Will this be a long list? My name not entered BTW so don't start the count at "2".
Or give me a TU if you think the "Pumper" tag is a mechanism used only by the so-called "dumpers".

“Sunshine Pumper” is merely a label created by people who tend to be negative to place on those who tend to have a more positive outlook. I don’t care what anyone calls me. I’m going to have a positive attitude and enjoy my life. I am realistic about things but tend to focus on the good things because that keeps the not so good things from lingering.

To me it’s like when someone calls me a redneck intending it to be an insult. I just smile and tolerate their ignorance because they obviously don’t understand a good thing when they see it.

Cults thrive on blind obedience and unquestioning loyalty. Cult leaders are often charismatic and skilled manipulators. They know how to use language, body language, and other tactics to control and influence their members. They also use fear and shame to keep members in line and prevent them from questioning the group’s beliefs and practices

In the football thread, a dumper is also a Judge Keller.
So it is possible to be both things at once.

with the same dozen or so topics that get endlessly discussed in different angry ways - F&F, nepo, portal, NIL, player development, coaching, coaches, coach salarries, S&C, playcalling, presser content, what other schools are doing that we're not, etc...............................
The daily dumpers have pretty much passionately covered everything. Most of it is ok, but character assassination is probably crossing the line. We need some less volatile viewpoints. I'd say the pumper/dumper ratio is probably 70/30, but the dumpers are way more vocal.

but I think to be called a dumper or pumper, folks have to post and that is where it becomes one-sided in the dumpers favor. Plus, there is little sunshine to pump so the folks with less negative attitudes won't be posting.

At this moment, not knowing the roster or coaches for 2026. I am believing for a National Championship, a heisman trophy winner and Dabo to be named national coach of the year. Pumper I guess?

Great Post clover65 🐅🐅🐅.
You can call me a sunshine pumpers if you want but it comes down to what type of person I am. I am a positive person who lives with hope. I feel like those who lose Hope are really sad people. For those people I pray God will help them find hope again. It gives you a reason to live believing that better times are ahead.
Dabo relies on his Christian Faith to give him Hope through difficult times. IMO, Dabo is the Head Coach these kids needed this year after failing to live up to all of the preseason hype.
Many of these kids never lost hope. This is why they could finish with 7 or 8 wins after loses to LSU, Syracuse and Duke. I agree with Dabo this team has the Heart of a Champion.
Many successful people even millionaires have gone through adversity and failures in life. But believing in hope they eventually came out on top. You should read about Chris Gardner “ The Pursuit of Happyness “ movie about his life story. A man of hope and courage who refuses to lose hope. His true life story covers much more than the Hollywood Version.
Because of Dabo’s positive influence, Our kids learned to believe in hope even though games like Duke when Clemson had a win snatched away from them in the last seconds of the game due to incompetent officials.
Many players learned from this game that life is not always fair. But you continue to fight, and you continue to hope and believe in a better future.
During this season’s adversity what would Dabo have accomplished by further embarrassing his team by admitting that at times they have played poorly, and they have lost games they should have won. These kids did not need to be reminded of this season’s poor performance and failures. They knew it firsthand and they hurt from constantly knowing what could have been.
This is where a great Coach like Dabo finds the positives out of a bad situation so he and his staff can use these adverse experiences as teaching moments about life. How to overcome adversity and failures. I sincerely believe many of these kids will become stronger, better, successful Men when they leave Clemson because of what they as a team accomplished in 2025.
I am guilty of this too. Unfortunately during seasons like 2025 fans only think about themselves and how frustrating and disappointing this season was for us. We have a tendency to take out our frustrations on the coaches and the players. As fans I think we can become spoiled and selfish forgetting that these kids and coaches will live with the disappointments and lack of potential accomplishments in 2025. They will remember this season longer than many fans will.
I guess I am a sunshine pumper because of my Christian Faith, believing in hope that life will get better going forward. I love Clemson, I am “ All In “ with Dabo and I am grateful for Clemson’s successes under Dabo’s leadership.
And like most Clemson fans I am disappointed in this season. At the same time I feel good about this team that could still win 8 games if we include the BG.
Go Tigers !!!

So a person who isn’t a pumper is sad and has no hope? Lol, that’s a pretty big leap don’t you think? We’re talking about college football and how our team is being run.

Referring to life in General. I never said disappointed fans were sad people with no hope. But there are some, but it’s not just about football. Some people are optimistic some people are pessimistic no matter the circumstances.
Some people are pretty negative about Dabo and the team. Some fans would be happy if Dabo resigned or was fired. Some like me feel he needs support for recruiting and to encourage players to come to Clemson.
I was basically stating “Why should Dabo beat up the team in a press conference. What does it accomplish ??
I was trying to get fans to support and encourage the coaches and the players during difficult times.
I never indicated fans who did not support the team were sad hopeless people. And if you notice I included myself as a frustrated disappointed fan this season.
