I must say the Clemson folks were once again outstanding. Very welcoming and I was moved by the prayer before the game. They prayed for our players as well as their own and for the flood victims in SC. Not one fan ran their mouth at us with trash talk. It's just an awesome game day environment.
 
I travel to Clemson and spend the weekend with one of my best friends whom I've known since 2nd grade. We tailgate with his group, who couldn't be more accommodating, and I have never had a bad experience at a game -with exception to watching Tech get blown out of late.

I return the favor as my friend treks to Atlanta for the game at BDS, and in return he and his family have had nothing but positive things to say about Tech fans.

Additionally, my friends dad, who has traveled to many Clemson games in his time, tells me the two worst fan bases he has ever encountered are LSU and UGA fans.
 
I was heckled by a couple of jackasses after the game. " Gonna be a long drive back to Georgia" and "Hey, you suck!" What was weird was the Clemson fans apologizing for their fans' rude behavior after that happened. That shocked me more than any öööö talk.

I replied, "Thanks, but remember we play Georgia every year. That's nothing."

I find both Clemson fans and VPISU fans to be decent hosts at their home fields.

My understanding has always been that VPI sends a disproportionate number of idiots and assholes to away games.
 
They always have treated me and my lady friend fine, I find UGAG fans are the most offensive and redneck. I hope Clemson bring the Natl Championship to the ACC this year.
 
They do always seem really nice, my buddy didn't rub it in after the loss so that's cool.
 
And yes, I've always liked Clemson fans more than anyone else we play. Classy folks, very nice and graceful in victory in defeat.

After the 2009 game there were a bunch of drunk guys at some frat house singing "Clemson is a redneck school" and I felt bad about it. No real interest in taunting Clemson fans after we win. Everyone else is pretty much fair game.
 
Another good visit to Clemson from our group as well. (Except for the game of course) We've never had an issue at home or away with their fans.
 
There a few bad apples in every bunch, but I've always enjoyed the rivalry. Since it seems that most of their fans are pretty cool, I try particularly hard not to be the bad apple in the bunch.
 
Nice fans. One year I rode back to a sports bar in the bar van after getting blown out. 2 Tiger fans tried to lighten my mood and sent a beer over to me at my table in the bar where I was watching another game on tv.
 
We must keep the game with Clemson. Would drop any other to keep it.
