5 Reasons To Hate Clemson
Here are 5 reasons Alabama fans should hate the Clemson Tigers.
ICYMI: It’s time to ignore the Nick Saban job rumors once again.
We are an SEC school, so we believe in life, liberty, and hating the guts of your opponent. There’s nothing more SEC than good clean old fashioned hate between two football teams. The problem is that the Clemson Tigers aren’t a team that Alabama is used to seeing, so it may be hard to muster up those usual feelings of animosity. Fear not though, we’ve got 5 reasons why you as an Alabama fan should hate the Clemson Tigers.
CLEMSON IS SOUTH CAROLINA AUBURN
Lewis Grizzard once described Auburn and Clemson like this:
"“Clemson is Auburn with a lake, and Auburn is Clemson without a lake.”"
Auburn and Clemson are both land grant little brother schools that were built to focus on agriculture and taking care of cattle. (Unlike Auburn though Clemson’s big brother is kind of a mess who just hired Will Muschamp.) They also have similar architecture.
Due to their similarities I had suggested that we call Auburn fans “aquatic barners” this week, but other worthy options have also come to the forefront.
@banditref I had them as palmetto barners but I can switch.

This one is fun because South Carolina is of course the palmetto state, and palmetto bugs is the kind gentle southern description for cockroaches. And we know that these cockroaches are awful cocky right now!
Of course architecture and being an Auburn style cow college aren’t the only reasons you should hate Clemson.
Next: They are the Tigers too
