My fellow Carolina fans, my friends, and my family…hold onto your hats because Mike Kelly is dedicating this week’s KellyGram to the 2016 National Champions, the Clemson Tigers! I am a diehard Carolina supporter, both academically and athletically, as compared to anyone on the face of this Earth, but I must give credit where credit is due. The Clemson Tigers pulled off a phenomenal achievement, with the quality and excellent players on their team over the past several seasons, culminating in a National Championship victory Monday night. My hat is off to Dabo and the entire team, especially Deshaun Watson and Hunter Renfrow (a Grand Strand walk-on who saved his best game for the championship). The entire Clemson nation should be very proud!

Here’s to hoping that Will Muschamp and his program will one day emulate the success of the 2016 Clemson Tigers!
