Hosting an event then not letting them in the joint is funnier than clemmers buying seats so they wouldn't be used.

No, they love their jeans, and choose to refuse service to people who abuse their jeans!
Guess where I'm going to hang out after the Belk Bowl? Any place that will boot taters is alright with me.
Dale Jr just takes profit out of the place. Basically cut in on the deal for pay so they can use his name and he shows up from time to time. He runs that chain about as much as any of us do
Didn't notice them booting any white taters out. This is a bad look for that establishment.
Wrong...Dale Jr Is more active than you think. I been there with him. I'm good friends with his old boss at HMS
They probably also don't remember Clemson fans calling Homer Jordan every racial epithet that they could think of, and even invented some when he lost to Georgia.
"The thing I did that probably hurt him was start him against Georgia in Athens in the second game. [Jordan had a miserable afternoon and Clemson lost, 20-16.] He was back home, playing in front of all those people. If I was smart, I would have figured all of that out. Unfortunately I'm not that smart. But you got to put yourself in his position. He was under a bunch of pressure. When you're one of the first black quarterbacks at a school, you're going to hear things and get criticized and face a pretty gigantic burden.
"But, you know what? He's so good a kid, he probably wasn't thinking about it near as much as I thought he was thinking about it. And I was sure thinking about it a lot."
Jordan refused to let a little adversity get in his way. His determination has always been far greater than his ability to express it. "There was a lot of talk about that...racial stuff...last year," he says. "It just made me want to work harder and prove that no matter what color I am, I can go out and do the job." As for starting the Georgia game, Jordan says, "Nervous? A lot of people said I was. But I didn't feel nervous. I played in front of all those folks all my life. Why would I get nervous then?"
