Do you buy season tickets for CU Baseball
Feb 12, 2013, 4:48 PM
|

This is my first season purchasing season tickets. We got placed right next to the Cajun Cafe in the outfield. I thought we would get better seating, but I guess we have a bunch more season ticket holders than I thought.

Oh no lie. I am sure Leggett wants me as far away as possible. That being said I support Clemson. I try to keep my thoughts to myself while out at the field. Try being the key word.

If you draw a line from the pitchers mound through 1st base

and into the stands, our seats are about 2/3 of the way up on that line. We actually got a slight improvement this year with the new arm chair seating by being moved to the aisle. We were a couple of seats in from there last year.

This is my 6th or 7th season buying season tickets...

and there's about 3500 season ticket holders. This season I got moved one section closer to home plate than I had been, which I guess is a good thing. The price for the tickets in the sections that used to be bleacher seats went up $25, but that's OK because we have chair seats now instead of the aluminum bench seats.

Why not just tell jack what you think at the game instead of crying on here? Or maybe your afraid jack will whip that a$$

I have actually talked to Jack before. He knows I don't care for his recruiting. I know you won't believe me, but its true. You still don't want to be that ####### in the stands ruining the experience for everyone else. Thats probably why I don't do that at games. Because their is that kid who is making his first game and I don't want to be that obnoxious a hole.
Good enough answer?

Why do you worry about his recruiting?...

I still don't understand some peoples' obsession over where somebody goes to HS. And trust me, just because somebody has a SC address as a senior in HS doesn't make him a South Carolinian. Daniel Moskos grew up in California, but was born in Greenville to parents that attended Clemson. Kyle Bailey on this year's team is from Texas, but his father is a Clemson grad. Is he somehow less valuable because he didn't go to HS in SC? And get over Scott Wingo. He was a mediocre hitter and wouldn't have seen the field at Clemson for 3 years because Mike Freeman was better.

No lie. We will probably keep our season tickets for a long time. You can't beat the season ticket price. In full disclosure though we bought them so we could have the rights to the 8 CU vs. Scar tickets.

A lot of great players in this state were passed over for guys i would not have taken in my Wednesday night slow pitch league.
I honestly do not have as big a problem as to where they come from. I thought he gave up on the trail. I thought he relaxed because of his situation, and now he is digging himself out of that hole. That is hard to do at Clemson. Clemson recruits itself for the most part.
Just could not begin to believe that other schools who have zero tradition and zero fan support were out on the trail killing us. I know we have a decent class this season, but recently we have been down.....way down
That is my problem. Somewhat deals with his distaste of in state players who are at the very least comparable than those out of state. Its like being Miami and choosing not to recruit Florida high school football programs. I have seen the best this state has to offer and we have a great base to pull from. Like i said earlier this has more to do with the total lack of quality classes brought in recently.
I will say this. Jack is not the complete jerk people make him out to be. I have watched a good many practices. His kids have fun and they respect him. I dont know where some get that he is a prick. Heard stories from former players, but honestly i hear stories from former players at a lot of schools in this state including scar. Its a generation of entitlement so your never going to please every player.

No "great players" were passed over...
Feb 13, 2013, 12:32 AM

maybe some of them couldn't get in school. South Carolina produces very few "great players" and not all of them will go to Clemson. North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida produce many more "great players" than SC does. Some are SC fans from day 1. Some can't get in (Marty Gantt). If you were at the dinner, you heard him tell the parents in attendance basically to leave him alone and let him run the team. It's not about the individuals and their stats or their draft status, it's about the team. If parents and players can't accept that, then they don't need to be at Clemson. Tyler Colvin wasn't a "great player" in HS but became a first round draft pick after three years at Clemson. Some "great players" may have only been great because of the competition they faced. There's a massive difference between HS baseball and D1 baseball, especially in the ACC. Clate Schmidt was born in Beaufort but went to HS in Georgia and basically told the pros not to bother to draft him because he wouldn't sign a pro contract. THAT'S the kind of player I want at Clemson and I don't care where he goes to HS. If you think Jack Leggett EVER relaxes when it comes to his job you're sorely mistaken. Clemson does NOT "recruit itself" when other schools are making significantly larger investments in their facilities than Clemson is. It's NOTHING like being Miami and not recruiting Florida HS football programs. That comparisonis absolutely ludicrous and shows how little you really know. There are more D1 football prospects in Dade county than in all of SC.

Its a comparison. I am not saying it is exactly the same situation. Your the one who asked the question. I answered it. No reason to get full blown butt hurt about it.
Great players in this state do get passed over all the time by this staff. It is changing, but it definitely happened. Yes Georgia and Florida produce more talent. For one they have a bigger pool of players. That being said we didnt do our job in our own back yard and we paid for it.
Like i said earlier I think he relaxed. Either that or he made some terrible hires. Probably a combo of both. You got to be able to recruit. The days of just coaching the game are over. Find quality players. Not once every 3 years. Every year.

You say that "Clemson recruits itself" yet you say that he relaxed and didn't do his job. You can't have it both ways. If "Clemson recruits itself" then he wouldn't HAVE to go out and beat the bushes for recruits, they'd just show up after a simple scholarship offer. Just because somebody doesn't SIGN with Clemson doesn't mean he wasn't RECRUITED by Clemson.

Clemson is the only the school in the ACC that sells out the entirety of the seats it puts aside for season tickets holders. It's roughly 3550 seats sold to season ticket holders. 500 seats in the TC Grandstand are set aside for students per Mr. Chapman's donation requirements. The there is UA which is not sold because it is allotted to visitors. The players parents get about 50 seats spread throughout UK and UJ. I believe the two sections next to the batters eye are general admission. Then there is the standing room. The three sections next to the Cajun Cafe, became season ticket holders last year. Seats also had to be shuffled this year as sections UK & UA lost 2 seats per row and UB, UC, UD, UI, UK lost 3 seats (might have been 2...not 100% sure) with the seat back conversion. That is roughly 180-190 season tickets that got shuffled to right and left field.
