Thank you Mr. Hood. Great piece. Got chills thinking about it. If I may share our own personal experience - Can't wait for the Saturday morning sun to rise over beautiful Lake Keowee so that we can get up for Gameday. Can't wait until just after Gameday is over and Corso dons that bird head when my family will wind our way from Salem to our tailgating spot at Lee Hall, meet our beautiful senior Tiger girl, unpack the grill, the cooler, the chairs, the tent and the satellite tv. From that point, it will be an afternoon of grilling Cardinal, visiting with friends and my 2015 Tiger graduate and his Tiger girlfriend, refreshing ourselves, watching football, and waiting on pins and needles for the sun to begin that descent beyond Memorial Stadium. At about 7:30, we will pick up our stadium seats, our binocs, the radio for listening to Don and Rodney during the game, and a roadie, and make the short walk to Gate 9 where will stand in line with thousands of orange-clad Clemson faithful until we can pass through the scanners and make our way to Section N. From there we will anxiously wait on the Presenting of the Colors, God Bless America, and the National Anthem and the rest of the pregame. Just after Tiger Band is in place and The Dream plays on the big screen, chills will begin running down my spine. Seated next to my 2017 Tiger freshman, he and I will start "getting hyped" (his words) as we see the buses start to pull to the top of the Hill just to our left. When Dabo enters through the Hill gate, places both hands on the Rock and points to Heaven, we know it is game on. The cannon fires, Tiger Rag plays, and the Tigers once again take part in the Most Exciting 25 Second in football. From that point and for the next 3 hours there will be little sitting and little silence. The fun just explodes as Deshaun runs over to our corner and incites the fans. the game will have its ups and downs and Win or lose, the walk back to the car and the drive back home will be a constant rehash of the game. Settling gently into our beds in the wee hours of Sunday morning, we will awake ready to do it all over the next home game! Go Tigers! This is the biggest game of the season, only because it is the next game of the season!

You are living my dream...haha I was there dancing in the rain for the ND game last year....what an experience! Know that there is one huge fan in MA who will be sitting on her couch for every minute of Game Day and every second of this game. Can't wait...Go Tigers Upside...I can go to the Boston College game so I will be wearing my Clemson Orange and cheering on our Clemson Tigers in MA! Have fun, stay safe and enjoy!

David, thank you for painting a brilliant canvas of Clemson


Sep 29, 2016, 10:39 AM

for what could be college football's (regular season) game of the year. Speaking for Tiger fans everywhere, we can't wait for the pageantry to begin!

GO TIGERS!!! And rip the beaks off of those redbirds!

P.S. A friendly suggestion - You might want to post a current photo of Death Valley. The Oculus is conspicuously nowhere to be found and we all know what special powers it holds!

Great article, David.

All I can add is that you "set the table" for the Tigers. Now, LET'S FEAST!

Go Tigers... 26-19
