We decided to start the new year in Jacksonville, FL for the Gator Bowl: Clemson Tigers vs Nebraska Huskers. I'm not really a football fan but the excitement is contagious when you're surrounded by 70,000 screaming fans. Our tailgating experience was interesting. Parked beside us was a family of 6 all crammed in an old Chevy. Imagine three big Americans in the front seat, and three in the back. As they got out, they quickly set up their folding chairs and started eating fried chicken. It was just as I'd picture it but even better. The game itself was an emotional roller coaster as the teams took turns in the lead. In the end, the Tigers were defeated but the orange sea of fans still sang loudly as the Clemson band played the school song. After the game we had a quick bite to eat and headed four hours north back to South Carolina.
