Unlike Spurrier, I can make a promise.

And unlike Holtz, when I make a promise I have every intention of keeping it.
As the days of the 2005 offseason wind down, I would like to take this moment to publicly pledge to support my Tigers.
To the players I promise to cheer your accomplishments and share the pain of our failures. I will remember that when I'm hurting from a loss, you will be hurting more. And I will keep in mind that you are a kid playing a game and I am the adult.
To the coaching staff I promise to not pretend I know more about football than you. I will respect your position and refrain from criticizing your performance. I will do my job as a fan and allow you to do yours asa coach.
To Coach Bowden I promise to support you 100 percent and trust that no matter what happens you will be working your tail off to get it corrected. I will be patient when things don't go as planned, because I know there will be another FSU, or UT, or Miami type victory to cherish very soon. I will not say you are on the hot seat, nor will I stand quietly by while others throw out that garbage. I think you have earned at least that much respect.
To the other fans, I will treat you with respect and try to separate the person from the fan. Even cockfans.
To the game officials I promise nothing. I will jeer you relentlessly when you make a bad call against my Tigers. I will even do it when I think you make a bad call. So you better get it right.
And lastly, to the other 82,000 Clemson fans in the Valley, I promise to be louder during the entire game than I have ever been. As a fan in the stands I only have one job to do. I intend to do it well.
Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!
