Still can't believe what has happened to Clemson football

the last 10 years.
We were dying on the vine in 2008. Now were are en elite program with big wins and seasons and a new national championship. We have a state of the art football operations center, we are reeling in the best players in the nation, and our brand is nationally known and respected. Don't pinch me because I don't want to wake up!
GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Tommy west years were the worst. We could compete with the big boys. There was a fear of being blown out by fsu every year. I remember hoping we could just keep it respectable. Those were lean years. GO TIGERS!

Remember the spring game? There was just 1 offense and 1 defense. We couldn't field two seperate teams. And the bone he'd thrown us was that we were gonna pass to the tightends more this year. Those were dark times. GO TIGERS!

Simply put, Dabo happened.

I don't think we fully realize his genius. The fact that he is committed to his recruits until they graduate is unprecedented in major college football. It has changed the game for Clemson.

I think of all the dispair by some during those times and can't be happier that Dabo and company have elevated them into the light.

I was confident Dabo would win us another title. I honestly did not expect it this quick.

I can't tell you how many times lately I've had the exact same thought! And, "how sweet it is"! The trick will be staying at the top. All of us old timers can tell you how quickly it can all fade away. This time we have to enjoy it, cherish it, and most of all, protect it. We have to keep an administration and Board of Trustees that recognizes that a strong athletic department only enhances Clemson. Thank heavens we have that now! It is truly a great day to be a Clemson Tiger!
