I think I'm beginning to understand SEC fans.


Aug 24, 2014, 5:00 PM

Half of them couldn't get through high school much less make it to a good college so they just picked out a university to pull for. Instead of having real allegiance to 'their,' school it becomes easy to cheer for a conference, especially when their 'favorite,' team sucks.

Yeah mutts, I'm addressing you and your feathered barnyard buddies too.

Why don't you give us a percentage of how many on this site graduated from Clemson?

I would bet good money that Clemson has more graduate/fans than Carolina.

I would much rather have fans that didn't go to my school than elitist snobs like you. And by the way I graduated from SC . Don't need a degree to be a fan. Followed them since I was born, just like a lot of my SC and CU buddies that didn't go to either .

If you're one of those USuCk fans who actually hate the guys handing your ### to you year after year then I may have some respect for you.

"Anybody that says Coach Brownell is the best coach to come through Clemson is going to start an argument." -JP Hall


I actually agree with you here


Aug 24, 2014, 8:24 PM [ in reply to Re: I think I'm beginning to understand SEC fans. ]

I did not graduate from Clemson (UNC-C grad), but was born into a Clemson family.

I have had season tickets for 20+ years. I am pretty sure the thousands of dollars that I have given the athletic dept over the years that support Clemson is not any less appreciated if it came from me or a graduate of Clemson.

I wouldn't go around bragging about "graduating" from USuC.***

My yard man is a huge Clemson fan- he looks really rough, teeth knocked out by a chainsaw (so he told me, I think they just fell out) , and he may or may not have graduated from high school but dang that guy knows the game, and the tigers!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah, but he doesn't chant ACCACCACC I bet.


Aug 24, 2014, 10:20 PM

Unless of course he's like the rest of us and just taunting the SEC homers.

Who do you think pays for these programs? You think alumni dollars keep these programs? Its not. It is the Mechanic, the logger, the plumber that goes out and buys a Clemson hat or a Clemson tag for his pickup. You think that lady that works at the gas station graduated from Clemson? No. she didn't, but she paid 60 bucks for that Clemson shirt she has on. That is who pays for big time football. Also, without those fans, you could forget your games being on tv.

Re: I think I'm beginning to understand SEC fans.


Aug 24, 2014, 6:21 PM

Ok, I'll answer this.

I graduated from UGA.
It's the only school I cheer for, even through I love a good college football game no matter the school. I don't like soccer (not relevant but just for the record). I don't cheer, exactly, for the SEC. Think Auburn cheers for Alabama, ever?

I respect other traditions and fans,such as:

1. Clemson entrance into DV and Howard's Rock.
2. Auburn's "Tiger" flight into Jordan-Haire
3. The dotting of the eye by the Ohio State band.
4. Chief Osceola and the flaming spear

UGA, a very a very good academic school rated just as high as Clemson, has a lot of fans that couldn't get in. Some of them are even rednecks. Ok, a lot of them. So what? Glad to have them. Aren't you glad to have fans that WISH they could get into Clemson, and admire the school.

Sorry for typos! Eye? Jeez. I'm typing on my phone and it did that automatically. I swear.

I went to UGA in the '80s. They DID take everybody back then! I wouldn't get in today.

My buddy an Auburn grad cheered for bama against nd because of the sec logic and cult mentality. I couldn't believe it when he said it.

Clemson fans don't pull for the conference like the SEC school's fans.
