It's Sunday...tread lightly, 'Dad Jokes'!

I don't get to Clemson much...did yesterday driving about. Pretty sure I'd get lost walking about campus now, but I'm not opposed to the changes...it's still Clemson at its core...and I still love it. What really took me was how much the trees have grown in 50 years...I don't recall the 'shade tunnel' driving the road up to The Valley. That's an understated scene...a new element to how 'special it is in these Hills'. Okay, okay...I'll shut up now! This qualifies as a Sunday 'Dad Joke', I believe: What do you call a bale of hay in a church? A Christian Bale. It's a gorgeous morning near Table Rock! Hope it's the same wherever you are, Tiger Nation! Enjoy it!
