Well, I guess ESECPN made and epic fail. Get the better games out of the way in the middle of the day. Turn the TV'S off and do other things instead of watching crappy games in the afternoon. I'll just plan to winterize the pool after the game. After all, our depth will work out well for us in the heat of the day. GOOOOOOO TIGERSSSS !!!!

they beat a couple of mediocre teams to go 4-0 and so them and VT get the 3:30 spot. Clemson and Miami is a much better matchup.

I think it's to the home team's advantage to have a later game time. Nothing a visiting team hates worse than sitting around all day waiting for the game. Crowds are more rowdy for later games, too.

in home games at noon.
Of course there are a few exceptions (as there would be with any team), so there is no need to list those here.

It's not like its at 7 am, and the students are already ON CAMPUS, so its not that hard to get to the stadium.

Do you realize the percentage of students that actually live on campus? I don't know the number but it's just freshman, the sorority halls in the horseshoe, the fraternity quad, and stadium suites. Lightsy Bridge and Thornhill village you can throw in there too, but that's still NOBODY. I'm not saying the student section shouldn't be full, cause it should, but you should get your facts right and realize the pain that it is for off campus students to get to the games on saturdays. They don't get the luxury of parking passes.

Most Freshman and sophomores live on campus
Sep 26, 2010, 1:40 PM
[ in reply to Re: People should complain about that ] |

All students should attend all home games. Drunken frat boys and sorostitutes are the reasons for empty seats in the student sections. They show up for 5 minutes of the game wearing pink and green bowties and acting like idiots who would rather slap each others butts that watch football.
There.

I never said the student section shouldn't be full every game. It should be. But where do these sophomores live? I'm curious to learn since you seem to know so much.
And those "drunken frat boys and sorostitutes" wear orange just like everyone else. You act like they are cheering for the opposing team. The greeks are much more than just drunks and if you have as big of a problem with the greeks as you seem to, then just don't support or enjoy the things at Clemson that greeks have a prominent hand in.
So this weekend, don't go by Bowman and look at the floats, don't go to Tigerama, don't watch any skits at Tigerama, don't go to any of the parts of campus sponsored by greek organizations (for example the Scroll of Honor Memorial), and I hope you don't care for most student organizations on campus including Student Government, Blue Key, Student Alumni Council, and many others because greeks are prominent members of all of all those things.
If this is all of the things that 17% of the population does, what is the other 83% doing? I'm not saying that there aren't many others who give their time and effort to the Clemson community, but it seems to be quite a disproportionate amount that the greek community does.
Everybody at this school wears and bleeds orange. I'm glad your lack of knowledge or ignorance makes you sleep better at night but it seems from your eloquent post that you are just against people having a great time and supporting the school they love at the same time. I will be there on Saturday the entire game just as I have been my entire life. I have more than just my team to cheer for, but I have friends that are on the team to cheer for, as well. What state of mind I might be in is of no concern to you, but, instead, I hope what I do with my life and my time here at Clemson does.

still a weak argument
Sep 26, 2010, 2:31 PM
|

i lived off campus for 3 years, never had any problem getting to the game for any kick off. load up, park at kite hill and walk if you have to. i do that now and i live 3 hours away. oh the things i would give to live 3 miles away.
also, the other 83% of the population is doing the exact same things the 17% you mentioned are (SGA, Blue Key, honor societies, etc.), except they're actually still allowed to have alcohol.
1 former student, 3.7 GPA, 100% retention rate, 1 education program, 15 service hours, 20 bucks donated to charity.
p.s. i'm just messing with you, so don't freak out.

I wonder why (2-2) VT & unranked NCSU got the 3:30 ABC slot.
Sep 26, 2010, 1:22 PM
|
|
After VT got beat by BSU and JMU, I'm surprised that ESPN put the VT-NCSU game in the 3:30PM slot instead of a ranked Miami and a 1-loss Clemson team that played a thrilling game on ESPN in Auburn. Heck, the last 3 games between Miami and Clemson were decided in OT, which shold be good for ratings. I wonder if it's because Clemson & Miami are smaller schools and thus have less alumni to watch the games? Anybody know why for certain?
I wonder what the point spread will be on those games.

Well, let's face facts. VT blanked a very good BC team in Boston, and NC State demolished a GT team that everyone thinks is the toughest team in the conference (if not the country) to game plan against. They're the hot ticket right now. Clemson's coming off a bye week. We and Miami might both be really good teams, but we're not the hot item this week.

Wow, what a disappointment. As much as everyone is going to have their own likes and dislikes, it is difficult to disagree that the crowd is much more excited and electric for an evening game. Yes, I realize that is generally a result of alchol consumption. My number one reason for enjoying the night games is that I enjoy the few Saturdays we get each year to spend a nice day of enjoying family and friends on the campus of Clemson before a football game. Either way, I will be there but I must admit that the morning will be rushed in an attempt to enjoy the day. Go Tigers!

I guess the readership of these blogs are "young" and don't remember that college football games were played in front of an audience of students and locals for the most part.All games started at or around the noon hour.Only with big time T.V. did these schedules move into the afternoon and evening.Just go,enjoy,support the Tigers and quit whining. Trust me,you will get old sooner than you think and will not be able to stay up for the evening games.

Say what you want but noon games suc and blow chunks! They mean we are irrelevant,they are a hassle to get ready for. It's a heck of alot more fun to have a game to look forward to and cook and party with your tiger buddies than have it over and done with by 3:00 friggin o'clock. If we loose at night you can take your depressed a$$ to bed, if victory you can take your happy a$$ to bed with sweet dreams. Sorry travelers but its the way I feel and I do feel your late game pain been there. I hope I' m never to old to not be able to stay up for a tiger game esp a big game like this one. If I'm that old I probably won't remember clemson anyway. Go Tigers!
