Clemson Football

Yes, I know some of you might be a little confused…we actually are Gamecock fans, however, we also enjoy our Clemson friends a lot! We usually try to get to a couple games a season but last year we didn’t make it to any so we were pretty pumped about today! Yes, Chap is wearing a ‘blue’ shirt (that I tried to talk into being ‘purple’) but it was better than the aqua shirt he tried to wear, calling it ‘neutral’ before walking out the door this morning. Aqua is not really a neutral color in Clemson because aqua is bright…and NOT orange which is not neutral. Thankfully, he listened to voice of reason (me) and changed into this purplish/blue shirt.

Who woke up at 4:30 a.m.??? SURELY not these guys!


This was Coach Swinney's first game, while he’s not quite as much fun to look at as Bowden, he did bring with him this cool concept of ‘The Tiger Walk’. All the players and coaches walked into the stadium through the crowd of fans. They were dressed in suit and tie, high fiving fans as they walked…it was pretty cool to see ( I did tear up a little).

Chap and I had really great seats, making the game really great to watch! (Thanks for your help, Justin!)


While Georgia Tech did manage to pull out the win in the end (after some horrible calls by the officials), we had a great time at Death Valley. Thanks for having us guys!! We will work on our ‘neutral’ colors next time, unless it’s Nov. 29th. of course ; )

Looks like you guys had a great time at the game! Loved all the pictures. Way to stick with your principles, Chap! I loved the group shot where you put Chap in the back so you couldn't see his blue shirt? Was that an "accident?"

Last comment was left by Mom and Dad. Don't know why it went Anonymous! Probably the operator!!!

Chap and Heather said...

haha, yes...Chap was intentionally placed near the back so he wouldn't take away from the orange, but I think he made that choice on his own =)

Jenn~ you were asked about many times. We missed you lots! Shelly said your message sounded awful, are you feeling better??

Wow! Those were great seats! Looks like it was a blast!!! I love that you broke down and sported the orange.

I was just reading the comments, and didn't actually even notice that Chap was in the picture until your Mom said something! Ha! So I guess you guys did a real good job of hiding him! It looks very -school picture- (especially Justin & shelly) and made me laugh, in a good way. ;-)
You guys DID have some nice seats! But did you really wake up at 4:30?? That's nutty.
