Jayhawk Fan Here


May 24, 2012, 7:13 PM

Hello Clemson fans, first, just want to say that I have been talking with Clemson fans the last couple of weeks on various message boards and I gotta say, you guys are a pretty cool bunch. I dont follow much ACC football and really didnt know anything about Clemson until recently and Im really surprised at how passionate you guys are. Really took me off guard for an ACC team.

Anyway, this sounds suspiciously familiar to me. "Committed to [schools] athletics." is the part that really got me. Yeah, the Bot was basically signalling for an invite (though someone should tell him that the Big 12 cant approach them officially, lawsuits and all) but the non-committal to the ACC was really telling.

I have gathered that Clemson fans are not particularly happy with their current situation. I am also gathering this from Florida State fans. Both seem to WANT to move (for the most part, there are some in both camps that want to stay which is cool, better the devil you know than the devil you don't, right?). Most of us would like to go to 12 IF the right teams are added. Not just markets and football prestige, but also teams that WANT to be in the conference. West Virginia and TCU fans have been overwhelmingly excited about joining the Big 12 and I would like to see us add 2 more that also show such enthusiasm.

This is why I want Clemson and FSU. Both fan bases have been terrific. Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Miami seem to look down on the Big 12 and I get the feeling that if they came they would not want to be there but had no choice. I dont want to give them the choice.

Fan pressure got A&M out of the Big 12, you guys put pressure on your BOT and you will get out. I promise.

Whatever happens, I have really enjoyed getting to know about Clemson and interact with a lot of your fans. Usually don't venture out of Big 12 country message boards, but Im certainly glad I have gotten the opportunity to get to know some of your posters.
