mouth (don’t ride in the car with me while I’m alone …… SO MANY IDIOTS on the road)
BUT
That isn’t my Dad’s Clemson …… that isn’t the Clemson I was growed on - that isn’t my Clemson.
Tiger Rag with the extreme vulgarity thrown in at the end ……. beyond reprehensible.
Not what our place is all about - at least to me, anyway.

It can be a great statement with class too! Clemson Gentleman in the process.

parts of the crowd will spell out:
“CLEMSO….mother****** N!”
It started in the student section, but is now moving beyond that. And it won’t stop. It’s as much a part of the fight song now the woo-hoo.
Real classy stuff.

Yep. I shudder when they catch that on TV. Not a good look for anyone who thinks of Clemson the way I, and a lot of other I know, do. What has always been a great display of school pride becomes embarrassing very quickly.

Agreed. Hearing it on TV is pretty bad.

I remember learning Tiger Rag as a small kid — the spelling, the timing of shouting the letters, the pause, the arm and fist movement…
Imagine kids learning all of that now and hearing what has been added to the pause before “N!”
I also wonder why it started. What does “mf’n N” even mean? So trashy.

Get rid of the pause before the "N". Take it back to how it was in the 70's and early 80's. I never liked the pause in there anyway.

intent of the RV isn’t female dog - it is a vulgarity intended to create a rise.
It doesn’t get a rise outta me - makes me sad for Clemson Family.
I see that RV and I think o310 state - alabamer - lsu - michigan (but mostly the suckeyes) ….. NOT our Clemson that I want my kids to know and love & embrace like I have since 5 years old - because it was different, an example of something more in a sea of all the same.

the cursing inserted into Tiger Rag. I thought about how my dad would react, listening to Clemson people shouting that AS PART OF OUR OWN FIGHT SONG, especially at a road game, and the possibility of other fans (kids especially) thinking that’s part of Clemson.
And I’m no stranger to that word. I curse. I’m not offended by any words per se. It’s all about context. That’s what makes them “offensive” sometimes. And this is one of them.

Dad, my parents, modeled for me as appropriate.
It’s not appropriate - the RV, the Clemson shirts I have seen with this kinda stuff on it …… and certainly the add-ons to Tiger Rag.

Spot on. I cuss too. I worked in manufacturing plants where it was considered normal. I do try to avoid the “F” word, especially in mixed company. There were certain things you just did not say in the company of a lady (sorry JStone). My dad used to teach us not to even say dang or doggone or shoot because you really meant something else. Unfortunately most people don’t feel that way these days and the worst of the vulgarities have become mainstream and far too widely (IMO) accepted. I’ll stick with “Go Tigers “!!

I would call it Sophomoric Bad Taste. My own mouth is certainly no prayer book, but I wouldn't advertise that fact in writing for the whole world to see.
Butt, hey, whoever it belongs to obviously has more money than me, and they most likely don't care what I, or anyone else here on Tigernet thinks.
However, eventually, Someone will care.

The 2016 decal refers to the CFP Championship game that we played in and lost at the end of the 2015 season. We went back to the 2017 CFP Championship game following the 2016 season and won.

on the back. Probably one of those bandwagon fans who didn't start following until we started winning. I bet they own a Tom Winkopp property too.
