It's Gameday in Miami!!!

Well it all comes down to this. We've won our ACC championship title, won a bid to a national BCS bowl, and tonight we will play our last game of the season. And win!



That's our coach, Dabo. You know how I feel about him!
So all week Clemson Tigers have been funneling into Miami. Miami has probably never seen so much orange or so many $2 bills. Now, the $2 bills are a tradition that have long been in place but that many people are actually unaware of. This traditions started way back in 1977 when GA Tech wanted to change our schedule in Atlanta. In order to show them what a dumb idea that was, tigers decided to spend 2 dollar bills stamped with tiger paws throughout Atlanta on game weekend so they could see how important our game was to Atlanta's economy. Ever since, it has become a tradition to spend these bills at any away game, especially bowl games (and we still play GA Tech every year). Also, upon graduating from the great university that is Clemson, every student is given two $2. One to donate back to Clemson to begin the strong tradition of giving back to a school that we love, and one to spend out in the world as we choose. I know I have a $2 bill somewhere with a tiger paw on it and after this week, many lucky miamians will too.


Dt and I will be cheering our boys on from the couch tonight. I'm making some wings (last chance for tailgate food until the superbowl) which I'm a little weary about but I'll let you know how they turn out. Do me a favor and cheer on the Tigers if you have nothing else to do tonight.


Let's go Tigers, fight like hell damnit, and win!!!!!
