Suggested New Year's resolution: stop caring what ESPN thinks.
Dec 25, 2015, 1:41 PM

Some of you get so offended by ESPN, what they say about us, what they don't say about us, and what they say about other teams and conferences. Guess what? Their opinion doesn't matter. They can't control Clemson or how we play. Their main objective is to fill air time with opinions that get ratings. Saying sweet things about Clemson all the time won't get them max ratings.
So let's all try to focus on other, more positive things that benefit CLEMSON. Go Tigers!

If you are the Keller I grew up with, your business (now run by your son) must be making you all rich!
I will never forget your Dad, turning on light in area when needed. But what a legacy!

I am not related to anyone involved with Judge Keller's. I just wanted a Clemson screen name and have always thought the store was neat.

Don't say their opinion doesn't matter when it most
Dec 25, 2015, 2:37 PM

certainly does.
Their opinion affects voting, perception, Heisman, recruits, etc. etc.
Now I believe there are tin-foil hats on the extreme of ESPN hate, but to completely discredit like you've said is the opposite side of the same extreme coin.

You are exactly right......we need to call ESPN out for what they really are.......because there biased SEC propaganda reporting does matter and is not fair to the ACC and the other football conferences across the nation.....and with ESPN now televising many of our football games I am sick and tired of listening to these ESPN clowns during our games and always slurring off on our team.....all I want is for them to be fair to us and that will NEVER happen as long as the SEC helps pay their bills......all these jokers DEFENDING these clowns need to just STOP and call spade a spade.....Go Tigers!!!!!

they think. In that respect, it is kind of crazy to get worked up about it. However, it is a problem because they do influence other people who have influence or can otherwise impact our fortunes.

I was concerned with the publicity we got when we were 9-3 or 10-2 and still knocking on the door.
At 13-0 and playing for the national championship...it doesn't matter what people say!!! It's a beautiful thing.
Go Tigers!!!

If you think that I will just stand by while the professed "world wide leader in sports", desecrates the name of Clemson, you will be disappointed.
Username... Judge Keller, I ask you as a resolution to remember...
How does the term "Clemsoning" make you feel? How do you feel when you hear that Clemson has SEC speed, or SEC talent, or that they play like an SEC team? What effect does it have on you when a high school recruit says that he wants to play "big boy football" in the SEC?
Now, who do you think is perpetuating that fraudulence? Is it not sports media and is ESPiN not considered the "world wide leader" in such media. I am certain that ESecPN is in the business of selling TV, internet clicks, and magazines. I am certain that they will do what is necessary to protect their investments. Currently there is an SEC network and they are fighting fiercely to protect their product... their source of income. Anything that rivals their intentions must be trampled, discredited, and weakened. They picked this fight, not me.
While I have always appreciated what ESPN has to offer, I want to point out that they picked sides first. They are the media, they claim to be neutral, and they decided which horse they should ride. They know what we all know... College Football is king in the South East. They picked their conference, they sold the idea of a 1 loss SEC team, and they continued to beat that horse long after its demise. What they forgot though, is that there are other teams in the South East. Other teams who also play this game and have a history. Many of those teams belong to a conference that is sold by ESPiN to be the "weakest" conference, the ACC. But check the ACC's history and you will see, that they've also won championships, they've also invested money, their fans also watch television. And so do teams from all over our Great Country.
I agree that what they say doesn't matter, and I don't care what ESPN has to say, but that won't keep me from speaking up about their lies.
FIGHT TIGERS, FIGHT TIGERS, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

You are 100% correct......bias views and propaganda have been used by the powerful since the beginning of time to influence opinions of others......and if you do not think is a very powerful network which does not have the capability to influence others with their bogus and biased opinions about the SEC then they have also got you fooled........all the other conferences just need to tell them to SHUT UP ABOUT THE SEC and just boycott and refuse to play on their networks......then maybe they will get the message because their powerful SEC want be able to save them then......Go Tigers!!!!!

ESPN has provided live sports to more than ever.

Of course it has come at a cost. I love that I can watch or rewatch so many Clemson athletic events on television or internet. Thanks to ESPN.
I don't want everyone to quit ESPN, rather I want ESPN to quit their agenda. In time they will have no choice. This entire country will not turn their backs on their teams to root for the SEC. Once they realize that... Things will become more balanced.

But you are incorrect about one thing. What they say does effect how we play. The games they had us as big favorites we got by and won. The games they said we'd lose, we dominated. So what they say does effect us. But when they're dogging us tiger fans should feel good. Because we can beat anyone when we want to.
GO TIGERS!!!

I understand ESPN's position and influence in college football. They have an obvious bias toward the media darlings and 'traditional power programs'. But as with most idiots I know, the more they are proven wrong, the more they dig in their heels and keep spouting nonsense. The difference here is that as Clemson continues to dominate, the talking heads have diarrhea of the mouth and don't know what to do about it. They don't know what to say or how to look at our Tigers. So they bash us, talk trash, build up the other CFP teams and write us off. I say let 'em keep doing it, because we keep winning!!!! I watch them for entertainment only, because if you're looking for knowledge or insight...ESPN will let you down every time!
