RULES for Clemson Fans this Weekend -- NC State 2018 edition


Oct 14, 2018, 9:56 PM

Let's call it what it is...
This game has turned into more of a rivalry in football than the Clemson/Sakerlina game. NC State has continued to get close year after year. And recently, the gamesmanship has become dirty. Stolen towels, laptops on the sidelines, trash-talking in the media, etc. We've seen the power of the Clemson fanbase, and over the last few weeks, there's been some division. It's time to get united. If NC State wants it, let's be there to give it to them.

This is the play-in game for the ACC Championship and the entire country is watching!

1. Wear Orange as a primary color to your attire. No white, black, navy, purple, pink, yellow with green bowtie, blue, seer sucker, or any other color. ORANGE! We're looking at temps in the high 60s and a possibility of some rain. Plan now! If you need help, just think like this when you're laying out your clothes, "If what I am wearing today were worn by EVERYONE in Death Valley, would the crowd still look like a 'Sea of Orange?'".

2. Don't sell your tickets to NC State fans or scalpers. When in doubt, ask them to name the kicker, the defensive coordinator, the offensive coordinator (trick question), or who used to wear #28.

3. DO NOT pull in your tailgating spot after 11am. DON'T BE THAT GUY/GIRL. Get there early, set up, and enjoy yourselves. Traffic is going to be the worst it has been all season. This ain't no Noon game and it sure as heck isn't Furman.

4. Go to Tigerwalk. 1:20pm (aka 2 hours and 10 minutes before every game). Let the boys know we're ready to go! Students, this means you too!

5. Get in the stadium EARLY and be somewhat sober. As soon as the band goes by the stadium, head in! No more whining about missing the Tigers running down the Hill. If you miss it, it's because you didn't get to your seats after the band went by. Be in your seat by 3:00pm; bonus points for dragging a frat boy to his seat. If you're drunk, you can't effectively be the fanbase we're capable of being! Remember, Miami 2005 was the loudest game in Death Valley history; that was a 3:30 game!

6. If you are a student and you have a Hill ticket, get there by 2:45pm and sit on the band side of the Hill. The other side fills up so fast because of students coming in from Gate 5, and then the band side is completely empty. Don’t be a sheep and follow the crowd…plus, you’ll get a better spot. If you're coming getting to the Hill after about 3:00pm, you won't be able to move to that side of The Hill. You're welcome.

7. If you are a student and you have a ticket but it's not what you wanted, be grateful you have a ticket and get your butt there! There are about 10,000 students that don't have a ticket to the game, or they have to find one and figure out how to pay rent. Don't be a "non-user." There's nothing worse than a "non-user." The student section is the base of energy for our stadium! You think the rest of us know what the heck is being said in all these rap songs?! Show us how to do it!

8. Go to the bathroom on your way to your seat. Otherwise, you are going to miss something.

9. If we are on defense, yell at the top of your lungs/clap/stomp/make noise. Start making noise after the previous play is complete. NC State shouldn't be able to hear a thing when they BEGIN signaling in plays. Don't get mad at the players for not making a play or the coaches for not making a good play-call if you aren't doing your job either! If you aren't hoarse on Sunday, you didn't do your job. NC State's RB claimed "We know we can silence their crowd!" He better not hear one play call or one snap count the entire game! Don't be the crowd that goes silent in the second quarter, or after an NC State first down or score. No matter what, be a FACTOR!

10. Hush when we are on offense. No sound. SHHHHHH!

11. If you 'Woo Hoo', you aren't a true fan. If you don't know how it originated, look it up. Real Clemson fans don't 'Woo Hoo.' It kills me to know they were teaching it at freshman orientation a few years ago. There's no debating this one, and thankfully it's dying.

12. Stand up for every drive. Yep -- just like GT in 2006. It's going to be like that. You can sit during halftime and timeouts. If you can't stand, this might not be the game to come to unless you have front-row seats. Send your grand kids and teach them how we roll!

13. If the refs make a bad call, let them have it. Relentless. We've seen our fair share of Ron Cherrys and we sure have been victim to holding a lot this season, yet the flag has been thrown...twice? We need the refs to FEAR making a terrible call.

14. No matter what, DO NOT leave the game early. Your ticket is worth over $200, minimum, even for a top-deck seat. Make sure you get every bit of value out of it. The traffic is going to suck -- own it. Be prepared and plan on watching a bit of the night games at a tailgating spot after our game. You have two choices after the game if it isn't a blowout -- you can tailgate for an extra hour with other Tigers, or you can sit in traffic and burn gas for an hour. Easy choice.

15. Be nice to the NC State fans. It's going to really stink for them to drive home with an 'L.' You'll make it so much worse when it's hard to be mad at Clemson fans. No laptop or towel comments. As my mother always said, "Kill em with kindness."

16. Get plenty of sleep the night before. I don't need anyone falling asleep on us!

17. During the Alma Mater, don't raise your hand until, "O'er" in "O'er the mountain height." Also, when you raise your hand, tuck that thumb in! Remember -- you're holding your Rat Cap! If you don't know what that is, you have some homework!

We punch our ticket to the ACC Championship this Saturday. Let's get it!

Tigers run down the Hill at 3:20pm!

NC St has a trash-value to them, but I never experienced anything bad outside of the student section when we were @ Maryland.

WVU was just weird.

they are only good for a quarter if that.

I can't justify covering somebody's IPTAY donation, profit and face value of a ticket I will only use for an hour.

so we are bringing them to see floats on bowman and family and friends and then watching the game on tv when they will hopefully be napping.

Lots of agreement here. But ...

Regarding #3: traffic will not be the worst. The worst games for traffic are noon and night games. Noon is the worst driving in, night is the worst driving out. Even with a full crowd, a 3:30 PM game is very manageable since the arriving and departing crowds are spread out.

Regarding #17: you’re correct on the timing of the wave. However the thumbs only go under the hand for current students to indicate that they are still holding their cap. The thumbs are out for graduates showing they no longer hold their cap and have graduated.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: RULES for Clemson Fans this Weekend -- NC State 2018 edition


Oct 15, 2018, 11:05 AM

Never heard that for #17

You have a source for that? Seems weird as most still have a cover as a military member and would still need to hold that thumb in otherwise wouldn't be able to hold onto their cover. Also, even upperclassmen had covers. Did they not wave their covers at all?

I don't think that's right.

That’s the way I’ve always understood it. I just asked my son who is a freshman at Clemson. He said that’s the way (thumb untucked for graduates) Tiger Band taught it to the students just before tiger prowl this year. Maybe a Tiger band member could validate that? I’ve also seen it written the way you indicate. I’ll see if I can put my hands on something...
