Older clemson fans, will you answer the challenge?


Oct 2, 2012, 8:41 PM

I've noticed many seats in the season ticket areas being filled late, like just as the players run down the hill or right before or slightly after kickoff.

Get there early for GT, be loud be proud.

I'll Certainly Be There, but.........

You have to agree to:

1) Stop the "whoo hoo"

2) Use no more than 2 "FIGHT"s.

3) Agree that Purple and Orange are the proper and only school colors.

Clemson's official primary colors are Clemson Orange, Regalia (purple) and Fort Hill (white)

Us old guys have been penalized for making too much noise. Have you young guys had a flag thrown on you for yelling?

Us old guys have had opposing national championship coaches write letters before the game complaining that we made too much noise and disrupted the flow of the game. Have you young guys gotten any letters for being too loud?

Us old guys have seen the NCAA pass rules against us for making too much noise. Have you young guys had rules written against you because you yelled too much, too loudly or at the wrong time?

Don't worry about us old guys. You young guys should do something that everyone in the nation notices. When you do, then we'll talk.

BTW Dabo says this Saturday would be a good time for you young guys to make some noise.

Go Tigers!!

Agree you guys are loud, but don't act like the younger generation doesn't have lungs. We did break the stadium noise record in 2005, when some of us "young guys" were there.

What a game it was

I dont know when it did, but at some point it became popular to slam students on here on a regular basis. Seems like a weekly thing

partially tongue in cheek

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

My post wasn't intended to slam the students.


Oct 3, 2012, 8:38 AM

It was intended to challenge them, just as Dabo did, to show up early and stay the whole game making Death Valley a tough place to play.

I never suggested the students can't get loud at times. But the fact is the students come in to the valley late and often leave early. Obviously, Dabo notices it also.

You guys need to be the leaders. You're young and energetic. Death Valley will rise and fall with the student section. Instead of being offended that someone calls you out, prove them wrong.

Impressive


Oct 3, 2012, 7:45 AM [ in reply to Re: Older clemson fans, will you answer the challenge? ]

We are not saying the young fans are not loud, just taking credit for our own accomplishments. Plus, I don't think they measured noise levels in the 'olden' days, like the late 70's or early 80's. LOL

away from the ball and ask a ref for help with the crowd noise IN THEIR OWN STADIUM ! !

Have you young guys ever been a game interrupting force in an away stadium ?

We will bring the noise. Are you ready ?

Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.


Remember VaTech in the Valley early 80's


Oct 3, 2012, 7:36 AM [ in reply to Re: Older clemson fans, will you answer the challenge? ]

Don't remember the year, but it wasn't too long afterward that the noise rule was passed. I was there--will be in my seat early Saturday. We have a lot of good young fans as well. I just wish more students got to their seats a little earlier. This is a general problem, not going after this generation in particular.

The record may have been broken in 2005, but in the olden days, there was no upper decks either. Just noisy fans. People hated death valley.

Without a jumbotron, then get back to us old guys. Sure 2005 was a loud game, BC in 2007 was a loud game, but they use to be ALL loud games.

And we didnt need Queen to help us! Ask UVA or Boomer!

In the old days, the art of hand signals hadn't been


Oct 3, 2012, 8:38 AM

invented yet. Noise was disruptive because the QB had to be heard. It was impossible. Nowadays, the noise is impressive, but not really disruptive unless the OL is trying to listen to the snap count. Most of the time these days the OL just waits for the center to snap the ball before they move. Still, intense noise can be intimidating and may result in a false start.
