Title: Bowl Games

SC Gamecocks and the Clemson Tigers ---INVINCIBLE! I hope the new football coaches do some recruiting in SC. Do we serve grits in our school cafeteria? :lol:

Great for state pride.  But just like Oklahoma getting the bulk of their roster from Texas, they get the bulk of their players from a neighboring state (or two - mainly GA and NC):  Clemson -- 58 out of 118 are South Carolinians; USC -- only 43 of 104 are native to the state.  Doesn't diminish the accomplishment though.  And most programs are like that.

Crap, most D-1 programs have at least a handful of Texans ;)...look at Missouri as an example.
