Brownell got a little ‘animated’ with Donnal

Following Clemson’s 72-63 victory over No. 18 Miami at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, Brad Brownell told the media he was a little more animated on the sideline Saturday afternoon than he normally is because he felt it was a game the Tigers needed to win and he wanted to show his team how important it meant to him.

So since he was feeling a little “animated,” why not show it some, too.

When he was recruiting Mark Donnal to Clemson after the Michigan graduate decided he wanted to transfer, Brownell’s former player, Billy Donlon, a former assistant coach on the Wolverines’ staff gave Brownell a little tip on how to handle the 6-foot-9, 232-pound center.
