It's on the internet, so it's true!!!
All kidding aside, this is really cool and must come with a healthy payday. I've been to Columbia SC a couple of times....I'd urge everyone to saddle up and head to the game.

If this is indeed legit, then we're planning on being very good in 2024 haha. Currently the schedule has us hosting VT and ECU. Maybe another away G5 or home FCS and that schedule is complete!
I work with a couple of people that went to USC, so this'll be interesting watercooler talk.

Pretty stoked about this. I have family that own a restaurant on campus at USC. Will be great to see them and cheer on the Monarchs on the same day. Columbia is a fun gameday environment and any who can should make the trip.

Sounds like they need to host an ODU pregame! :) Im guessing this is not a home and home, so wondering what the payday will be.

They’re paying us $1.5 million. Bruce knocked it out of the park again;

As for hosting an ODU pregame. They’re a college bar on campus owned by USC alums, it would be a tough sell. But I’ll work on it.

Nice scheduling. Good payday, easy travel, great stadium. Hopefully Rahne has us humming by then as that’s a challenging ooc schedule

RE: We’re playing the Gamecocks?!
The company i work for has a regional HQ in Greenville and my Boss is a gamecock as well as few other colleagues of mine. This will be an interesting one and really short drive for my family.
P.S. Midwood Smokehouse is an excellent place for some grub and is a short drive from campus.

Already sent the news to my cousins in Greer [basically Greenville]. Got plenty of time to plan for a family road trip.
They're all huge Gamecock fans. They moved the day of a 90th birthday party for a game. :)

Excited for 2024. Have friends that are tech and USC fans. Would love to make both games, just need to get the wife on board! Plenty of time!

My oldest son went to Clemson. Took him and his younger brother (high school Jr) to freshman orientation. Could not get out of a clothing store without getting one of those shirts.
