I don’t know any but I’m always trying to convert people. Converts don’t count.

You've never been on T-Net on game day then. Can't turn a corner without seeing 3 bandwagon posts about how Coach should do this or that or a player should be benched on Saturdays usually.

I'm convinced that message boards for any school have a magnet that attracts band wagon fans.

Criticizing the coach has nothing to do with being bandwagon

It’s whether you are a loyal fan or not. We did pick up a good many bandwagon fans, especially between 2016-2018 people were hopping on like crazy.

Its definitely more of a thing for USoC with snowbirds and Northeastern folk that moved here. They think they gotta pull for the state College USuC, not realizing that Clemson is actually a state school in the state they moved too. So you have these idiot fans that think they gotta pull for Coots.
My aunt and uncle moved here from Iowa and became Coot fans knowing that I was a Clemson grad. They thought Clemson was out of state so they pulled for what they thought was the state college.
Clemson is definitely incognito living in it's little Corner of SC heaven. That's fine let Clemson remain as a state nugget and let the yahoo's pull for the Coots!

you mean questioning a move by the faultless coaches that is so idiotic that my dog is perplexed? Got it.

Apparently, to be a true Clemson fan, you must embrace the mushroom process. You know, sit in the dark and enjoy being fed BS.

Band wagon fans. Yes the ones who will complain even when we win. You know the one that will argue that the " sky isn't blue". Their always right. ?

important game of the season.
The loss to SCar is on Dabo and I’ll never forgive him for that. He could beat them 20 more times and this loss will still sting for me.

That’s sad that you will never forgive Dabo. Will you ever forget the 2 nattys we won because of Dabo? I think he deserves a little grace.

Losing to SCar, when we’re the better team, is unacceptable.***

a band wagon fan. “That shirt looks awfully new, you must have just gotten it because you’re a band wagon fan.”
aTm deserves Jimbo and the destruction he will bring to their program.

I ran into a relatively young Bama fan at a golf outing in 2018 or 2019 and he said something like that. Said all Clemson fans were bandwagon fans because you never saw anyone wearing Clemson gear before then. I told him I graduated in 1984 and my daughter was the Tiger Cub mascot from 2015-2017 and that I have Clemson shirts that are probably older than he is. I also asked him what his ties to Alabama were and he didn’t have an answer. I’m not saying you have to be a graduate to be a fan or anything like that but the definition of a bandwagon fan is someone who jumps on board AFTER the team becomes successful. And they usually jump off at the first sign of anything they don’t agree with. A lot of them are probably already gone on to the next shiny new thing.

Where did the term band wagon come from?
