Burning Tigers

Ok, so were not going to burn the tiger this year. Political correctness, you win again. But the truth is, this is vastly unnecessary. There is definitely such a thing as being over politically correct. Sure, Clemson and USC student both died in that beach house fire, and because it was a fire, and because there were students from each school represented, that obviously means that thats what we're representing. This is wrong. By burning a tiger we're not disrespecting the Clemson student who lost her life in that fire, were simply having a pep rally to get everyone excited about a football game. Sure, now were destroying that silly tiger with a tractor (maybe two, I'm unsure) but there is simply nothing that will get a student more pumped up than burning something hated. I have nothing against the utmost respect for those who perished that night in the fire, but to cancel something completely unrelated for the reason of political correctness is just downright incorrect.
