I love in SC also and this is true. I never understand why someone, who never stepped foot on a college campus for a class, will be so supportive of a team they will fight you for their team. I see this with Clemson( went to my first game in 69, Dad taught at Clemson) South Carolina and Georgia. Many of them has never even been to a game but will fight you at a drop of their hat
I grew up in a college town, and always assumed that it was just students, alumni, and university employees who got all excited about the local football team. Then I moved to a different part of the state, and discovered that there are entire towns full of people who had never set foot on campus, but supported the football team with nearly religious fervor. It's like people are joining the cult without ever even being recruited or attending a cult meeting.
