To all you ####### who don't understand CLEMSON FAMILY
Mar 26, 2014, 7:57 AM
|

Yeah, we rushed the court...and we rush the field...and we'll rush whatever the #### we want to...when we want to because we're CLEMSON.
We're not just spectators, not just observers; We're part of the game, we're part of a FAMILY. The young, the old; the black, the white; the men, the women; the pumpers...and even the dumpers. We're all Tigers...we're all FAMILY.
Unlike the TA&Ms of the world, our players go to classes on campus, the same classes other Clemson students go to. (And unlike the UNCs of the world, those classes actually exist.)
They're our friends, they're our FAMILY.
Yeah we rush courts, because we want to celebrate with them. We want to congratulate them for working hard and playing hard and makin' our FAMILY proud.
You see, it's not about the competition, it's not about the magnitude of the game, it's all about CLEMSON.
No, we know you don't understand it...and we know you'll never understand it, and we don't CARE that you can't understand it. It's not about you; it's not about them; it's about CLEMSON.
Joe Sherman understood it...R.C.Edwards understood it, Brad Brownell and his players certainly understand it. We ALL understand it. Because we are CLEMSON. We ARE FAMILY.
So one more time: yeah, we rushed the court...and we'll rush the court again...and again...and again. Get over it...or don't. That's who we are...that's just 'how Tigers roll.'

I enjoyed seeing KJ thanking every student who

congratulated him and patted him on the back. Even while making it through the handshake line with the other team he turned and thanked everyone.
Our players get it, our coaches get it, we as fans get it, personally I couldn't care less about anyone else.

A team with no seniors, building on a good year, being sent off to MSG. Possibly KJ's last game in LJ, and a very hard fought win in a packed house. Plus it's a tradition...so why would it matter that it was only the quarterfinals of the NIT?

understand the significance of a win. Yes, it was a win in the quarterfinals of the NIT, but is that okay for the future? If KJ is leaving, there is no way this team rebounds and has just as a successful year as this year, next year.
I went to a university that has won national championships in basketball. Trust me, I know what its like. Whether or not I went to the university or not, I am probably just as big of a fan as you.

The tradition of gathering at the paw to connect and sing our alma mater may be more special to someone who attended. I'm speaking strictly about the singing of our alma mater. Other than that I agree, not attending Clemson doesn't make anyone less of a fan.

But watching hockey instead of Clemson's NIT games certainly makes them less of a fan than 90% of those on this site.

is something a Robert Earl Keen family would do.
Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store
We need some ice and an extension cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
A box of pampers, some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
NIT Champions the Clemson Family!!

I wouldn’t worry about what other idiots think. AS long as we’re safe with it and its all in good fun I have no problem. But I think we all know it will one day come to an end because of some moron on the left coast that gets punched by a player because he gave him a wet willie. So lets have fun with it while we can. I thought about the fact the we rushed it after Belmont in the NIT but thought to myself, who freakin cares, it was a close game our guys EARNED that win and it’s the last home game of the year….. why not celebrate the victory with our players and coaches and send them out on a great note!! I’m all for it. Its fun to be a Clemson student and to make the most out of the moment. Keep it rolling and GO TIGERS!

"Court-Rushing-Smack-Talk" is the champaign of Haterade
Mar 26, 2014, 10:14 AM
|
|
If you are a grown man covering college sports and you see fit to mock a bunch of college kids for being too enthusiastic, you suck.
Paul Finebaum sucks.
We owe no one else some arbitrary level of decorum. "Act like you've been there" for a bunch of college fans is a joke.
We were picked 14th in the conference, finished sixth and OUR team's hard work is being rewarded with a trip to MSG. We don't have to justify our students' excitement to anyone after the last game of the season in Littlejohn.

ESPN and Finebaum won't even remember it next week. The little kids down on the court will remember it forever.
The world preaches diversity while they're telling everyone to be the same. Clemson will never be the same. It's unique.

Just like when our neighbor use to question my mom about what ever went on at our house all the time. My mom got sick of her asking, and one day my mom told her. What goes on in my house with my family ain't none of your ### business. Well that is what I say to all those who are not a part of the Clemson family. Stay the H&ll out of our business. You will find that you have more than enough to do by tending to your own ### business.
