Some people . . . (kind of long)

Oct 30, 2005, 7:10 PM

What is it some people on here? These people let a bunch of 18-22 year olds playing a game run their life. Get over it people. These are college STUDENTS playing a game. Get a hobby or something. I get tired of reading this board, going to class, going around in Clemson and hearing people talk about our football team as if it is all that matters in this world. I love Clemson as much, if not more than any of you, but please. Real fans support there team, their players and its coaches when things are going great and when you lose 10-9.
Finally, for those people that think Charlie Whitehurst should be benched, are you kidding me? This man has been the face of Clemson football for the last 3.5 years and has been our most consistent player during that time. The man is human, he goes 19-30 and some people want him benched? Support # 6, support our team, and support our coaches. It's football, there is a whole more going on in the world for us to gripe about. I look at clemson, and football, as something to enjoy and use to get away from the real world. Some people need to understand that. One Clemson, lets not forget this.

I agree with everything. Except when you talk about supporting the team, the players, and the coaches. Because that is where you are wrong, pal.
When you are loosing you can't support them all. If you are supporting the team, then you should want what is best for the team. And if a player is not helping the team out like he (or his backup) could, then they should be benched. Also, the coaches jobs are to win. Teachers and professors come to class every day to TEACH, if the students are learning anything then they are not doing their job and they will be fired. It is the same way with football, except the coaches are getting payed 1 million or + to do THEIR job. If they aren't getting the job done then we shouldn't support them. If a house was burning down, and the firemen only put out a fraction of the fire every few calls, would you support them? No, reasonable person would. That is why you can't support coaches and players that aren't helping the team.
By the way, it IS just a game. But whether you believe it or not, there are people out there who all they have is Clemson football. I know someone who lives by himself, is a janitor at a high school and doesn't have any contact with his family. Clemson Football, basketball, and baseball are the highlights of his weeks.
