well... coming from a gamecock, i'll tell you why i hate clempson. first, the super gay team colors. orange and purple= 100% GAY. what grown man runs around town in purple? really think about that. purple? hahaha

second, i was born and mostly raised in atlanta. i got in a little trouble when i was 12 and i was shipped off to group home for troubled boys in newberry. when i got on campus i was wearing a uga sweat shirt and was immediately told to remove the sweater and burn it. later i was told that i had 2 weeks to pick my favorite team. clemson or usc. since i was a trouble maker and looked up to hard asssses... i chose the gamecocks. they wore all black jersey's, team motto was black death and the ole fire ant defense. i would read about gamecock players getting in trouble with the law, stealing tv's, ect. i was in love! most of the group home were gamecock fanatics. we all went to newberry academy and participated in sports. we were very good. too bad the academy didnt have a football team.

anyways, i grew up to hate clempson with a passion!like we would beat the crap out of anyone wearing orange. some of his went to jail and were kicked out of the group home. i was one of those kids that got the boot. long story short... i grew up, graduated high school, joined the marine corps, and enrolled to my beloved college USC. graduated in 2002. i will always hate clempson. especially while you have that insurance salesman for a coach. that guy really can put his foot in his mouth. embarrassing representative for your university.

Excited about the opportunity, he sent in his $35.00 tuition check and planned on starting classes that fall. He never made it. He fell from the second story of the family barn and broke his back the summer before his first semester. He survived the fall, but his future was in doubt. Consequently, the family contacted USC to let them know that my grandfather would not be able to attend classes that fall. USC noted his file, but refused to return the $35.00 tuition check. Now keep in mind, $35.00 during the depression era was a lot of money, especially to small farmers in Berkeley county. As a result, my grandfather never attended college.

There was a happy ending.

My grandfather went on to make a full recovery. He served his county in the European Theater during WWII, married my beautiful grandmother, and had two lovely daughters. When the time came for those daughters to go to college, they learned from my grandfather's experience and did not apply to USC. My mother decided Clemson was the place for her. She went on to earn two degrees from Clemson, where my father also earned two degrees. And when the time came for her children to go to college, not one applied to USC. All four earned a degree from Clemson. We are truly a Clemson Family.

I now have two children of my own. And when they are old enough, I'll be proud to tell them about their great grandfather and his lesson will be passed down to yet another generation.

Go Tigers!
