No matter how many we win in the future...

The 2016 title will be my favorite. Still get chills and scream when I watch the Watson to Renfrow play. Only game I wasnt playing that I ever shed a tear over.

and instantly saw HR13 take off like a jet into a vacant area of the end-zone & ball was whizzing towards him..
and I knew that boy never drops a ball near him..
so we had 6 pts AND the Natty!!!

As soon as DW4 rolled right and I saw HR13 hitting an opening I immediately started losing my mind pointing and screaming he's open... I think my TV is still deaf.

Indeed, what a moment

So, I was fairly recently remarried at the time, and for the first time I had kids to share the experience with. They weren't raised around sports, so it was all new to them.
I had such an amazing time that year sharing the success of the Tigers, but I think I scared them as I saw Watson roll right. At that moment I knew one of two things was going to happen. Either Watson was going to stroll in, or he was going to hit Hunter. It was just destined, and so I just, well, collapsed. Fell down to my knees hardly believing the experience. What a moment.
It's hard to explain to my kids just how different these past few years have been as compared to the previous 2 decades. If one doesn't watch a game with me, they'll ask if we won, and one of the other kid's will answer "Of course they won, Clemson always wins."
And I just smile...

Now when people can't grasp why top recruits are lining up to Clemson remind them of that story, for the past 5 years (since these recruits were 12-13 years old they seen nothing but sheer dominance from Clemson. None of those kids probably can remember the last time Clemson didn't have a 10 win season and have seen OU fall twice in dominant fashion, OSU be wiped from the playoffs embarassingly, ND fall twice, LSU in an all time classic, Auburn fall 4 times in a row to Clemson and lastly Clemson to be the only team that is able to find the blemish in the Alabama armor.

I guarantee it if the O-line plays like they are worth a dime.

One of the most enjoyable parts was driving back from Tampa up 75. Listening to the ESPN college station the whole trip, on very little sleep, and smiling at every tiger flag on the road.

only one I DIDN'T cry at was Jan 1st, 1982. At 14, I was too young to realize how STUNNINGLY unbelievable that moment was.
I nearly sobbed in Tampa. Was such an amazing week in my "home" town.
I shed a tear or 2 in Phoenix.
I cried in Cali about halfway through the 4th quarter & couldn't stop laughing at the end.
Unforgettable experiences with the amazing Clemson Family.

I was mostly pi$$ed-off because I though it was a game Clemson could have and probably should have won.
