Did I already mention that we just had the best time at the game this past weekend? Being in Clemson is a home coming for my husband and seeing him there, happy and with his best buddies is one of my favorite things! Clemson is also a true southern university, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, surrounded by lakes and cowfields this university is a must see!

I don't know how to explain it, the energy in Death Valley on Saturday night was electric. Now, I must confess, I was sorta bored for the first half ....Clemson would score, Georgia would score, Clemson would give it a go and Georgia would return the favor and so on and so fourth.... Exhaustion was also setting in (we had been up since early in the am and I did not sit down all day!) so I was more than happy to trudge back through the massive crowd to our tailgate for half time. (YES Clemson does let you leave the stadium and re-enter during the game... they even stamp your hand. How very efficient????) I also must admit that the thought did cross my mind to not re-enter the game. Y'all, I.was.spent. and it was already passed 10:30pm BUT I put my big girl panties on and headed back in to watch the rest of the game. I am so glad I did!!! When Georgia missed that field goal during the 3rd quarter our Clemson Clan knew that we had a shot. The crowd began reacting to Clemson's every move and cheered our Tigers on to a glorious victory!! What a feeling to be a part of such joy and excitement!

ReplyDeleteI love all your great tailgating ideas!
ReplyDeleteLove love love this - you have inspired me to do my own blog - you are so talented!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking tailgate! We are Clemson alums and huge fans! We love going back to tailgate for football games but our tailgates don't look quite this cute and coordinated. I'll have to work on that :) What did you use to make the hanging football and the banner? Is it burlap?
ReplyDeleteOk that mac and cheese looks super tasty! I'm going to have to check out your recipe for that! And I love the bracelets! Those are super popular right now. Yay for a fun weekend weekends newcastle
ReplyDeleteWhile it is unseemly to contrast a congregation with a business, houses of worship should see how marking can assist them with maintaining their allure and spread their message. logo design service
