Every fan base has "those" fans they wish they could give to another team, but overall Clemson fans are ok. They treat their opponents fans with respect and will invite you to their tailgate win or lose.

Don't let the over zealous morons (every fan base has them) sway your decision.

The Tillman Act, passed in 1907, banned corporate contributions in federal political races. The Act is named for Senator Benjamin Ryan “Pitchfork Ben” Tillman (1847-1918) (D- SC), one of the most despicable men ever to serve in the U.S. Senate and a man who, it can fairly be said, did more to put in place the Jim Crow system in the South than any other single person. As a young man coming of age in the post-War South, Tillman was a leader of the “Red Shirts,” a terrorist paramilitary group organized to attack and intimidate Republicans and blacks. In 1876, the Red Shirts’ campaign of murder, violence, and fraud led to the defeat of South Carolina’s integrated reconstruction Republican government. Arguing that, “The negro must remain subordinated or be exterminated,” Tillman openly called for the murder of blacks in order to, ”keep the white race at the top of the heap.” Tillman was elected South Carolina Governor in 1890, and created South Carolina’s first literacy test for voters, as well as promoting various property and educational requirements for voting. While in office, he once pledged to personally “lead a mob in lynching a negro.” After all, “the negro,” he claimed, was “a fiend in human form.”

*1). 4 Clemson Students Cleared in Grand Jury Probe of Alleged Assault
The Charlotte Observer, September 3, 1986
Star Clemson University football player Kenny Flowers, another player, and two former players were cleared by a grand jury Tuesday of allegations that they raped a 37-year-old N.C. woman on June 20.
The Pickens County Grand Jury ruled that there was insufficient evidence against Flowers, defensive back A.J. Johnson and former players Craig Crawford and Duke Holloman. The grand jury had considered possible charges of criminal sexual assault, kidnapping and larceny.
...
Flowers, a senior who is 253 yards shy of the all-time Clemson rushing record, was touted earlier this year by the school as a Heisman Trophy candidate.
"We had great lawyers working for us and knew it would end up this way," said Flowers.
...
The grand jury also ruled Tuesday that police in the town of Clemson did nothing improper in their handling of the matter when the woman, who is the mother of another former Clemson player, reported the incident June 21.
Police immediately arrested Crawford and Holloman, but failed to serve warrants on Flowers and Johnson.
Police allowed Flowers's attorney, Dick Harpootlian of Columbia, to talk with the woman in the town police station. Harpootlian persuaded the woman not to pursue the case. At the time, she had no attorney.
...
After the grand jury action Tuesday, Harpootlian criticized press coverage of the matter.

"Justice was done," Harpootlian said.

2) February 22, 1996-Two Clemson football players were released from jail yesterday and two others remained behind bars after a judge set their bonds at $20,000 on charges of raping a student on campus.

Eric Bernard Williams, 18, of Blenheim, S.C., and Adrian Kennell Dingle, 18, of Holly Hill, S.C., posted bond to get out of the Pickens County jail. Christopher Rice, 19, of Starkville, Miss.; and Bennie K. Zeigler, 18, of St. Petersburg, Fla. are still in jail.

If convicted on the charges of criminal sexual conduct and conspiracy, each man could receive as much as 35 years in prison.

The trial of four Clemson football players accused of gang-raping a woman in a campus dorm abruptly ended yesterday in Pickens, S.C., when the woman refused to testify. The charges were dropped and cannot be refiled, court officials said.

Adrian Dingle, Eric Williams, Bennie Zeigler, and Christopher Rice -- all freshmen -- were arrested Feb. 20 on felony charges

There are many more of these incidents...

Some such as Kevin Alexander with the Denver Bronco's having occurred after leaving Tatertown..


I guess sCUm is really D.V.U.

I also wanted to add that we thoroughly enjoyed our Death Valley experience in Baton Rouge. (well except for the loss) We walked around the beautiful campus - and received all the "TIGER BAIT" chants. It's funny almost everytime that we were "approached" with a group of Tiger Bait chanters it was followed with, "Hey y'all come over here and have some gumbo, creole, jambalaya and a drink". It was a great day.

Beat the Taters!

If we, USC, can get a two score lead in the second half, it will be constant running and clock management.
