I'm about to make everyone mad I bet
Jul 14, 2014, 3:04 AM

I can't help but notice all the hate on this board concerning South Carolina . I have been a Clemson fan since I was a small child and loved going to the games with my dad over 30 years ago. And yes , I never wanted to see the tigers lose a single game , especially to our in state rivals but.....
I certainly don't hate USC. Never have. To me that's silly . To me, it's only football. A game. I enjoy it a great deal but I don't hate USC fans because of who they pull for , or the players for that matter . I pull for Clemson > ACC > USC because they r instate with us. I certainly don't hate them. Don't misunderstand .... I'd get tickled if they went 0-12 and I'd enjoy the heck out if it but hate..... Ummm no. It's a game. Some of you sound silly the way u act like they are lowlifes and such. I know some really fine USC fans. But I love the tigers instead .
I know there are some really crappy USC fans too but there r some pretty bad Clemson fans as well. The fact is, in the end, we are all people and as long as people treat me well, I believe in doing the same. Race or favorite team means nothing. It's about their attitude.
I hope we winnem all and they losem all but most importantly, I hope both fan bases have a safe and fulfilling season . Because if it meant hurting on USC person for real in return for winning , I'd rather go 0-12. It's just football .
Have a great season everyone.

I agree that Scar fans are people too.

Some are even ok people, and I wish them no real harm. What I take issue with is your statement that "It's just football?" Whuut? That is heresy. It is like saying America is "just a country." Wow.

I have family members who are Scock fans ...and I stress "members" . If you cannot dislike your rival ...your long suffering little stepchild who now with recent success feels the need to needle you and chide us at every turn then there is no reason to care about the game at all , is there ? No , hating on dirtpeckers is a healthy part of a balaanced existence and I encourage you to take it more seriously in the future . In my estimation ...you have been missing out.

Maybe they aren't all bad people. MAYBE. But we aren't trying to "hurting on them," rather beat em on the field. None of us cheered when Lattimore got hurt. We aren't like that. But seriously, eff those guys. Would you not agree that most of their players are thugs...?

LOL....The "hating" is actually the more entertaining
Jul 14, 2014, 6:38 AM

sport, for folks are able to participate 365 days a year.
It has become over the years a refined art developed with high intrigue and boundless fits of emotion, cunning, guile and inventiveness. Yet, most exercise their rights to inclusiveness in the practice with tongue-in-cheek and eyes cast hither and thither lest they say the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person...like their Daddies, Mommas, wives, girlfriends, bosses or plain, ole friends, who make be ardent fans of the enemy.
The people of our infamous state thrive on the conflict, while praying to the Almighty for an extended life in which to enjoy the sport.
Meanwhile, our fine neighbors in North Carolina and Georgia engage in their own brand of "hating," while attempting to gang up on our little, ole state, which makes me think they may have a secret vendetta due to our having led them down the dark path toward the Civil War.
And all the while, Tater and Chicken fans prepare to don their shiniest armor, sharpen their strongest lances, mount their sturdiest steeds and gallop straight ahead into another War of the Doozies.
It's what we do; it's a lot of fun; and both sides are darn well-adept at the sport!

AS a smart person in another thread said, the 99% of coots who are crappy fans ruin it for the 1% of their folks who are good fans......

You're either with us or against us...
Jul 14, 2014, 7:32 AM

...and either with them or against them. Get on the bus or get off.
I have lived in SC for all of my 46 years, and I NEVER pull for the Coots...in anything. This doesn't mean I wish harm on them. There are many people I like a great deal who are SC fans. I still hate the way they act in certain situations.
Hate is a strong word, but it is 100% appropriate for how I feel about the way many SC fans conduct themselves. What is silly is trying to tell someone how they should feel.

Very classy post, this is what it is about. There is nothing wrong with harmless internet banter but so many on tnet take it to the extreme. I know i am a coot but i sincerely come here hoping for real discussion bc i love the banter and rivalry, but iblike to see some honest assessment. It gets old watching every thread end with "coot", it literally happens in 80% of threads on this site. People who just disregard every post they dont want to hear are ridiculous. I dont go to my Gamecock site (TBS/247) and slam Clemson, I dont see the point. I like learning about ur players, plays, etc. So when i watch yall during the season I know who they ate. Tnet could benefit from OPs logic-pull for your team, not to trash the other team, too many posts degrading SC, UGA, and FSU and not enough real diverse discussion about any of the schools.

Why don't you run over to fgf and preach this same sermon...

then get back with us.
And just a suggestion--if you don't like the posts on Tnet, then why bother visiting?? It would seem to be a waste of your time.

Not all Southerners are rednecks, and not all Northerners are Yankees.
If you are offended by the terms used for any of these groups, it is probably because you are a part of one.

Maybe you should check your self-righteous meter. Just because you think your opinion is right, doesn't mean others have to share it.

If you don't want to hate SCar that's cool. I don't understand it, but that's your thing. I too know some SCar fans who are upstanding, fine, lovely people and I don't begrudge them their team preference--everybody's got to root for somebody and usually it doesn't define them as a person. I also know some fans who go out of their way to be a d!ck to me *because* they know I'm a Clemson fan. And some people belong to both categories depending on time of year, conversation subject, etc.
Personally, I don't hate SCar because of football. I hate them because of *everything*. And I'm kind of perplexed by people who don't.

Sorry but the in your face coot fans have crossed the line with me. Their greater than thou attitude and total arrogance has reached its limit with me. They talk as though they are world beaters and all thy have accomplished is a state championships. As I told one of my coot friends, I don't know when the worm will turn, but when it does, it will be ugly. Had one hold up 5 fingers at church yesterday. Payback is coming. I hope they are prepared.

I go to church every Sunday, and I'm one of about 5 Clemson fans in the entire congregation. But be sure of this, all those coots know better than to try and insult me using the church as a tall fence between us. Flip me a 5 finger in church, and I'll flip them the dominant 1 right back!!! We're in church to worship our Lord and savoir, and not for goading each other over our college preference. And if any of them feel they can gouge at me with protection of the church walls, think again.

Why did you have to go and do that for. Now I've got to hate you. I'm sure glad that all Clemson and usuc fans aren't like you. Rivalry would just go away, and FB would just be a Jock sport like hunting and fishing.

It's called a Rivalry for a reason.
Jul 14, 2014, 9:41 AM
|

Also, please never say "it's just football" again.
Does not compute.
Finally, most fans on both sides are actually rational, competent folks that do respect each other. Unfortunately, some idiots from both sides can present an uglier picture than that.
With that said, I hate South Carolina. And if they never won another game, well that'd be just fine with me. I hope they feel the same way about us. Now, spot the d@mn ball.

I have to totally agree. I have many friends that are Clemson fans and we enjoy a good ribbing and trash talk. BUT NEVER do any of us attack players. Sure when someone gets arrested or something we will poke some fun and of course we do poke fun at Spurrier or Dabo but nothing viscous or nasty (and yes I do think Slurrier is pretty funny). Rivalries are fun but they shouldn't lead to personal attacks against players or fans.
