Ray Ray McElrathbey update

Ray Ray McElrathbey update

It is important to reiterate that neither Clemson nor the ACC had the authority under the current NCAA legislation to interpret the rules any differently than was initially applied. Full Story »

"Ellison (Clemson director of compliance) said the ACC office told her McElrathbey's situation 'is a sad story, but not unique'". "'They said there are other student-athletes within our conference that have to deal with the same things'"(August 29th, Post and Courier) Then Swofford says, "The circumstances surrounding this situation are unique and deserve a special look from the NCAA. The ACC is in full support of the waiver". I hope that the ACC publicity office reads this and gives me a call (704-578-4872). You guys suck, and are only trying to cover your butts from an outlashing by the media. To reiterate, John Swofford, you stink, and you have never had the interest of Clemson or the ACC schools south of North Carolina in mind, ever. God Bless you Ray Ray, we are praying for you.

I am glad the ACC is changing their tune, but Swofford is

F-O-S. Maybe the P&C "misquoted" them, but I doubt it. The ACC office could not be satisfied originally with simply stating the the assistance would not be permitted. That had to add emphasis and state that Ray Ray is not unique and belittle the challenge he has accepted. No doubt if Ray Ray was at UNC, Swofford would have personally nominated Ray Ray for a Nobel Peace Prize or Humaintarian Award. What a pompus, hipocritical sack he is. (I guess I did not hold back my opinion any.)

I can assure you that you are not doing Ray Ray or Clemson University any good by trashing the conference commissioner on the internet. Personally I think Swofford had done a good job especially in expanding the league (which his alma mater wasn't to fond of I might add), but you are cerainly entitled to your opinion. Just please don't think you are doing the University or any of it's players any good by trashing the man.

Very, Very Excited. Very, Very Proud.


Swofford is a tarhole and a bum....


Sep 1, 2006, 11:34 AM

There is a laundry list of reasons but here are the first few:

1. As AD at UNC, he led the charge by the ACC to add an extra year of probation to the NCAA imposed penalties on Clemson in the early 1980s.

2. After the "brawl" against South Carolina, he attempted to give our players multi-game suspensions the next year (along with a bowl ban) but thankfully Dr. Phillips stood tall and refused to let him do it. Look
at the penalties he imposed on us versus those he imposed (none whatsoever) against FSU in their pre-game brawl against Florida and Miami in their post-game brawl against LSU.

3. The favoritism he shows for UNC is Thursday night game scheduling. UNC has never hosted a Thursday night game on campus despite the ACC making a rule that each school has to host once every two years, if ESPN
requests.

4. The way he has allowed Mike Martin and the NAACP to strong-arm him into no longer having the ACC baseball tournament in SC. Correct me if I am wrong, but did the NAACP not agree to the compromise of removing the
Confederate flag from atop the State House dome to somewhere else on the grounds? If it were the state of North Carolina would he really allow the NCAA to brow-beat a member institution over an issue that they have
zero control over?

5. His refusal to publicly reprimand officials who time and again make blatant errors in games involving Clemson, including:

-He failed to fire Rick Hartzell after his comments prior to the 95 or 96 UNC basketball game in Chapel Hill where we proceeded to "commit" 41 fouls to UNC's 9 and finish the game with 4 players.

-He allowed Jimbo Howey to continue to be an ACC official despite his well-known connection to USC and the Gamecock Club after several bad calls against Clemson including most notably the pass interference call in 98 at UVA that allowed UVA to win the game.

-He refused to fire Jim Knight, Ron Cherry, Mike Wood, and others who have shown their blatant incompetence, and favoritism on Wood's part,time and again. The examples are too numerous for me to list.

6. His refusal to even entertain helping Ray Ray (or at least his underlings' refusal) and then lying about it and bow to media pressures...

I could go on and on.....

Nothing more than a weasel who has worked actively to hurt Clemson and further his alma mater. JDH summed up all the reasons nicely as to why we shouldn't have any love for the man.

Don't forget, also, the 1999 football game vs. NC State... although the officials were suspended, there should have been more.

I am not trying to help the university or Ray Ray's situation by my previous post... I would just like to state the obvious... if the guy above didn't help me in his list of Swofford (nice facts by the way), I would like to add that ACC expansion was pushed by the presidents of the universities, not Swofford. Moreover, it was requested by Clemson and Georgia Tech in the 90s. Lastly, our President, Jim Barker, was the head of the president committee in charge of researching and appointing the 3 new schools to the conference. You can thank Prez. Barker for ACC expansion, not John Swofford.
