There’s no MFn in CLEMSON
Aug 31, 2019, 12:27 PM
|
|
Students were great at the game. Hill was full, great crowd everybody hung around. I was really happy with what I saw.
Except how loud the O-MFn-N was during Tiger Rag.
I get it. I used to be a student. I used to cuss a lot. But that was just about the trashiest thing I’ve ever seen and it’s something I’d expect out of the chickens. I had numerous people around me, far away from the student section wondering what in the world y’all were doing.
It’s created post game conversations that are a problem. The family atmosphere that we have created here, that’s a huge part of our identity as a school as well as something Dabo’s been able to maximize with recruiting gets completely torpedo’d if people have to question whether or not they can bring their kids to the game because of the student section. It’s a bad look.
If you’ve been doing it, please stop and encourage people around you to stop it too. Nothing good comes from it.

I agree. They were doing that when I was a student 5 years ago and I hated it. Trashy and childish.

My son is named. Braxton. We call him “B” for short. His little league team was sponsored by FNB (First National Bank). They put names of the players on the back of the jersey, we put on his “FNB”. Was that wrong?

Ok, but what is “there is no MFn in Clemson” mean?
Aug 31, 2019, 2:41 PM

It just doesn’t make sense. Now if they said there is no “p” or “z” in Clemson I would at least understand what they are yelling about. There is an “n” in Clemson.

Darn right! If they want to act like that they can go down the road to Cootlumbia where that type behavior is encouraged.

You point out irony here, I’m sure the older generation did not approve of the “######” in that chant either.

These kind of things are typical behavior for the millenial generation as a whole. General lack of respect for others and their elders. Kids are no longer disciplined so this is how they turn out. Yeah I'm old school.........

I bet if you sat in the student section any time from the 60s till now you would hear and see similar things.

Yeah, the problem is my 5 year old hearing it in my section. I don't really care if all the students pass out( in the student section).

I don't think some students, nor grownups cussing during the game is going to dissuade parents or people in general from coming to games and enjoying the family atmosphere. Overreaction. At least it was a blow out win so y'all were able to nitpick something out of Dabo's and Clemson's control to complain about. Bravo!

were younger because of the MFn. (You can't have a family atmosphere with 10K people screaming MFn - so it's not an overreaction...)

I'm seeing more post-game conversations around it this week too. It's worth noting that nobody complains about the "Like Hell ######! And win!".
It's not cussing in general...it's just this one.

Most kids these days could care less about tradition, classy behavior or vulgarity. It’s so trashy and “ cootish” and makes this university looks ridiculous.

Now that they've packed out the student section this year so you can no longer can complain about not showing up, have to find something else to complain about.
And please since when has any student section in the country been known as "classy"? They often make the great atmosphere.

It needs to stop.
I would rather hear the godforsaken 'woo-hoo" over the added obscenity in the spelling of CLEMSON.
The obscenity is sophomoric and low class.

It was done when I was a student almost 20 years ago
Sep 9, 2019, 2:03 PM
|

Back then a few people in the student section would yell it. Now it seems like the whole student section has decided to say MF’n during the spelling of Clemson. I definitely wasn’t a saint as a student, and my college version of me would be the last person who should lecture students about gameday behavior, but it’s not a good thing for the kids. Really don’t like when someone not in the student section decides to yell MF’n behind families with children at the game.

Not done when I was there in late 70s. Sure we cursed, but don't remember hearing as much then as now. Seems like it's a lot more prevalent. I know, "get off my yard."

Is this peer pressure ? Because this is how bullying starts .
Also , if you think a bunch of 20ish students are going to tell other 20ish students not to be potty mouths you have no idea how these peoples be working things out.
My daughter was on that hill , I will ask her for you though ...see if we can't bolt a trend ??
