News media SNUBBBBBB!!!!


Nov 28, 2016, 7:44 AM

Is anyone noticing the sports media snubbbb of Clemson....ESPN & ESPNU.... And others often don't mention our team near as much as big 10 or SEC teams nor do they mention Deshaun Watson for Heisman very often......Is this a snub of a conservative school that doesn't have designated cry areas? I'm tired of observing the phenomenon in politics...it needs to stop when related to college sports!!!!!

Well, you could start by not injecting your politics into it.
Maybe avoid portraying the University as an entity that promotes your political lean while you're at it.

Please explain to me the logic then...in the deficit incurred to Clemson Sports with the news media...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Well it has nothing to do with your political leanings...


Nov 28, 2016, 5:47 PM

We've always been snubbed by the national media. Mainly because we are the football school in a town that is very small in the middle of nowhere in a rural state. They don't get us (and that has nothing to do with political leanings), and that's fine. It makes it all the better when we succeed and prove them wrong. Also, we played a role in the weakening of the SEC. This happened just as ESPN and Fox sign huge contracts with the SEC. So we have hurt there bottom line as it has turned out they overpaid for SEC broadcasting rights.

Nov 28, 2016, 7:51 AM

Huh??? Please don't bring politics into this type of conversation.

The reason for the lack of mention is that there is a general consensus that Clemson's in and there isn't much left to discuss beyond that. Other conferences are a hot mess and that's why they are being talked about so much.

Give it a rest.

Re: News media SNUBBBBBB!!!!


Nov 28, 2016, 8:05 AM

I tend to agree that the current snub is due to the big 10 playoff not including OSU. The media is trying to gen up a story that will play off people's emotions (at least PSU and Wisc fans) and, thus, generate more media buzz. The same way the media attacked Trump every day prior to the election.

However, do not make the mistake of thinking sports is not a place for politics. Most of the people we listen to on radio or watch on TV try hard not to reveal themselves as bleeding heart liberals, but most are. The liberal BS promoted by ESPN is ridiculous.

It would not surprise me if there a exec somewhere in ABC or ESPN that doesn't like Swinney's faith and thinks Clemson is nothing more than a bunch of uneducated rednecks in a "red" state.

Re: Anybody that doesn't think politics is in sports is

Very true, but imho not in play here. It is about ESPN and the money making machine. They very much influence the CFP rankings. For example having Michigan and OSU facing off as #2 vs #3 generated millions more in revenue because millions tuned in. Why? Because there are millions more followers of those two schools between say the Pittsburgh market and the Chicago market than there are Clemson fans between say Charlotte and Atlanta. Also not to mention the Michigan and OSU fans outside of their home market. Also a disadvantage for Clemson. Alabama is geographically similar to the Clemson market, but they are like a Notre Dame or Southern Cal. Millions have heard of them and will tune into their games. So the snubbing is more about ESPN wallet fattening than anything else.

The snub continues...coaches discussed on evening shows don't include Dabo. Much better to be humble and let the team results speak for themselves. Aaaand For the Heisman it's amazing how someone that plays full games ...runs up his stats and loses his last two is still the leader.....Deshaun stay humble and keep her going:)

Fox sports panel of their little " college football playoff" didn't watch more than 5 minutes of it.
Why? all Big Ten discussions and the fact that their main anchor stated that " Clemson avoids the upset bug in Death Valley" What???? This guy hasn't been watching football, hasn't been watching the methodical play and development of this team. These media guys from Fox can run their mouth, just like SEC guys can. However, it's seems the ACC leads in offense ( again ) this year VS the SEC. As Far as Cowherd, He's just one that picks up the latest game and gives a team a quick once over, so you can put him in the ignorant crowd also. I wish these guys would watch these games, before putting their bias, AL, SEC, OSU, OK, ETC. rules in everything they say. They might would have some credibility some day, but now's the day, nor will the bid to the playoff's be. They will be underdog again. But who knows How far these Tigers can go this year.

ESPN is absolutely ignoring Clemson because it's in a conservative-leaning area. ESPN is really making it too blatant by snubbing Clemson, while focusing on teams in the liberal paradises of Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Ohio, and Michigan.

They only mention us when they absolutely have to or when they have an opportunity to knock us. If things are rolling for us almost no mention and the mention is how team-X is terrible or how Heisman Candidate-L had such a lead that with 3 garbage performances in a row is too much for the Real Deal Watson to make up with an additional 4th huge game in a row.

I am also sick of hearing how a two B1G schools who are not in the running for the B1G Championship are so much better than the rest of the country, not named Bama. If OSU or Meechigan was so darn good wouldn't at least one of them have a shot at winning the B1G this year? "Let's put 3 B1G teams in this year." They know they are full of it.

Colorado had Meechigan on the ropes in Anabor before Colorado's QB went out. OSU has lost one and been fortunate as heck to not lose 3 more. Hanging OSU's hat on beating OU, like Clemson hasn't curb-stomped OU two seasons in a row. Again, OSU has only beat OU, in conveniencing fashion, all season, the rest of their schedule is nothing/B1G hype!
