Why do ACC fans invest so much time discussing SEC football?


May 4, 2013, 2:11 PM

Whether it be talk radio, message boards, or watercooler chatter, I rarely hear ACC fans (Clemson fans included) discussing ACC football. It is almost as if ACC football is dismissed by Clemson fans simply due to the fact they spend more time commenting on UGA, SC, Tennessee, Bama, etc.

I'm assuming it is more fun to talk college football with other folks who are passionate about it (i.e. SEC fans). Or, since Clemson is making its presence felt on the national stage, that stage is occupied by far more SEC schools than ACC schools.

Either way, it seems I rarely hear in-depth conversations about the ACC teams, player personnel, etc. It's almost as if Clemson fans would rather join into the SEC chatter than to create meaningful ACC conversation.

The reason you come here to state this is because for you the sec is all you got .

We don't boast the conference , its the school that matters .

Having the lifetime of losing that you have , you don't understand .

That's great - but Clemson does not play in the SEC. Clemson plays teams in the ACC. So while it's natural for you to belive wholeheartedly in Clemson, the question was why do Clemson fans talk more about SEC shools than ACC schools?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

After this coming season we'll have played at least 5 games


May 4, 2013, 3:13 PM

against SEC schools, the majority of which being ranked in the top 10 of the national polls.

I have a better question..

Do you actually get a jolt up your bottom by asking rhetorical questions on your rival's fan board??

Why have you had an account for over 6 years on an ACC schools fan site?

A bit of a defensive posutre. I've had an account for 6 years on only posted a few times. Usually just read. Considering how my post was received by you - is it any wonder why I might not post often?

Why do you consider yourself an "SEC fan"?

We don't consider ourselves "ACC fans".

We are Clemson fans.

you don't have to read to know


May 4, 2013, 3:16 PM

Our state rival is in the SEC so naturally they'll be talked about. our first game (next game) is against the dawgs so they'll be talked about right now and our last game was against LSU so you'll hear about that game as well. it's not rocket science brought. don't over think it. we don't care about being in that conference. if we played FSU next you would look stupid bringing this up.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

first off, we aren't "ACC fans"


May 4, 2013, 3:20 PM

There is no reason for us to talk about the ACC on the grounds that we do not root for our conference. Clemson takes no pride in having success off the coattails of other schools. The reason why the SEC is discussed so much is because of the amount of national attention brought to it all of the time. When a conference has literally that much money it's hard to ignore it. Also the SEC conspiracy, as I call it, always makes those transmit highly ranked because they start at the top 10 in polls before games are even played, so it's only natural that they play each other and stay up high. Of course people are going to talk about the highly ranked teams. Heck I talked with my buddies about other highly ranked teams like Oregon all year. Not to mention Clemson has to compete with the SEC in recruiting so much, it's only natural that we try to keep tabs on them and stay ahead.

Clemson fans spend more time talking about Clemson football than they do SEC football. I promise.

Is that OP is right and no one on here can acknowledge it nor explain, yet OP is trashed for asking a legit question.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What are you talking about?


May 5, 2013, 1:01 PM

Everyone has explained it, and few have "trashed" him. We are CLEMSON fans. We don't like seeing our RIVALS succeed. You $EC fanboys think the way you do because of the E$PN hype machine that is out to protect their own brand.

There is no "SEC UNIVERSITY." There is no "ACC UNIVERSITY."

There is only Clemson, and everyone else

We have talked about JawJaw and the Capons...


May 5, 2013, 9:59 AM

I've seen talk about LSU's defense, and last year, there was considerable chatter about the train wreck that is Auburn.

All of which makes sense, given that these were opponents of Clemson.


If you can show me this "SEC football" chatter you're referencing, I'd appreciate it.

As true sons of Clemson (for there are no true sons of ACC football) we would of course discuss our opponents. But trust me when I tell you we don't give two hoots in #### what their conference affiliation is.

We stand and fall with Clemson, and choose not to lean on the spurrious crutch of conference.
