I usually don't make a habit of posting, but I felt compelled to post this. While the media and the ACC's tobacco road cronies continue to take their cheap shots at our university, I want to publicly thank Leroy Hill, Duane Coleman, Roman Fry, Nathan Bennett, Maurice Fountain, David Dunham and others who cared enough about their teammates,the sanctity of running down the hill, and Clemson University to stand up and fight for it. To heck with the politically correct movement that has castigated us over this overblown incident. This is very cut and dry IMO if you have ever played competitive football at any type of level you understand that when family (i.e. your teammates) are in trouble you go to their defense. What would have become of Justin Miller if he didn't have these guys to rush to his defense? I don't blame any of these student athletes for the role they played in the quote/unquote brawl. I thought #5 has lacked some judgement when it comes to dealing with the press, but hey its a free country and that's for another post. Sorry for the ramble but once again, thank you to those mentioned above. I'm sorry if I left anyone out, but I, for one, am one Clemson University alum who is extremely proud of your actions. Thank You

You have to worry about your own guys before you worry about all the media, administrations, and such. Our guys did the right thing for the most part. Screw the media and analyst that think they know everything. They were wrong at least three times last year. ( vs. FSU, USC, UT). GO TIGERS...THANK YOU SENIORS

We should've walked off the field but you cant leave player on the field to get his butt kicked.

Next year we need to start the tradition of allowing ALL Clemson students to line up on both sides at the foot of the hill and towards the 50 to prevent ANY opponent coming near our players as they run down the hill. I am sending my letter in the morning.

Sounds as safe as holding a match near a can of Gasoline

I do Love the idea tg, but I think the students pregame activites could hinder their judgement if someone came near em.

What do the "do-gooders" say they should've done instead?

That's what I can't figure out...no way were a bunch of competitive young guys going to let Lou's thugs have their way in the Valley.
