This was a topic on 107.5 The Game this morning, and I strongly agree with the premise. I believe the Carolina-Clemson game has the worst possible placement on the schedule in terms of hype and fan/media interest. Students aren't even in school when this game is being played. How can we fix this? I've said for years that we should make a "Carolina-Clemson Weekend" out of the weekend after Thanksgiving. Instead of just football, have Men's Hoops play on Friday night in the location of the football game. Have the football game on Saturday and then have the Women's game on Sunday. Or... have the Women's Game earlier on Friday (holiday for most people so it could start at around 5) and then have a double header with the men's game later that evening.
If not this, then have this game moved to January or February.
