Fun Fact - there is an arrangement between Auburn and Kentucky at the vet school. Auburn offers 38 Kentucky kids in-state tuition each year - it's a contracted thing.
Which doesn't imply any superiority or anything - just a neat thing. I'm not sure how the arrangement came to p
There's a similar deal with UGA vet school and residents of South Carolina. SC doesn't have a vet college.

the mascot was based on the Princeton Tiger. princeton was the bomb back then in football lol
tiger isn't a unique mascot. if it was like the demon deacons or something, you would have a case lol
the CLemson uniforms and logo don't resemble AUburn's today.

would be a bad take to blame it all on him.
He’s been bad all year. One pass drop isn’t why Clemson has struggled to score against everyone nor is it why they have three losses already. DJ has not been good at all. It’s becoming apparent Lawrence and Watson masked a lot of the issues with Dabo

this is a bad take given Kelly Bryant was the QB of a Clemson team that got a one seed in the playoffs. That was Bryant's first and only season as the starter the entire season. We also won a lot of games with Tajh Boyd to include a big bowl game over LSU. Boyd still holds many of the ACC passing records and there have been great ACC QBs over there years.
our team has had a ton of injuries this years on both sides, and is inexperienced at QB, WR and RB. Even our best WRs Negata, Ladson and Ross did not play or play much last year.

it was a teacher's college even if male. Clemson was a military college.
Modern Auburn was really founded when it received the land grant in 1872, making it a military, agriculture, and engineering focused school. This occurred decades before Clemson, who presumably saw Auburn’s success and copied it.
Just like they saw our beautiful architecture and ripped that off. I do like your lake, though.

Tillman hall and Samford hall don't look the same outside of a clock tower. Samford has two towers.

This is rich coming from a Clemson fan. Evidently you know nothing about Auburn and Clemsons history. You guys should be based in China with how much you copied Auburn.
And for gods sakes get your mascot some help. An intervention or something. That meth head looking cat looks like a vegan cat.

Doesn't this undermine your original assertion? A Clemson Tiger is crazier than an AUburn tiger. that's a good thing not a bad thing.

Not sure where you're getting this.
It was East Alabama Male College when chartered and was operated by the Methodist church. There were something like 10 students. After it closed during the civil war, it was transferred from the Methodist Church to the State of Alabama due to financial reasons. It was then placed under provisions for the Morrill Act and became the south's first land grant college and was renamed Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama. As you know, under the Morrill Act, land grant schools has to teach military tactics to train officers and the vast majority of students were enrolled in the cadet program.
Along with military history and tactics the school's original curriculum was focused on, you guessed it, agriculture and engineering.

every state has a land grant university.
UofSC was the original land grant university in SC but the money was transferred to Clemson when it opened.
I believe Clemson was more of a military school than Auburn was.

Well, now you're just lying.
It's well documented that Walter Riggs and John Heisman started the Clemson athletic department based on what they (mostly Riggs as he left Auburn's program with Heisman to go to Clemson) knew at Auburn. Including the mascot name and old used jerseys.

This is on our most trusted website, Wikipedia:
In 1896, football coach Walter Riggs came to Clemson, then Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina, from Auburn University. He had always admired the Princeton Tigers, and hence gave Clemson the Tigers mascot.
Auburn most likely was named the Tigers because of Princeton as well.

Clemson played a ton of close games that year against less than great teams, lost to a bad Syracuse team, and got smoked in the playoffs. And maybe Kelly Bryant was better than DJ.
Or, I don’t know, maybe you can tell me why Clemson struggles to score more than a couple times against every team they play.

Bryant had a ankle injury at the start of the Cuse game and then was knocked out with a concussion. Cuse's QB Dungey was a great college quarterback. Would have started for most SEC teams that season.
Clemson had a lot of blowout wins that year including over Miami in the ACC title game. Miami goes to the playoffs if they win that one.

Right.
quote:
A year later, Walter Riggs left the Auburn program in the hands of Heisman and headed off to Clemson, South Carolina to start up a football program there.
Clemson had no mascot, no school colors, nothing. So Riggs just took off with what he knew from Auburn, branding them the Clemson Tigers.
In fact, he was low on money—probably used it on Heisman’s salary—so when he left the Plains, he brought some of Auburn’s old practice uniforms with him, which happened to have orange and navy jerseys.
Because the jerseys had gone through a few washboard scrubbings, they were quite faded—the navy worse than the orange. So Riggs made the school’s predominant color orange and the faded condition of the navy became the purplish color, officially known today as Regalia.

If Walter Riggs gave Clemson the Tiger mascot and jerseys because of his ties to Auburn, that wasn't because Clemson copied them. He went to Auburn.
Also, Clemson's uniform and logo today are more unique than Auburn's.
Also, our main traditions, running down the hill, touching the rock, the bus ride around the stadium to the hill are not Auburn traditions. We don't have a war eagle lol
