Nobody likes to lose, even if some people take it much harder than others, and that was definitely the case during the Clemson Tigers‘lose effort in favor of Louisville Cardinals SATURDAY.

Late in the fourth quarter, with the game almost out of reach, the Tigers attempted an onside kick to keep themselves in the game.

Officials ruled that the Cardinals recovered the kick, and the play was subject to a replay review which concluded that the on-field call stood, indicating that there was insufficient evidence to quash the appeal.

Those in attendance were not happy with the outcome of the replay and made their voices heard in one of the worst ways possible, throwing water bottles and other debris onto the field.

This is nothing new, even this year fans attending Major League Baseball games have done the same, although it is very frowned upon and a quick way to get kicked out and potentially banned or even arrested if anyone on the ground was injured. by flying debris.

THE Texas Longhorns also faced a similar situation earlier in the year and banned a number of its students from attending further games during the 2024 season.

For Clemson, the presentation was just embarrassing enough to land on Ryan McGee of ESPNis the “Bottom 10” of the week, ranking as the fifth worst thing to happen in college football in Week 10.

“The Tigers are rolling down The Hill from the top 10 in the fancy coaches poll to the coveted fifth spot after losing to mid-pack #goacc Louisville,” McGee writes, “We weren’t sure if we should put Death Valley or Happy Valley in this slot, but our decision was made after drinking a refreshing bottle of water that had been sent to our heads from the Clemson student section.

It’s a poor and embarrassing situation everywhere, from the Tigers losing to Louisville after dominating (most of) the rest of their program all year, to the fans and students in attendance showing the absolute embodiment poor sportsmanship.

Dabo Swinney shared his thoughts on the matter during his conference call on Sunday, and he wasn’t happy with what happened either.

“That’s not who we are at Clemson,” Swinney said. “I understand, but they need to let me take care of the refs. It’s just not something we should be doing here at Clemson. So I hope we learn from it and it doesn’t happen again.

While this doesn’t make things right, it appears to be a growing trend in the sport as a whole, but it needs to be curbed quickly before it gets worse.
