Gov. Nikki Haley was 3-0 in friendly wagers with other governors
The Clemson Tigers weren't the only ones to see a successful run come to a disappointing end during Wednesday's Orange Bowl loss to West Virginia. Gov. Nikki Haley's streak of three-consecutive wins in friendly wagers against other governors also came crashing down. Haley won bets with Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman during the past seven months, as South Carolina's college teams achieved unprecedented success. But Wednesday night, West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin finally got the best of Haley and will get to enjoy some Lowcountry shrimp and grits, thanks to the Mountaineers' 70-33 victory. Haley previously won a key lime pie after the University of South Carolina won its second-…

Both South Carolina football powers are going bowling in Florida next month, but one team may have more company than the other. Clemson University will face West Virginia during the FedEx Orange Bowl Jan. 4 in Miami and the University of South Carolina will play Nebraska during the Capital One Bowl Jan. 2.

At this point, the university could eat more than $1 million in unpurchased tickets. "We still have 9,000 tickets that we can sell," Assistant Ticket Manager Tina Middleton said. "I guess with the timing of this game and the location that it may keep some people at…
