Five things Clemson football fans should celebrate about 2020 season

The 2020 Clemson football season has come to a close and it didn’t end as Tiger fans would have wanted.

Though Tiger fans were hoping to see their team crowned as National Champions for the third time in five years, Clemson fell short in a 49-28 blowout against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

We’ve spent plenty of time talking about some of the disappointing aspects of that game and what the Tigers need to do as they move forward into 2021, but it certainly wasn’t all bad.

Here are five things that  Clemson football fans should celebrate about the 2020 season.

5. We actually had a season

Let’s go ahead and start with the most obvious one of all: We actually had a season.

There were people in May, June, July, August and even early September who continued to say there was no way we’d have a season. Even when teams started to play, we continuously heard from doubters who talked about how they’d never be able to finish.

The fact remains: It wasn’t a perfect season by any stretch of the imagination. There were cancellations and there were games made up. There were bowl games scheduled that never got played.

Even so, we got to see this Clemson football team take the field a total of 12 times with only one game canceled all season. In a year where a lot of joy was taken away, Tiger fans should never take it for granted that we got to see Clemson in action and we even got to see upwards of 19,000 fans in Death Valley for home games.

That’s something many media pundits around the nation said would never happen.
