I think I've reached my breaking point.
Mar 15, 2019, 9:12 AM

I've been a Clemson fan my entire life. I grew up a fan, I went to school there, and I've been a fan ever since I graduated, but it's time for me to take an honest assessment of what Clemson has done for me. First of all, I know that anyone who disagrees with the facts I'm about to share is a Bowden apologist, so don't waste your breath. Secondly, I have no doubt that some of you idiots will resort to name calling rather than have a serious discussion about the state of our athletic department, so save the same old tired routines.
Our athletic department is a dumpster fire. Here are the facts...
Football: Our football team has been moderately successful, but that is only because of our QB talent. Had it not been for that, we would be a .650 type team with a nice Music City Bowl appearance every once in a while. How can you fail at football when every dollar our athletic department makes goes straight to the football coffers? Give me MULTIPLE once in a generation QB's, and unlimited money, and I would win the NC 75% of the time. Football grade: B-
Baseball: Our Baseball program is clearly trending downward. I like Monte, but he is terrible at managing runners, and ONLY coaches our kids to hit the fastball. And even then, he tells them to try and hit a home run EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Ever heard of small ball? The only reason we have any success here is because Clemson only spends money on football and baseball. Baseball grade: D--
Women's Basketball: Don't get me started. Drad could not have messed this up if he tried. I could have made that hire in my sleep. Sure, Coach Butler was just fired from Florida, but anyone could see she would have been successful at Clemson. Couple that with the upgrades at Littlejohn, again... sorry Drad, you get no credit for this one. Women's Basketball grade: C
Men's Basketball: Why are we even fielding a team? We don't try. We put lipstick on Littlejohn and call it a renovation. I know for a fact that those renovations might have caused some kids to look elsewhere or something, probably. And who gives a coach who just made it to the sweet sixteen a new contract? Shortsighted much? Who does this? I think it's clear that CBB is in over his head. He's not emotional enough, like coach K is, to win games. He didn't even make the tournament this year, yet. Dabo said "Best is the Standard", not sure why the athletic department is not making the basketball team live up to a slogan that the football coach said while describing the football team a while back. I knew that giving a coach anything more than a year to year contract would be a mistake. Now CBB's just riding the gravy train. It would not be rash to fire him this week. On the off chance we make the tournament, it will be harder to fire him because he is successful. Plus, if we hire a new coach, and we do make the tournament this year, it will be an awesome turnaround for the new coach to make the tournament in his first game at the helm. Men's Basketball grade: F+
In summary, as a former IPTAY member, there is no reason for me not to expect Clemson to compete for a National Championship in every sport we play, every year. And if we don't, then we fire people, starting at the top. It's been my experience that employees who fear for their jobs typically perform the best. It's also a PROVEN FACT that potential employees usually respect employers who instill fear in their employees, for the most part.
Anyone who disagrees is a moron...
Respectfully, Francis Marion

That would be very hard to assess at the present time bc, there is no way to tell who is on 1st-on 2nd, or on 3d!!! But at a later date, that program will surely be assessed and judged, but, if I was a betting man, I would bet that DRAD will take a beating over that HC hire also!!!

This part must be sarcasm - Monte coaches hitting the fastball? I'm pretty sure I've read on here previously that the players don't get any hitting coaching at all. You should probably italicize the sarcastic parts so that we know it when we see it in these longer posts.

Calling people names while calling out people for (future) name calling?

That 'whooshing' sound that you just heard was extreme sarcasm going over your head. Turn you meter up a LOT higher.
BTW: I had to give FM a +1 for that part being so well played.

The fact is, this was a healing moment for you by getting all of that off your chest, and to think that someone would actually TD a healing moment, it just doesn't make any sense. But, that is the trouble with most, they never believe that the shoe could some day be on the other foot for them!!!

I thought everything you said was amazing until I realized you misspelled "moran", forgot to mention our hockey team winning a fight, and left out lots of other things that I can't think of right now.
You obviously don't know what you are talking about if you can't even spell.

I think Francis missed the game with NC State where Battle punched the NCSU player and taught him to show some respect. How could he have missed one of the best plays we've ever had?
Start at ~ 1:45 mark and see Battle wave off whatever the pack player is saying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uszAq96a8q8

If you have all of the answers as you seem to indicate in your post why are you not running the athletic department???
I bet you are a current or former youth league coach in one or more sports. If you are I feel bad for those poor kids!
Bowden Supporter and very proud to say so.

You sound like someone with an inferiority complex. It’s always someone else fault for your lack of success. Now I understand why many of your post are so negative.
Just because you went to Clemson does not automatically make you a fan. And just because you did not go to Clemson does not automatically exclude you from being a fan.
IMO a fan is someone who supports their teams regardless of the outcome. Not saying fans can’t complain but when it becomes excessive then I have to question that fans loyalty!!

So I’m not a fan because I’m not satisfied with mediocrity?

Fresca and Gin? I'm intrigued. But only by your pet's cocktail preference. Some might be impressed by it's ability to pour a drink, but I find this ability to be present for most felines.

can tell a Clemson fan how to be a propper Clemson fan. I would never tell a Winthrop fan how to be a propper Winthrop fan in whatever sports Winthrop plays.

I am a huge dedicated and loyal Clemson fan for many reasons. One my daughter is a 2015 grad, my sister is a 1980 grad and other family members and friends are Clemson grads to. I have been attending Clemson events since the 70’s long before you stepped on Campus. I was at the 1981 NC game. I have donated money to both Clemson and to Winthrop. So I would say that makes me a pretty loyal Tiger fan.
I have supported Clemson in many ways. You don’t have to be an alum to be a loyal dedicated fan! By the way I notice you are a (former) IPTAY member??? My daughter and I are active members of IPTAY. So I would say I am more of a Clemson Fan who went to Winthrop.
And I don’t remember telling you how to be a fan. I just pointed out how negative many of you post are. And as a paying member of Tigernet I have never changed my screen name. And I at least respect everyone on Tigernet to refrain from calling them morons!

Did you just marjinalize 98% of the football team?

Do you think that TL did this by himself with an average team?
I hope this was sarcasm. If it was, that opens up a huge question of ###? Who has that kind of time and for what end?
BTW, we won't be great in Men's Basketball unless the coaches and University want to play the game with the big boys. That ain't going to happen.

The most frightening thing about this entire thread, is that someone, a moron, will print it and send it to Dabo, then we will have to listen to his ranting about it in his next presser on how ungrateful that some of our fan base are of Clemson athletics, when this was the opinion of one fan, Francis Marion®!!! Do you see what you have done Francis Marion®!!!

AHhhhh, you could be onto something there bc, I could see age having a lot to do with the emotions of older folks. It's similar to that of confetti syndrome, it causes tears from the heart when something really good happens to the special care about things in your life!!!

1) I think you're being very harsh in your assessment of the Football programme, we're far better than just relying on a few QBs.
2) In my experience, employers don't perform better when fearing for their jobs. They tend to "play safe" rather than trying to improve or excel.
3) Can you provide a link to the proven facts that potential employees respect those employers who rule by fear?

Assuming you are serious, that is BS. CLemson football is the envy of every school in the country. We didn't do it with 2 QBs. We had stellar defensive player and WRs. FACT!
I don't think a middle of the pack ACC team (on the NCAA bubble) is graded an F. AND baseball is on the rise. We just swept #3 UNC.
WAKE UP or stop doing drugs.

Well, this is my 20th year in IPTAY and wish the best for all sports,but I'm not writing that much so brief summary of my thoughts:
Football - loooovvvvvve it! Go Dabo! Kick some chicken butt for the next 100 years Baseball - no time to follow much other than win/losses, but wish we could get over the recent hump. I go to the CWS each year, wish we could be there more! Soccer - whatever, not a big fan of the sport in general Golf - pretty good I guess Women BBall - really no thoughts either way Men BBall - this really does bother me because I do like hoops and we are "always" so close yet so far! I think it was a huge mistake to give BB a contract extension after one good season and so many bad ones. I personally feel the misses this year are his fault due to bad coaching
Now I will go back to watching all the conference upsets...
