When we played Clemson at home in 2004, I met a group of tigers at a tailgate. They were very friendly and personable, as I was leaving the tailgate, 2 of them handed me $2 dollar bills with orange tiger paws stamped on them. When I asked what they meant, they explained that other acc cities/town had always accused Clemson of traveling well but not spending any money in away cities. They decided to start spending all of their cash at away games in $2 bills with tiger paw stamps to prove that they spent money at local restaurants and stores in away locals.

That being said, tonight was the highest quality, most well adjusted loss I have see from an Aggie team. In full disclosure, the first game I attended was TU '99 after bonfire collapse.

This team/coach/foundation is different than any that I've seen at TAMU. Gig'em!!

My point is, the Clemson folks are great, and we have a coach and squad that could surprise us this year.

Those surprises won't come with a "lighting in a bottle" player like the goat JFF, but from a more assured, team and coaching effort

Nobody else has seen a $2 bill with a ogre paw stamp on it??

Thank you for the correction

Both of my kids actually received one today from some Clemson fans when they asked us where the best entrance for them to go in to the stadium. I thought it was a very nice thing and the kids were all grins!

Orange infected money.

Don't you get $2 bills from strip club?

I usually only read, but don't post here. But, there were a lot in my concession stand:



eta: Sorry it's so huge. Yikes.

Just another reason to really like that fan base. Awesome

Generally only if you work there.

I love that their prank is spending copious amounts of money in the opposing team's hometown. Can we play them twice per year??

Hopefully we play them again this season. Though I suppose it would technically be "next year" by then and it won't be in College Station.

I can't think of another OOC team I wouldn't mind playing semi regularly right now.

This summer in SC I met a family member of the man that started this. I don't recall if he was the AD or just in the department. It was around 1976 after the $2 bills for the bicentennial came out. Clemson was playing Georgia Tech every year in Atlanta. Clemson asked GT to start playing games @Clemson like a real series. GT said F off, so Clemson scheduled a different team.
On the last trip to play in Atlanta, this guy told all the fans to pay for hotels, food, gas and whatever else with $2 bills. When the mayor of Atlanta saw how many $2 bills where now in circulation in his city and realized how much cash Clemson fans inject into the local economy he told GT to get off their high horse and work it out.

So now Clemson stamps them, defacing Govt. property mind you, and uses them like a calling card to help show how well their fan base travels.

Reminds me a bit of A&M's old relationship with LSU

I hear Tom Herman carries a lot of them.

very good bull the ags should definitely steal this idea and do it with 10's & 2's to represent that we are the 12th man

We should go one better and pay with $3 bills with "Aggies" on them!

Seriously, someone should print a bunch up to take to Clemson next year.

Your idea is to print a bunch of fake money and then transport across state lines?

This sometimes is said out of hyperbole, but I think it is true here: Worst idea in the history of Texags.

Make it obvious that they are fake. A goodhearted joke. A token to give Clemson fans that shows we appreciate their hospitality, and don't take ourselves too seriously.

I got some from the ref, said he didn't have room in his pockets or something.

Z Team - Post of the morning !

Still have the one I was given by a Clemson fan at the Chicken back in 04. Pretty cool tradition.

Clemson fans sitting next to me gave me one at the end. It was pretty cool, and awkward at the same time. They didn't explain the way it came about (not sure they knew). So it was cool to see the why now.

Those guys prefer a stack with 2s and 0s on them!

How many $2 bills were found in the officials locker room?

I engaged a tiger fan at a bar, and as I paid the bartender, the guy gave me a $2 bill with the orange tiger paw. He told me that Clemson believes in showing others the fiscal capacity of their fans. I thought it was pretty cool!

My roommate does pedicabbing on the side for extra cash during the football season. Can confirm he has over $20 in two dollar bills thanks to Clemson tips. Great tradition and really friendly fans.
