This is not Auburn, and we should have never worn Navy.

It's not our colors, and we shouldn't have done it. It's not a question of looks.

When I was growing up, our colors were Orange and White...
Aug 25, 2013, 4:10 PM

Used to yell Orange on one side of the Valley, and the other side would yell White...Our Spring Game was the Orange and White game and Iptay's newsletter was the Orange and White... The purple didn't come into play(with a few exceptions) until Tommy got here and and we signed with Nike... Regardless of it's place as an "official" color, purple came into vogue because Nike wanted to sell more gear... Purple being hard to dye or remain colorfast had NOTHING to do with the spring game, the IPTAY newsletter or the cheer we used to do...

Why pick apart the background? Focus on the only Ford ever made worth focusing on. Obviously the pic was chosen for Danny's look. Get past the rest

My Orange/PURPLE roots go all the way back to 1913 when the oldest uncle I knew graduated. I never wore navy & agree completely! Never forget who we are. Be Proud of the True Colors! (So what if it is harder to dye, just makes us more special) Love Coach Ford, can't wait to see what happens with him. I guess now I've got to learn how to use Twitter! RFB Class of '74.

I've recently gotten to know Mark Sturgis pretty
Aug 25, 2013, 3:10 PM

well through Mike that owns Smoke On the Water (where Mark does his remote broadcast's from on Thursday's) and sponsors Mark's show. Anyways, Mark and I were talking and he started telling me about this whole deal. Mark said someone from the Greenville News was at the meeting with Mark, Danny, and some other people that are working on getting this whole Twitter thing going, and later that day the guy from the Gville News tweeted that Danny, "Wasn't actually going to be the one writing the tweets". So, this obviously got back to Danny and, to put it nicely, didn't make Danny happy. Dannny said to Mark, " Teach me how to do this d### Twitter thing so I can make this guy look like the a-hole he is!" Danny being Danny....I love it! WWDD LOL! I'll personally start the Danny for president campaign. Love that guy!

I'd say Spurrier probably deserves an assist (with his spring SC coaches' clinic) for getting Danny back into Clemson football, LOL.

Spurrier couldn't hold Danny's jockstrap.

IMO, the only thing Danny would ever deserve to give Spurrier is a good country a$$-whipping. LOL!

Since Spurrier invited his long time buddy Danny to be the keynote speaker for the coaches clinic in April, the 'powers that be' in the Clemson Athletic Dept. have fallen all over themselves trying to get Coach Ford reconnected. Good! Should have been taken care of long ago, instead of relegating a legendary coach to a sometime guest and often time pariah.

year so you're probably correct. Should've happened a long time ago IMO. I just have a hard time seeing Danny hanging out with Spurrier.

Yeah, It's kinda strange, Danny and Stevie? Turns out they've been buds since their Clemson/Duke days, and hung around each other quite a bit during the early '90's, when Danny was with the hogs and Stevie was with the gators. I'm sure of one (longneck) thing they had in common, LOL!

that Spurrier prefers a wine spritzer. Danny....he'll take a Schlitz guaranteed! I actually found a pic of Danny hanging out with a buddy making fun of Stevie while he had his back turned!

No Disrespect

But why is Danny Ford's background twitter picture from one of the most embarrassing games/seasons in recent history? You can even see we were losing to USF in the background. Maybe change it to a picture from the Chick-Fil-A bowl from last year? I dunno.

I don't understand at all why they'd use that picture.

PURPLE
Aug 26, 2013, 11:33 AM

Orange/White/Purple were ALWAYS the colors of the Clemson I know, going back to the mid '50s, my earliest memories of ball games. Yes, Orange/White was the cheer & newsletter, but according to my father('32), uncles ('13, '24, etc), we are Tigers & that means we were always Orange & White & PURPLE. I never saw a Tiger with white stripes that wasn't a mutation. We always had season tickets to football games including bowl games & my father went as long as he was able. (He had season tickets to usc so he would make sure he never missed a Clemson/Carolina game) Point is, Purple has always been a part of the Clemson culture I knew, saw at games, while attending Clemson, etc. Saying Nike and Tommy are the reason Purple has meaning etc at Clemson is just wrong in my opinion(which isn't worth the price of a free cup of coffee).
