"Clemson Is Coming" says Stephone Anthony (Class 2011)"
"Why NOT Clemson"
"Why Not Dabo"


Chuck Oliver is based in Atlanta!!!!!!!!!......

he is marketing to his audience. Smart business, uninformed material.

Haha that dude is on drugs...has he been to a gt game...

His opinion... And it's a stupid one.

Somebody needs to tell that idiot

That the only time people in Atlanta watch GT football is when they play CLEMSON!

6 Million plus people in Atl, Clemson brings 5,000 plus and

they cannot sell out the game. Strong!

Clemson has more viewer than anyone except FSU


May 21, 2012, 9:52 PM

in the ACC, so TV market arguement is a just plain false. The overall record? A red herring, until the 70's, all games were played at GT.

"Excuse me? I don't go down to your work and tell you how to flip the burger!"


99 out of 100 people in ATL are UGA fans***

Interesting how the jackhole neglected


May 21, 2012, 9:56 PM

to mention how the first umpteen games were played in Atlanta before GT finally agreed to play at Clemson.

"Gamecocks aren’t ready to take college football by storm just yet. They’re not even ready to compete in their own state – Clemson will still own the territory. Gamecocks fans would be smart to keep their heads buried until that time. Avoid talking trash to a much better Clemson program.” -Dustin Tackett


he's no dude...

His first reason is FLAWED.
Sorry, but no one in Atlanta gives two ##### about Tech.
It's this order:
UGA
Braves
Falcons
Tech
Hawks

This is the guy that said "no way" FSU was going to the Big 12 AND put a $5,000 bet on it!

This guy was pissed when someone on twitter pointed out that Clemson's Nielsons ratings were about 50% higher than GT's, this despite the fact GT is in a much more populous city.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Makes sense


May 21, 2012, 10:24 PM

When Texas goes to Atlanta for a game, it will be like a home game.

Probably buy up season tickets like bama at dook

He may be right in some manner, but from what I've heard and read Ga. Tech isn't likely to leave the ACC without assurances that Notre Dame would be joining in full after 2015. Clemson and FSU are ready to pursue membership now and as I've seen recently the Big 12 and Tech are just in opening discussions, especially as a result of the ACC Spring meeting and the new bowl announcement.

Clemson's Advisory Committee better seek IPTAY and other key donor input, but if they are smart then Clemson is merely awaiting an official invitation from the Big 12.

Go Tigers!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This is my biggest fear. The Big12 would choose


May 21, 2012, 10:55 PM

GT over Clemson hands down.

Larger state
Atlanta market
More recruiting
Higher academics
Would be more attractive to Notre Dame

Ironcally, a school like GT plays the academic snob card until its absolutely clear that they can't afford to any longer.

And Chuck Oliver's site as made a complete reversal from saying Clemson and FSU wold be fools to abandon their academic priorities and go to the Big12, to now pushing GT that way.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Oh and one state closer to the Big12 and touches Fla.****

That's not what he wrote. He is a GT homer trying to justify


May 21, 2012, 10:57 PM

why, in his opinion, the Big 12 should take GT over Clemson. Nowhere did he say the Big 12 was interested in GT along with FSU, and of all the rumors about this stuff no one is saying FSU and GT. GT has only been mentioned as a possible 13 or 14th team.

Clemson and FSU are in this together. Both are already in. The deal has been agreed upon in principle. Now we will see the necessary public steps to exit without law suits and such.
