Tillman Hall looks nicer than Samford Hall.

Georgia Tech has a tower building as do many other college buildings designed by the same architecture firm in Atlanta.

If you look at other buildings on both campuses, there's not much similiarity in the architecture. Clemson's oldest buildings generally have the Italianate style.

Clemson President: We need a centralized campus building in this spot. What do you have?

Auburn's Samford Hall Architect: How about this one I designed for Auburn 25 years ago? I still have the architectural drawings.

Clemson President: Let's do it. When can we break ground?

END SCENE.

Tillman looks like a watered-down version of Samford.

i literally lol

But i think it is most likely this big architecture firm had designed other college buildings in the state of SC. It is not like the average person in SC had been to Auburn.

It looks like construction started on Tillman the year it finished on Samford so it is not like Samford was well known nationally.


the fact Clemson only has one greek column building shows it wasn't trying to copy other colleges. most southern colleges went crazy with the greek columns like Alabama.

There are no doubt people who prefer Sikes Hall to Tillman Hall because of the greek columns.

I wasn't convinced of anything. There's no guarantee in sports and Clemson was blown out in its last game last season. Our O line was not great last season as well or the year before.

It does seem pretty likely Clemson is back in the playoffs next year. It might not be with DJ. Feels like a 50% chance DJ will transfer in the offseason. They got another top QB recruit coming in from Texas. DJ is the kind of player that really needs to be behind a dominant O line to be successful. Even our two recent title teams didn't really have a dominant O line.

Auburn entered season not expecting to make the playoffs b/c you haven't made it once. Granted, you probably would have that year the RB got hurt. UGA was lucky that season.

I hadn't seen many Clemson posters on the board lately. How's that season going?

With wrist band you could get bsck in.?That’s nice!!! With regards to the lake…. Martin is just fine. That was 2017… when was your last trip to Auburn?Thank You.

ya'll said the same thing after Watson left for the NFL. Two years later Clemson blew out Alabama in the title game. i understand why Bama sidewalk fans have a special hate for Clemson.


We’ll see, I don’t see Clemson being as bad as they are this season regularly but I could also see them transitioning back into a good but not great program. You can’t really discount having 2 College Football Hall of Famers at QB and 1 CF HOF at tailback in a span of 5 years. As well as having one of the best defensive lines in college football history in that span. Don’t think they will fall off a cliff but I wouldn’t be surprised if they go back to 10-2 season instead of regularly being in the playoff discussion. It was a hell of a run they had it’s hard to keep that up.

Beautiful architecture? And all that toilet paper waving in the breeze after a big win over NE Central Idaho Jr college kinda sets the whole motif off

Do they provide the crayons for free or do Clemson students have to provide their own?

Auburn was never a chick school for teachers. Learn your history about your own conference. FSU was a chick school. Typical dumb Clemson fan.

If we had a pond we wouldn't let it get trashed like Clemson has trashed theirs.

This is a 2016 article which appears to say that Auburn looked at Clemson’s facilities in 1983. It’s also stating that those facilities were very behind by 1993. And these “facilities” they looked at were just box suites.
