I'm a true Clemson fan


Sep 17, 2015, 10:33 AM

If we was to play the number 1 team in the nation and all of our fans say we're not gonna win we're gonna get beat. I would tell them they wrong and tell them Clemson gone win because I believe in my team. For the next couple of years we're gonna be a great team and I'm gonna always feel like we're unstoppable no matter who we play. I just believe in my team.#ibleedorange#truefan# Go Tigers

I'm one of the biggest Clemson fans around, not just football, but in every aspect. They didn't have my major, so I had to go elsewhere. That doesn't make me any less of a Clemson fan though.

I was accepted to the school and almost went for a different major JUST to be at Clemson, but I knew I would be in a much better place to go to a different school who had a great program in the major I wanted, so that's what I did. That won't prevent me from going to 4 home games this year though!

went to Clemson. Based on the two, you would think it was the other way around. My dad loves CU and gives lots of money to the university... some in tuition costs for his sons, but also to IPTAY as a basketball and football season ticket holder.

He is as real a Clemson fan as it gets. People who think you can only be a Clemson fan if you graduated can shove it. We don't need that kind of elitist attitude. I am a proud graduate, but welcome any person nationwide to partake in cheering for our team.

Re: So choosing to go to a public university and not going to


Sep 17, 2015, 2:02 PM [ in reply to So choosing to go to a public university and not going to ]

That has to be the single dumbest argument I've ever heard. Assuming your being 100% serious. You don't wanna see that team win any more than I do. You don't scream and cheer and get pissed off when they lose any more than I do. Your degree from Clemson university isn't a football degree. If you don't invest time, (outside of attending games) sweat, or anything to do with the team that argument is null. You attend to get a degree for YOURSELF, not for a team. So fans of pro teams are just supporters? Cause the Falcons, or Bulls or Braves don't have a university. I'd love to see you argue that with several older gentleman I work with who didn't attend Clemson university but haven't missed a home game in 30+ years. They were in Miami in 1981 cheering on the Tigers. So no, you or anybody else aren't bigger or more true fans than them or me. My wife graduated from CU in 2008 and she rarely watches games on TV much less in DV. My dad, uncle and several good friends of mine went there and they don't keep up with any of it, they ask me the latest on news or recruiting. My dad hasn't been to a game in 15 years. My uncle went to a game 2 years ago and that was the first time since 1995. You have zero argument.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You sound like a great supporter and patron of Clemson.


Sep 17, 2015, 2:09 PM

The reason I'm a true fan is that I sat through those classes in Martin Hall. I LIVED IN JOHNSTONE AND BREATHED AND SMELLED THE BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS AND URINE OF THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE ME!

When I am called to be a corporate speaker, you know what it says in my bio? IT SAYS GRADUATED SUMMA ### LAUDE FROM CLEMSON UNIVERSITY! It doesn't say Francis Marion, it doesn't say Lander, IT SAYS CLEMSON BY-GOD UNIVERSITY! That's PR that I couldn't provide without my Clemson diploma.

These are all things that a lot of people wouldn't get. So yes, enjoy our university. We welcome you. We're glad to have you here and appreciate you spending money on tickets, and we love having you and your family as supporters.

Re: You sound like a great supporter and patron of Clemson.


Sep 17, 2015, 2:33 PM

Your crossing two things into one. Smelling other people's pee and sleeping in a dorm and attending classes benefits YOU. That diploma has your name on it. It has NOTHING to do with a football team. You didn't study football, you didn't cut the grass at the stadium. Your diploma benefits you and your personal life. Your college tuition funded the university, not athletics. So no, your 100% wrong. You didn't pick CU because of the football team, you picked it for an education to benefit you. You need to look up the definition of a fan, because it's totally different from the definition of a graduate. You might have a greater love for a town, or a dorm, or a cafeteria or library, but not for a team. Terrible argument. If it makes you feel better, than so be it. But it doesn't make you a better or bigger fan than me. Sorry.

I've been working with Dan R and others on this....

Walking from the AOC around to the south stands, then around to enter between sections E and F, and THEN having to go down several steps to get to row G isn't easy.

Yes the parking is good but we've been hoping to just cut across the 50 to get to our seats. Right now it looks like they may just pick the stadium up and give it a half turn in order to accommodate us, which seems like a lot of trouble to me.

See, that's why I debate on actually using my WEZ seats


Sep 17, 2015, 3:24 PM

I have 8 together but usually it's just me, one of my girlfriends, and a college buddy (fellow grad) or two. Can't make sense of sitting in the WEZ because we never need all 8 seats.

The advantage of the WEZ though is I can have one of my workers take ice cream up there for me the day before the game and that way I get my favorite kind AND don't have to wait in line, let alone eat those nasty kids DOTS things.

Normally we just use the 4 on the 50 though.

Maybe if I actually sold the 8 in the WEZ I could donate the money to a good cause, like helping some of the poors get seat backs or something.

I guess not all grads can go on to be uber successful. We need non execs/upper middle class in this world as well.

#s 1 and 2 I agree with, also the AOC on #3. I think we are being a bit inclusive at Lot 1 and 2 though.

Not really sure though, I rarely stray from the AOC on gamedays. Everything I need is usually in
my Mercedes so I don't have to go around mooching off others.

Wow! This conversation is sad. FAN means fanatical. If you love clemson football, you are a fan of the team. I love chesse, but can I only be a true fan if I went to Wisconsin? I graduated from Coastal Carolina, but I grew up in Clemson. My dad worked at the university and my mom and brother graduated from there. Is this good enough for your standers. Today is game day!!!

We've only been debating REAL fan versus not REAL fan.

And yes, you have to graduate from hear (Clemson) in order to be a REAL fan. If you love chesse AND graduated from Wisconsin, then you are just an alcoholic midwesterner.

You guys are so funny. Smug is the right word. Considering I almost grew up on campus with my mom, I would say your pee and crap argument blows. I thinks it's great you guys graduated from Clemson. Sometimes I wish I did as well. But the fact is if fan mean fanatical, then true fan must mean fanatical as well. You cant be more of something. This is the last thing I will say. Have fun stroking your egoes, because if you graduated from Clemson and go to games you are better. On a happier note, go Tigers!!!!!!!

However, if you are one in the first place, it certainly boosts your relationship with the university, thus raising your fan status.

I went to Clemson and being from out west I was never a Clemson fan until I was 18 and enrolled. I didn't even understand how big college football was in South Carolina. I didn't understand how hooked I would get. 28 years later I am still a fan. Anyway, some people that didn't go to Clemson have been fans since they could walk. They are real fans in my opinion. I have a good buddy who was raised in Charleston and who is a die hard Clemson fan. That said, he went to Columbia Univsersity. He is still a huge Clemson fan. I think if you love Clemson than you are a true fan.
