After such an incredible football season, we knew we had to make the journey out to Phoenix to see our Tigers play for the National Championship. We couldn’t pass up the drive to the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon during our time there. The view speaks for itself and singing the Cadence Count with surrounding Clemson fans while overlooking the Canyon is a memory we are all sure to never forget.

Kemper and Sarah Brand flew out to Phoenix, AZ, to see the Tigers play for the National Championship! On the morning of the big game, they climbed Camelback Mountain just outside of Phoenix. The awe-inspiring views at the pinnacle made the tough, rugged 1,300-foot ascent well worth it. It was a wonderful part of the travel experience across the country!

The Metzgers traveled to Phoenix, Arizona to cheer on our Clemson Tigers at the National Championship! On the way we had to stop by the Grand Canyon — after all National title…National Monument, it just goes together. Along with many others, we donned our Clemson Orange to witness one of the great world wonders, and although the game didn’t have the outcome we hoped for the Clemson Spirit was strong!

While on vacation in Thailand on December 31, 2015, my mind was certainly on what was about to happen in the Orange Bowl half a world away. In Chiang Mai, there is a Tiger preservation center called Tiger Kingdom, so it seemed appropriate to pay a visit. The tigers were amazing though the workers there were somewhat baffled by my Tiger rag. Between my determination to visit the tigers and to get up at 4 a.m. to listen to streaming radio of the Orange Bowl, I am pretty sure my friends thought I was crazy. But I’m also sure that my father David Goldsmith (Class of ’49; 1928-1989), who could never get through the Alma Mater without tearing up, was smiling down!

Rodney Thomas, Rick Walters, Bobby Fleming and Drew Walters took second place, while Mike Hirsch, Jimmy Kimbell, Brandon Bailey and Justin Hirsch took third.
