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?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
