    There will be plenty of Clemson fans there, just as there were at Wake. If Temple was ANY good, and had any sort of traveling fan base, there would be much more turnout. You have to remember that even though Clemson is only 2 hours away, it is a Thurs. night. How many other schools get anywhere near the same # of fans going to a away game on a week night?

    Clemson doesn't even sell out their HOME games...much less the game here.

    Yes, they have respectable attendance compared to the other ACC squads...but they still have "single game tickets available."

    I'm thinking of going and rooting for Temple.

    Yep...They were started by the documented racist...Ben "Pitchfork" Tillman. He HATED blacks...They still have the Tillman Building right on campus to remind the black students that they aren't needed for anything but athletics...

    so does USC


    Being able to buy a single ticket for an upcoming game doesn't mean they don't sell out. You can buy a single USC tickets online as well.

    Clemson has 16,000 undergrads, and is in the middle of nowhere. I still think an average attendance of over 75,000 is pretty damn respectable. A larger school in the middle of the state might get more fans at the start of a game, but by the end how many are left?

    I've been down to Clempson several times for State games. Great atmosphere.

    Uh...nope. All games are sold out to season ticket holders. They DO get some close to gametime if the opposing team returns their allotment.

    Hell, to GET season tix you have to donate a minimum of $3500 (unless you started donating years ago)...and you won't get the big games.
