How are Clemson fans different from North Texas fans? Clemson fans are more stupid!

I feel less inclined to poke at opponents when we are re-opening discussions about Vizza whereabouts, Dodge vs. Dickey and what to name a treed area next to the new stadium.

Wait a second.... you're talking crap about a LEGIT Football Program and you're from a school that is predominately known for their Jazz Program? I didn't know you even had a football team until a few months ago.

I think it's predominantly (didn't graduate from that fabulous College of Music, but know that they're hell on spelling). And hey, I didn't know that Presbyterian had a football team until a couple of weeks ago, or that there was a Presbyterian College. So, since you correctly identified our chief claim to fame, which has played for Presidents, Kings, Queens, and Ella Fitzgerald (at the Spoleto Festival in South Carolina, by the way), what is Clemson's, other than a football program that schedules those unknowns UNT and Presbyterian back to back?

Is Clemson known predominately for their football rather than academics? You see, I think something is wrong at your university. ;)

Wow, never hear of Joe Greene? Didn't ever drink a Coke? Here, have mine.

Nope. US News & World has us as the 23rd best public university in the country. http://www.clemson.edu/media-relations/article.php?article_id=3019 Football and basketball made the post-season and baseball went to Omaha. Not too shabby.

+1 to you for a mention of Bones Malone, because I (big fan of the Jazz Studies Program) did not realize he was one of our alumni. Music Scool alums would be glad to visit with you, and few in Denton seem to care all that much about Dr. Phil. Blue Lou helped recruit the pianist at my church to North Texas.

Didn't realize you guys were in Denton. Is that the same Denton the Mountain Goats are singing about in "The Best Ever Death Metal Band out of Denton":

Dang, I kinda want to listen to that, some time when my wife isn't asleep in the next room. I have little doubt this would be about Denton; hey the Album was "All Hail West Texas" (Denton is in North, not West Texas, by the way). Anything, musical, why not? Probably no more weird than the part in "Rocky Horror Picture Show" where the sign at the edge of town announces "Denton, Home of Happiness".

Ok, the "Mountain Goats", apparently one guy, John Darnielle, lived in Denton at one point in his life; it's here in his Wikipedia bio:

Anyone who knows the Mountain Goats is okay in my book. The Sunset Tree was one of my favorite albums of the last decade.

Got to see them on the Get Lonely tour in a tiny room. I play guitar solo (and with a band) and "No Children" off Tallahassee is a fan favorite even though not many people know them here. I've offered John my lake house for a week and he says at some point he'll take me up on it. He lives up the road in Durham, NC (suck it Blue Devils - http://www.theonion.com/articles/duke-university-equestrian-team-hoping-to-avoid-in,1934/). And The Sunset Tree remains one of my all-time favorites by any band. But we digress. Boo Mean Green.

I'm not going to argue that point. This was probably our low point though:

"Pussy Galore" - or whoever that first guy who swung through and wouldn't shut up about beating South Carolina was - didn't get this reference when I made it. Jad Dean is 90% of what I know about Clemson.
