What a week , huh ?

This era ... and I wonder where we are in it timeline-wise when I think of it ... but this era in Clemson Tiger football has me constantly searching for superlatives . There isn't enough good language it seems to describe how this all feels . I consider my child ( Class of '20 ) and that she has been on campus now not 3 full years and has witnessed 2 National Championship seasons . How special is that ? We may well see another before she graduates in May of next year . That used to sound like dreamer talk ... but Dabo Swinney and this rig he's thrown together gives us all hope that every year now could be the year .
3 time National Champions . Soak it in !

It’s been like a dream Dug, that’s for sure. Couldn’t ask for any more.

The pleasantness I have in my heart is above average , and that Clemson is on top of all of college football is a big part of it .

If it got any better than this, I'd probably have to

start popping downers just to drop from my ceilings!
You'd think I was 18 again what with all the yelling, cussing, arm waving, foot stomping and jitterbug dancing I've done over the past several days. He1l, I'd even run down the Hill again, if they'd let me. lol.

We always want our kids to have it better than we did

I attended CU at a time (class of ‘90) when we had a lot of success in all sports, and in particular football, although we never won a football championship during my term.
My son is a sophomore, so he only has one championship during his term, but he went to Tampa his senior year in high school (and Glendale the year before). I would almost say I expect at least one more football title before he finishes. Would love to add another Sweet 16 and CWS appearance.
Jealous, but SO happy for my son. And even though I wasn’t enrolled at the time, these are my championships, too!
GO TIGERS!!

Today is a day of both happiness and sadness. When I awoke this morning I was mentally reviewing every touchdown we made in the championship game. In a few minutes I will start preparing for a trip from Clemson to Mullins to attend the funeral of a long time friend. I don't know yet if he was able to realize Clemson's third national championship.

I don't know why but there seems to be a big difference between having 2 championships and 3. Maybe it's just me but we now have a Row of championship trophies. Pretty sure we will add to the row in the next year or two.

Yes, there's a big difference in taking 35 years to repeat
