Seems like that fanbase has divided into two separate


Nov 25, 2019, 1:56 PM

types of people, there are no shades of grey. First you have the more normal ones, who basically pretend they aren't even Gamecock fans. And they may very well not be anymore, I dunno. I would have a hard time GAF if Clemson were as bad as USC currently is and the administration was saying/doing the things they are.

Second, and this is the category most of them fall in, are the insufferable losers. They'll take little jabs at our schedule, call Dabo a clown and insinuate he's doing a bunch of illegal ####, and act like Clemson is a third world country or something. "Dabo an the taters lil cowtown football program couldn't make it in the SEC HERP DERP"

I've had these asssholes make comments to me while at the gas pump, they're just generally the type of people who could use a good ### beating. They probably alienated most of their friends and family with their 'fear the thumb' antics a few years ago. Now they want to act like you punched a def and blind 7 year old in the face whenever you (rightly so) mock their dumpster fire of a program. It sounds like Sapakoff falls into this category.

I'm sure the football team is fretting mightily over the name of an old building on campus. That's why we can't seem to win any games. Everything is horrible at Clemson. Racism abounds. The university is a pox on our state.

He's just mad because without pitchfork Ben, USC would suck all by itself in the state. Sorry I clicked the link really.

And I guess that shows I live by my advice. If I want to learn about communism I'd read Das Kapital. And I did. If I wanted to know about socialism I'd read something by Charles Fourier and the like. And I did.

If I want to know about how you can believe BS, I read Plato's Allegory of the Cave. THAT is one of the best things anyone can ever read. Bar none. Especially in today's environment.
