Last Wednesday night, my father passed away. He was a 1957 graduate of Clemson and he loved his tigers. My father and two oldest brothers are Tiger grads. My dad was by his radio or TV every moment Clemson played. He was a gentle spirit and loved his university, his country, his family, and Jesus. I was pulling hard for you last Saturday for my dad's sake. Your game kicked off moments after we laid him to rest and it was very sad for my family to know he wasn't there. I felt him smiling once we heard you guys had won. I don't believe in asking God for victory on the football field, but that one time I prayed you guys would deliver on that special day for my dad. Thank you.
