5 yrs & 8 months ;-)

Luckily I have an amazingly early recall of childhood memories back to as young as 1-2 yrs old! Lots of folks don't believe me when I tell them things that I specifically remember as a baby/toddler, but I can refer to specific details of things that I would otherwise have no way of knowing (not stories or pictures that I've seen or been told). Pops & our next door neighbor, hard core tiger fans, went down there to the game & we had an Orange Bowl party at our house in Newberry for all the kids & neighbors. I recall trying to spot them on TV & the place going wild when we won the championship Was born orange with a tiger paw on my cheek & never looked backed or even considered another school other than Clemson! Thanks dad for all the memories & guidance!!! Just wish he could remember all the memories made & good times...alzheimers is a horribly debilitating disease that voids people of their lives & all that they've done in their lives. Thank God WE can still remember & appreciate them for who they are & were, & all they contributed after they cant! Praying for the cure...don't ever wanna be there.
Go Tigers!!!

I was born almost 9 months to the day. I was born August 28 of 82. Guess I know how my parents celebrated the championship!

Lol!...... 1 and not even in the USA. Watched it plenty though. I believe that to really appreciate what it's like to be a Clemson fan, you have to get down with the old film. I guess coots would call this " living in the past". Blows my mind when I brought up even Dawk and a fan had no idea he even played at CU...... not even that long ago.

And it was the first time I watched a Clemson game...pretty sure it was the first time I'd even heard of Clemson. My family had only been in the state 3 years and my father was not a college football fan, much less a Clemson fan.

Luckily I have an amazingly early recall of childhood memories back to as young as 1-2 yrs old! Lots of folks don't believe me when I tell them things that I specifically remember as a baby/toddler, but I can refer to specific details of things that I would otherwise have no way of knowing (not stories or pictures that I've seen or been told). Pops & our next door neighbor, hard core tiger fans, went down there to the game & we had an Orange Bowl party at our house in Newberry for all the kids & neighbors. I recall trying to spot them on TV & the place going wild when we won the championship Was born orange with a tiger paw on my cheek & never looked backed or even considered another school other than Clemson! Thanks dad for all the memories & guidance!!! Just wish he could remember all the memories made & good times...alzheimers is a horribly debilitating disease that voids people of their lives & all that they've done in their lives. Thank God WE can still remember & appreciate them for who they are & were, & all they contributed after they cant! Praying for the cure...don't ever wanna be there.
Go Tigers!!!
