They picked a great day to see a lot of guys get on the field, and the crowd, from what I could tell, was pretty danged good for a really hot day against SCS which really is not much of a draw. Still, What a great place to be on a Saturday afternoon in the fall.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was just lip service by those recruits. I certainly hope they liked what they saw, but I can't remember the last time so few fans were in the seats for pregame, and I was disgusted by how many people didn't come back after halftime (don't even get me started on how people mostly stayed around for the Marching 101, and then Tiger Band played to empty seats). I KNOW it was just SC State, and I KNOW it was hot, but I've come to expect a lot more from our fans since the Chad Era began.

that god awful heat right? God people get the stick out of your #### and enjoy the game, stop policing and worrying about what others do so you can enjoy the game for yourself, if you sat there disgusted then I doubt you enjoyed the game, lighten up its the first game of the season and it's the game family's come to you can't expect the usual crowd for fsu or USuCk on that day when it's hot as helll and they called for rain all weekend

I've never done that before, but maybe I'm just getting older. It was freaking hot as heck. We were playing a team that should NOT be on our schedule. And it was a 12:30 kickoff.
You want fans in the stands? Play early season games at night when it's cooler. And schedule better.

disappointed when fans don't return after halftime. However, I can understand this time. It was brutally hot. I will give props to the ones who stuck it out but can fully understand the need to leave for the health concerns.

From myrtle beach this weekend. I stayed the whole game but she had to leave early bc she couldn't handle the heat. We were also sitting on the away side so the sun was glaring down on us the whole game. The only thing that really kept me there was the cheerleaders. Clemson has some very attractive cheerleaders

Sorry to disappoint you ...
My wife and I had to leave for our health. I have never had to do that before but I couldn't take the heat.
The game is important but Clemson games are family affairs and the fact that we all spend time together for the day is more important to me than the game.
I did come back for the 4th quarter to take my grandchildren on the field after the game. What a great atmosphere we have at Clemson!
Go Tigers!

physically can't take it...but if there were boo birds flying when Cole came out to QB, then I'm appalled at those fans...and they should go cheer for the coots.
That's pathetic. If I were a QB and like Cooper and heard the crowd booing there starting QB, do you really think I would want to be a part of that?
Those that boo...get bent, we don't want you...

yea I stayed until about 8 min left in 3rd Q. I had a 7 year old and 5 year old with me. They couldn't stand it anymore it was so hot. I enjoyed the game and prob would have stayed until at least the 4th Q but man I had to protect my kids from the heat.

who weren't very impressive by the way.
It was ungodly hot, I was in the upper deck where there is no shade whatsoever, an we were beating SC State like they stole something. Why would I stay in the stadium with no shade and drinks that are marked up several hundred percent when I could go back to my shaded tailgate and have all the food and drinks I want? I would've stayed if the game was any good, but it obviously wasn't worth it for me (or the vast majority of fans) to stay.
