I'm in your house and I will not be disrespectful. However many people booed last night was too many whether it was 1 person or 40,000. I sit in the lower bowl and I don't believe it was half the stadium. Perhaps it was more than 10% but there is no way to quantify that. Your perception is what it is. It embarrassed me on many levels. I'm sure it sounded even worse having it directed toward your team.

When we visited Syracuse last year, your fans were nothing but gracious and welcoming to us. After I got home, I heard several Clemson fans tell of unpleasant experiences in your stadium and proceed to characterize your entire fan base negatively. I didn't argue with them but neither did I buy into their generalizations. I don't like the notion that we are being painted with the same broad strokes but I know how those things work.

I'm not going to try to excuse the booing or explain it away. It was inexcusable and it makes no difference what the people who did it thought they were seeing. It made us look bad. I wish your team nothing but the best for the rest of this season and until you play us again.
