No one has ever used the site you're trying to pass off before. US News is what everyone on this site trots out whenever a smart-school / dumb-school thread starts.

Jealousy is very unbecoming, by the way. All you clowns have is football, and Clemson took that from you. We showed your conference that you're not invincible, and you are questioning your own self-worth, because you live vicariously through Bama football. Sad, to be sure, but not unusual for your fan base.

If you are a dummy in the first place, as that is aimed at consumers

Try AAU, ARWU, and NSF databases for what college presidents use

Meh, I don't think it is that weird that a few Clemson fans post on here.

1. This site has good general discussion of college football (and other sports).

2. I've always thought that culturally Clemson is one of the most "SEC-like" schools that isn't an actual member of the SEC.

3. Clemson's biggest rival is South Carolina, and they play Auburn fairly often.

There are no Clemson fans, just jealous posters of USC.

You got no argument. The other ACC fans look upon y'all as stupid, low-life hicks and your ACC ranking doesn't do anything to refute their beliefs...don't shoot the messenger.


The USNWR is the gold standard. Clemson is a good school but not at the level of several other ACC schools.

Not sure I buy "gold standard"

NSF is pretty good indicator of academics at schools

Let's see now....we've got a Clemson fan on an SEC board telling everybody how jealous they are of....Clemson. All the while using an agenda driven periodical to make an invalid argument (check the other suggested sources if you don't believe the facts). And speaking of facts, the very fact that you're over into another conference's board spouting your team's superiority says a lot about who is living vicariously through their football team. Finally, if you have such disdain for our fan base, why the hell are you over here sticking your nose in our conference's business?

Suggestion: Take yourself and you sidekick, Tillman and post somewhere that won't mind putting up with your babbling bullshite.

That is the truth. Clemson fans are more happy that USC lost to Gonzaga than USC fans are sad.

I wonder if it works the other way.

Do any Gamecock fans ever post on Clemson boards?

Or do any SEC fans post on ACC boards?

I really don't know.

Nothing wrong with any of those reasons, if the Clemson fans we've gotten here weren't so fricking obnoxious and/or borderline illiterate. I never had an opinion on Clemson before. They just weren't worth my attention. Now I think they're imbeciles. Their posters here have close to a 100% success rate at lowering the conversational tone of any thread they happen to involve themselves in, and that takes some doing on tRant.

I occasionally post on a ACC board but it has to do with family that played there and following the school because of it.

Borads I do not frequent in the ACC
Dook
Line Beards
Taters
Free Shoes
UNCheats

UNC doesn't even offer engineering and architecture but you act like it is better than Clemson. UNC is a big liberal arts school.

Clearly you did not attend college in the ACC or if you did please ask for your money back

UNC is in the Top 10 in america for research pulling in around 1 Billion (with a B). Taters are not even in the Top 100 with about 10% to 15% of UNCheats numbers.

They wish they were in the SEC and have an inferiority complex because they aren't.

Why would I give a shite whether you mind putting up with me?

The Alabama posters on here seem like real sports fans for the most part. Except you. I'm sorry losing to Clemson ruined your life.

it doesn't offer engineering and architecture majors. you can't say it is a better university than Clemson.
