Have you ever seen Syracuse swag being sold in a road game airport?

[Capt. Tuttle]

We need a special Shirt World Kiosk to open up outside all the inbound flights from the east coast this week.

Clemson fan, "How much is this Clemson shirt?"
Shirt World, "Just give me your credit card and we'll find out."

1/2 price meals at the Chop House

Aren't Clemson's color orange and purple? Clemson appears to be in either black or navy blue in image.

Serious Q. Just had a little kerfuffle on Twitter.

@SyracuseAirport tweeted a photo of one of their stores selling a bunch of Clemson gear. Basically like, "Hey did you forget your Clemson shirt? Buy one here!" I responded that it seems like a bad look and I had never seen that at a road airport before. Then Brent Axe basically was like, no it's good to be welcoming to road fans etc, and he had no problem with it.

I never said that we shouldn't be. Clemson fans are awesome. Give them high 5's (Otto is at the airport today). Invite them to tailgates. Talk football over a beer with them. That's all awesome. No issues. But selling them Clemson gear when they land in our airport? That seems a bridge too far and one that is 100% about trying to make a few extra bucks than it is about "being hospitable". And not that it's bad to try to make some $, but let's not act like it is all about being hospitable.

Anyway, I got some folks agreeing w me, but a lot disagreeing too...

Although ultimately @SyracuseAirport did take the tweet down.

(That said, if the social guy from the Airport is a member here - this wasn't about the tweet (it was actually a solid tweet) but about selling the swag there in the first place.)

My two cents. The airport is not the University. Not worth trying to police what others do. Too much of that on twitter.

Not policing.
Not saying it should be banned.
Just saying selling it was a bad look.

I stand by it, but am moving on from the topic...game time cometh (and I am dual screening tonight once the Sox first pitch).

Airport-shaming is a new one.

Trying to publicly shame or criticize them, to me that’s a form of policing or whatever term you prefer.

Brent Axe with a bad take? Shocking

I miss Dave Rahme.
