The Clemson–South Carolina football brawl was an on-field altercation during an American college football game between two rival schools, the University of South Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson University Tigers. The incident took place on November 20, 2004 during the 2004 college football season at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina. This disturbance led to serious repercussions handed down for those involved from the SEC (South Carolina's conference) and the ACC (Clemson's conference). This took place the day after a notable brawl at an NBA game in Detroit, the "Malice at the Palace".
