HELP...Need a quick comeback to a Coots email.


Jul 18, 2007, 3:28 PM

He sent me a BS article via email about how Clemson is should not be considered a "football school." So naturally I emailed him back "This is South Carolina Football."

His response was the following..."The only difference is we know we have never been good. Clemson thinks they are a national powerhouse."

I was thinking about responding with how many conference championships we've won, etc.

GIVE ME SOME INPUT FAST!
Thanks.

after all, showing such gross ignorance of another human being simply because of the institution where he or she received his or her degree ranks among the same ignorance of judging a person by the color of hisor skin, judging him or her by nationality, or judging the person by his or her economic upbringing.

while it's certainly honorable to be proud of your alma mater, it's naive and childish to think that every person of another school is "redneck" or "stupid" or "white trash."

Is Clemson not a "football school"?

Re: how about you admit that maybe SOME Clemson fans


Jul 18, 2007, 4:23 PM

Interesting that even in the glorious 80s we were still only the 12th best team. Whereas, the "mediocre" Bowden years (2000-2006)have us ranked at a "woeful" 24th. I guess everyone has their own defintion of mediocre but I think most programs would be happy with being a perennial Top 25 team in this day and age. If nothing else, the fact that the program dropped from 12 to 31 in one 10 year span and Bowden has managed to improve from 31 to 24 in seven years certainly adds credibility to the argument that the program is headed in the right direction, despite what the naysayers may claim.

You got him to admit USC sucks and have done nothing in football. Tell him you would rather live in 1981 than in 19neverwas....

Clemson football isn't fancy. Clemson football is having a good kicking game, winning with the kicking game, hit you on defense, don't turn the ball over and be able to control the ball.

Here was my response....

We know that you?ve never been good either.
I don?t think I?ve heard many Clemson fans claim that we are a National Powerhouse, but we are considered a football school. I would think that if your school is consistently ranked within the Top 25-35 in wins, most points scored, etc, decade after decade that you could label yourself as a football school.
The numbers speak for themselves.

Let me know how many categories you find in which Carolina is in the top 25?

The list goes on and on and on and on?..


Clemson Conference Championships = 18
Carolina Conference Championships = 1

Clemson Bowl Appearances = 27
Carolina Bowl Appearances = 11 (first bowl win was 103 years after the school started its football team?.WOW)

Clemson National Championships = 1
Carolina National Championships = HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Never.


All in all, the numbers prove that Clemson is a ?football school.? NUFF SAID!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Took me awhile to retrieve these, but...


Jul 18, 2007, 4:52 PM

maybe you can use them in the future.

A writer from Boston ranked Clemson as the 18th football program of all-time last year based on the following:
*All time winning percentage
*AP/ UPI championships, ESPN since 98
*conference titles
*bowl appearances
*total wins

In 2004, CFN ranked Clemson 37th all-time.

And in the middle of SEC territory, the Tuscoloosa News last year ranked Clemson as the 24th all-time program.

Street and Smiths also did a Top 50 in 2005, but I have been unable to find the rankings from that one.

All of these were put together by individuals/media from other parts of the country unassociated with Clemson. I think it falls in line with where most Clemson people feel our program ranks all-time.
