Student section chanted F*** you Auburn...
Sep 2, 2012, 6:40 PM

Not something I expect out of Clemson. I was sitting with a group from an Campus Organization. There also was an Auburn grad sitting with us. Needless to say, they didn't sit there much longer.
It didn't get any better after the game either, most were taunting the Auburn fans outside the stadium. This is something I expect from Scar, but not from Clemson fans. I guess thats what you get when you have alcohol provided at the game.

I might be totally classless, but when I've got a little buzz from tailgating, it just becomes natural. Wasn't a part of the Auburn chant but have participated several times in the Seminole fchant. I also enjoy the "YOU SUCK! " when the GT band plays the Mortal Kombat theme.

I was in attendance and our student section chanted Fuuck you auburn, very loudly, a couple of times which I thought was out of character for us as clemson fans.

I was, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
Also, all (ok, most...) of the Auburn fans were classy both before and after the game.

majority of our student population has little to no issue with cussing, and if you want to eliminate cursing in the student section, you are going to have to change our admissions policies to that of Bob Jones.
This cheer wasn't started by Cheerleaders or some Clemson Faculty member, this was led by members of our University. You aren't going to change the college culture here by saying "Cursing is bad mmk".

Cursing when you stub your toe is one thing.
Chanting a cursing chant to an opponent is a complete other. AND UNCALLED FOR.
We are CLEMSON. We are BETTER than THAT.

People curse in Class at Clemson. It's become a part of college culture. A lot of people don't like it. I personally don't take part in most "Cursing" cheers besides the traditional "Da**** and win".
However, I have been in the student section at every single home game Clemson has had since 2009, and a good many away games. I have lived in our resident halls the same amount of time, and was an RA 2010-Sprint 2012. I know our culture. I had one student that screamed "ITS FRIDAY MOTHER ******s" every single Friday morning for the entire 1 semester he lived on my hall. Didn't know who it was till he left for Frat housing.
You want to remove the culture, our admissions department needs to go for different students. You can promote "child friendly" cheers all you want. Our students want something a little more... aggressive. And I'm of the opinion that in the student section, that is alright.

I curse a lot, especially around people who don't mind it, but I'm not going to use that language to people who don't like it or those I'm not sure about. You wouldn't speak to your boss like you would your RA would you?
Also, derogatory cursing is very disrespectful as well. Hurting yourself and saying f*ck is a lot different than telling someone to go f*ck themselves, esp unprovoked. There's no place for that.
How do you change it? You grow up and lead by example!

Sep 2, 2012, 7:27 PM

Our bosses cursed around us, and RA's cursed around them. Pretty sure my first years weekly meeting with our boss(a female) was at least 40% dirty jokes. I would never consider cursing in front a a boss outside of the college environment, and I'm sure most Clemson student employees feel the same way.
I'm just saying that the college environment is different than the rest of the stadium. I guarantee you 95% of the those that do the cursing cheers wouldn't do it in any other section of the stadium.

Best comparison I can make is hearing a cuss word at a theater coming from the screen, vs. coming from the guy sitting beside you. One is an unavoidable part of the experience like it or not...one is a recognizable real life person

Movies have rating systems to let the audience know what they might see or hear. If someone doesn't want to hear that language they won't see a PG-13 or R rated film. Not so much at a football game. Believe it or not, acting like an adult and being responsible can stop things like that. Maybe not right then and there, but there are things to do to prevent it in the future. It has to start with some students being smart enough to take a stand. At the very least just don't participate or don't condone it when you know it is wrong.

It's not about being "child friendly" ... it's about RESPECT
Sep 2, 2012, 7:36 PM

for an opposing fan base.
Chanting "F*** you Auburn" only makes the person saying it look like a classless fool who cares nothing about sportsmanship.
But, like most people who weren't raised right, they don't know how stupid and ignorant they look to the ones who were.

I personally have no respect for Auburn fans, but thats another issue relating to the last 2 years... I don't show that lack of respect through cussing, but I have no problem with those that do.

If you use profanity in a cheer, it's a slippery slope. Don't say I didn't warn you old farts.
