Bulldog fans, do you share this same hatred for Clemson? I had no clue about this...


not at all. I actually really like Clemson.

I had no clue any of them disliked us.

I went to a game at Clemson and found it really enjoyable. Loved the atmosphere, the box seats, the tradition, and best of all it was a good game.

Clemson and AU are clones. Ag schools with big stadiums and serious little man syndrome......Clemson for being in the ACC and AU for being Bama's little cousin.

The same guy that designed Auburn, designed Clemson and was their president for a while I think. Other than that, could care less about them.

I dated a chick who went to Clemson, but had to come home because of a coke problem.. Didn't find out about the coke problem until a few months in.. Rich parents, hot arse girl, best BJs ever ... Yeah she "relapsed" and I found out the girl of my dreams was a coke whore..

Moral of the story, if it's too good to be true- it is..

The Clemson hate is strong in me frick Clemson

for some reason we have like 5 rivals. GT, UF, and AU are the regular suspects but from their I'd say our next biggest would be Clemson and then you could say Crackolina and then UTk.

our clemson rivalry has died down since the 1980s though and thats a shame. schools are close in proximity like south carolina and we have both had some good games. we played them back in 2002-3 and we have a series coming up again 2013-14 and I think I speak for a lot of UGA fans when I say I am glad we are.

A lot of Dawgs (at least on the DR) really wish we could play them more often and get a series back up and running but with an SEC schedule and our annual arse reaming of the gnats makes it hard to keep clemson on the schedule too often.

ETA: also, I don't really hate Clemson. I actually almost went their but then I got into other schools and thank god. nothing to do in Clemson but the lake. But they can be pretty annoying seeing how they want to be a big boy so bad but they haven't done shite outside of 1981.

I wuoldn't say they "stole" all of the traditions. Now they may have copied the mascot, but way back early on there was a lot of friendliness between AU and CU.

When Heisman left Auburn and went to Clemson, the football program up there wa really poor, so he got in touch with the AU folks and asked if he could get some of the old Auburn uniforms to use for his team at Clemson. AU sent a load, but as they were old the burnt orange and navy blue had faded and become a lighter shade of orange and purple...which is how Clemson got their school colors.

Also worth mentioning - Auburn 'stole' their colors from Virginia. So all 3 schools are linked.

Adam, you'd better check up on the sports history of that fine university located in Athens, GA.

Homer Jordan (Cedar Shoals)
Danny Ford
William Da Frigerator Perry

General redneck debauchery environ (talking about Greeks and GDIs, not fans).

Fans, well, damn, just damn.

They are now basically irrelevant as the series hiatus draws to a close, but they were Florida level when I was in school.

30 for 30 stuff in all aspects. Yeah, they've got alot in common with AU, and I suppose AU thinks last year's MNC will stick (based upon Clempson's outliving their major rule infraction fest).

somewhat wrong

Clemson campus is MUCH nicer.
Clemson is also much harder to get in than Auburn (at least for Georgia kids).

As for football, the Clemson-UGA rivalry was huge in the 80s. Then they stopped playing.

Wait until all the Carolina fans wake up this morning... this thread will blow up.

Clemson fans are hard to get along with in general. They think that Clemson is the only university in the world that anyone should go to, that their football team is a powerhouse along the likes of Alabama, Nebraska, and Notre Dame, and they think their campus is the most beautiful campus in the nation. Basically, they think they are better than everyone and their arrogance shows from the first time that you meet them.

i agree, i just wish the hate would return for the current generation. just hard to do. maybe the gnats need a reprieve so we can swap off which ACC team we wax at the end of the year

also agree with both. CU may not be the best school but you wouldn't know that by its admission standards.
