Every football player wants to go to a bowl.
At the same time, there's something special about being home for the holidays. Clemson's Tigers will enjoy the best of both worlds later this month. Coach Tommy Bowden will release the Tigers after practice on Dec. 22 for a four-day Christmas break. For a good number of Tigers, the bowl trip will be little more than a drive down the street. But this bowl is one I think players prefer, just because we have so many players from the state of Georgia.
