This past weekend Babs and I went to the first annual Dabo's Ladies Clinic in Clemson. We went to Bowden's Ladies Clinic last summer and loved it. Instead of being held in the West End Zone, the ladies clinic was in Littlejohn Coliseum. There were about 1,100 women at the clinic this year and the individual groups were larger than last year. The visits to each station were still awesome, and the new facilities look great! I believe all this cost around $80,000,000. That's chump change right?
Dabo did a great job introducing the new coaching staff and getting us ready for the clinic and the upcoming football season. All the coaching staff wore pink clinic shirts in honor of cancer awareness. Real men wear pink...right? Actually, we were all hoping to get pink shirts for the clinic, but of course, we were given orange ones.
After touring the team rooms over in the west end zone, we came back to Littlejohn for lunch and to watch the second annual tiger idol contest. This year Korn played a little guitar and a few players from the kicking team sang "A Whole New World" complete with female vocals :) It was hilarious.
I believe one of my favorite parts of the clinic is touring the locker room and seeing the players' booths. There are several murals on the walls with inspirational messages and quotes. It definitely gives you that game day feeling!
At the end of the day, we all get to have our pictures taken on the hill. Of course you get to run down and walk on the field. I chose to skip running down the hill, because I felt I did a great job walking down without tumbling to the bottom. It's extremely steep for those of you who have never been down it. While everyone else ran down the hill, I decided to get in line for CJ Spiller's autograph. Of course, this also turned into a fight because many of the women don't know how to stand in line! But I won't get into that. I eventually got my autograph and felt satisfied with my day!
