On this day 20 years ago

I had season tickets for Clemson that year.  I would drive to Lavonia Georgia and pick up my father and then head the back way to Clemson. Made the return trip every Sunday we played at home.  It was a great season but the drive down 85 was crazy and the drive into Clemson even worse.  I remember using the service road for miles trying to find a way around the traffic jams.  I would look back and there would be 25 people behind me hoping I knew where I was going.  I was hoping I did too.....

On the cusp of 30 and a Giants refugee...

 

Win or loss it was the first day I could cheer for a legitimate home team and it was the first of about a 350 game streak of not missing seeing the game.  

I remember that cheering for the Panthers was a bit weird as I had been a fan of a different team and I didn't know who many of our guys were.  But that said there was something natural and "right" about cheering for some dude named Reich, and a coach named Capers, and guys named Mills and Green.

My first post, lurked for a while lately.

I was over in the sand box, Saudi.

Me and a few guys slipped off the flight line and caught the game on AFN at the chow hall.  Got my but chewed out for not being on the line, totally worth it!
