I would like to apologize to the fellow I berated for watching the SC game over and over I am sorry for any harsh words.
I watched the 2013 UGA game today again, and not for the first time .
It was the last time I saw my dad, he passed last year.
A proud TIGER, I will miss him especially this spring.
RIP William Warren Boyd...........man, what can I say

I really can not bring myself to re-watch a game that does not have Deshuan Watson in it, but that was a good one.

I lost my Dad, a 1964 graduate and rabid Tiger fan to the end, in May of 2012. The last time I walked into Death Valley with him was the spring game in April of 2012. I had no idea he was even sick.
My Dad always said he wanted to be cremated and his ashes scattered in Death Valley. He was cremated, and I waited for a big win that he would have really enjoyed to do my duty. Unfortunately, we lost the game I planned for at the end of the 2012 season (yes, to THAT team). So, naturally, the time came the following season.....against Georgia. I scattered my Dad's ashes on The Hill after that game, as you had just finished watching your last game with yours.
We will never stop missing them. I have learned that much in the nearly three years since my Dad died. But I know they are still cheering on the Tigers, and the view must be amazing.
To our Dads and all of the other great Clemson fans we have lost.
Go Tigers!!!!!!

I lost my Dad in 1998 and I realized a while ago, anything that brings back memories of him is a good thing. While the pain of losing him will never subside, the years have brought smiles rather than tears! He loved his Tigers and he shared that love with me and my sisters! Go Tigers!!

5 days after my 20th birthday. He is the reason I am addicted to pro and college football, baseball, and basketball. Watching all year on TV was the ritual in our house and I am just as passionate as he was. He took me to my first Tiger game.....1977 ND game in DV and it made me a Tiger fan for life. He was a lifelong Domer so it irritated him that the Paw became my passion. Several weeks later he told me, "at least you are not a Chicken fan....I hope they lose their scrimmage games". I made him a closet Tiger fan but he was Fighting Irish to the core. As for Clemson, he would say, "son, godalmighty they play defense. It looks like 15 orange hats on the ball every play". RIP Pop, I thank you for planting the passion in me. Your Father is proud of you, brother. RIP to him.
