There was Souther barbecue and sweet tea for all...
...rainy at Clemson. For the many Notre Dame fans and Stedsmen who traveled to Clemson this past weekend, it was rainy to say the least. Still, Irish fans were treated to true Southern hospitality by local ND clubs as well as Clemson fans themselves. Yet, important to know that despite the high winds, heavy rains, lots of mud, and the state of emergency in the State of South Carolina... the St. Edward's Flag flew proudly at Clemson last Saturday! Present at the game was the Mathes family who, interestingly enough, have sons at both schools! Sons Jay '12 and Parker '19 don the blue and gold while middle brother, Charlie '16, stands out in purple and orange. On the experience of brothers reunited, yet a house divided, Jay and Parker said, "We took the spirit of Fr. Edward Sorin with us onto the field. But alas, a win was JUST beyond the grasp of the Irish."
Also happening during the Clemson weekend...
Rivalry was set aside as brothers Charlie, Jay, and Parker Mathes shared an umbrella.
Dick Vitale was one for two that weekend as he predicted a trouncing of Zahm on Sunday.
Chris Patterson '14, Fr. Ralph, and John Clark '16 readied themselves for the game with the local Alumni Club.
