Clemson's fan base and how it has changed....

It doesn't take long to get on a board like this and see the wildly vicious attacks on a coach that has won 30 games in three years and is about to lead us to our second Orange bowl in three years. It also doesn't take long to realize that many of these fans are not like many of us who grew up traveling wherever Clemson went. Alot of us have become absolute spoiled brats (you know who you are you croakie wearing crybaby) that only #####. I say this, if you go to the Orange Bowl, then you can say what you want. If you don't go, then shut up, you are part of the problem. And don't ##### about money. The old solid Clemson fans would've made it happen regardless.

I'm not going to the Orange Bowl, nor would I have if we would have beaten SC. We (my wife and I) simply do not have the money to travel, nor can just take the time off work. If we did have the money, we would likely go. You must be pretty blessed if you don't think its a big deal to just take off from work and throw a couple of grand down and head to the Orange Bowl. Must be nice. But we live in the real world, and simply do not have that kind of money. It does not make me any less of a fan.

where money doesn't have a direct impact on whether or not a Tiger fan travels to Miami or not. I'm not sure what he wants us to do to "make it happen"....

I don't think he is saying you should go

But if you don't go or donate money to the school then you really have no right to complain.

What if I spend money on attire that the school gets royalties for and buy regular season tickets and weatch games to increase ratings and advertise for said school by wearing said apparell? Does that count or do I have to be rich to have a voice?

Sure you get a voice. But what benefit are you doing for the program if all you do is complain. Building a winning program takes more than wearing a t-shirt or taking every opportunity to tear down that program. I would argue that those that contribute financially or otherwise ought to have the power to effectuate change. Alabama and Texas aren't fighting over Nick Saban because some Alabama fan or Texas fan wears a t-shirt. College football is about the almighty dollar. It's hard for me to listen to people complaining on here day after day when all they have to offer are complaints. This is a BCS bowl.

You apparently only key in on the complaints. If it bothers you that much you shouldn't waste your time on message boards.

Well I spent enough $ on my daughter's CU education (a good investment I may say) to have grumble rights now and then.
I also think someone can be a fan w/o attending, sending, etc.

I say if you didn't go to the last one, you have no reason to talk. There was no one there. Quite pathetic actually.

They should look at what happened to Tennessee - Karma is a beatch.

coots who pretend to be Tigers and they are banned. The negativity towards the coach, players, fan base,etc. is rare. Anyone who thinks a message board is indicative of the mood of a fan base is naive. Way too many imposters are allowed to dissent on this site, and to do so under the guise that they are Tiger Fans. If is really the only thing I detest on this site. I could put up with Gamecock fans coming on here and stating that Dabo is a terrible coach,etc. As long as the poster was clearly recognized as a COOT. Well, we regulars absolutely recognize them, but the occasional viewer does not.
