Clemson getting hammered on FGF

Guess they did not read their own sordid history:
"Slavery at South Carolina College, 1801–1865:
The Foundations of the University of South Carolina
This website is intended to tell the largely unknown and unfamiliar story of slavery at South Carolina College, the institutional predecessor of the University of South Carolina.
Slaves played a fundamental role at the college between its founding in December 1801 and February 1865, when slaves saw themselves liberated by the arrival of federal troops in Columbia in the final months of the Civil War. The primary buildings of South Carolina College survive as the historic heart of the modern campus—known today as the Horseshoe—and were constructed by slave labor and built of slave-made brick.
If one stands today on the steps of the university’s McKissick Museum and gazes toward Sumter Street, almost all of the buildings that constituted South Carolina College on the eve of the Civil War are visible. (The original president’s house has been replaced by McKissick Museum and several extant antebellum buildings are obscured by structures and vegetation.) It is a surprisingly intact and well-preserved “landscape of slavery.”
Slaves were essential to the daily operations of the antebellum institution, in addition to their role in shaping its built environment. Whether they were owned outright by the faculty or the college itself, or hired from private parties, slaves maintained campus buildings, cleaned student tenements and faculty duplexes, and prepared meals at the student dining commons, faculty residences, and the president’s house. Slaves lived and worked in now-forgotten outbuildings located behind the buildings of the present-day Horseshoe.
Remarkably, one kitchen house / slave quarters stands today.
Slavery also shaped the contours of the intellectual and political world at South Carolina College. Presidents and faculty members became some of the nation’s most ardent defenders of slavery, even as a handful emerged to oppose the institution. The college prepared its students to assume positions of political leadership within the state and in Washington, D.C., and many alumni came to play pivotal roles as proponents of South Carolina’s economic and racial interests in the sectional crisis that culminated in civil war. These political and intellectual leaders are relatively easy to trace in libraries and archives through their writings and their records of public service. More challenging to research are the names, much less the lives, of individual college slaves or the full details of slavery at the college."

The slave owning general Thomas Sumter was known as "the gamecock." I suggest they change their name to "the lamecocks."

Multiple? They've had multiple.
This is the equivalent of "I'm not racist. I have black friends."

Just post their own history on their board. At times like this, it makes losing your membership on that trash site worth it with a little history of their own!!! Do it with just a link, and a message stating a little more of Clemson history on Racism, and more people will get a chance to click on it before they delete it and kick your butt off their garbage trashy site!!! And they will kick you out bc they have never been able to deal with the truth bc, the truth hurts them to their core!!!

The advice to ignore them is probably best ....
But if you can’t ...please let them know that if they were relevant they’d be getting similar attention...they are in South Carolina as well...with similar history to Clemson...
The QB comment is appropriate as well...
Growing up a Clemson fan ... I remember thinking as a child ... why is it a big deal that a QB is black ? Especially when I heard remarks about black QBs in the NFL .. it was puzzling to me..
I thought QBs were normally black - what’s the big deal?

If you add the scores from their record 5 game win streak they won by a total of 74 points. Shouldn’t it be our goal to cover that spread in the 2020 game? I think that would be the neighborly thing to do.

7 on the way , and aside from our 2015 win ( they got that late TD ) they have been completely overmatched since 2014.

They have a long history of always trying to make Clemson out as racist, ignorant, intolerant, etc. It is about as correct as their self proclaimed annual national football championships. They are bozos. And always will be

They need to look at their building names, do some research and stop acting like 100-200 years ago one side of the state thought radically different than the other.

FGF users lack literacy and you expect them to be aware of history? Even their own oral "story" only goes back to their last blackout.

This is a Clemson board, so...
a) Nobody cares
2) That's not really news
