Clemson is FAMILY! Went to my closet today . . .


Sep 19, 2022, 10:57 AM

. . . to select my wardrobe. Chose a gray Clemson tee and immediately my mind goes to E11a Strong!

I don't believe I can ever wear another gray Clemson t-shirt and not think of the Bresee family and Ella. God bless you Ella, and all of the folks you have touched!!

Go, Tigers!

My wife and I wore gray shirts for the game and kept them on yesterday. The only one I had was a "Clemson Track and Field" shirt that was given to me by Col Robbins widow, which reminded me that she had passed this spring.

Both of the alumni groups I follow (Memphis and Colorado) encouraged wearing gray. Haven't seen any pictures from either group as to how that turned out. Will be making my memorial donation today.

Would anyone notice if this happened to a third string long snapper vs. a 5 star DT?

Great point.

We've had other Clemson football players who have had family members with cancer. I don't recall having big events with as much promotion as we saw with Ella.

I think it's wonderful how Clemson has rallied behind the Bresee family, but I think it should be consistent across the board. Otherwise, it has the potential for appearing inauthentic, not to mention unfair to other players who have been impacted in their own lives.

a third string snapper is just not gonna get the ink that a 5 star D lineman gets, regardless of the situation.

But it's not supposed to be about the player

but about his younger sister.

If the cause only matters because it affects a star player, then people's priorities are out of line.

Not sure who you are or how you used my id. But to your point, Judge is correct. However, that said, if the University and coaches announced it and reacted the same way, fans would pick up on it and follow suit.
