i think the 80 bars thing refers to all the bars in the Athens 'metro'. not just the business district near campus, which is what i'm talking about. From broad to washingston street near the campus.
if you can, pleas provide a list of all 80 bars that you speak of and their addresses. 80 bars just in that downtown business district would be amazing.

i've alreayd addressed these. Clemson has been ranked as high as no.2 and linked that. I have my memorty CU was ranked no. 1 by some publication but I am not going to take time to research it, because this isn't important to me. i make fun of the party school rankings because it is baseless.
According to Google maps, Athens has about 25 bars in its downtown, in addition to some other restaurants, many of which also no doubt have alcohol. maybe Google maps didn't pick up all the bars, but I think 25 bars adjacent to the university is quite a lot. I searched 'bars, Athens, GA' on google maps and zoomed in on Broad Street to Washington street. take it up wth google if it isn't accurate.
I think CU has enough bars to meet the demand. That was my basic points. Again, UGA has a lot more students, including graduate students who are all over 21, and Athens is a bigger city than Clemson which is a true college town. It has more bars because there are a lot more people in town. My point is, UGA fans like to say they have more bars than Clemson, but they also have a lot more people. I never heard anybody at CU complain about lack of bars in town, and students went over to Anderson and Greenville as well at times.
Nope, the fact is you said it was no. 1, then I proved it wasn't. You said it was sad that UGA wasn't on the list, but now that UGA is higher than Clemson you think the lists are baseless. Keep moving the goalposts.
Again, I asked for a link showing me the bars downtown. You reference google maps, that is not a link. Also you have showed that you have no idea what bars are downtown, or even what the names are. You said you have been here 2 times, who know how long agai?? I live here and can tell you first hand all the bars, and have linked an article that talks about it. Something you can't seem to comprehend the concept of.
Once again you're wrong. YOU brought up the bars, YOU brought up the amount per student, YOU brought up UGA fans liking to brag about the bars. all things you're wrong about. Again Athens is not even close to a big city, you clearly don't understand what that means.
All my friends at Clemson complained about the lack of bars constantly, and lived coming to Athens. No one ever goes out of their way to go to Clemson, they do it all the time to come to Athens.
So once again, you proved nothing and didn't provide links because you know you're wrong and have no proof to back it up. Keep trying little buddy.

athens is a big city compared to Clemson, which is wut i said. Athens would still be there without the city, albeit with less bars. lol Clemson is basically the university and everything in town is there bc of the univerisyt
you don't get to decide for everybody that Athens is a better place to live. it has no lakes and not as close to mountains, etc.
on this website, yes, you guys love an Athens. lol
And i should point out again Clemson and Anderson are same area.
Wrong.
I'd don't decide for everybody, we have all said it.
You post on here, therefore you take the answers.
No they aren't the same area.

lol nobody in Clemson would drive 2 hours to athens to go to a bar.
and you don't have to go to a bar to drink at college. they have these things known as 'parties' on campus. lol
BTW, Clemson gets a ton of students out of Atlanta and other parts of Georgia. why would they go to Clemsn if bar scene is so bad. they are coming for a big ol city like ATl and the bar scene in clemson seems to be good enuf for them. :)
this is why i am the debate master.

Lots of my friends came down here all the time, bored with tiny little Clemson.
Parties like on a whole Greek row?? Yeah already covered that.
Not a single person has ever gone from ATL to Clemson for a bar.
You have lost every point you have made, but in your mind you are the debate master.

there is no way to corrobarate their claim of 80 bars near campus
i tried on google maps, and only got 25 in the downtown business district. i am open minded on being wrong but google maps didn't show this.
many people who grow up in ATL go to college at Clemson. so they must not care about bars, or think Clemson has enough bars.
At least 3 Clemson bars are national landmarks and treasures, Esso, TD's and Tiger Town Tavern. i believe the Esso Club is on the National Registry of Historic Places. Wow
I like the fact that Clemson doesn't have '80' or a large number of bars. It is not about quanity of bars, it is about quality of the bars and the atmosphere. Clemson bars are like the Cheers bar, where everybody knows your name.
Clemson has a sense of commnity a large college like Athens does not. :)

Trying to quote google maps again, so you're wrong.
You said people will come to Clemson for the bars, not go to school there. 2 totally different things.
Really all 3 are national landmarks?? Well surely you have learned to have a link by now, please provide it.
Haha so even though earlier you though(wrongly I might add) that Clemson has more bars per student, now you're glad that they don't have many bars?? Keep moving the goalposts.

why would a person who cared about lots of bars come to Clemson for college? When youvisit, you will see the downtown area and note that it does have less than Athens.
yet so many people from ATL and other parts of GA leave GA to come to a school in SC even though they pay much higher tuition.
why? lol
bars per student is different metric than total number of bars. UGA at least 12,000 more students. As a result, it can support more bars.
all i am saying it is dumb to say Athens is better becuse it has more bars than Clemson, if the number of bars meets the demand for bars in Clemson.
i don't see how this is debatable. lol
you can only drink beer at one bar at a time. doesn't matter if there are 79 nearby. lol

Because Atehns is better.
Again, I need to see your link that shows more bars per student. Right now we have at least 8 times as many in Athens downtown, for only 12,000 more students. Obviously this is much more per student than Clemson has.

Quit editing your posts to add in new phrases, it makes you even harder to try and respond to your stupidity.
No one made that argument except guess who?? You, once again. And you're the one that said you have more bars per person., so you must think it's important.
It's not debatable. You have lost every single point you have tried to make.

UGA is the flagship college of a more populated state is one reason.
another is clemson only became a university 1965, and was a male only military college until 1955. It enrollment has increased signifanicantly.
another reason is Georgia has profesional schools like law and pharamcy that bring more students oncampus, and Clemson doesn't have these.

From an old article:
Chris Fowler of ESPN's College GameDay crew had some unkind words about Athens on ESPN.com this week. In a Thursday Web column, he rated college towns for their game weekend atmosphere. The Classic City was listed under the heading "Not happening." "I know this is a cool college town - I mean, REM and the B-52's and other bands are from here - but we always seem to be surrounded by over-dressed, over-served frat guys."
lol
this is why i call UGA students alcoholics. i get the impression so many of the students at UGA go there b/c of '80 bars' downtown, not for academic reasons.
i could see 50 plus UGA students a night pass out on North Campus on way back to their dorums. lol

Athens is still buzzing about a Georgia Department of Revenue raid in 26 bars downtown last weekend. No formal arrests were made, but 11 citations were issued to individuals for underage drinking. Administrative citations could be issued to bars found out of compliance with the law as well.

If your grammar is any indication of the education one receives at Clemson, the beauty of the campus is the least of their worries.
