For the butthurt people over the Cornell Powell situation
Mar 3, 2019, 9:47 AM
|
|
Kid is a life long unc fan. Yet he came to Clemson to play football for a great team with tradition. I have no doubt his love for Clemson and understand him supporting his childhood team. Understand that college is a business decision as well. Guess what, Xavier Thomas was life long Carolina fan as well as a lot of our players having other teams they rooted for growing up.
My point is, they came to Clemson to play for Dabo and comapny, and will leave better men amd players because of it.That doesn't have to diminish their love for their childhood team.
Step back a second, think about it, get off your high horse, and enjoy what Dabo has done for Clemson. Some of yall just want something to cry about. TD me if it makes you feel better about yourselves, but it's time for some of you to grow up. With that being said, I hope everyone has a great day. Go Tigers!
P.s. you donate to Clemson. What they do with those funds is up to them. Don't like it, don't donate.

... it is better to have people think you’re an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Yes, I disagree with you. Go ahead and TD me, too; after all, I TD’ed you. Maybe you should also reconsider your TNET handle? I don’t think you have a clue as to what ‘All In’ means.
GO TIGERS!!!

It's no big deal, but I thought growing up meant pulling for the college you attend.

I was accepted to Clemson but chose to play

For a private school because I was offered a scholarship at the latter and would have to walk on at Clemson. However i never stopped pulling for our Tigers and imo I always will.

Did you ever attend a Tiger sporting event while wearing a shirt with the private school's logo on it?

The basketball program is constantly fighting the reputation people only care about football. And then you have a football player wear a UNC shirt to the game and sit in the student section. You don’t think the basketball players see it on social media? They work to hard for that and deserve better. And if you think it’s ok don’t ever complain about close losses or anything from the basketball team because this kind of stuff is nothing but harmful

Nothing wrong with him being a UNC bball fan at heart
Mar 3, 2019, 10:20 AM
|

but he used Clemson student tickets to sit close to the action and fully deck himself out in the opposing teams gear. Him growing up a big UNC fan doesn't matter in this circumstance as he is now a Clemson student athlete and should not be publicly and actively rooting for the failure of Clemson in any discipline.

Exactly.......if he wanted to wear a UNCheat shirt he should have attended that frigging school.....instead of ours......his loyalty does not belong with Clemson.....hope Dabo saw this because he is not “All In”......or very smart in my opinion to pull a stunt like this while attending Clemson and playing for OUR football team......Go Tigers!!!!!

Clemson University just paid for his ticket to root against them. Disrespectful to the university and fellow student athletes much less us butthurt fans!

He's a kid and he likes the Tar Heels. Big Deal. If we'd beat them by 20 it would be funny. Lighten up!

People much younger than him are going to war. He can vote.. hes been around forever now so he can probably drink.. he can serve. 18 is the cutoff. Hes a young man certainly not a kid.

Bu||$hit, he can wear baby blue any other time, not at a CU basketball game against the hated tarholes.
And if the only reason he came to Clemson was a business arrangement then he, and you, can don your robin-blue and head to Chapel Hole.

wearing the opposing team’s gear while sitting in Clemson’s student sectio is not classy and invites criticism. Did he really think it would go unnoticed? Of course he didn’t.

followed since childhood. However, it does show disrespect for his fellow student athletes to wear the opposing teams colors at a game.

Never seen what this kid did before now. I guess he can’t get noticed any other way. Maybe he will get on the field if he would transfer. I do not have any respect for turds like him, or Josh Belk for that matter. The are both busts and why they came to Clemson is beyond me except to use the program for a quality education, seeing attending class is not even a requirement in Chapel Hill. Enjoy this while you can you will never make a difference on the field at Clemson. Heck you probably won’t get on the field.

You better become a fan of CLEMSON. And for an athlete wear opposing teams attire for other fellow athletes game on senior night no less is extremely disrespectful. I'd kick his ### off the team. Period.

What a bunch of old homers. All this "get off my lawn bullsh$t is so annoying. No matter what happens, people on this board always have something to complain about. Clemson just won the natty two out of the last 3 years and yet all most of you guys want to talk about is a God #### shirt that a 22 year old is wearing.

Would love seeing the reaction he would get if he was in Chapel Hole if he was sitting in the TarHole student section wearing a Clemson t-shirt while we were trying to win a game we haven't won in, what is now 65 straight attempts.

The fact that he isn’t a Clemson fan first and foremost is a concern.
Mar 3, 2019, 1:10 PM

If he still wants to pull for UNC, that’s his right, but not when they are playing his school. It was really poor form to show up to the game, wearing a UNC shirt, while sitting in the Clemson section.
I don’t understand how anyone here doesn’t see a problem with this.

Be a fan of any team you want, but it is bad taste to wear the colors of another team in the student section when you are an athlete at said school.

You don’t have to wear a UNC shirt to pull for your lifelong team. Especially when it’s playing against your school at your school. I guess you’d be ok with XT wearing a coot shirt?

Agree. My lord, he wears a UNC shirt and he is classless, disrespectful and / or needs to transfer? It's a shirt, for goodness sake. Consider the totality of the person before you start coming to such conclusions.
If I want to read such silliness, I'll go to FGF... "Trevor Lawrence shoved a mouthy kid in a basketball game! He a thug!" "Three Clemson players tested positive for PEDs! Forfeit the game and get the death penalty!" "Christian Wilkins goosed an OSU player! They are a bunch of perverts!"
While I think Dabo should advise players not to wear gear for the other team, this isn't a violation of a universal moral code. It is a shirt. Keep some perspective.

Disrespectful to see a Clemson athlete openly pulling for your opponent in your own gym. Powell hasn’t had the PT he would have hoped for. He will transfer.

I think Moscow Tennessee is a pretty nice town too. Why should that be a problem for anyone?

You don't see XT wearing coot t-shirts or any other players wearing their "childhood" dream team's shirts do you?

To the OP - I grew up as a UofSuc fan and had no interest in CLEMSON. When I was ready to go to college, I visited the campus at UofSuc and CLEMSON. It was no contest and I have never pulled for UofSuc since the first week of Rat Season. Sorry man, but you do not get it.
As for CP, I only hope the best for him, but Dabo might not see it that way. CP made a mistake IMO, and must now face his consequences for his decision. Like I said, I hope all goes well and CP shines this year. He's a really good player that has made some mistakes, and it will continue to cost him if he makes more of them.

There is no defense. What Powell did was stupid and insensitive.

It's a big deal

Clemson is paying for his education. He has access to all the things scholarship football athletes have - they are immense. Huge slap in the face to Clemson that he wore that shirt inside Littlejohn. It's a big deal, very disrespectful
