Ryan McGee ESPN Senior Writer
Interesting dynamic in Palmetto State these days. When I covered Coastal Carolina in College World Series both Clemson & South Carolina fans said they were rooting for Chanticleers. When I covered Clemson in CFP title game, a more-than-expected number of South Carolina fans admitted they'd pull for the Tigers over Bama. But after four days of asking every Clemson fan I see if they'll support the Gamecocks in the Final Four it's been a nearly unanimous "Hell no."
