Brian Tazuma, a bartender at Wild Wing Cafe in The Vista said unlike Saturday during USC's game, Monday was not standing room only. However, the bar was still busy to provide a mid-week boost.

"It's nice because people have a day of rest and then it's just more football," Tazuma said.

Across town, there was a packed house at Carolina Ale House. Managers, Will Harvey and Greg Gerrans say football is always good for business.

"We love to see people come out and enjoy watching football, enjoying some of our food, and enjoying a beer, so we encourage all college football fans to come out and see us."

Like Clemson fans, bar owners across the Midlands are also hoping for a successful football season.
