Take it from Freddie Harmon of Gaffney, a die-hard Gamecock fan who hasn't missed a Carolina home game since 1981: "Anyone can pull for a winner," he says, "but it takes a real fan to hang in there with USC."

After touchdowns, the firing of the cannons creates "an electric atmosphere," says Charlie, a loyal Citadel fan. Learn more about Citadel Football Traditions.
