The Trojans, Twitter, And Clemson
Donny Knight Photography

Twitter has always been the place where we beat out the 140 characters to be witty. 90% of the time it works, other times its about as good at Clemson was during the #TROYvCLEM game- awful and in need of help.

It's a well known fact that the Trojan community is still pretty salty about the September 10, 2016 game versus the Clemson Tigers. You didn't have to be watching the game to know what was happening. I was on my way to Atlanta for a Braves baseball game with my sorority sisters, and Twitter was blowing up with updates on the game. It's not often a tiny Sunbelt Conference school holds their own playing the #2 SEC team in the nation. If I wasn't getting updates via the Twitter-sphere, I found loads of updates on Facebook between my Trojan friends and the live updates Facebook gave me at the top of my newsfeed.

Troy was trending on social media, and was even the top Twitter trend the day of the game. Whether it was just 'Troy,' #OneTroy, or #TROYvCLEM, the fans were responding. I combed through these feeds and picked out nine of my personal favorite salty tweets. Let it be known that the Troy Trojans are not to be messed with- just ask Clemson and their favorite ACC Refs.

1.

It's a fun twist to the Fight Song, don't ya think?

2.

Kermit has something to say about the game too, but that's none of my business.

3.

I guess all they could see was the orange and purple.

4.


You can't screenshot gifs, and I wanted to keep the authenticity of the tweet. If Kermit hadn't said it all, Hagrid did.

5.


Kudos to Coach Brown for Rebuilding the Wall and also remaining as professional as he did during the game. He's certainly a coach Troy will remember. Coach Brown led the Trojans to a victory in my books.

6.

Same girl, same.

7.

It'd honestly be better than any of the other option we have. NEAL BROWN 2016 YA'LL.

8.

I want to make this a poster and put it on my wall to get me through the rest of the school year. #inspiration

9.

I think we all know to settle this dispute we just need a rematch, but on Trojan turf this time. Are you up for the challenge Clemson?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
