I am biased but I also grew up 20 minutes from Clemson, live 30 minutes from Clemson now, and work 10 minutes from Clemson. My family is almost all Clemson fans and most people I am around on a daily basis are Clemson fans. 

For the record, I wouldn’t do this in Columbia either but I know wayyyyyy more Gamecock fans that are Panthers fans compared to Clemson fans. There are also a ton of Gamecocks in Charlotte. At minimum, at least Columbia is more convenient and closer to Charlotte than Clemson. 

I have lived in Columbia before. I never saw a shred of Panthers support even during our good years. I did see an entire sports bar once root for some 3rd string scrub of an ex-Gamecock that was playing for the Browns.

The truth is, there has never at any point been any discernable support in the entirety of South Carolina for the Panthers.

There were points in time that was upsetting but I suppose in hindsight it really hardly mattered.

I live in Georgetown County SC, near the Horry County line. There are so many people from different states on the coast, you are gonna have a tough time with the demographics but people do understand who the home team is.

If they can do anything decent like maybe win back to back years and show they can be somebody, they would pick up fans and become a thing. I think.

I’m assuming you’re referring to Connor Shaw. 

And most of the Gamecock/Panther contingent that I know either were from Charlotte originally or live(d) in Charlotte. Like I said, I wouldn’t do Fan Fest in Columbia either. I agree, majority of SC doesn’t care about the Panthers. The ones that do usually are Steelers or Cowboys fans.

The Panthers have always been a NC team no matter what marketing BS they tried to come up with. SC just never supported the Panthers. 

It's bananas to have it in Clemson. You are so far from the fanbase. Who the fug wants to make that kind of drive? 

But, maybe that's the point?

Why are they having Fan Fest at Clemson? I don’t know a single Clemson fan that gives a crap about the Panthers in the slightest. Most don’t like NFL at all. The few that do are Jaguars “fans” and former Texans “fans” because of Watson and Lawrence. 

Oh ..so you know every Clemson fan's  thoughts  on their favorite NFL in SC... interesting and amazing.

Yeah that's basically Ga, closer to ATL than Charlotte. Good luck getting anyone from the triad/triangle to drive 4-5 hours for one practice, same for Myrtle/Charleston if anyone down there actually follows the team

This works for me in ATL, but like you said, not convenient for the locations you mentioned. It’s funny, Flowery Branch, the falcons training facilities, is only an hour/1.5 from Clemson.

      Another Guard?? Small ball was just a meme right?????   Again can anyone confirm Kon had more than 2 dunks for the season?? I watched more highlights and saw lots of layups. Did see one thunder dunk tho...   Jeff just needs to finish this off-season with a guard package trade for a PF/C. Call Portland, that's a start!

      XL treatment is in the top 5 What The Fuccks for the the huddle. It just happens that the 32nd team and 33rd team GMs knew each other very well. Panthers viewed the 5th year option as being worth a late 6th and a trade was made to make XL a 1st rounder.  He had injuries in OTAs, mini camp and TC. Like others had more injuries in season and just kept playing. Half the season was bad BY and dalton. He still had 500 yds, 5 TDs, and like 45 recs.  Just super weird the treatment. BTW people love to focus on the bad plays, but there was only one WR that caught a TD on the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, can you guess who that was?? By many accounts the Pats wanted XL badly and had to select Polk instead, there's strong rumors that Polk is either going to be cut or traded for a 2078 7th rounder. Panthers could have easily been in this situation if not for the Bills allowing the trade up. It pays to have friends.... I feel XL will force some fans to plates of raccoon as he develops. (please stay healthy)
