Losing is never easy, especially for a group of players who are not used to losing.
During their four-year career at Clemson, the seniors lost just four times, including last week’s loss to LSU in the national championship game. It was a difficult pill for a proud class to swallow. However, as the Tigers were walking off the field, as purple and gold confetti fell all around them, they heard a thunderous ovation coming from the Clemson fan section.
The 20,000 or so Clemson fans that attended the national championship game at the Superdome in New Orleans, let their players know how proud they were of them, and in their eyes they’re still the champions.
