One heck of a Tiger in my Bulldog eyes ...

Nick Eason
2002 1st Team All ACC Super Bowl Champion
But what makes him so special in my eyes is he just donated $1,000,000 to my small south Georgia hometown cancer center in his mother's name.
Good man ...

Are you from Lyons or Vidalia ?? I didn't know he had made such a donation. Not surprising for a Clemson man though !!

I grew up in Vidalia

And my folks still live there. Graduated from RTCA in Lyons in 1980 ....
Knew another great Tiger from Vidalia. Baseball player Doug Roper ... Can't remember exactly when he was the, but around 1990- ish. Played in the minors a few years before he got injured.

You got me on that one ... I turned "L" this year ... Went to Roman numerals .... Just looks better on paper.
They say 60 is the new 30 ... I am beginning to believe it.

I know about the hunting. He learned to hunt with my single shot 410. Our fathers worked together at Piggly Wiggly Southern in Vidalia. You are right, it is a great family. My mom was on the board at PAYH. Hated to see Doug go, but he had to make money to support his family. You will not find a guy with better chrisitan values. He walks the walk ... If you know what I mean....
