Clemson fans were good people

I met one older lady at The Palace cafe Tuesday morning and she was nice as could be.

Not after the melts I read on TigerNet. They can STTDB.

I must have talked to 30-40 Clemson fans this past weekend in NO and they are all were having a great time and getting along w LSU fans.

But not surprising after the loss, idiots are coming out of the woodworks claiming they were mistreated, abused, and urinated on.

I hung out with a couple for a few hours and they told us they were shocked how nice we were.

I was in a mixed section and everyone was getting along.

The tigernet threads are nuts

I live in SC and have many friends who are Clemson fans. Almost all of them have been gracious in defeat. Most Gamecock fans have been totally rejoicing in the LSU win and have said “Thanks for kicking their arse!”
I’m enjoying driving around in my truck with LSU/GEAUX TIGERS stickers and car flags flying! IT’S A BEAUTIFUL WEEK IN SC!

The TigerNet threads must be their lunatic fringe. Hard to believe some of them were even in New Orleans.

The ones I interacted with before and after the game were quite complimentary of our team and fans.

the bars where I was everyone was pleasant and getting along fine. I have no complaints with them and would put them in the “good egg” or friendly fans list

Wait!
They were interacting with LSU fans and nothing happened???
That is interesting, because my understanding (based on the Clemson boards) is that not a single Clemson-LSU fan interaction was friendly or positive.

but I sat in the middle of their section 145

Change that section # to 645 and you would have had a totally different experience.

This applies to almost all sports. The nice (expensive) seats prices out the trash.

Same experience we had - all very nice, respectful people. We even shared a table at a bar on Tuesday night with a nice Clemson couple that also stayed over until Wednesday. We were talking to them while they were sitting next to us and they ended up just joining us. I heard lots of reports on how much they loved having the game in NOLA and that it was the perfect city for this event. Most kept saying great food, nice people and easy to get around/everything centrally located.

Clemson fan here. We had a wonderful time. The LSU fans were great to us in the restaurants, bars and in the stadium. Many LSU fans approached us to welcome us to New Orleans and to wish us a good game. We were definitely outnumbered in the Garden District and Uptown restaurants and it was fun to experience the excitement of your fan base. Lots of impromptu cheering, etc. My group commented numerous times how great everyone was.

The shocker was the mob of drunk college kids during our 30 minute walk back after the game. It wasn’t cool seeing the trash talk/STTDB directed at easy targets like older folks and families with kids and it seemed every group that passed had something to say.

Overall the good definitely outweighed the bad and if you visit I hope you guys have a great experience in Clemson in 2025.
