ESPN pits Clemson v. Athens for best college football town
Sep 17, 2021, 12:45 PM
ESPN put together a bracket of sorts for the public to vote on the best college football towns in America, and there's an interesting first round matchup in the Southeast with Clemson, SC, vs. Athens, Georgia.
ESPN's Andrea Adelson on Clemson: "Clemson is a college town in every sense, starting with the fact the university is located in Clemson, S.C. Everything in and around Clemson essentially revolves around the school. Orange tiger paws are marked on the roads leading to campus. But beyond the relationship between the town and the school, Clemson has the best traditions, paired with iconic local establishments known beyond its borders. Watching Clemson players and coaches touch the Rock and run down the Hill has to be on every college football fan's bucket list. So does a beverage or two at the local Esso Club before or after kickoff."
The vote is starting Wednesday on Twitter and Instagram @ESPNCFB per the story.
Which college town has the best food? What about best scenery? Or pregame tailgate? If your school lands in the 16-team best college town bracket, vote @ESPNCFB on Twitter and Instagram.

My question would be, who cares about what ESECPN or anybody else thinks other than what Tiger Nation thinks about our school, our athletics, our FB stadium, or our traditions more than the fans of Tiger Nation. I know that I care what they think or say bc, as long as we're happy about all that we have, bc nobody else matters, and that's a fact!!!

The only team the whole state of Georgia has beside the Dawgs is Clemson. Of course 90% of the state ends up pulling for Alabama at the end of the year. 2% GT fans lol.....
