re: USCe nicknames for Clemson

quote:

A coot is a small flightless bird.

A tater is a potato.

It comes from Clemson being an agriculture school, and a play on the IPTAY foundation. Which stands for I Pay Ten a Year or some shite like that I can't remember. Well SC fans changed it to "I Plant Taters All year".

I'm going off memory here but I'm pretty sure this is where it derived from.

I have no earthly idea where Clemson got coots from. Seems like "cocks" would give them enough ammo, but hey. Clemson.
