Palmetto Bowl troll? South Carolina finds interesting way to promote Clemson game
Of all the players South Carolina could have picked to promote the upcoming rivalry game with Clemson, the Gamecocks chose RB Tavien Feaster, the one-time Clemson player who transferred to the Garnet and Black just before this season began.
The troll job didn’t get past Clemson fans on social media. Meanwhile, South Carolina is trying to snap a five-game losing streak in the series.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was asked about playing against Feaster, the Spartanburg native, who was a starter at running back for the Tigers before Travis Etienne burst on the scene.
“It will be like when we play Alabama,” Swinney said, according to SportsTalkSC. “I always see a lot of friends and we visit before the game. But once the game starts, you’re just playing.”
Feaster has dealt with a groin injury recently and missed the last two games, although he’s expected to play a week from Saturday in Williams-Brice Stadium. He still leads the Gamecocks in rushing with 625 yards and five touchdowns.
Feaster graduated from Clemson and joined the Gamecocks on Aug. 3. At Clemson, he had 1,330 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on 222 carries and 23 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown in 674 snaps over 41 career games (11 starts). He ranked second in Clemson history in career yards per carry (5.99) behind only Etienne at the end of 2018.

From what Ihear….1,000’s of Gamecock fans are running advs. on Craigslist/etc. and are selling their tickets to Clemson fans. If I had a ticket, I’d sell it cut-rate…to do my best to get this NON-HEAD-COACH FIRED. will’s getting rich from being fired…Only in america, right ?
As much as it pains me to do this….I am pulling for Clemson to plaster the ‘Cocks with a biggie loss, like 72/14. For one and only one time=GO CLEMSON TIGERS !
That’s funny. I was actually rooting for South Carolina in 2014 so that Muschamp would get fired. I was concerned that the win over UGA that year would get him another year on his contract so we needed another loss to be sure he was gone.
No need to sell a thing! Dabo will be gunning for 80 points against us and if he gets anywhere above 50, I think Champ is done.
Agreed! Fire the bum already!!
At least its a noon game if it was a night game the drunken Tater fans would really be acting like the rednecks they are. Swinney could try and run up the score but if Muschamp really cared about his job he would turn the boys loose on Goldylocks and put their postseason in jeopardy.
I’ve seen the whole ending Lawrence on some internet boards and they truly want him to pay for sins of the school, so people are brutual.
cola_cock…..A rivalry game is just that a rivalry game. I understand that you guys really, really hate Clemson a lot.
But no player should EVER BE INJURED ON PURPOSE, EVER ! And to injure a really good Quarterback, merely to end their playoff hopes is low-class, in any league. It seems that Clemson fans(even though they are on Mars sometimes) are a more classy group than you are. Have no fears, Clemson will kick your arses big time. To even advocate an injury is totally “bush-league”.
Ask Tajd Boyd what happens when you lose to USC you get your house egged, they don’t do that other players because when they lose their real racist beliefs come out. I remember when we won 5 straight I remember hearing A LOT of Clemson fans wanting Garcia and Shaw taken out completely. So I enjoy any suffering on their part.
It is NEVER ok to wish or even joke about hurting a player. You crossed the line there. Your a loser just like Neverchamp.
I didn’t want to see its something I saw on garnetandblack attack to turn the boys loose. I don’t want anyone hurt even even if they attend a school named after a Klansman. Karma will get those cheaters, because God forbid its okay to for them to put their fingers up USC players backside aka sexual assault, use the n word, and roid up.
I have no use for that blackeye on the Palmetto State and the sooner that school is shut down the better.
This game is going to be ugly pretty fast. The tigers defense is much better than last weeks A&M d that we could only put 6 on the board. I bought my last ticket the Florida game. No more for me until some big changes are made. Tired of paying to see this plane flown in the ground.
It gets even better you have ACC refs on the field too, and we know how they love to give Clemson advantages all the time.
Already complaining about the refs, before the game has even been played. Fascinating.
Pinebarrens…I agree with you. recall seeing a post here that said something like this…”the refs ruined our season”. You South Carolina fans complain about everything, dissing the refs prior to the game ??? Oh yes, throwing half-filled water bottles on the Clemson players too ??? What a class group of fans(NOT HARDLY !) I lived in the state briefly and totally understand the total-hatred that exists between South Carolina and Clemson, but get real. Bear in mind…I am not a Clemson fan, period. I feel like Dabo is an overpaid cheerleader…but act with a little bit of class, during the game. From what I’ve heard, there will be more “Orange-Clad Clemson Fans” in your stadium than Garnet/black-clad fans, since you guys are selling your tickets to Clemson fan.
This is the ONLY TIME that I will ever pull for CLEMSON…but GO CLEMSON TIGERS ! Lay 80 points on the Cocks, so that the $18.8 Million dollar man goes away.
Listen here tater the last time your school of animals came to the Brice the ACC refs threw TWO flags the entire game against ClanU but 9 against USC. Go pound sand its amazing how you forget the ACC refs have protected your sorry behinds since the playoffs started. How many times have refs in conference play saved you. Mark my words your sorry excuse for refs are gonna having home grown cooking. We don’t forget karma is coming one way or the other.
