I wrote about the tremendous football atmosphere associated with Clemson football in Friday’s edition.
But I think I can say I didn’t really believe it until I saw it.
It’s still a half hour before gametime, and it’s already easy to tell there’s something special about Death Valley.
The gray metal bleachers are slowly but surely turning orange. Clemson fans are pouring down the hillside towards Clemson Memorial Stadium. It’s family weekend in Clemson, and everyone is pretty pumped up. People are clustered around Howard’s Rock in anticipation of the Tigers charge down the hill and onto the field in a few moments. (Luckily, I got my rub in on the famed 2.5 pound pebble early.)
Hopefully, the football game will match the hype.
