What It Means To Be A Clemson Football Fan
Samantha Smith

Being a Clemson Tiger fan isn’t dependent on how long you’ve been a fan or if you can attend every game. Whether you’ve been a life-long fan or if you’re new to the fandom, one thing can be said for certain: we love our Clemson Tigers.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means being a part of something bigger than just college football.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means that no matter win or lose, we show up and cheer on our team. And at no point, should we ever boo our Tigers. Hell, we might not agree with the calls that are being made or what’s happening on the field, but booing is unacceptable. Sure, we can boo refs and bad calls, but never our own team. It’s embarrassing. It doesn’t look good for Clemson and for visiting fans. Clemson Family doesn’t stop being family because of some bad plays.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means meeting at the paw after every home game. Of course winning makes the celebration at the paw even better, but even after a tough loss, we all come together to support the team.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means waking up Saturdays in the fall, throwing on orange and purple, and getting ready to watch some Tiger football. Wind, rain, extreme heat, nothing can stop Death Valley from being packed at game time. Sticking through the roughest weather from kick-off to meeting at the paw might be tough, but if the players have to do it, we can do it.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means watching the most exciting 25 seconds in college football for every home game. Nothing compares to being in Death Valley with 80,000 fellow Clemson Tiger fans hearing the canon go off and watching the boys run down the hill.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means you bleed orange. Your entire wardrobe is dominated with orange and some purple and white.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means celebrating Solid Orange Friday every single Friday. You wake up and throw on your orange.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means that you love Dabo, the team, and President Clements like your own personal family.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means you know at least 3 things by heart: Tiger Rag, Cadence Count, and the Alma Mater.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan mean being All In for the team and all things Clemson Football.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means knowing that miracles can happen in the 4th quarter.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means nothing is more sacred than Howard's Rock (and our collection in our trophy room).

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means knowing that our team won the 2016 National Championship and they’ll do it again one day!

Nothing compares to being a Clemson Tiger fan. It’s always a great day to be a Clemson Tiger.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
