Quit whining. Those with this attitude sound like 3 year olds.
I don't care if Clemson wins or loses. Quit letting another team's success or failure influence you.
When we were winning 5 in a row over Clemson, one of my Clemson friends was always talking to me about how much he hated the streak and how he hated South Carolina and on and on and on.
I finally told him one day " I never knew how much South Carolina was in your head. You are consumed with all things South Carolina Gamecock and it's wearing you out."
He never really responded to me but I think he realized how stupid he sounded and was acting.
I can't figure out when people waste their time worrying about what another team does good or bad.
When my Clemson friends ask me if I am going to watch the Clemson national title game- or pull for or against Clemson - my answer is always the same- the same as it's been for years now
"I might or might not watch- depends on what I am doing. It doesn't matter to me either way if they win or lose. I don't care at all."
That answer happens to be true, and I think it also drives my Clemson friends mad when I say it.
They'd love for me to hate on them or be pulling for or against them. They can't stand the indifference. But it's the truth for me.
I know we should pull for state schools and all and that every school has their set of annoying fans but 95% of Clemson fans I have run into the last couple of months have been horrible. It has gotten worse and worse almost to the point I cant even be around them in any way at all. I even try to congratulate them on getting number one in first poll and they wont even let me talk by yelling like crazy in the office and taunting with it and all. I even congratulated on the win the other night and they were so obnoxious that I could not bear it. It is clear it comes from the "Good ole country boy" Dabo (which I think is an absolute act). He acts like such a dork when they win it is annoying. He is not a Good ole country boy, but really a pompous arrogant guy who is trying act like he has an "aww shucks" attitude. He has been number one for quite a while so why act like no one thinks you can do anything. All the fans are buying that as well. I know if my team was about to play for the national title, I would be excited but I know I would act a lot better than 95% of the Clemson fans I have run into lately. If they win Monday, I might not go anywhere not because of being a poor sport but because I cant stand to hear anymore. I know there are some good Clemson fans but even people I thought would be good about all this have been awful to deal with.
