Clemson Football National Champions

Clemson has had an exciting season, and we have had fun at the games. Clemsonwon the ACC,then the Fiesta Bowl, and went on to the National Championship in Tampa. We would have loved to have gone but couldn't afford it this year. ( 450 face value going for 1700).

We had a if tailgate party at school on Monday and then tailgated at Noni's and watched the first quarter with her.

The boys went to bed, and Tim was too nervous to watch. I watched it by myself. Deshaun threw the winning touchdown with 1 second left. I can't lie- I did get a little teary! The game wasn't o ear until close to 1,and then I watched all of the post game.  The p,ayes and Dabo were very inspirational. It was close to 3 a before I fell asleep. I am too old to stay up that late and be back up at 5:30 for work!

Thousands of people greeted the Tigers when the got back on Tuesday. We enjoyed Clemson spirit days the rest of the week.

Today we went to the celebration. We left at 7:30 and luckily found a parking spot near the library. We walked and found a spot to watch the parade. The boys had fun drawing on the sidewalk with rocks. The parade was so fun. Brooks loved holding his sign. Jackson and Will loved giving high fives and fist bumps from former players.  Thatcher wanted to join the parade.  Walker soaked it all in!

Then we walked to the stadium and had to sit in the upper deck. We were there with 65,000 of our closest friends! I loved listening to players and their love of God and how appreciative they were of their coaches and teachers! We took the boys down on the field while Dabo spoke.  Again he was inspiring. He is such an awesome motivator!

We ended our celebration with lunch at Mama Penn's! It was such a great day and so wonderful to be part of this National Championship!
