should be on top of the flagpole at Gameday, not the Alumni Association flag. I don't care if the Alumni Association does sponsor all that stuff. We are trying to maintain recognition for CLEMSON UNIVERSITY, not the Alumni Association.
That is all, carry on.

Yep. I don’t understand how they allow that to continue. The Alumni Assoc coordinates the logistics, right? Thus, they would have control over how its done and should be reprimanded by the University and get it corrected.

Agreed. As usual you can't read either one of them because it's so over done and weighed down with two big flags. Doesn't look very smart for Alumni.

Yeah, that limp pole is a whole separate issue on its own. A bad look.

This! Getting recognition for the Alumni Association is nice, but it pales in comparison to the recognition the Paw brings to our university.

Last week with the two flags, you had a hard time finding the Clemson flags. I agree with the Paw needing to be featured.

As someone who has flown the flag before they do specifically tell you the Alumni flag goes on top. I would tend to agree the paw should go on top. Maybe it was just so it wouldnt look funny with the larger alumni flag below the paw flag (order a larger paw flag!). They also need to make the flags not as thick and heavy, they dont wave in the air all that easily and doesnt look great on TV.
From the emailed instructions...
"The flags should be hung with the Alumni Flag on top and the Paw flag below (there is a slight difference in size which will make sense when you see them). "

at least FOUR ish-shoes.
1. Limp pole, should be big enough to not bend, never a good thing.
2. PAW Flag SHOULD go on top.
3. PAW flag should be big, and Alumni Association flag should be smaller, OR NOT THERE AT ALL.
4. Flags should be made of lighter material, both from ease of carrying, and from ease of waving around.
Do the people in the Alumni Association that do this flag deal also work for the Guvmint? Seems like only the Guvmint could screw up that many things on a job that should be this simple?

Fly 2 flags on the same pole. In my yards I have American Flag on top and Clemson Paw Flag underneath. They could do the same thing except put the Paw Flag on top and the Alumni Flag underneath.

Is Clemson the only school whose Alumni Association is so starved for

attention that they must fly their flag on Gameday? I don't think I have seen any others. It would be a whole lot simpler, and easier on the flag wavers, if ONLY the PAW flag was on a better pole. I cringe at that flimsy pole everytime I watch Gameday.
