North-South BBQ Bowl

Clash of the Carolinas:

Gardner-Webb University Football at Charleston Southern

Gardner-Webb University and Charleston Southern University (CSU) announced that the schools’ football programs will continue the Barbecue Bowl tradition started in 2021 with former Big South Conference opponent Campbell University. Beginning this season, the event will be renamed the North-South Barbecue Bowl.

The inaugural “Clash of the Carolinas” will be on Saturday, Nov. 2, in Charleston, S.C., at Buccaneer Field. The Runnin’ Bulldogs and the Buccaneers will compete annually for bragging rights and the North-South BBQ Trophy, which features a hefty hog adorned with a placard to engrave each year’s winning team and score.

Most importantly, the losing team will be tasked with supplying a barbecue feast to the winning side—North Carolina-style (Western BBQ, of course) or South Carolina-style, as chosen by the victors.

Season tickets, season parking passes, along with single-game tickets and parking for Gardner-Webb football are available online at GWUSports.com or by calling (704) 406-4340 during regular business hours.
