Clemson Football Is Really Into Twilight

So here’s the 2013 national signing day pic blowing up Twitter … Pictured? Clemson University running backs coach Tony Elliott. Snapping the pic? Tigers’ recruiting coordinator/ wide receivers coach Jeff Scott. The occasion? Clemson’s receipt of a national letter of intent from five-star defensive back Mackenzie Alexander of Immokalee, Florida. All…

So here’s the 2013 national signing day pic blowing up Twitter …

Pictured? Clemson University running backs coach Tony Elliott. Snapping the pic? Tigers’ recruiting coordinator/ wide receivers coach Jeff Scott. The occasion? Clemson’s receipt of a national letter of intent from five-star defensive back Mackenzie Alexander of Immokalee, Florida.

All that’s well and good …

What’s a little off?

Um … how about the rash of Twilight posters covering the walls?

Obviously this is a receptionist’s office (who do you think handles faxes at Clemson’s athletics department when it isn’t national signing day?), but it’s still friggin’ hilarious. Especially the homemade poster where this as-yet-unidentified worker superimposes her own face between those of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

Good stuff … and seriously Tiger assistants, how is it nobody stopped and thought to themselves, “hey, wait a minute, maybe we should step out in the hall and take this picture without a wall-full of gay Twilight crap behind us?”

Oh, for those of you keeping score at home 247 Sports ranked Clemson’s 2013 class No. 15 in the nation – five spots ahead of the University of South Carolina’s incoming freshman class. Scout.com ranked Clemson No. 13 and USC No. 21. ESPN also ranked Clemson No. 13, and USC No. 17. Meanwhile Rivals.com ranked Clemson’s class No. 14 and USC’s No. 16.

Now, let the photo captioning commence!

Here is my letter of acceptance into the Army! I hereby quit Clemson Football!!!

Falling fairies from the sky.
I broke a nail, Oh I could cry,
Don’t you like how my tushy sways?
We are the fags of the Queen Berets.

Barack Obama’s words upon my ears
“You guys have rights, be proud you’re queer”
I once was scared, now I’m okay.
Cause I’m a fag in the Green Berets.

Put silver earclips on my nuts.
I love the pain, now spank my butt.
The way you walk is awfully cute.
I sure would love to pack your chute.

Now when I walk the married aisle,
I can wear a dress, and crack a smile,
and on our honeymoon, I can bend over for my man
and he can consummate me the best he can

This Army stuff is awfully slick.
Free meals and clothes and lots of dick.
When I retire, I’ll still get my pay.
I thank you Barack, from the Queen Berets.

the same Mackenzie Alexander who get this changed his first choice 19 times during the recruting process. Glad yall have a head-case to go with the swollen one of the Head Waterboy Dablow Swinney. Congrats Pickens A&M!!!

hasnt clemson had the better recruiting “rank” like the last 6 years? How has that worked out for them? the last 4 years they FINISHED lower ranked than USC and lost to them too. NUFF SAID!!!

Those rankings don’t account for the type of players (i.e. lineman v. skill players).

Clemson landed a bunch of DBs, at least one very highly rated. It was a decent class.

But USC landed a lot of highly ranked players along the lines of scrimmage, where we have dominated the past four years.

This class will help continue that trend.

Clemson pretty much ALWAYS has a better class than USC…..

but piss poor coaching manages to waste it every year..

thats why so few USC fans care about how clemson ranks in recruiting..

Clemson may have had the “higher ranked” classes. That doesn’t mean they’ve landed the better players. Rankings are subjective projections and often very wrong. The proof is in the pudding.

do you think Carolina is worried about what any of those over payed under skilled coaches as Cowtech say? Other than to beat em again and again and laugh at the old historians, gamecocks could care less what some podunk assistant coach says.

Looks like i have been wrong this whole time about USC and Clemson or maybe the ACC and SEC too.

According to OrangeandWhite.com a Clemson website, “Clemson student-athletes posted a 2.99 GPA for the spring semester of 2012, the highest on record, according to data released by Clemson University’s Office of Institutional Research and Planning.”
According to WLTX “USC announced Monday that the school set the highest departmental grade point average (GPA) on record (3.267), based on numbers from the Fall 2012 semester. That broke the previous record of 3.202 set in Fall of 2011. USC athletics officials say Gamecock student-athletes have posted a combined GPA of 3.0 or better for 12 consecutive semesters.”
So as far as Clemson being smarter, it has its highest GPA ever of 2.99, never actually breaking the 3.0 mark and yet USC has 12 in a row over 3.0. Hmmm. That’s 6 years for those of you at Clemson playing sports.
Well Im sure that the football team is smarter right, nope.
“Clemson’s football program had a 2.61 team GPA, just below the all-time record of 2.63 set in the spring of 2008”
According to the same article/story on WLTX as earlier, “USC Football GPA was 2.918”

Twilight movie is widely considered to be gay. Purple is the “gay” color, the coach looks gay, IT looks like Clemson really is a bunch of purple loving, lisp talking, sissy little homo’s. They sure play like them. Maybe Jim Sweet knows something about this.

Jim Sweet is a parody of a Clemson fan. At first I thought he was just an over-the-top Clemson fan but then I realized he was actually poking fun at them.

This picture of Clemson assistant coach Tony Elliott tweeted by Clemson recruiting coordinator Jeff Scott is making the rounds of the web not because of the national letter of intent but for the Twilight movie posters on the wall. Scott addressed the photo at his NSD press conference and said the posters are in a secretary’s office where the fax machine is located not his or Elliott’s office.

“Myself and Coach Elliott actually have never seen Twilight so sorry to disappoint anyone there,” said Scott.
