They've been wannabees forever. And it's totally understandable.
They've had to sit and watch Clemson evolve as an incredible university with REAL traditions ( esp. contributing to agriculture advancement in SC) and, of course, the strong military traditions that define a lot of our heritage/ personna ( Clemson sent the third most officers into WW II, after West Point and Texas A&M).
They've had to deal with the outright beautiful setting of our university, on a lake, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mts; as opposed to an inner city, sh*thole of a city and a campus with very few redeeming qualities, if any.
The cluckers are stuck with a stadium (aka the Cockroach) at a local fairgrounds. And Clemson with a magnificent stadium right on campus, interspersed with academic and dormitory buildings, easily accessible and a delight on Game Day. The setting is beyond wonderful.
And the best college FB entrance on the planet. Ain't no fire-extinguishers here...
Then there's the issue of our academics, which has been an especially sore subject for dirt peckers. Clemson always with higher SATs and more academic recognition ( ie. Top 20s, etc), coupled with many awards for such things as 'best game day experience', 'happiest students', one of the best Town and Gown relationships In America, higher entry level job salaries.
And there is always the 'legend' of The Clemson Man........who never needs an introduction.
And, of course, the Clemson Family..more real than legend.
There is something in these hills. We sense it, we feel it, people know it and the Cluckers fear it.
BTW, how many USuC women have been named Miss Universe or runner up at Miss America ( and clearly should have won it)?
And we have driven the cluckers to rage, hyperbole and hysteria over our success, the essence of which they can NOT comprehend. We must be cheating. New Springs gives players $$$. We're really NOT that good. The essence of comedic beauty...
National Championships: CU-TWO FB, one Golf, two Soccer. And from a little school in the foothills !
And our bowl history vis-à-vis USuC....really pretty embarrassing if you're a dirt ######>
USuC: total of 20 bowls played in; NEVER in a major bowl! Didn't win a bowl until ~ 1995!
Scary bad! One, yes just one conference championship ever !! YCMTSU
Clemson: Bowl history speaks for itself....USuC would be fortunate to duplicate it over
the next 200 years...
Clemson is like nowhere else.
I could go on and on. It's now wonder they hate us, feel inferior to us and have nothing better to do than to make up stories about Clemson to make themselves feel better or the least bit relevant in college sports, or the big scheme of things...
One more thing:
The average UsUC fan cannot begin to comprehend why a star athlete who could go pro and make a ton of money might want to stay at Clemson for a fourth year. We know why, they know why and the cluckers are clueless: it speaks to the wholesome environment that exists in Clemson athletics and especially the culture that Dabo has created. It's special, it's unique and we all can see why a young man might want to savor it for just one more time! USuC has never and will never be able to experience anything like what we're talking about here. It's a Clemson thing......Go Tigers
Rant over....................
