Clemson's use of strobe scoreboards on third down

CockNBlythewood · 11-25-2012, 03:02 PM

Anyone else think this was major busch league? I can't imagine it would ever fly in the SEC.

For those that weren't at the game and have no idea what I'm talking about, on third down when Clemson is on defense ALL of their scoreboards and ribbon boards show a set of tiger eyes and start flashing colors quickly. Every scoreboard is strobing these colors (I counted 3 boards and ribbon boards all the way around).

It was tough on the eyes after a while.

Yeh I noticed it, even on tv. It was a pussification move.

robgusc76 · 11-25-2012, 03:07 PM

Cowboys do it too.

Sax1031 · 11-25-2012, 03:10 PM

shouldn't be allowed.

noise is one thing.

strobing lights are meant to induce nausea, vomiting, and seizures.

Sucks if you're an epileptic clemson fan.

ScottK · 11-25-2012, 03:16 PM

What about the jackass with the freaking cow noisemaker? We had to watch portions of the game on mute.

USC Paratrooper · 11-25-2012, 03:17 PM

Cow noisemaker? Must have been one of their ritual mating calls. Clemson fans and farm animals.....

CockNBlythewood · 11-25-2012, 03:23 PM

I wish I would have gotten video of it

hilarious

Flips · 11-25-2012, 03:26 PM

Yeah, saw the same thing at the game, I have no idea why that is allowed. Definitely should be addressed by the NCAA.

FanofCarolina1 · 11-25-2012, 03:29 PM

After four years, I guess they'll try to come up with anything to get an advantage for a win. Shoot I can't remember so many holding calls against us in one game!

That was all kinds of annoying. Who let that clown in. Especially near the camera and mics.

Cockholio · 11-25-2012, 03:36 PM

You could see the flashing on the field without them even being in the picture.

Spurrier_Superior_One · 11-25-2012, 03:37 PM

Next year we can put a picture of a Clemscum fan violating a sheep, cow, or whatever their beast of choice is on the beast board to distract them.

DiamondGamecock · 11-25-2012, 03:40 PM

I heard Boyd and the neighborhood goat were tying the knot.

SC Sandlapper · 11-25-2012, 03:48 PM

That kind of crap reeks of desperation. It's what you do when you know your defense isn't man enough to get the job done without silly lighting tricks. Pure pussification, typical Clempson mentality.

tpep · 11-25-2012, 03:52 PM

that explains a lot- abo and potkins must have mistook the strobe lights for law enforcement

Acockolypse Now · 11-25-2012, 04:06 PM

That "tiger roar" sounds like a toilet flushing.

That was not an artificial noisemaker. It was the tiger cheerleaders.
