Props from a Syracuse fan..........


Aug 15, 2019, 12:01 PM

I was in Lowe’s yesterday here in central Fla. when a gentleman came up to me and asked if I was a Clemson fan (my hat may have given it away). I told him that I was a ‘72 graduate. He told me he was a retired captain of the city of Syracuse police department and a lifelong syracuse fan and season ticket holder. He showed me on his phone some pics of his seat location and of the clemson football team when we last played there.
He told me that syracuse fans love clemson. That we were the most friendly, courteous, respectful and avid fans that EVER came to syracuse. He told me how CU fans tailgated up there which sounded a little foreign to them. He said everyone thought that Dabo was a great coach and someone who he would love to play for (and it looked like he could). He was telling me how classy our fans were and what horrible fans they had to deal with for many years in the big east, especially West Va. All in all, I was proud of how respected as a program and fan base clemson is considered by our opponents and non opponents. He said that we were in a class by ourselves and that Babers constantly talks about clemson and that syracuse is a clemson wannabe and hoped that it would be sooner than not. A wonderful genleman to meet and I hope that he’s right and our fans are treated accordingly. I KNOW he wasn’t talking about a few syracuse fans that were in our section last year.??

It's good to hear stories like this. We sometimes forget our actions reflect more on Clemson as a whole than it does on our personal behavior.
