I don't know if anyone at the game noticed this as much as I did, but I thought the similarities in the programs, the fans and the way the game was played were freakin' scary. Before the game, if AU had not gone all-blue, you wouldn't have been able to tell the fans apart around the tailgating. Clemson's trademark obviously is the paw print so you could distinguish by that as well.
Not only do you have the obvious similarities such as the mascots being Tigers and the orange colors etc. but the bands even play a lot of the same stuff. At one point during a timeout, my boy pointed out to me that both bands were playing "Eye of the Tiger" at the same time. Then, you look at the game itself. Clemson came out and kicked Auburn's ass for a half. Then, Auburn kicks dey ass for a half. The score winds up tied and both teams had just over 400 total yards. Oooooooo.....frightening.
I know there are always isolated incidents and some of you may have been around some crappy Climpsum fans, but the ones I spoke to tailgated around were all very cool. (Much like myself) I'm going to look hard into making the return trip to South Carryliney next year.
