Sep 6, 2012, 10:44 PM

An R after your name will stop all coot b/s by ignoring ever coot you come across being negative toward Clemson or any Tiger fan. My ignore page is absolutely over flowing with nothing but coots. I don't ignore Tigers b/c this is a Tiger board and I feel that as a true Tiger, I have an obligation to listen to what they have to say or feel about what I have to say. And I can except there opinions and actions by the way of the TD, if that's the way they feel about what I've said. And I don't care nothing about the way fans of other schools think about us. Neither do I give a crap about what other fans or coots has to say or feel about anything I do or say. Because they don't count, PERIOD... So just pay the small amount of $29.99 for a full year to help get rid of any fan of other schools that does nothing but talk crap about Clemson. If all Tigers would donate and ignore all coots and others that doesn't have anything positive to add. They would be left to talking to and TD-ing each other. And us Tigers will be on track with taking Clemson sports on our Tiger Net board. If Clemson fans want Clemson respected on this board. We have to do more than just complain about it. We have to take it back, or lay down and let the coots and other fans have it.

Sep 6, 2012, 2:21 PM

in another country and let her son live with a HS assistant football coach part time and with a HS teammate's family part time and only talks to him weekly by phone would make such strong statements about a college choice her son seems convinced is the right one?

I know she has his best interests at heart, but since she is not even in the country how can she be so quick to judge what exactly are his best interests?

I also wonder when those comments were made? I'm pretty she she attended Dabo's BBQ earlier this summer with RK. I read he was there with his parents and then they went to Ole Miss to see his brother. If she made the comments recently, then I think there is cause for concern.

thats how i read it too. the woman just wants to be sure her son makes the right choice and wants to be involved. lots of parents fit that bill. they just happen to have a situation where she cant be really involved and its making her nervous. i am sure yalls staff will reach out to her, get her the relevant info she needs, and calm her fears. as much as i would like to see yall not get the #1 recruit, he seems pretty sold on clemson. more likely he changes her mind than that sge changes his.

Born in Atlanta, Georgia, to Nigerian immigrants Beverly and Sunday Nkemdiche. His mother, a politician, returned to Nigeria in 2009 and currently represents Onitsha South in the Anambra State House of Assembly.[4] Robert's older brother Denzel plays defensive back for the Ole Miss Rebels.[5] They originally planned attending college together.[6] However, Robert Nkemdiche committed to Clemson University, on June 14, 2012.[7] Nkemdiche will join some of his teammates at Clemson including RB Wayne Gallman and CB David Kamara.

I have to say I think she is being extremely immature in her comments. It seems like there are a lot of mothers involved in recruiting who have a difficult time handling the attention. She appears to be blurting out emotional statements that are very misleading instead of discussing any concerns she has with her actual son or with the coaches.

Also, let's not forget that the slimy media is hovering around like vultures, trying their best to create controversy. This is one of the reason's why I think recruiting coverage has reached a grotesque, unhealthy level. Random mommas who have no idea how to handle media attention are being put in our face for us to judge, and its all because we are fans of college football. I wish that wasn't part of college football.
