Starting now, I think we should refuse to acknowledge

the term "Clemsoning." By repeating it we are keeping it alive, especially when our players and coaches address it. When asked about it, I think they should simply decline to acknowledge it. The fans should ignore it. Given the change in culture at Clemson, the term will die quickly of from disuse. By complaining about it we are acutally perpetuating it. I resolve that this is the last time I will ever use the word. Who is with me?

At least that one is totally under the control of Clemson fans.
The use of the derogatory term "Clemson-ing" is really not under our control.

I am in complete agreement. Just let our play do the talking.

Am I the only one who thinks it could be good to keep it

you can talk about it all day, if we win, it does not matter. If nothing else, I think it keeps our team from overlooking teams like BC. I agree that a 20 min discussion during a game that we are up by 20 is not good, but 2 years ago, we would not have anyone on our side of the argument. I hoped someone was banging the Clemsoning drum at this time two years ago.

I'm with you. I get pissed off every time I hear it. I think a lot of reporters use it to deflect attention from all the great strides our program has made.
