\"Clemson<\/a>

Sarah Barron Stuber \u201909 with Patti Dodgen also a Clemson alum<\/p><\/div>
\nSarah Barron Stuber \u201909 found that waving the Clemson flag \u2028on ESPN \u201cGameDay\u201d brings new Clemson friends, even in East Lansing, Michigan. She had been at \u201cGameDay\u201d for about an hour when Patti Dodgen walked over to say that she was also a Clemson alum and to express her appreciation for Stuber bringing Clemson to East Lansing. Dodgen\u2019s husband is a Michigan State graduate, and they make the trip up from their home in Tampa \u2028for at least one game each year.
\nAs they began talking, they realized Dodgen was from the same hometown as Stuber\u2019s father, Tommy Barron \u201976. Not only had Dodgen grown up next door, she also lived with Stuber\u2019s aunt (Mary Roberts Barron) at Clemson and knew Dodgen\u2019s mother.
\n\u201cI had heard her name many times before, when my dad would tell stories of his childhood in York, but never had the pleasure of meeting her,\u201d says Stuber. \u201cIt was a special Clemson family moment, and we spent the last two hours of \u201cGameDay\u201d talking and laughing about how a Clemson flag in East Lansing, Michigan, can bring together two Tiger families from South Carolina after almost 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
