I hate to defend Clemson, they worship a rock after all and that's just weird, but I've never heard of this whole 'bama' of the ACC thing.

I call bull.

If I'm not mistaken, I've always heard that Clemson was founded by an Auburn grad or somebody that was totally connected to Auburn. LSU didn't steal crap from Clemson because LSU was established before Clemson. My doctor (who is an Auburn grad and big time fan) told me that the reason why Clemson has purple with their orange is because the founder of their school forbade the use of the color blue, because he didn't want Auburn to be confused with Clemson.

We could call Dan Reeves right now and he would drive over and stomp a mudhole in your favorite spot for buttlicking - just for typing what you just typed.

As it were, we shall allow you to live.

I've always respected their competitive football program. We have a few good assistants from there. I pull for Dabo too.

Since I like baseball I like the brand of ball Leggett puts on the field.

Not even a little.

I feel a closer connection to SEC teams than Clemson. The only non-SEC teams I ever felt "connections" too were Penn State (before the Sandusky crap that soured me to them) and Oklahoma (tradition, color scheme, etc - and before I actually lived a year in that state).

Now? Nada.

Never felt one ounce of connection to Clemson. I've always pulled for any SEC team that plays them. Pisses me off to no end that Auburn and LSU lost to Clemson recently, giving them a sense of superiority, glad SOS is doing his part to kick their arse now.
