It’s that time of year again: late November… that time we set aside each year for counting our many blessings, and wishing utter disaster and despair upon our instate college football rival, Clemson (or Carolina, depending on which way your bread is buttered).
This year -- as a Carolina fan -- I am especially thankful that we only have to play Clemson next week, instead of facing the likes of the Florida Gators again, after they were so inhospitable as to hang half-a-hundred on us last week.
During this time of year, one of the favorite pastimes in the Pimento State becomes the telling of Carolina and Clemson jokes. We love ‘em.
I actually consider myself somewhat of an expert in the art of telling Clemson jokes, since I once published a special newspaper – Gamecock Fever – which was pretty-much dedicated to printing good-natured Clemson jokes. To be fair, we also printed an occasional Carolina joke – which all too often was the score of the previous week’s game… sorta like this week!
Needless to say, we collected a lot of Clemson jokes – and originated a good many, too – during the 15 years we published Gamecock Fever (except for one year when we forgot).
I figure it’s time to dust off some of those jokes this week because, frankly, we USC fans would like to quickly change the subject from the drubbing we took in The Swamp last Saturday.
Thank goodness for Clempson jokes!

If this collection of jokes seem a little one-sided… that’s because it is! All Clempson and no Carolina.
But here’s the good news: They’ll never know it, unless somebody reads it to ‘em!!!
However, if you ARE a Clempson fan, and you DO find somebody to read this to you, we’ll try to be fair about it. You can send your Carolina jokes to our website, and we’ll post’em for the world to see. Just to be fair. (If, of course, you can find somebody else to WRITE them for you.)
Send them to me via electric email: RodShealy@aol.com.
Or, for the Internet savvy, just post’em to my internet blog: www.doingthefirst.blogspot.com
Go Cocks! (We’re thankful for Clempson!)

I miss Gamecock Fever!
I miss Gamecock Fever!
I can appreciate some of these, even as a Clemson fan. Pretty creative - you must have had somebody else write them for you
;-)
Did you hear that it has been reported that South Carolina head football coach Steve Spurrier will only be dressing thirty players for the Clemson game. The rest of the players will have to get dressed by themselves.
Not bad... kinda sad you can't spell CLEMSON. Must have gone to Carolina.
Deb... you're missing out on the classic motif of making fun of "Clempsun" for being redneck! HAVE to have the redneck spelling!
