Theres been a lot of snipping and griping here for a few days. Somehow this game feels bigger than the last couple NCG. Some of us have invested a lot of time and money, and it feels like a huge deal.. I get it.
Let's keep in mind that we are fans of a sports team that represents a university we love. It's a privilege to have a team to still cheer for, as 126 other schools do not. This season is an overwhelming success. We are 14-0 and playing for a title. Its awesome!! We should treat it and each other that way. Remember, this is all for fun.
If that's still not enough, then let's get basic. I'm working in the hospital in Sacramento today. As I walk through the halls, I see people crying and consoling one another, people on phones discussing how they try to deal with whatever their new life reality is. People sick, healing, or dying. Families effected. Financial, emotional, physical crisis. This is real life stess. We Clemson fans, we're just haing fun. So take a big deep breath or 3 and say a prayer for the folks who need it. As for us, let's try to put a smile on and be a little better.. myself included.
