After a thrilling national championship victory, Clemson’s flag is flying atop the SC State House building today. Someone at the University of South Carolina, likely a communications or public relations staffer, thought it would be appropriate for the school’s official Twitter account to give a “tip of the hat” to the Tigers with a photo of the flag.

While a few replies recognized the tweet as classy, the majority of Gamecocks fans who replied were not pleased, to say the least.
