Every year they play 1 big BCS school, usually Clemson, USCe, UGA, NC State or someone in the region.

Fans will be very friendly and don't expect much if any smack talk. They will be polite and will be a little shocked at the alcohol consumption.

Favorite cheer is: "FU one time, FU two times, FU three times, FU all the time" please don't take a taunt!

All I can say is "Go cash that check Paladins!"
