[QUOTE=Submarley734;282758]On another topic. Am I the only one who has mentioned Lee getting 10 rebounds. Where did that come from? GO NINERS!!![/QUOTE]
Lee has done a great job getting rebounds!
I think you guys are picking apart and thinking about the "overrated" chant too much.By us chanting overrated, we are just rubbing it in their faces that we beat them bc they didnât think we had a chance. In no way does that chant belittle your own team or lessen the victory.
I would never discourage fans being rowdy in an opponents court. But I think youâre understating it. It comes across to me as âYou guys are #17 and we just beat you. So you really shouldnât be #17â. I just think youâre better off ringing âNiner Nationâ in their heads. It is a minor thing though. I just donât get it. Bottom line is kudos for being so rowdy!
Brett Jensen of CU Tigers.com said on FNZ that it was the first time he had seen an entire section of opposing fans in Little John.
Good job Niner Nation!!!

Wow! I canât believe that! Even with teams like Duke and Chapel Hill coming in?!?! Great job NN! Glad I could be a part of it!
Overrated chant makes it sound like the team you just beat wasnât as good as they were supposed to be, therefore it is lessening your accomplishment.
BUT, when you do it in their house, it rules. Because it is just pouring salt in the wound.
Just like, we areâŚcharlotte chants. Stupid at home, but when you can rock it at someone elseâs house, it really rubs it in.
Oh yeah - and did anyone see the girl sitting in the section to the right of the student section who couldnt keep her middle finger out of the air when we chanted? real class act.
dude. she was wearing green. what a genius. sit in our section, wear green, and cheer for clemsonâŚthats just hilariousâŚhilarious.

Bottom line is âOverratedâ stings more to the other teams fans and their team. They wonât remember us chanting âNinernationâ even though Iâm glad we did, but here are some posts from the Clemson board showing how it stung when the âOverratedâ chant rang through their arena.

I hope when the 49âer fans were chanting âOVERRATEDâ that the team let that one burn for a while.

I really wish I had. That is crazy. I didn't even know about this until now and I already was pissed at the Clemson fans. They may now be beating WF for worst fans. Just despicable.
We got pelted with trash by App State fans.
The UR fans heckled us relentlessly.
UL fans areâŚwellâŚUL fans.
These guys are just fans upset that they lost to an unranked team.

Correct, itâs not all too bright to do it at home, but to do it on the road at Littlejohn when the Clemson fans think their team is top 10 caliber and they were just going to stomp all over us. Haha, it makes it more fun, like PB said salt in the wound.
Iâd like to dedicate this win to my co-worker, Lily Tran, a 49er alum. She is sick, & her brother, Peter Tran, also a 49er alum is helping take care of her.
I did see her but I never saw her flick us off. I really wish I had. That is crazy. I didn't even know about this until now and I already was pissed at the Clemson fans. They may now be beating WF for worst fans. Just despicable.
Yeah well I figured there was no use in starting anything. The scoreboard did enough talking :biggrin:
oh yeah, and she already was doing a great job looking like an idiot
âAnd our fans â man â they were there for us tonight.â (LEE)
A large segment of Charlotte fans made the trip to Clemson, filling several sections in the upper deck and several rows behind Charlotteâs bench.
As the game wound down, their voices filled the quickly emptying arena with chants of âoverrated,â âForty-Ninersâ and âDewey, Dewey, Dewey.â
thank you Observer!
Front page of the sports section, had our game, and a caption under the picture telling about the segment of Charlotte fans who chanted overrated.
Good job of glorifying yourselves.
Since we were at Littlejohn, we should have started chanting, âWhat?â âWhat?â
Good job of glorifying yourselves.
thank you

Makes sense. Clempzen fans show up for dook and the tar holes, leaving no seats for the opposing fans. Since weâre ânobodyâ, their fans donât care, think itâs an automatic win, donât show up, and BAM!! Weâre all up in their frickkinâ rafters makinâ 'em look bad. Good times.
And they were simply that. I'll take a victory over any "local" team any time.Taking a victory has nothing to do with this. It's a silly cheer.
Clemson is a good team that had a tough night. We came out and punched them in the mouth. They never recovered. I think they will have a very good season.
