How do you base your hatred towards a rival/opposing
May 29, 2019, 12:34 PM
|
|
team - proximity to Clemson, fanbase, legacy (your parents taught you), your relatives, your in-laws, perennial media coverage, etc.?
Just curious.

worship in Lee Chapel and VMI and see that other school named after the two greatest Americans that ever lived.
After seeing what the W & L students had written all over the walls in that quaint little restaurant downtown I petitioned the school to change their name to LGBTQQIA & cetera University [to no avail.]
Don't recall seeing any scary athletes there, however.

A little of all but the strongest distastes
May 29, 2019, 12:46 PM
|

Are for those who I’ve had personal encounters with their fans. For instance I’ve lived off for awhile but most gamecock fans I’ve met in my adult years I wouldn’t like even if they were Clemson fans. I did meet one once who was ok. A lot of NC State grads are tolerable but I understand their fans can be nasty at football games. I don’t generally dislike them. To be honest I’ve met a good bit of Alabama and Auburn fans who I like. There are some arrogant ###### that are UNC fans but I know a good bit who are good folks.

I feel the same about the fanbases ... coots are just arrogant for no reason. Alabama football fans are arrogant, but they have a reason. I grew up in Alabama but tend to keep in contact with more of my Auburn friends.
The NCSU fanbase and coaches have turned me against them considerably. UNC fans can suck eggs. Likewise, for Maryland fans.
Surprisingly, I have UGa relatives and a cousin who graduated UGa and like them. My cousin, who lives in San Francisco, wore Clemson gear for the NC game and gave me a lot of NC memorabilia from the game since I couldn't go. Met some wonderful UGa fans in a tour group while in Iceland. They were very personable, and we got along with them well. Also, had some close UGa friends in Augusta who graduated from UGa. I, apparently, did not learn the disdain for them while I was at Clemson. Likewise, for FSU fans.

I was raised to dislike the coots. Pretty much everyone in my family went to Clemson for at least half of their college. But other than that it is personal interactions. I’ve had bad interactions with Ga tech, Coots, and Duck fans. My wife is an Oregon State beaver and when we visit out there the ducks would sometimes claim they could beat us, I’ve been dreaming of playing them ever since. They are another arrogant poultry product.

Perhaps "hatred" is too strong a term
May 29, 2019, 2:53 PM
|

It takes a lot to inspire true hatred for any individual. Pretty personal stuff. I would say that the rivalry tends to cause fervent disdain for the rivaling fanbases. That's based on personal interactions and the general responses of coot fans who are changing the oil in my car, delivering my pizza, or adding French Fries to my order at Wendy's.

Valid point on the "hatred" term. I should have used
May 29, 2019, 3:44 PM

"disdain" or "dislike".
I certainly do not hate individuals. I know several coots, NCSU fans, UNC fans, etc. for whom I have respect and enjoy. But, collectively, in their fanbases, they are intolerable.

And all joking aside, in my experience the most obnoxious coot fans are the ones who never darkened the doorway of a college classroom anywhere. I've been fortunate enough not to run into a lot of the kind of people that would throw bottles at players from the stands of their dead-cockroach looking stadium.

I grew up in the Pee Dee, Coot territory. The majority of my family went to Clemson (farm family/agriculture). Had so many Coots mock us for going to a “hick/cow school”. They’d sing that mother effin gay song, “Black Magic”. They’d make fun of Rodney Williams, Danny Ford with his chewing tobacco, and praise those prick ##### bags Joe Morrison, Todd Ellis, and coke sniffin George Rogers, like they were elite football heroes. My mother told me if I went to the U of SUC, she’d write me out of her will. (She didn’t have anything to worry about, though) I live in Columbia, now, but about to move back to the upstate (Thank the Good Lord). This place is a s***hole. The traffic, urbanization, the heat, the crime. Have had friends whose kids attended USUC and they’ve been mugged and assaulted. The school covers all the crime up with help from Richland County Sheriffs Dept. It’s horrible and it gets worse, come football season. The media props the Coots up as long as they can, and the idiot fans act like they’re going to the SEC championship. Every Freakin Year. My hate for that school is strong. If it’s between the Taliban and the University of S.C., I’m all in for the Taliban.

And...anyone who says they hope the Coots start doing well again in football, so the rivalry can be competitive, what the h** is wrong with you?? You can’t be a real Clemson fan. Beat the crap out of them until Jesus comes again. That is all.

I hope the coots lose every game they play by double digits. Could care less if they ever win again.
At one point in time I had just a normal amount of disdain for the coots. Hated them about as much as I hated Ga Tech because we lost to the jackets more than we ever should have years ago. During the time when we would beat the coots 4 out of every 5 games I didn't say much to my coot friends or family. I tried to take the high road and be a good friend and family member. Then we lost to them 5 straight and I lived hard. Heard it from all the people I took it easy on for years.
Now I have adopted a full blown "in your face your team sucks A$$ and you are a lowlife scumbag for being a coot fan and I do not care if you are related to me attitude." I want to beat them by 35 points every time we play them and make sure you hear the Tiger Rag ringtone every time you call me. Matter of fact, I am going to refuse to answer the phone the first time you call me so you can listen to it again.
I wear nothing but Clemson colors everyday of the year but especially on holidays and family get togethers. My coot graduate niece got married in April and I wore a bright Clemson tie for the occasion. My nephew graduated from cootville in May and I wore a Clemson tie to the occasion in Columbia.
And I pull for any ACC team that plays you or any other team that plays for that matter and when you do play in your crummy Belk Bowl and get throttled by 28 I am going to laugh all day long. Then at least once a week I will remind a few coots that the 2nd best team in the state of SC is the Citadel.
Go Tigers!!

Reaction to this superiority complex of the majority of their fanbase. Their fans are the worst, the worst most disillusioned fans I've ever come in contact with. I've been around cocky fans of teams before but most of the time (UNC Fans) had a reason to be cocky. They had good teams in basketball mainly that were worthy of being cocky. USuCk fans have never had sustained success in anything. They've had spurts here and there but they portray their team/program is if they were the almighty SEC leader. And will never see success or respect for Clemson even though we've always been better than them in everything. Its one thing to have respect for each other yet fight tooth and nail but those people can't get there for some reason.
The majority of the ones who were the tride and true gamecock club fans, have always acted superior to Clemson for some reason. And no other fan base does this. I've had experiences at games, in my family, and co-workers and they all do the same crap. We're in the SEC and we lose to ya'll b/c of wear and tear and also they've always harped that Clemson is somehow inferior in academics. But its not a rib...they really believe it.And when you call them on it they are dumbfounded and call Clemson fans delusional.
I've since moved to charlotte and don't come in contact with as many coot fans as i did when i lived in the upstate so i wonder how they operate nowadays with our success in football. I know those in my family have piped down, or i just don't see them anymore as much. But i'm sure they're still just as dumb as ever.
