DUMB SHIT ON TIGERNET: VOLUME 10

This week there is a generous smattering of dumb posts on Tigernet, most centering around Gameday signs. Along with these I tossed in a couple from The Rant. I just gleamed a couple of posts from a Dawg fan, but just like I said about Fighting Gamecock Forums, finding stupid shit posted by Georgia fans is like shooting fish in a barrel. And the barrel is made of fish. And the gun is a fish, too.

The only thing Clemson fans love more than football and tailgating is a good conspiracy theory. If you read up on T-net you know that ESPN hates us, the referees are working in concert with some black hand group to keep us down, John Swofford pisses on Thomas Greene Clemson’s statue fortnightly, and the poll voters don’t know us from Alcorn State. This guy is joking around, but I had to put his comment up here anyway because it’s just such a dead on parody of conspiracy theorist Clemson fans and fooled about everyone on Tigernet.


This next poster, unfortunately, is serious. It’s these kind of Alka-Seltzer in the mouth rabid moron fans who give Clemson a bad name and creep reporters out just a little bit. We all want reporters on TV to pronounce Clemson like Clempson, with just very little emphasis on the “p,” but the generic non-regional diction these guys learn prohibits them from correctly emphasizing colloquial pronunciations such as Clemson. I watched the entire Wake Forest game to which he is referring and I detected no bias on the half of the announcers. Perhaps this guy would rather Pete Yannity and Will Merritt call the game. His poorly constructed rant sounds like it would be appropriate coming out of the mouth of a bitter 17 year old. ESPN has got to have some bulletin board where they post these sort of ignorant comments.


There is a fine art to punking another team’s messageboard. You have to register early with an inconspicuous name, drop some generally supportive posts for a couple weeks, study the tendencies of posters, then imitate and mock that board with a post carefully crafted to cause confusion as to whether or not it’s a joke. This “tigglet” clearly didn’t do his homework. Unless his ‘homework’ was a couple tall boys of PBR and a bump of smack. I am just assuming here, but I think this is a douchebag Gamecock fan snickering as he plays the role of a Tiger fan in an effort that is ultimately only amusing to him or other degenerates whose faces are constantly smudged from huffing paint.

His response when called a coot.

You know, I can’t really argue much on this one. A tiger would pretty much f*ck up an owl in a 1 on 1 or 11 on 11 battle.


This one isn’t so much Dumb Shit as it is a little too much information posted on a board. Not to say that I don’t relate or remember the smell of coffee, a B.M., and cigarettes that would cling to my dad’s bathroom in the morning like a thick, ungodly fog.


I know this is the Gameday song and all, but only the worst kind of mouthbreathing retards aren’t completely sick of this awful song. The only place I want to hear this song being played is if it’s gently emanating from the mangled wreckage of this guy’s pickup as it lay wedged under a tractor trailer full of AIDS monkeys.


IF YOU LEAVE SHIT OUT, IT WILL GET STOLEN. This guy is still reeling from leaving The Truman Show dome and hasn’t quit adjusted to the real world. Also, look, I have sympathy for him and his group getting their shit stolen, but unless they start giving away free gold bullion with Tillamore Dew and Gilbey’s Vodka, this bastard didn’t have $3000 worth of liquor. I know everyone likes to brag and talk about how awesome their tailgates are and maybe puff up the stats a little bit in this keeping-up-with-the-Joneses world of college football, but if you say some shit like this we’re going to know you’re lying through your teeth. $3000 worth of liquor? Damn they’re charging a lot for MD 20/20 these days.



And now… the Cavalcade of Bad Sign Ideas for Gameday

I can understand an obsession with Erin Andrews, even though she’s reportedly a shithead personality-wise. But why waste time on dumb sign ideas when it was reported the previous weekend that she wasn’t even going to be on the GT game? I’m sure they could’ve come up with some funny signs about Holly Rowe. Well… considering most of what passes for humor on Tigernet, they probably couldn’t.


Considering it was widely announced that Holly Rowe was doing our game, this sign will require a hell of a lot of whiteout and ink to get those numbers corrected. That bottom deck seat ticket is about to be a third-tier upper decker. Maybe in the damned Outback II.


I DON’T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS TAKEN THIS ANGLE, BUT GEORGIA TECH HAS A PLAYER NAMED JOHNSON AND A PLAYER NAMED BALL! JUST LIKE SLANG TERMS FOR A PENIS AND A TESTICLE! I WILL CONQUER THIS COMEDY PROMISED LAND THAT SURELY LAY UNTRAMPLED!


Another idea that’s been beat to death. Hell, even I joked about it after the FSU game. If I make a joke about it, you know it’s old as dirt. Also the first idea was long since taken. Someone might as well just make Borat posters for Gameday… oh… wait…


This guy should say “wakka wakka” after every joke.
