    I love the character you see in college coaches nowadays, no matter how much you hate a team or who you root for, you love seeing kids like David accepted by the Clemson players and dabo who treats him as if he was his own son. My family is adopting a Down syndrome girl from China and I couldn’t be happier.

    I first fell in love with Clemson College when they came down to Florida back in '87. The cheerleaders were on the back of a truck smiling and laughing and cheering for their team. Such team spirit, and I caught it. I'm not a football fan, but now I'm a Clemson Fan. Now I hear about David Saville and John Sweeney and how the Clemson Football team have embraced these wonderful young men with Down Syndrome. I can hardly think of them as being handicapped, sometimes I think that we who don't love unconditionally without great effort, are the ones who are handicapped. It's like they are the ones who come closer to being like Jesus than any of us. God bless them. And God bless Clemson College. Go Tigers!!
