2. Steve Taneyhill
During Taneyhill’s time in South Carolina, the Gamecocks were 2-2 against the Tigers.
But, one of those wins etched Taneyhill’s name in the “most hated books” for Clemson football of all-time.
The year was 1992.
He was a freshman and the Gamecocks were in the midst of four-straight losses to Clemson.
Well, Taneyhill had one of the games of his life that day, leading the Gamecocks to a 24-13 win over the Tigers. The mullet-headed cocky gunslinger decided to mock sign his name on the Tiger paw at the 50-yard line. He threw his hands up in the air and that image is still an iconic photo for Gamecock fans to this day.
From that moment forward, Taneyhill became one of the most hated Gamecocks of all-time.
