Good crowd, although I think we were outnumbered by LSU fans

We were in the club section on the Clemson side, in an area mostly filled with Falcon's season ticket holders so the crowd was mixed. LSU fans near us were in total shock during the last two drives, complaining about the play calling for LSU on their last drive (3 passes) and completely stunned when we converted the 4th and 16. It is really, really nice to be on the winning side of one of these games for a change, especially after our GA Dome / Peach Bowl history. Happy New Year, go Tigers!

From where you were sitting,

you could not see the difference between the upper deck above you and the upper deck on their side. We had many more folks in the upper deck. I could not see our endzone upper deck. I am guessing it was similar to theirs with many empty seats.

It was exciting but not electric until the end

The upper deck endzone seating that both schools were assigned was noticeably empty. I had awesome seats (see the pic below) but unfortunately was on the LSU side of the stadium. The cajun fans around me were pretty subdued most of the game. The Clemson side seemed louder throughout the game.
Only one negative comment from any LSU fan and that was in the first quarter when LSU got penalizd for a personal foul. I was the only Clemson fan at the urinal and as he was leaving the men's room he yelled "Guess Clemson isn't used to SEC hitting". What a dumb a$$, like that had anything to do with the refs call.
Clemson fans were also very loud on MARTA with our C-L-E-M-S-O-N chant.

Kind of like tigernet, but without most of the know-it-alls.
First half everyone was upbeat and believed we would win. In the 3rd qtr, the feeling seemed to be that we had seen this before, yet we knew we could hang and looked for a positive sign. Early in the 4th, I saw one instance of us starting to eat our own. As the 4th wore on, the belief built steadily throughout. After completing the 4th and 16, we were like a pressure cooker ready to explode. We could smell and taste the victory. After the kick, it was Clemson as its best.
I had not attended a peach/cfa bowl since miss st. I had never seen empty seats like last night but we most definitely had the most tigers there. Let me assure you, those in purple and gold were as shocked as those jackwads on tnet that like to point out our shortcomings.
