Way back when, their minions in Columbia did every thing they could to relegate Clemson to oblivion, fighting tooth-and-nail against any and all efforts for Clemson. Like his politics or not, him as a person or not, it was old Ben Tillman that took on the Columbia crowd in Clemson's defense. And you know what? I am convinced that that old Creature of the Devil who has reared its grotesque head to smite down the hopes and dreams of Chicken fans far and wide is none other than the bedamned soul of Ben Tillman himself as payback a thousand times over.
They will nevah evah get rid of him, for he has become as much a part of their program as that God-awful critter they claim as a mascot!
And that, my Friend, is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
