Gotta disagree with Dabo...

#### students and fans throwing trash is representative of South Carolina. I'd say perfectly representative. It's who they have always been and who they will always be. Trashy fans of a trashy school with trashy players and trashy coaches in a trashy city...

Yep. And if he still feels like it’s only a game, he’s not as smart as I thought. Very, very few fans on either side think it is “only “ a game.

It's 100% just a game. Just because you want bragging rights over your buddy that's a Scar fan doesnt change the fact that the people who actually control the outcome of the game know that it is just a football game. The players and coaches all have a mutual respect for each other because they know the amount of work it takes to compete at this level

Agreed. We all take it seriously, and we all want those bragging rights, but if you're at the point of wanting to physically harm a player or fan on the other side then you should reconsider your priorities.

If you believe this hogwash you are spewing about mutual love and respect between the two teams, simply watch the replay of Lou Holtz’s last game at Death Valley. Lot more than just a game going on there.

To be a champion or the best at what you do it's nothing personal it's just business. And Dabo's business is preparing the team the best he can to win no matter who they're playing.

So did we have 80,000 or however many at the game in 2017 that were South Carolina fans throwing things on the field, or was it a few dozen or less?

The problem with throwing things comes strictly from a portion of the student section.
However, the problem with the rest of the 80,000 is defending the student section's behavior.
If I had to set an over/under I would say that a few dozen would fall into the under for how many threw stuff from the student section.

scoreboard than getting into a major discussion about them throwing things.
They have to fall back on "loser" things like throwing things, etc.

At the end of the day it’s just a game. I love my Clemson football, but a heart attack and 3 kids taught me that at the end of the day it just doesn’t matter. Dabo takes the approach in preparing for each game like each team is nameless and faceless. Of course he knows the importance of this game. State championship, bragging rights, and also a game that must be won to make the playoffs. Losing this game has huge consequences, but you still prepare like it’s any other game. It’s what has kept Clemson consistent and elite.
There are plenty of classless Gamecock fans just like there are plenty of classless Clemson fans. College kids do stupid stuff. It’s a universal truth. If our students were located near the opposing team you would see just as much crap from our students.

Checks notes:
Opposing teams do warm up in front of our student section.
We don't see this kind of crap from our students.

Our fans have thrown stuff on the field as well. I think there’s a video from like 2012 where we did it.
I know a lot of Carolina fans and I don’t know one that would do that. It’s mostly drunk college students and every team has them.

Listen to yourself.
You just brought up 1 incident from 7 years ago to compare Clemson to something that happens at scar multiple times per season.
Do the coot fans you know defend the "drunk college students" like you just did?
There is not a good excuse for throwing things at other people trying to play a game.

Well... we complain about them flipping the bird, yet I remember several instances (every single year) of the entire Clemson student section doing the Tomahawk Chop with middle finger extended and chanting F the Seminoles.

Yep...and the C-L-E-M-S-O-MFing-N is about as classless as it gets IMO.

Cussing does not equal throwing things at players.
