Sometimes it’s better when things do not go as planned

It’s funny how things work out.

When he came to Clemson in the summer of 1978, Tim Bourret’s plan was to work at Clemson just one year and then head back to Notre Dame, where he thought there was going to be an opening in the Irish’s sports information office where he worked all four years as an undergrad.

Thankfully for Clemson University, and for sportswriters in the state of South Carolina, the ACC and beyond, those plans never panned out. Instead, Bourret stayed at Clemson where he has had one of the more decorated careers in the history of Sports Information.
