I've heard this for years and wasn't quite sure where the word "fambly" came from. I understand how they use the term "Auburn Family" all the time. Is "fambly" derived from the pronunciation of "family" by Pat Dye, David Housel or somebody else? I believe I've heard Pat Dye pronounce the word incorrectly, but just not sure if it came from him. Either way, it's hilarious!

I thought 'ol pat pronounced it "fam-bu-ly"...but anyways, yes. My understanding is it came from pat.
It became truly irritating when Chizik arrived. On most occasions "The Family" often appeared in the same sentence with its nauseating first cousin: "All In."

Put together, we have a remake of "All In The Family" in which the main characters once again behave stupidly, say tasteless things and look accusingly at the rest of the world.

I was in Clemson for work once and decided I wanted a Clemson t-shirt. I went in a couple stores on campus and it looked like a barn shop. I just couldn't bring myself to get one.
