But on an important note… there are some better things that I didn’t learn, but I was always reminded of again…

• There is no place louder or better than Death Valley
• That there is more to life than football and sports
• When you are down and admit it, other Tigers (and some coots too) will lift you up
• That if I go to another road game alone, I’ll be invited to tailgate with other Tigers
• Prayer requests will never go ignored
• And that I LOVE CLEMSON

There’s things that cannot be put into words, or posted on a message board. A pride you feel every time you see your diploma or glance down at your class ring. A feeling that you get when you see an orange and purple Clemson sunset and know what heaven on Earth is. You realize that you are part of the Clemson Family and that we together are One Clemson and Tigernet is another way of bringing us together… Thank you for 5 great years.
