No way gbo - you’re good like Lou the FSU guy and Hoos that. Those Tiger net guys need to settle down - the guy who hurt himself was a poster here. We enjoyed kicking your arses on the field - but wish you or your fans no ill will in the future. In fact - I hope you win the rest of your games (esp NC ST)

I will tell you I am blown away by the clemson fans who donated to the go fund me page. I haven’t had a single bad interaction with a clemson fan. You guys make it hard to wanna beat your team

Some of our fans have gone off the deep end since losing last weekend. I'm not sure why because it's just a game.

Come around here after SU loses to BC in basketball.


Not that that will ever happen again.

No not at all,but the one post about players attacking the band and fans during a live game is just not true.Coach Shafer would have thrown his ass off the team if a player did do this.Scott did not tolerate players fighting or jawing in practice as he saw this as a major distraction and for him allowing this go on during a game is just total B.S. and with them throwing stuff at fans or taking a swing at at a drum major T.V. would have picked up on this so fast as they are along the sidelines too. Not to mention reporters too.

2 kinds of Clemson fans: Authentic, nice, informed, classy fans (some of which post here) and others who put on that stuff with a syrupy southern sweetness but are really classsless .

Like fans at most schools - not everyone’s a saint and not everyone is the devil. It’s all about which ones you meet and how much you like to stereotype people based on a limited encounter.

If they are complaining about HCSS, he’s moved and is coaching now much closer to Clemson and they can tell him all about it much easier than we can.

I think the Clemson posters have us confused with Miami fans. Only Georgetown (Becasue everyone should hate Georgetown, even ND and BC hate Georgetown and they are Catholics schools, same as Georgetown); Rutgers (because Rutgers is Rutgers) and NCState (Rutgers wannabes) are disliked by Syracuse fans. Even WVA fans are mostly good people (unless you happen to beat the crap out of the in their stadium).

As the OP who linked the story, I can also vouch for the Clemson fans I know in real life as being great people. Not just good...great people.

My office is in Greenville and I have clients who know I'm a Cuse fan. On Monday, Clemson fan clients of mine came by on their lunch breaks and after work just to congratulate me. I was blown away.

Nothing but love for Clemson fans, their team and coaches.

Some of the Clemson posts in the GoFundMe thread were pretty funny. At least some of them are keeping a sense of humor.

Because I live in NC I know a lot of fans of the different ACC schools. Most are decent folks...except Hokies. I haven't met a Hokie yet that isn't an idiot.

debate's over, Uconn's cooler than rutgers

I guess those ten fans who attend need something to drink.

 

[HtownOrange]

I know some Clemson fans here in Htown, they are really good people.

Not sure but if I'm not mistaken all of this suggests (now that we actually won a game in it), this all suggests, dare I say, a bit of a rivalry is developing.

"Many of the Syracuse fans were drinking the whole game"


Guilty.

I resent the implication that our fans have to be drunk to do crazy things. Sober or drunk , our fans were going nuts. I don’t really drink much but that doesn’t deter me from not embracing idiocy at special times. Just ask my husband and kids.

I was in band in 2014. Before the Tiger Band halftime show, I was standing on the Cuse sideline as we waiting to take the field, about 5 minutes before the 2nd quarter ended.

Those Cuse coaches were telling their players to fake injuries. I physically heard Scott Schafer tell one of their safeties "if they get into the red zone, go down, fake a cramp, whatever, but GO DOWN".

Sure enough, we drove towards the Hill endzone, attempted a pass into the endzone, and the Cuse Free Safety went down just as he was instructed.

I also saw lots of Syracuse players coming over the bench to fight the band. They were getting in our faces, a lineman took a swing at one of the drum majors. They were trash talking, throwing stuff at Clemson fans, flipping off the crowds, etc. and the coaches were right alongside encouraging their players, their S&C coach was telling the Cuse players to "light them up and kick their ###", and he was referring to Cuse players starting fights with Clemson fans. Yup, one of their assistant coaches was encouraging his players to swing at Clemson fans and jaw at them. Schafer and the DLine coach were telling the Cuse DLineman to "hit Stoudts injured shoulder, take him off the roster", as in "hit Stoudt so hard that we re injure his shoulder and end his career".

I was shocked to witness this in person, and there are dozen of other Tiger Band members that saw this too.

I know there is a new coach, Dino Babers, but there are still players and assistant coaches on that squad that were there under Schafer. That thug culture is still alive and well at Syracuse, believe me.

The bottom line is that Syracuse is nothing but a bunch of thugs. They act like thugs, they practice like thugs, they play like thugs, and their coaches encourage them to act like thugs on the field because they know that's the only chance they have at winning. Its sad. I cant stand that program and it sucks that we lost to them, but I am very happy our program and coaches don't encourage that type of culture. Its sad.

Shafer was a meathead idiot, and given that his MTSU team was taking dives all over the field to slow us down, I believe that part to an extent. The rest of that is BS. He sounds intimidated by our teams because they don’t lay down for mighty Clemson. Good. “Thugs”...Lol.

Babers is just good. This guy sounds incredibly salty that they lost to us...which is AWESOME. I want the whole league to hate us because we’re beating them.

 

[All4SU]

Agreed. Not one drink for me that game, and I had a blast.

 

[DeGrozz]

Eh... there are jerk fans in every fanbase.

 

[SUskibum]

For work I travel every week somewhere in the SouthEast covering Maryland down to Florida over to Texas, and up to Tennessee. So I interact with just about every SEC and ACC fan base. Clemson and LSU are easily the most kind, reasonable, knowledgeable fan bases in my experience.

Surprisingly a lot of the older fans regard our program in high esteem waiting for us to break out of the slump. I have even gotten that comment from Alabama fans who recalled periods where their program was in the toilet too.

I work in finance so this subset is admittedly skewed by folks who are paid to be more logical/analytical than the general population.

LMAO at some band member that claims he got close enough to hear an opposing HC's instructions. Like he's going to yell some unethical stuff at the top of his lungs.

Your the worst of the bunch.

As long as everyone's embracing the orange!

Agreed.
I'm in Charlotte and this town is filled w/ Clemson, and indeed, ACC fans of every stripe. I've never had a negative interaction with any opposing fans except, wait for it...NC State fans. They are the most defensive and insecure football and basketball fans in our league, and they seem to have a weird, misguided dislike of SU going back many years.
Getting annual beatdowns by Duke, UNC, FSU, VT, et al, has made them perpetually miserable, and for some reason, they think that we are "below" them in athletic stature. I generally scoff in their direction, but they are by far, the fanbase I dislike the most.

I'm in Durham. I concur 100% with this post. State fans are easily the worst fans out of the Carolina schools. The Chapel Hill "nothing to see here, folks" crowd are picking up some steam, though.
