Do you have a team in our conference that you root for or


Jul 25, 2017, 2:20 PM

against (obviously besides us). I'm really torn with FSU- I certainly was rooting for them against Michigan, but since we go head to head with them on many recruits, I mostly root against them. I will be rooting for them against Alabama. I always root against Louisville and UNC. I root for Wake to do well because they don't seem to bother me. How about you?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I root for every ACC team in OOC play


Jul 25, 2017, 2:23 PM

I also root for VT in conference play. I always want FSU to win in conference play as well, unless they beat us of course.

I like VT because of Beamer and I like FSU because of Bowden. Obviously anything to the detriment of Clemson then I pull the other way.

I always pull against Maryland and GT, because they both have the worst fan bases I ever seen.

Unless they are playing us, I tend to pull for

VaTech, NC St, and Ga Tech only because they are like us...the state technical school vs the state university that has a law school i.e. UVA, UNC, and UGA.

I will root for Coach K and Duke basketball just to drive another nail into the legacy of the grossly overrated Dean Smith...

Jul 25, 2017, 8:13 PM

Dean is overrated? I remember when we had something like a 10-point lead with ~ 1 minute to play, and they beat us at home. I can never bring myself to think Dean was overrated. JMO.

Simple. I almost always pull for ACC schools against non-conference foes, unless it's to Clemson's detriment. In conference games I root for whichever outcome benefits the Tigers.

I too have a soft spot for Wake, but I DO know why. My Dad (late 1920s) and my brother (early 1960s)both played football at Wake.

I can not and will not ever pull for FREE SHOES UNIVERSITY, I know we aren't supposed to hate anyone in this world but they make it hard not to, and by "they" I mean(fan base, players, and little dumbo Fisher).

If I had to pull for someone other than Clemson it would probably be Georgia tech or Virginia tech.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

All of them, and none of them.


Jul 25, 2017, 3:15 PM

Depends who is the underdog.

I always root for clemson to win and ND to lose.

Re: All of them, and none of them.


Jul 25, 2017, 3:33 PM

Do you mean to tell there is someone else besides Clemson?. I tend to be a positive person, one who pulls for whoever is playing the Gamecocks, the Irish, and any SEC team, except Florida. After all, that's where I got my first degree. I also tend to be fair and balanced which gives me the opportunity to hope, in some games, that both teams could lose.

badge-ringofhonor-joe21.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


There's nobody i always root for.


Jul 25, 2017, 3:31 PM

I pull for whichever benefits Clemson the most on that given day.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Absolutely not!


Jul 25, 2017, 3:41 PM

I only play the conference card when they are playing an SEC team or a blue blood like Michigan or OSU

That said, it's hard to root for FSU, UNC, UL, in just about every scenario...

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I've always like UVA and VT. I think Fuente will do really


Jul 25, 2017, 3:52 PM

well at VT and glad that SCar did not hire him.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

But, I will pull for ANY ACC team playing an $EC team any day!

"When I was young, I was sure of many things; now there are only two things of which I am sure: one is, that I am a miserable sinner; and the other, that Christ is an all-sufficient Saviour. He is well-taught who learns these two lessons." -John Newton


Out of conference I root for everyone except UNC


Jul 25, 2017, 4:04 PM

And by "root" I mean I'm glad they win...not like I'm emotionally vested.

In conference I kind of like Wake and Duke because they're always underdogs. I like Pitt because of family and NCSU and Syracuse because I have a lot of friends from each.

Not in our conference, but I always root for the Citadel when they play the coots.

Once we beat them in the season, I will pull for them.


Jul 25, 2017, 4:31 PM

Before we play them, I hate all ACC teams except for when they play out of conference. Once we play them and beat them, I'll be rooting for them to win.

Re: Do you have a team in our conference that you root for or


Jul 25, 2017, 4:33 PM

VT because of Fuente. HS QB in Tulsa when we were there, great guy even back then. Screwed by OU.
UVA because of their Bball coach, and I have UVA friends who pull for Clemson.
Duke because of Cutcliff.
Miami because of Richt.

I hate GT and will as long as PJ is there, but for some reason I love seeing them beat ooc teams. Maybe its like seeing our neighborhood a$$hole beat the other neighborhood a$$hole. But if that was the case I would pull for UL against ooc, but no. So I don't know why.

Everybody else can go 0-12 for all I care.

I root for State and hate UNC


Jul 25, 2017, 4:36 PM

I never liked State fans, but my kids went to school there. I like to see them happy, except when they play us. Last year my kid sent a text to me saying "we're about to kick a FG and win"...I texted back..."or not" My other kid is now a senior and still likes Clemson and State about the same.

I like the Duke FB coach (Cutcliffe). I liked him as OC at UT, and HC at Ole Miss, and he's the ONLY reason I like Duke in football (the ONLY sport). I truly admire the guy and wish him well. He does a program right like Dabo does.

Jul 25, 2017, 9:07 PM

I root for our conference teams when they play out of conference games and use to root for teams that would benefit Clemson's cause (divisional race) when they would play a team ahead of us or equal in the conference standings. Besides that I root for whichever team plays UNC, FSU, or GT. Also, added any team who played U of L and NCSU last year and will probably keep rooting against U of L and NCSU until those two head coaches are no longer at those universities.

I would like to see Bronco Mendenhall succeed at UVA, so I guess I sort of root for them.
