I have a Clemson A&M pennant passed down to me. The truth is that farmers have to have a lot of knowledge in various fields. People have no idea.
Clemson and TAMU’s military heritage speaks for itself.

Where do you guys get this ? Clemson became Clemson University in 1964. Prior to that, it was Clemson A&M. My diploma says Clemson University and I think that class was the first to be recognized as a university. Holy Cow, I guess I one of the oldest living graduates of Clemson University. No wonder I get tired so easily. Time for my nap!

the 1918 TAPS (Yes, I have a copy, no, I was not in attendance at that time) we called ourselves Clemson Agricultural College. We had all of 114 Seniors in the Senior Class. (The fact that there was a World War going on at the time may have had some influence on class size.)

LSU is technically LSU A&M. This was quite standard for schools. I don’t know how you are just now finding out what the A&M stands for.

But it is texas so they even failed at being a hillbilly school since they have no hills nor any billies. Well, we don't count THOSE billies in Austin - completely different thing.

Thomas Green Clemson, its founder.
Also... “Clemson University (/?kl?ms?n/[5]) is a public, land-grant research university in Clemson, South Carolina. Founded in 1889, Clemson is the second-largest university in student population in South Carolina. For the fall 2017 semester, the university enrolled a total of 19,402 undergraduate students and 4,985 graduate students,[3] and the student/faculty ratio was 18:1.[6] Clemson's 1,400-acre campus [7] is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and sits next to Lake Hartwell. The university manages the nearby 17,500-acre Clemson Experimental Forest that is used for research, education, and recreation.”.
No mention of any of that redneck stuff Texas A&M is tied up in.

Hell, I'll do it myself...
Clemson was founded as Clemson Agricultural College of S.C. in 1889, 13 years after Texas A&M was founded as the The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. It became Clemson University in 1955. Texas A&M was renamed to Texas A&M University in 1963, retaining the "A&M" as a nod to its historical roots.
Clemson was never Clemson A&M. The A&M was colloquial because most schools founded under the Morrill Act, like Clemson, were agricultural and mechanical colleges and had A&M in their names (Oklahoma A&M, now OSU, and LSU A&M come to mind). It did not, and never did, stand for "Army & Military." That would be redundant because the army is a part of the military, and in all other historical instances, and especially at the time of its usage in reference to Clemson, was understood to stand for, "Agricultural & Mechanical."

i guess this is probably a troll, unless you really dont kniw any history about a&m educational institutions.
Suffice it to say, South Carolina could only dream about having as fine an institution within its borders. (and no, im not saying Clemson isnt a good school).

is on record saying the powers that be have turned TAMU into a degree factory. Then you hired Jimbo, who had the worst program APR in all of FBS while he was at FSU. So please keep lecturing me on what a fine institution y'all have there in the One Star State.

Well, I just learned how ignorant a portion of our fanbase is.
We have more in common with Texas A&M than most schools.
I realize that most young folks no longer have the appreciation of history and tradition like their fathers and grandfathers, but geez guys....
