To all Clemson fans, Tigernetters, fair weather fans, coaching head hunters, conservatives, liberals, anarchists and, of course, Gamecocks.
Great injustices have occurred on this beloved TigerBoard over the past two months. The Truths have been misinterpreted, unjustly altered, falsified, or, in some cases, simply forgotten. I am here to tell you "No More!" The Truths shall be chiseled into the foundations of HTML that this beloved TigerBoard was created on and neither Tiger nor Gamecock shall forget them ever again or they shall face the mighty wrath of cuda after downing a 12-pack of Mountain Dew.
These, my Tigers and Gamecocks, are the Truths (in no particular order of importance). Opinions are free, open and available to everyone, but the Truths cannot be altered.
1. Clemson University is above all the best university in the state of South Carolina.
2. Tommy Bowden is an excellent coach who is leading Clemson in the right direction of football success.
3. The value of Reggie Herring to Clemson University is known only by Tommy Bowden and his future at Clemson University is only rightfully decided by Tommy Bowden.
4. Woodrow Dantzler is an extraordinary athlete and commands the respect and support of all Tiger fans through thick and thin.
5. The future of Woodrow Dantzler as the starting quarterback is only rightfully decided by Tommy Bowden.
6. The future of Roscoe Crosby is only rightfully decided by Roscoe Crosby.
7. Booing occurs at every football game that Clemson loses even if some fans claim they did not hear it.
8. All Clemson fans have the right to boo players and coaches during a Clemson sporting event.
9. A true Clemson fan who loves his/her school and wants to see it excel in athletics does not boo the players or the coaches during a Clemson sporting event.
10. Woo Hoo is one of the greatest tragedies to ever occur at Clemson University.
11. Woo Hoo exists and cannot be destroyed, therefore attempts to do so are futile.
12. Woo Hoo does not affect the performance of Clemson athletics.
13. "No pass outs" are the devil.
14. PawVision is only as evil as the man who allows it to thrive.
15. PawVision must be torn from its hinges and tumbled to the earth where there will be much rejoicing, singing and playing of Tiger Rag.
16. TigerPride has thus far been a failed campaign and has the ability to succeed through smarter management.
17. Renovating athletic facilities is important to the success of Clemson University athletics.
18. There is no Williams Brice Stadium. There is only the Dead Cockroach.
19. There is absolutely no need for a restaurant in Death Valley.
20. Giving to IPTAY is not only a good idea, it should be undertaken by every Clemson fan.
21. The man who gives the most to IPTAY is no more and no less of a fan than the man who gives the bare minimum or who cannot afford to give at all.
22. Clemson University facilities, monuments and buildings should be named after those who served the University the best selflessly and honestly, not those who gave the most money to have their name emblazoned on it.
23. There is no Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
24. There is only Tiger Field.
25. We are not doomed.
26. Children should be taught to love Clemson from a very early age, usually in between crawling and walking stages.
27. There is no media conspiracy against Woodrow Dantzler.
28. There is a very, very miniscule media bias against Clemson in the state of South Carolina.
29. There is a very, very miniscule media bias in favor of Clemson in the state of South Carolina.
30. If something happens and the media reports it, they did their job.
31. I was planted in Clemson in 1997 by the media to pose as a Clemson student and fan so that I could destroy the university from the inside.
32. If Truth #30 is false, then I must have been left out of the grand liberal media conspiracy. or there isn't one.
33. Danny Ford is the greatest coach to ever coach at Clemson.
34. Tommy Bowden has only been here three years and has ample time to try and beat that.
35. Danny Ford did not commit recruiting violations.
36. Charley Pell committed recruiting violations concerning Clemson's probation. Danny Ford inherited it.
37. Clemson boosters committed violations in the late 80's, not Danny Ford. Ford was made the scapegoat through politics within the University.
38. Danny Ford should be in the Ring of Honor.
39. Danny Ford does not want to and will not be an assistant coach for Clemson.
40. Danny Ford believes that his time came and went and is happy with his life right now.
41. The only thing really unlikable about Tommy West was the fact that he would always say, "We just got whupped," to reporters after Clemson was blown out.
42. Greedy political motives among University officials is hurting Clemson more than anything else right now.
43. Gargamel neither loves Clemson University nor wishes to advance it. He wishes only to advance himself.

46. Some things, such as The Hill, should never be renamed.
47. The SEC is better than the ACC in football.
48. Clemson athletics have always been better than USC athletics.
49. Clemson football has always been better than USC football.
50. Clemson leads the series 59-35-4, meaning that USC would have to beat Clemson 24 consecutive times to hold a valid argument that their football program is better.
51. The only decade USC has dominated Clemson in was the 1940's. when most Clemson students were fighting in WWII being that it was a military college.
52. There is such a thing as a national championship in college football.
53. Clemson owns one.
54. USC does not.

57. Lou Holtz is not God nor any other type of deity.
58. Lou Holtz is an ordinary human being who makes mistakes like everyone else.
59. If one reads "Under the Tarnished Dome," it can be determined that Lou Holtz makes more mistakes than most human beings.
60. Lou Holtz spits when he talks.
61. Ryan Brewer and Phil Petty are USC's own Rudys. They have heart and play with heart.
62. You could actually take Rudy home to meet your mother, though.
63. Heart alone does not carry any athlete in the NFL.
64. In a perfect and just world, O.J. Simpson would be in jail.
65. So would Derek Watson.
66. A perfect and just world did exist for Jimmy Holderman.
67. Rod Gardner did not push off.

70. Becky Bowman was a scapegoat.
71. Real men do not drink Zima while tailgating before a Clemson or USC football game.
72. Really really real men brew their own beer and bring it to a Tigernet tailgating social.
73. FGF copies almost every aspect of Tigernet.
74. Except in tolerance.
75. One can be banned for posting something on FGF that is not an attack on USC so long as he/she is not a Gamecock fan.
76. Serious message board squabbles lead to alternative message boards named after ESPN channels.
77. Running down the Hill is the most exciting moment in college football pregame activities.
78. Playing 2001 and blowing smoke were exciting back when Elvis and the University of Miami did it.
79. If one Gamecock fan should question Clemson's overall stature or athletic program, he/she should refer to Truth #1 and accept it as is.
80. Crump is all-wise.
And the final and foremost Truth, if any of the above Truths should be found false, then the infallible Truths would be fallible, all of the world and life as we know it would cease to exist, and everyone must state in unison before the massive destruction:
81. It's all Catahoula's fault.
