NC State and Clemson have met 91 previous times before today’s noon kickoff in Death Valley, a rivalry known since 1981 as the Textile Bowl.
There’s a deeper, richer history to the rivalry that dates back to 1899, when the two teams met in Rock Hill, S.C., on a weekend that the N.C. A&M also played Davidson.
I’ve written about more of those games than I imagined, so I collected a handful of stories that include big wins, big losses and close games.
Overall, it’s a pretty good snapshot of what this rivalry between two land-grant universities in neighboring states has been like through the years.
