Why did the paint look so faded? Last year vs. past Saturday? Grounds crew what the heck?

We noticed the Orange Paw was definitely very dull

End Zones looked ok but that Paw was certainly not as Orange as I would think it should have been.

We have had very little rain recently. Maybe that’s a factor?

Or maybe just maybe they just put down brand new sod and didn’t want to saturate it with paint the 1st time around and have it die right away.

well I suspect since it was on ACCN they didnt figure anyone would notice but it didn't look good. Clemson used to always have impressive looking field with a sharp painted end zones and paw. This was not a good look.

I believe they switched to a turtle friendly blend of paint that when it washes to the streams that lead to the creeks that lead to the rivers that dump into the ocean it won’t make the turtles tummies hurt. Sacrifices must be made.

Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis. Men at 60 play golf. Have you noticed as men get older their balls get smaller.

Well heck lets just get rid of orange all

Sep 9, 2024, 8:53 AM

Together and wear white. It would be appropriate since a lot of people call it the Valley. Could be a White Out like Penn State Happy Valley but just warning you could be viewed as racist especially by Rodney White. ; )
