nah y'all got to try to take credit for Clemson b/c u can't talk much about Auburn football these days. lol
so u want to say Auburn spawned Clemson. lol
are you going to the CLemson game this year?
it is incredible that even back in the early 1900's, Clemson could hire anybody that wanted away from Auburn. Even the namesake of the Heisman trophy. lol

So sick of these neutral site games. Our attendance at these neutral games will keep going down, and Saban will start bitching, but eventually our AD has to realize that no fan base in America can travel to 3-4 neutral site games a year in mass numbers. How about we host a great non-conference team for the first time in forever? Or get to experience a new campus on the road for a change? We have worn the hell out of the turf in Atlanta and Dallas. There are only so many times you can visit those two places without getting boredom fatigue. And who the hell wants to see a Louisville game in Orlando in September? If we are this legendary dynasty, why are we so damn scared to play a true road game against a quality non conference team? We are the only team in America that plays this amount of neutral site openers.
this^infinity^^infinity ... this "need to establish our presence" nationally is a crock ... college football powers are losing their fanbase, and these neutral site games are one very good reason ...

I asked Jeeves and he said there weren't any trees on campus there so I decided not to go.

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.

Championship year for Clemson or not, Auburn football has always been a better football program than the Clemson wannabe bunch. Our program would've beat y'all last year if not for our God damn moron coach.

ok, nobody is denying any of that. but using purple isn't copying Auburn if Auburn never used purple.
and obviously Auburn doesn't feature orange.

You're either the most dedicated troll I've ever seen or you have the processing power of a chimpanzee.

LSU needs to play Clemson in the regular season sometime. Do a home/home, Death Valley/Death Valley would be cool.

i don't think that has been true in the modern era. i'll give you 1890s- 1960 or so.

So you're not denying that Auburn did all of that to jumpstart Clemson but because we don't feature orange, Clemson doesn't have any ties to Auburn.

my point is CLemson and AUburn uniforms don't look anything alike. if it was about copying Auburn, why don't they.

Why does Bama do the neutral site thing so much? Yes, I know the team's popularity makes the neutral sites offer a lot of money but it takes away from the "college" part of the game. Money can't be the only reason.
