Just remember where you were and what you were doing when you had faith that Deshaun and company were going to be legendary!!!
It’s a great reflection for true blue Tiger Fans! We are so blessed!! And...still defending champions ranked #1 since day one. What feels good is the whole nation knows we earned it! Go Tigers!!

Y wife was concerned when Bama score and I literally told here they left enough time. he will be fine. And he was. it was a great drive. Pretty much what you would hope DW4 would do in a situation like that

Will never forget where I was or how that moment felt. The years of underachieving were washed away in that magic moment.

I yelled so loud my neighbors called to say we must have won because they heard the yelling and screaming. One thing, I’ve never been more moved hearing the team, coaches, fans singing the Alma Mater all in unison. Great finish to a great year! Go Tigers, let’s do it again!

We could win 10 in a row, and it won't FEEL as good

as that play and that natty. One sad side-effect of being an alum of an elite sports program: I either feel satisfied or disappointed. I don't have anywhere near the good feeling highs I had when we were mediocre. Though the intense pain is totally gone. Interesting how reality works.
I almost collapsed when he made that catch. I took my hat off, dropped it on the coffee table, in silence and walked outside and cried in my driveway. I don't know why.
This second natty (3rd overall) I screamed like a charging confederate soldier when we had that pick six... then my face just hurt the rest of the game from constantly smiling so big.
I loved both of them... but one was FAR more emotional than the other.

The 1st part of the whooping we gave the Tide in January we screamed so loud the neighbors were watching too and we heard them too.
Not a sound from the Bama fans across the street....lol the coot grads behind us were in bed early like the Bama fans.
That whole game was so enjoyable. The most satisfying win ever in a big game minus the 1st two natty’s!!

The single greatest game/moment for a natty.
Also, honorable mention.

Hunter Renfrow is more of a legend than most of us realize. He was the heartbeat of the team, a little Dabo as a player coach from a walk on.
We screamed that whole last drive, we celebrated and laughed so hard and had tears of joy too. So much emotion from years of desiring more from a program that has always been special!!

I was in the RV parking lot outside of the stadium in Tampa.
Too poor to buy a ticket but wanted to be close to the event.
As soon as the catch was made I ran around in circles in the parking lot yelling and screaming like a little kid on the playground. There were hugs and high fives exchanged with friends and strangers alike. At one point I laid on the ground for several minutes just trying to soak it all in. The yelling and cheering woke up my 8 month old daughter, so my wife went and got her out of the RV so she could join in for the celebration and the pictures.
I don't expect to ever have another sports moment in my life that will compare to that one.
I love posts like this that refresh my memory of the feelings and actions that followed that play.
Thank you!

I'll never forget it. I was downstairs watching by myself. My girlfriend had fallen asleep by now so it was just me stressing out on my own. When Renfrow caught the ball I dropped to my knees, threw my hands up and yelled. Pure bliss in that moment. Ran upstairs and woke up my girl. The next morning she told me I was crying when I woke her up. I don't even remember the tears forming, but i didn't doubt that it happened either. I think I go back and watch that drive at least once a month.

#1 Drive in Clemson history
Sep 12, 2019, 1:06 PM
|
|
I was watching it thinking...Since 7th grade Deshaun has practiced the 2 minute drive. Hundreds of times through the years. And here it is for the money. What an experience.
#2 all time is the Alabama-Walk Away. 10 minutes of total domination over the "best" team in history, just to walk away from the five as time ran out. Still gives me shivers.

he was at Clemson. When the time came against Alabama there wasn’t much of a doubt that him and his teammates were going to pull it off.

I was over at my parents house with family watching the game. My uncle and sister were in another room watching the game because the TV in that room was ahead of ours in the living room by 5 seconds or so. Ill never forget them running out of the room with their hands in the air screaming OMG! OMG!.. such a great family moment.

front porch, and shouted "YES! TOUCHDOWN!" at my Coot neighbors across the street. Then, family did much happy jumping up and down and rejoicing in front of the TV. Not ashamed to admit there were some moist eyes in the house. But, they were pure tears of unrestrained joy.
Another Clemson Championship: It really DOES mean more.
