some people are saying that clemson should stop some of their traditions they have had for years. these traditions make clemson who they are and none should be changed.

While I respect your opinion, it bothers me that you feel that just because something wasn't around when you were at Clemson then it is an insignificant tradition. There has never been a time that I can remember that we have not done the woohoo. Granted, I didn't start attending games regularly until I was in high school which was in the late 90s. But just because it hasn't been around since the beginning of the program, doesn't mean that it should be written off. There are thousands of young alumni who pour as much money into our beloved university as the older alumni. Please stop telling us that our traditions are insignificant or annoying. Thanks and Go Tigers!

the woohoo is insignificant, annoying, feminine, dumb and not a tradition.

Because their "traditio" is not allowing other traditions

i.e.:
"No younger tigers ever again can create their own traditions. It will ruin ours and so our traditions shall be the last and only ones in Clemson."

Wearing orange isn't really a tradition. Every school wears their teams primary color to games.

touche. I'm just curious how often that happens.

The woohoo is the only one I can think of, and yet anytime there is an idea for something new, everyone shuts it down immediately.

nothing wrong with new TG11, but there's usually resistance

from some, which is fine. BUT, i'm not a fan of change/new because someone wants to say they made a quarterly goal or to allow them to simply put a stamp on their tenure.
maybe they could have asked just current/former military & their families to wear purple so they are easily recognizable? i don't know how easy it would be to manage, but there was plenty of time to deliver the message.
idk. i don't see the issue, but do understand the hesitation by some.

I don't believe the intent was ever to disrespect the older generation.
At some point, it became a tradition and despite how much you may want it to, it's not going anywhere.

decide if others find it disrespectful no matter the intent and to your point, there are thousands that will continue to call it, "_______".
both sides can deal with it.

I believe I said from the very beginning that I respected the op opinion. I said it bothered me to have others write off a tradition that is a tradition to myself and many of my peers. I don't believe I ever said I find it disrespectful.
I guess I fail to understand why something should be gotten rid of just because it hasn't always been around. Tiger walk is an even newer tradition. Should we get rid of that as well? To my children, that is a tradition that they have always known. Does that make it insignificant?

Please stop telling us that our traditions are insignificant

or annoying.
Those are your words.
I consider that akin to disrespect and i think merriam would agree. Not trying to get into a pissing match, but nothing was 'created', but something, a long standing tradition, was bastardized in the view of many.
I'm not blaming you. You fell into this honestly; it's all you've known.
They're not talking about removing anything, they're talking about returning something that was in place to its original, sacredand intended form. Traditions are that aren't they? Sacred? You are telling people to bugger off and leave yours alone. It was never yours. You got spoon fed a hybrid, not the original.
It's a mutation, an abomination, a wrong that should have been righted long ago.
Ok, most of that was over the top BS, but stop the whining, grab a bucket, a mop and police your tears soldier.
They created nothing, save a lot of turmoil. It's not a tradition. It just is and things that just are when they shouldn't be aren't traditions, they're habits. and bad ones are meant to be broken.
