Of course Clemson fans also like to claim a bond with Auburn about how the two campuses are so alike (their words, not mine), and how the students and atmosphere are so similar that there is a sisterhood type feeling with Auburn - a mutual love and respect if you wil


1. The same architect designed the early buildings at both Auburn and Clemson.

2. Many similarities because of land grant status

3. The early Clemson uniforms and nickname were taken to Clemson by someone who had coached at Auburn.

4. I think Lewis Grizzard called Auburn- "Clemson without a lake"

So Auburn has a landmark building dedicated to and named-after one of the worst human beings in the history of this country?

Auburn has a Pitchfork Ben Tillman clock tower?

if I'm not mistaken, Clemson's first uniforms were simply faded Auburn practice gear. They kept that faded blue/purple color
