Boring day at work so I did some calculations..
Nov 6, 2015, 1:03 PM
|

Tomorrow's game will be my 92nd Clemson home game in a row. Tomorrow will be my father's 304th Clemson home game in a row. And until @Georgia last season, my great uncle had been to 504 consecutive Clemson games: home, away and bowl games. His home streak is still intact but he has quit going to as many away games. I think I've missed probably less than 15-20 home games my entire life (I'm only 21). I've been to almost every ACC stadium and also USC, Auburn and many bowl venues (Georgia Dome, Orange Bowl, Gator Bowl, etc). I'm so thankful to have seen our Tigers play so many times and I'm blessed to of been born a Shealy. Can't wait for this game tomorrow; GO TIGERS!

That's awesome man. One day I hope to see all the great venues but I know none will be anything like walking into Death Valley on a fall Saturday. It gives me chills every single time. Though I have only been to about 10 games my whole life(23) I can't imagine that feeling ever goes away nor is taken by a different stadium and atmosphere. We are #1 in many ways other than our ranking. Go Tigers!!

I've seen a lot of places but NOWHERE compares to Death Valley. Sure I have some bias but even my friends who are fans of other schools say the same thing. There is nothing like a game in Death Valley. I'll never get tired of that walk to the stadium and those goosebumps as I see the buses turn the corner near Fike or the absolute joy I feel when the cannon goes off and we run down the hill. There is something truly in these Hills and no matter who you are, where you're from or who you're pulling for, it'll always stay with you.

I have been to at least 4 games and some years more. For 29 years in a row, not consecutive but still a lot of games.

Hey, what was the southern cal game like? Who did they play and how did the experience compare to Clemson/Death Valley? I assume that's what you meant by USC? If not I'm going to have to call you out...coot.
