How about systemically feeling up opposing players, while the coach is baptizing kids on the football field?

(To be clear, I do believe that baptizing someone on a football field vs a church is weird, especially at a public school, but my intent isn’t so much to cast judgement on that action as it is to hilight a hypocracy of a ‘better than thou’ attitude while turning a blind eye to something that I believe most people would consider somewhere between weird and morally reprehensible.)

There’s no end to the weirdness that’s come out of Clemson. My point wasn’t that we should hold everyone accountable for the sins of their ancestors.* Nobody would like anybody in such a world. My point was that Clemson has a long and storied history of being unlikeable from their very founding until the present day. It’s hard to find reasons to like them - aside from this board’s insecurities mixed with a few encouraging words from their coach to our (current) coach.

But switching gears a little toreference some subsequent posts, we aren’t rivals, and we almost certainly never will be. Aside from an odd year here and there, this game will never have any added traction beyond the competency of the teams on the field. A #X Clemson vs. a #Y Syracuse will not matter more than a #X FSU vs. a #Y SU. The same isn’t true for schools like WVU, PSU, and BC. Clemson and SU are too different, and they’re too far apart.

*Although, in all fairness, I’d be willing to bet that many in their fan base would gladly bring up that piece of their history with little or no prompting.
