Re: TNET: Clemson releases statement on decision to host game against Stanford

My opinion here, but they shouldn’t have had brought in 80,000 fans to Clemson for the game yesterday. The local community needed the support the university could have provided, many of which are students and employees. The university put fans coming from all over the country over them. Sure some fans were already in town, but many drove in from places yesterday with power and water. The fact they are opening the university for the community today shows they should have done it yesterday. If Clemson fans can’t see helping others is more important than a $100 ticket, we need to understand what is actually important in life.

I hope everyone who reads this is safe today and if you are still effected, I pray power is restored and your damage gets repaired soon. We are One Clemson and we should all help each other in times of needs.

I’m a die-hard Clemson fan. I respect your opinion. Here’s mine. 1.The people that came to the game wouldn’t have come if they didn’t want to or thought it was too unsafe. Clemson University Didn’t bring in 80,000 fans. Fans chose to come. No one forced them. #2 The University DID use and give the support the community needed. They went forward with the game in a Stadium that has lots of Restrooms, and tons of Concessions that provide food, drink, snacks and water. Your statement,”The University put fans coming from all over the country over them.” (I presume “them” being Clemson). So yes, you are correct there. The University put fans/people Above Themselves (The University) by providing what I said at the beginning of this statement. #3 Clemson opening some facilities to the Community on Sunday should have happened yesterday. Community means what it means. It does not mean anyone from all of SC, NC Or California . Seems to me that by going forward with the game, the University offered help to more people throughout the State including some Stanford from California and fans that live in SC that I personally had conversations with yesterday! And we (my family, wife, myself, 2 children and a half-sister n law that lives in my house)are still without electricity at 1:55pm Sunday. At least it’s not hot outside today. I myself was at the game yesterday. I live 1hr and 45 from Clemson. I took 26 to 385 through Mauldin (of which still did not have electricity at 1am when I drove through coming home) got on 85 to 76 straight in to Clemson without any problems of trees, lines, poles or what have you. I had 2 tickets that I paid $50 a piece for in the West Endzone. The individual that sold me the tickets GAVE me the parking pass. I was in Clemson at 1pm. It was my intention to get there as early as possible even before the storm hit Thur. My son was supposed to come with me. Last yr he and I went to 6 of 7 home games. We had the best times together on those Saturdays and some wonderful memories from ALL 6 games were experienced and will hold in our memories for as long as God allows. And last thing here. Here’s what happened yesterday. I went to the game alone. My son choose not to come because his OVERLY OBSESSIVE WORRIER of a mother drilled it into his head that it was too dangerous for us to go. He’s 21, so he can make his decisions. I wasn’t angry at him for not going, still ain’t. Never will be. I am angry and T’d off at his mother, my wife, as he is our son. I was sad he wasn’t with me. But I still had a very nice day, walked around campus, went downtown, bought a few things and enjoyed the game. Seems to me that if I had 4 tickets (well, maybe 5-half sister n law 🙄🙄for yesterdays game) we all would have had a Much better time in Clemson than sitting around the house that has no electricity and/or working in the yard picking up limbs. That can always wait for another day. Which is today. God bless you. And I hope you are Well.

TNET: Clemson releases statement on decision to host game against Stanford

FSU wouldve let them fly in from Cali and then cancelled.***

Had it been a homegame against the coots it would have been canceled
