I hate to think what they would be saying if they had won the game.....

some quotes:

"Walking around and taking in the sights before and after the game, I definitely felt like the lifelong minor league player getting called up to the bigs for the first time."

"The tailgate scene is a world we're not used to. Everyone has team-themed tents, they decorate their tailgate tables with team-specific items and orange purple flowers and table clothes, and they all have TVs nicer than any of the ones in my house. They get there early, they get into the game on time, and then they head back to their tailgates and keep things going well after the final second has ticked off the close. There's an overwhelming sense of "this is just what we do on Saturdays," and it's pretty cool."

"There was a moment at one point in the first quarter where the place was going nuts and I had to remind myself that I was at a Louisville football game. The whole weekend felt like an official baptism into the world of big-time college football."

best road trip I have made in 30 years of road trips
"Those people can party like no other, and they are so friendly. I felt more at home 400 miles away in South Carolina than I have ever felt anywhere outside of Jefferson County. Jello shots, turkey legs, white chili, gratuitous beers, wine, man, I even had lady offer me a tent so I could be in the shade. The only thing I wasn’t offered was carnal knowledge, so I am saving that for 2016. Next trip I bring my boat, my bike, my dog, and stay like a month."

"The highest of compliments to Clemson on the atmosphere and hospitality. I wish I’d taken pictures from our beautiful tailgate location up the hill near the amphitheater. Every fan I met was so friendly and welcoming. My first encounters brought surprise and amusement that somehow I’d run into the nicest Clemson fans possible… But it happened again and again, without exception. Then I heard the same stories repeated from all of the 36 people on our bus trip. I can’t wait to travel there again and suggest that all of you add it to your football bucket list. Clemson IS the big time!"

"Every.Thing. about Saturday was awesome (minus the last 45 seconds of the game). The trip in, the beach (holy ####! Their school has a freaking beach!), the fans – we hadn’t been onsite for 15 minutes yet and had already been greeted by as many Clemson fans. Seriously, if this is what ACC football is all about, it’s time for us to step our games up as fans."
