in all but two sports (Clemson does not sponsor
softball and equestrian). In football, the Carolina-Clemson game is the
third longest uninterrupted series in college football, having played
every year since 1909.
The Eastern Division of the SEC may be the most competitive division in
all of college sports, and Carolina has developed rivalries with all the
other members of this division ever since joining it in 1991. However,
Carolina's main rival in the SEC is the University of Georgia due to its
proximity and prior history of competitions.
