Not this week, bow tie boy.

You manscaping woohooers best stay home. This one is for the old school tigers.

I don't think Barker wears bowties


Aug 29, 2013, 8:46 AM

I'm not a Barker apologist in any way, but I can't sit by idly and let someone falsely accuse anyone of being a bow tie wearer.

Pretty sure that's just a normal tie he's got on there,


Aug 29, 2013, 9:03 AM

But that was pretty funny.

I'm sure the UGA fans will extend that same courtesy next fall too. Those guys put the @ss in class.

Though I should admit I haven't been to a UGA-Clemson game. This experience comes from seeing UGA-South Carolina my junior year at Clemson and watching some bald UGA fan barking and throwing beer cans at a father & son from SC.

The beer cans weren't full thankfully, but I remember thinking "wow, this is so much different than the way Clemson fans act towards opposing fans"

Sadly, I have been to many ugay games, and I never recall one in which there weren't several fights, usually among their own fans. They are at least as trash a fan base as usuc. I imagine you will see that for yourself, and so will Barker.

Due to my location, I unfortunately won't be able to see it on Saturday...but hopefully soon!

It should be a great game, and who knows who will win this one. I predict it will be one for the record books as both teams should be very good. Sorry you will miss this one.

Fortunately I'll be able to watch, so I'll still be there in spirit haha.

Getting so close...

Barker, please don't tell us how to act


Aug 29, 2013, 8:35 AM

All I can say if we will have eyes and ears in Lot 1 if something unsightly happens to a football.

Open case?

Have you kicked your dog today?

I dont have a dog so i went to pet smart to kick one there.

Will somebody turn him over and check the expiration date?


Aug 29, 2013, 8:46 AM

I think he was in the fridge when I bought it.

Hospitality at the Tailgate and Hell in the stadium. The Clemson Tiger way.

Re: Football Update: Email from President Barker


Aug 29, 2013, 10:24 AM

Great post.... I don't have a problem with anything Barker said, and I have not been a huge fan of his, but I will give him and the BOT credit for doing what needed to be done to put the football program on the right track. Coach, facilities, money for assistant coaches, etc.

We should be gentlemen while we tailgate, but also go nuts during the game. There is a reason the statement is made: "there is something different in these hills...." I believe that is class and dignity, but also a football program that will kick your ---!

Re: Football Update: Email from President Barker


Aug 29, 2013, 8:55 AM

I'm all for being civil to opposing fans, but polite is about as far as it goes. Asking me to treat a UGA fan "warmly" is just not gonna happen. The sooner those leghumpers get off my campus, the better.

And not that it should make any difference how we behave/respond this weekend, I'm sure their university president will not be writing a similar letter to UGA fans next year. This is a fan base, after all, that has no problem trashing their own campus during football games.

Re: Football Update: Email from President Barker


Aug 29, 2013, 10:01 AM

Wait a second everybody hates the way UGA fans act but you're going to act like them?

Don't lower yourself to acting like uga and coots fans.

We are Clemson we are MUCH better than them

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No, you misunderstand me entirely


Aug 29, 2013, 10:27 AM

I'm 100% for treating visiting fans with politeness and respect. Even being helpful if asked. However, "greet warmly" is not something I have any intention of doing to UGA fans that I don't already know. Replace "warmly" with "civilly" and I have no issues. One can be diplomatic without being friendly.

To be clear, this is specific to UGA and SCar fans, and possibly Miami fans--all other fans I'm happy to "warmly welcome" to campus.

Re: Football Update: Email from President Barker- I think


Aug 29, 2013, 9:00 AM

we've shown we know how to behave, Barker. Maybe you should worry about the ilk of those fans from Ga.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This is a rare case where "polite" means...


Aug 29, 2013, 9:20 AM


How 'bout them Dawgs?

...I'll refrain from chasing their fans away with a pitchfork.

Make no mistake: Bulldog fans will be up there Saturday looking for trouble. These aren't BC, or Texas A&M folks who have ceom to savor our southern hospitality. They aren't even (gasp!) Capons who at least seem to grasp the basics of detente.

But when you pass a group of fans of an opposing team and say "Good luck!" ... their responses range from "F**k You!" to "Clemson $ucks!" then I think you can tell that peace co-existence is going out the window.

These will be, quite possibly, the rudest, nastiest bunch of visitors we've had since the Clamato days of NC State. We would be well-served to avoid eye contact and have extra chains to bolt everything down.
