White House visit team photo...

Why hasn’t one been released? There is always a photo of the team with the President while he holds up a personalized jersey.
I’m guessing neither Clemson nor POTUS want to talk about anyone who may have been absent.
I’m sure I’ll be called a coot, which I’m not. Just curious as to why this is the first time in my life that I haven’t seen a team photo with POTUS.

Trump might be worried...I heard Dabo was seen measuring the curtains in the Oval Office.

Have you ever seen a team photo

Inside the white house? Maybe it's just hard to get that many people in a picture indoors? Every team photo online is outdoors, so for you to not come to a logical conclusion makes me think you are just trying to manufacture another "crisis" . I doubt potus or clemson are losing sleep over those that chose not to attend.

There are several. We sent 75 guys, supposedly, not including staff, etc. They were indoors. It's impossible to get one big team photo indoors. There are several different photos of different groups of players standing behind the president in the Oval Office.
There are many valid reasons for people not to attend -
Travel/Tired: the team had recently traveled to Dallas, then back to Clemson, then out to California, then back to Clemson, then Saturday was the parade, Saturday night was the banquet, and Monday morning they left for DC.
Been there: Figure approx half the team had already visited the White House. Some may simply not have been interested in a 2nd trip
Draft: Many of our seniors and juniors are preparing for the draft
And last - there are those who simply don't like Trump or maybe do, but don't want to be seen with him because a lot of their friends don't like him. I honestly think this is the least of the reasons.
And btw, no one abstained because of the menu choices, or lack thereof. The menu wasn't announced until the team was already in DC or on their way.

You really think that’s the least of the reasons? Look at those photos. Our starting defense has more AA players than those pictures do combined.
I agree that the menu was a complete non-factor.

I haven't found an outside photo for 1981 yet. The 2017 photo outside shows probably about 80 +/- players and staff (rough guess but didn't count them) and this year being at night, I doubt there is an outside photo.
I'm just glad they were there instead of Bama!
