Clemsoning

Now that CU has overcome the dreaded label, which team picks up the title? I personally like the sound of Soonering or Trojaning.

That trend needs to die. It is a childish insult no matter where it is directed.

Pretty unprofessional by the journalists IMO
That was the root of “Clemson complains about the media”

The media would only do that if another small school threatened

their favorites.
The intent is to negative recruit to try and keep top players from going there and protect the large media market blue bloods that they love.
So maybe a school like Baylor if they start getting uppity.

You are an idiot for even bring it up. It is an insult to the 18-22 year olds kids at Clemson. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. And if you thinks those idiots at esecpn aren't foaming at the mouth to bring that term back-you are more of an idiot than I thought you were.

Tommy Bowden gave us that tag. Hope this is the last time I ever see or hear that word used. The media sports casters were too chicken to say we choked because they would have been viewed as unprofessional, so they used the C word instead, knowing everyone would know what it meant. Tommy and the AD and the University President should have called them out on it. It was demeaning and disrespectful. They did not demean any other team w/similar chit.
Yeah. It dissed me to hear that word and how we were singled out.
Rant over.

What people need to understand about "that term" is it was NOT rooted in Clemson losing close games or even Clemson losing to lesser opponents. The term was strictly rooted in jealousy of Clemson, yes jealousy. The media has long been jealous of Clemson's aura and tradition long before the recent run of success. It's easy to be disrespectful to a school that you ALREADY DISLIKE. The reason for the smug attitude of Clemson probably dates back to at least the 1981 season and most likely even before that. The "public excuse" for using the defamatory term was the close losses, but the jealousy and even out-right hatred was there for decades.
