Seriously contemplating giving up my fanhood. CU athletics
Jan 4, 2012, 11:09 PM
|
|
seem to only bring me pain. The very few positive moments sprinkled over my lifetime just aren't worth all of the frustration, aggravation, and EMBARRASSMENT!!
It's really sad. CU athletics used to be something I actually enjoyed and something I took great pride in being associated with. I really feel like my beloved family dog died tonight.

Yeah, right. Here we sit licking wounds that may never heal and down in Columbia they are celebrating a top ten finish - I would trade for that!

grams are ALL behind the coots right now in the big three and that should never be. We are Clemson and we are better than that. This might push us out of the top 25. A shame for a season that once showed so much promise.

in the morning to contemplate your place in the universe, and what it all means. Then do a Wake & Bake Special. If you're out, do a thorough search of your kid's room, he probably has a stash. Then drink heavily whenever we play.
Trust me on this one, it's gotten me through the last quarter century.

If MAJOR changes don't happen IMMEDIATELY, then...
Jan 5, 2012, 11:57 AM

...this tells me loud and clear that the Clemons BOT and the athletics department, deep down, and not just monetarily (they put up good money for Morris), AND I think that Dabo should refuse to accept his raise in salary after that debacle, THAT THEY JUST DON'T CARE.
If they really don't care, then why should I and my family?
If I don't see this addressed with the seriousness that it warrants, then my days of investing money to travel to games is done, and this time I MEAN IT!! Done!
I may watch the Clemson team on TV, but only if I have NOTHING else to do.
All of this is predicated on SUBSTANTIVE coaching changes in short order.

Nothing, whatsoever. Yeah the four losses were astronomically bad but dude...if you can't handle this kind of a season, then maybe you really should quit pulling for Clemson... sports in general is an emotional roller coaster...either learn to deal with it or get off.

Please let me help you. Box up all your Clemson clothing and stuff,mail it all to me. In return I'll send you a nice LSU sweatshirt so you can call yourself a winner. However, when,not if, LSU loses a game, you are on your own.

Stan,
Don't do it. I am not a tiger fan (Go Coots!), and trust me, I know the humility of loosing. But you guys have a good team, a good coach and a Great Tradition. You can't control the outcome, just cheer for your boys. Y'all will get back in the groove.
BTW, you did win 10 games this year..and the ACC Championship. We haven't one our conference (yet). And 10 wins hasn't happened but maybe two times.
