Tigerama

IMO, there are some things you don't mess with and certain traditions are among those. Tigerama, a once glorious Clemson tradition has now turned into something that is the same every year. The theme used to be something topical that had lots of possibilities for different skits, while staying within that theme...TV comedies, Pixar movies, Rogers and Hammerstein musicals, etc. Now, we get a generic, pretty sounding theme like the eye of the Tiger or footprints in the sand...a theme that, while it sounds good, makes for lousy skits. Because of this, we now only get one skit in Tigerama, plus whatever the football team wants to do. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that the team comes in and does something now. So, now, Tigerama loses the very thing that made it Tigerama...the skits. I understand that every year, there were always one or two skits that had you shaking your head, trying to figure it out, but the other ones could be magical. But the students today don't get the opportunity to perform for the big crowd, so why put in the effort. Having the skit competition on Wednesday night is not the same thing. Bring back the skits to Tigerama...it will be a better evening instead of being all "show".
