Alum vs. Non Alum

I grew up a Tiger, and was fortunate enough to graduate from Clemson. It is one of my proudest achievements. However, I feel no different about Clemson now than I did the day I graduated or when I was in middle school watching Woody Dantzler.
I'd like to say to all Non Alums that not all of us (Alums) quantify and compare our love for Clemson, nor do we feel superior as fans. We are ALL Clemson Tigers and we ALL bleed orange. We are ALL one Clemson family and I'm very proud to have everyone, Alums and Non Alums, on board with me when I cheer on OUR Tigers on Saturdays!

With my uncle, Class of 1956, Clemson Tiger. I got Johnathan Brooks' chinstrap after game and became a Tiger fan for life that day. I went to at least 15 games through the 1970's and 1980's after that and got Tiger orange and purple blood in my veins but the partial music scholarship from SCSU was hard to say no to in 1986 when I was 18. I became a Bulldog and Marching 101 drummer and proud SCSU alum but was a Tiger fan to my bones. My front license tag has a hand painted Bulldog on one side and Paw on the other and I will be a Bulldog and Tiger fan til I die. I do not argue this or justify this to anyone. I know the Tigers will destroy SCSU and wish we never played in football. I have a Bulldog tattoo on my arm and a Paw in my heart and I will be a Tiger fan and Bulldog til they drop me in the ground, alum or not.

I have been a Clemson fan since approximately 1958. I entered Clemson as a freshman in September of 1963, but I got married, dropped out of school, and never returned. Not returning was a huge mistake, but I'm still married to that same girl 53+ years later, so that part was and still is good. She and I will always love Clemson with all our hearts. This alum/non-alum thing? I could not possibly care any less about that silliness than I do. We are very proud that one of our grandsons enrolled at Clemson this fall, Go Tigers!

It starts from trolls

tigernet is easily trolled. Then people just keep starting threads about how we are all equal which gives people the opportunity to tell everyone how awesome they are and that we are all equal.

I haven't really followed the alum/ non-alum thing on here much. But, several of my friends are HUGE Clemson fans. Never miss a game. Tail gate like crazy. And none of this group graduated from Clemson. One started at Clemson, but couldn't afford to stay there and ended up graduating from Carolina so he could commute from home. Biggest Clemson fan I know. By far. So, IMHO, the only thing you have to have to be a "Clemson Man or Woman", is to love Clemson.
