Number one rule of being a Clemson fan…..
Jun 24, 2012, 5:50 PM
|
|
You never, ever pull for the shamecocks. This "I would rather have it in state, than AZ" is BS and cootish behavior. Since when did Clemson fans lose their cajones?
Anybody that says they are pulling for the cooties in any sport, are not Clemson fans.

"Always pull for Clemson to win, always"
Rule #2 is "Never pull for USC to win" which has a tiny asterisk for any situation with clear 100% absolutely definable benefit for Clemson if USC wins. Even then it's tough

There's only one situation in which that would benefit us, and it's for USC to knock off a team above us in the rankings, late in the season, that allows us to get into a posh postseason spot. This applies mostly to football--say, if an SEC team was ahead of us in the BCS/BCS playoff system and USC was the only team left to upset them. In that case, USC beating that team would directly benefit Clemson, and I would root for that win. But actually I'd be rooting more for the other team to lose than USC to win. I find it practically impossible to root *for* Carolina in anything.

well it's a South Carolina team if it can't be Clemson. If they lose, though, I'd be much happier. It's college baseball for crying out loud. Now football is different. I never, in any situation, try to justify support for the Gamecocks to win any football game. I don't care who they are playing. OK, I might pull for the Gamecocks if they were playing the Taliban. But that's it, no others instances!

They're not the die hards, and you probably won't find many of them on a message board, but they are out there.

As for Notre Dame, I would personally wear a leprechaun costume all day before I would ever be happy about any coot success.

them to loose every game in every sport - including the annual blood drive.
Lose enough so that the coach roach stadium Willy Brice becomes a graveyard. Then they can fill it full of explosives and level it. The slums in the area may look better after that.

have a good team.
Some people on TigerNet want to act like Carolina's closing in on their 3rd straight CWS title just because they're lucky.
Sure, they've had some luck along the way but that's not why they're looking at number 3. They've got a good program.

Imagine a scenario where Florida, Oklahoma, and Clemson are all 10-0 going into the second to last weekend of the year. Florida is playing at South Carolina. As a Clemson fan you MUST root for South Carolina to win to help clear our path to the National Championship game.
Therefore, your statement that we must always root against South Carolina is 100% INCORRECT. You are wrong.
The number 1 rule as a Clemson fan is to always root for the best interests of Clemson University. If you feel differently you are a certified idiot.

Back in the early 60s we were competing with Duke, believe it or not, for an ACC Championship and they were upset by the chickens. A reporter asked Coach Howard if this helped Clemson.
Coach Howard told the reporter, "It never helps Clemson when South Carolina wins."
