Clemson’s decision to play Saturday night’s home football game against Stanford was not made lightly or without thought to those impacted by the hurricane.
The hurricane swept through Florida late Thursday and impacted Georgia and the Carolinas Friday, and the devastation in swaths of the Upstate of South Carolina can’t be understated. I am sitting in a hotel lobby to write this because it has WiFi, and my own home will likely be without power for several days.
My wife was given tickets and decided to take our two little ones out of the house and to the football game, and both boys had a blast, and it was a needed and enjoyable distraction from the hours of cleaning up and moving around to find showers and food and gas.
