[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 594583, member: 435"] By "farmers", I meant and all-inclusive group of non-graduates of Clemson; some are farmers, some are gofers, some are private business owners, most are just good-old-boys, and I am not taking anything away from any of them. They LOVE the Clemson Tigers and they give what they can to support them. In other words they are LOYAL fans. Tech just doesn't have that many such people as fans anymore, although we sure did until the late 50s or mid 60s. The BIG mistake Tech made was not embracing those fans and encouraging them to give, even giving them some kind of reward for their support, no matter how limited. Unfortunately, Tech, and especially the "eilite" from Atlanta looked down on such fans and pretty much ignored them. Until the late 50s, and maybe until Dodd stupidly pulled us out of the SEC, Tech was one of the biggest draws in the south, and known and respected nation-wide. In spite of some equivalent success on the field, including against the Jackets, Georgia NEVER had that kind of reputation or draw until Tech left the SEC and Georgia hired Dooley. Let's face it: Dodd and ADx both before and after him totally blew it. Thank God for TStan. I just hope it's not too late. [/QUOTE]
