Yet...


We're not going to have a slide in our new facility, but will have a 3D hologram training environment. Don't really know what that entails, but it sounds pretty cool.

Texas A&M's facilities looks like a STD infested night club in Houston.

Was referring to Clemsons color scheme. Looks like weight lifting at the Discovery Zone. Slide and hill aren't helping that impression

Which explains A&Ms performance; everybody just watching tv instead of working out and getting prepared

Do a thread on social media presence. Urban Meyer has been quoted as saying they studied what Clemson has been doing and have implemented some of the same stuff.

That's funny because they Clemson Athletic Department and Dabo toured Mississippi State's new football complex right after it opened and took a lot of their ideas from it.

I agree they are SEC Caliber, but don't see the similarities. If you mean that it has the same stuff then sure, but most schools have them.

Their scheme is basic and clean, and not Alabama's problem but Clemson has newer stuff, obviously because it's more recent.

I don't like the slide, it's 5 year old-ish.

Which ideas did they get from Mississippi State? The guy who was responsible for basically designing the whole thing was hired by Clemson from Alabama for that very purpose.

Just to finalize both of your arguments...

The real question is does Bama have engineering?

Yeah I'm not sure what's going on here.

How many ways are there to build an auditorium? Weight room?

The water facilities aren't even that similar.

shite thread.

agree they are SEC Caliber,


so every SEC program has facilities that nice? Kentucky, Vandy, Missouri even? I thought I had read in past year that Florida had aging facilities.

I would be surprised if the better programs in big 10, big 12 and pac 12 didn't all have nice facilities.

I think describing Clemson's facilities as 'SEC caliber' is just about marketing the SEC. lol what does it have to do with the SEC.
