to dry out tailgate parking lots again and use extra state resources to make sure their game is played - AGAIN????
Or will they help out other Carolinians that may need help.

another hurricane. Will taters use their resources

- Start date
Come on, right now is not the time for this. A lot more serious matters to worry about.
Just curious how they react given a second chance. While SC was cleaning up, Pickens was oblivious .
If you're truly worried about resources, you should read up on how $10 million was diverted from FEMA to ICE right before hurricane season.

If your gonna trash talk at least get the facts right. It wasn't a hurricane. It wasn't even a tropical storm. It was a large extratropical system that stalled over SC. No wind just a ton of rain.
so CU should have cancelled their game so they could dry out parking lots in flood stricken areas? But didn't SC use state resources to make sure their game vs LSU was played too even if it meant moving it 4 states away? But in case you didn't know, CU loaded football equipment trailers with water, toiletries and pet food which was delivered to Columbia as well as monetary donation to the Red Cross of the Carolinas.
What state resources did USC use to take away from the disaster to play a game in Louisiana?
Home game is different than a road game. Cops for traffic could be out helping stranded citizens or clearing dangerous situations.
Except for the token cop to protect Spurrier I doubt state resources were used much for a road game.
well..yes, yes, we will. Dabo is flying the state plane down to Columbia now to make the arrangements.
hmmm...I guess Citadel and Wofford were guilty too then - PC and Coastal held their games too.
but a road game requires a lot of people and resources to prep for travel...Im sure those people could have been used for clean up efforts or just being with their families...OK, Im being sarcastic.
My point is the OP presented CU as if they decided to play football instead of contribute to disaster relief like everyone else. Put the rivalry aside for a moment. The disaster areas received help from all over the state (including Clemson) in the form of donations, services, manpower, etc. But that doesn't mean the world stops everywhere else. I donated several cases of water but I did yard work on Oct 10, 2015 instead of putting my boot on the ground. My point is don't act like CU turned a blind eye...they helped just like everyone else and they also continued with business as usual.

You’re correct but it did pull moisture from a nearby hurricane and is trash talking if it’s True ? Other than not naming the storm correctly , everything else s True.
Btw. The nearby hurricane was Joaquin . Since facts matter
This is a laughable statement. See below....
"We have plenty of resources, both monetary, staff and commodities, to respond to the storm," Jeff Byard, FEMA's associate administrator for the Office and Response and Recovery, told reporters during a morning briefing as Hurricane Florence barreled toward the Carolina coast. "We have plenty of resources to respond, plenty of resources to recover. That has not impacted our situation whatsoever."

GO COCKS!
Did not affect FEMAs budget at all. Don't spread fake news like a dumbass Democrat.
What did you think he would say ? We're doomed because our idiot in chief gutted funds for actual government work ?
good to see USC make the early call to free up resources. One less thing emergency personnel needs to worry about.
Yea, I'd expect Clemson will make every effort to play. And in reality, what will anyone be able to do Saturday other than pray for those in the middle of the storm. But they did play Notre Dame in that torrential downpour a couple of years back. And even with that weather. The place was packed as fans found a way to get there. It's big business. They aren't going to to give up that gate uess they absolutely have to. And no matter how bad it rains, the storm won't be nearly as dangerous in Clemson as it could be in Columbia
I hate it when Carolina fans take up for quempsum fans. Because taters fans are playing their game it does take away state recourses that could be helping potential hurricane victims.
1. While I enjoy watching Clem Tech about as much as Wofford, PC and Coastal, there are a lot more Highway patrol needed for a Pickens County game. The comparison isn’t even comparable.
2. I don’t really care that Clemson played because most of the people affected should have left. It’s 2018. You know if it’s coming. Get out. If you don’t and it floods no cop or firefighter should have to risk their life to save you for not moving.
Just my 2 cents. Did clemson play. Yes. Should they have cancelled. Don’t know that it matters. No one seemed to mind playing in the tropical storm.
Yes, they played a football game as usual and the HELL with the residences of the state of SC.
They will send a truck of water somewhere and write a press release with Dabo and players helping out.
Gotta hate it for the players that have family being affected with evacuations. Etc.

Nope. Because you have no idea how they will run traffic that day until it happens. They may pay county cops from Western NC or Northern GA to come over for the day and do traffic.
Some of you guys are hilarious with the hate. The whole "takes away first responders" line is nuts. Once the storm hits the coast there will be NO first responders. First responders do not go out when winds go above sustained 40 mph. So Saturday there will be no help needed on the coast until the winds die back down. Until that time people will be on their own.
Yeah Florence has decided not to affect those areas.. BS!
By the time it hits those areas it will be a tropical depression and im sure those people wont be staying in Clemson for a week. Dont be dumb.
They used local sheriff and police for the ND game. Was there, if there were any SCHP it was a very low number.
Just for the record, I hate quempsum fans and democrats.
Those areas are going to be impacted, too. I live in WNC and our First Responders are making plans NOW TO PREPARE for the hurricane.

The urine being being released in this thread will have a torrential flow exceeding that of all the rivers and streams swollen by Florence.
Even Furman cancelled its game, so as not to use state resources that are needed elsewhere. Clemson is turning a blind eye.
Ahhh, UPC is pitching in.

That is not true. Thanks to 1033, they now have Humvees and other military vehicles that cannot be blown off causeways and bridges in 40 mph winds. First responders will be out unless hurricane force winds are present.
It's the least they could do....and by that I mean the bare minimum. And Young Transportation is the one who actually did it....Clemson just taking the credit.Ahhh, UPC is pitching in.

Hell he shouldn’t need a plane with those EARS
