Football Fans

So...who do you expect to see camping? People on vacation. Of course. People like us who work and live full time in their RV's. Yes, we have that too.

But what about football fans?

Today we have several football fans parked behind us (we can see them from our windows). I'm writing this post on Saturday, December 5. The ACC football championship game is this evening at the Charlotte Stadium where the Carolina Panthers play. Clemson vs. North Carolina. I haven't seen any UNC fans, but Clemson, with their orange and purple gear, is well represented. One person has some orange paw print magnets on their truck (for the Clemson Tigers), but that is overshadowed by the guy whose truck is painted white, orange and purple.

I took this photo from our dining room window. (Okay...we don't really have a dining room. It's the window above the table where we eat.)

As you can see, it's a beautiful fall day here. 

A few weeks ago we had several campsites containing fans of the Philadelphia Eagles who were here to play the Carolina Panthers. They were a fun group and even loaded up their RVs and took them to the game to tailgate. 

When I chatted with the Eagles fans (who kindly brought me an ice cream sandwich while I was working, so now I'm a fan too), I asked if they went to every game. They told me that they usually pick one game per season and make the big road trip. Sounded like a great idea, particularly if you're a football fan. 

Oh...and another thing I've learned. The Clemson symbol is an orange tiger paw. We used to live in Ada, Ohio, the home of the Ohio Northern University Polar Bars. Their symbol is also and orange tiger paw. So when I saw a guy in a white shirt with an orange tiger paw logo, I asked if he'd gone to ONU. Given the 'duh' look he gave me, I have to assume he didn't. Apparently this is Clemson country.
