Big News in TigerTown

As everyone knows, there was some big news in Clemson yesterday...the return of the large Paw on the helmet.

See below for a quick comparison.

Now T-Net can resume the great debate over whether the world will end if Korn doesn't play exactly half the game all games, etc...

On to real shit, in addition to naming a season opener starter at the QB position, Swinney (as well expected) has declared his intentions to redshirt five-star freshman Tajih Boyd. Good move; I also cannot wait to see more footage of him as he seems to have gained a lot of attention in the small amount of time he has been on the practice field.

The final, and most disappointing news comes out of New York, as now I will have to hear even more out of Greg Paulus. As if the flopping wasn't enough, he now is the starting QB for an extremely shitty football team. This year is already starting out strange.

Don't know if you can do it but it would be nice to have a helment with the smaller paw on it next to the one with the big paw so we could see the comparison. My personal opinion, is that they should wear Orange jerseys and white pants for every home game, and white jerseys and white pants for the away games. Purple should never be worn, and they should maybe wear all orange at home every couple of years (that should be reserved for when we are playing teams ranked in the top 10). The idea that they have to change the uniform in order to get the players (or fans) excited is ridiculous, and a team looks like a bunch of idiots when they change it and still get whipped (see VT game a few years ago, or UGA-Alabama last year).

I also think some of the things the coaches wear make them look like a bunch of dorks, but I suspect Nike tells them what to wear. Dabo should have gotten some pointers from Danny about gameday attire when he was out at the farm.

IMO, orange shirts, white pants at home
white shirts, white pants on the road.

NO PURPLE

Orange pants for big games IF we deserve to wear them. Clemson should not get beaten in orange pants, period.

We shouldnt fucking wear orange pants until we win another ACC title, I'm sick of ruining their status as just another uniform combo.

This team needs to DO something before ever being given a chance to wear them again.

I agree with yall. It just makes me sick watching us wear orange pants against Duke...they used to be special, and now they are just another uniform. Once a season is really too often to wear them if we want them to be special.
