My conference is better than your conference, so there.
That one statement, which sounds petty and like a six-year old trying to win an argument with their five-year old neighbor, is the last bastion of the ignorant and misinformed. And people who cheer for programs that don’t have their own individual successes to brag about.
Prior to Saturday’s kickoff against South Carolina in Williams-Brice Stadium, I was roaming the sidelines as usual, looking for picture opportunities for Twitter and talking to some of the personnel that surround the program. At one point, I heard a roar from the Clemson fans already on hand and turned around to see the Clemson players and coaches begin Victory Walk.
