The Clemson Tigers celebrated its second national football title in three seasons Saturday before thousands of roaring fans in a crowd seven or eight people deep along the parade route in South Carolina.
Spectators and the team displayed a sea of orange and purple on the chilly and overcast morning after the Tigers became the first major school to finish 15-0 since Penn in 1897 with its College Football Playoff game wins over Notre Dame (30-3 in the Cotton Bowl) and Alabama.
'The 2018 team is the best ever,' Coach Dabo Swinney told fans as they accepted the Cotton Bowl trophy and the national championship prize in a mostly full arena of loud cheers at halftime during Clemson University's basketball game with No. 4 Virginia this weekend.

'Drop the mic. The best ever. And they have set a standard for all future teams.'
It came after on Friday evening President Donald Trump tweeted the group will gather again for a White House visit on Monday. He posted: 'What a game, what a coach, what a team!'
But during the homecoming featuring a marching band, mascots and cheerleader on Saturday, the coach added a sentiment expressed in previous years: 'These trophies do not define us. Our culture defines us.'
He lauded his players for their diligence in having the highest grade-point average in team history and for their fortitude in dealing of with the death of teammate C.J. Fuller to blood clots this past October.

Fans in the stadium cheered the replay of the championship game and roared as a retrospective of Swinney's 10 landmark years in charge flashed by.
'We've won two championships in three years,' receiver Hunter Renfrow said. 'Let's make it three in the last four.'
Christian Wilkins, Clemson's heart and soul this season, earlier rode through the streets with a box of doughnuts, throwing some to the crowd along the way.
He and Ferrell were caught on the stadium video board taking victory cigars from wrappers and putting the unlit stogies to their mouths as they broke out in conspiratorial laughter.

Trevor Lawrence, who threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns in the title game against Alabama, rode a flat-bed truck with dozens of teammates.
The parade had ended outside the stadium where the players line up to run down the hill before games.
Wilkins had a tearful outburst on national TV following the 44-16 rout of Alabama on Monday night in Santa Clara, California. He wanted to clear the air on that one.
'I'm not sorry I cried,' he said. 'I'm sorry I'm such an ugly crier.'
The Tigers will have some questions to answer before continuing their run. Ferrell was among four starting defensive underclassmen to declare for the NFL draft after the Tigers returned from California.

Tackle Dexter Lawrence along with linebacker Tre Lamar and championship defensive MVP in cornerback Trayvon Mullen also chose to give up their eligibility to turn pro. Barring any late NFL declarations, Clemson will have to replace at least seven starters on defense including their entire front four as Wilkins and defensive end Austin Bryant were seniors.
'I won't be missing the championships we won,' Ferrell said. 'I'll miss the people we won them with.'
'We have some the best fans in the world,' defensive tackle Albert Huggins said. 'They're always there to support us.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
