Clemson vs. Carolina...In Haiti?

I know. Who would have thought that while on a mission trip to Haiti, there would still be competition between Clemson and Carolina! Well there was and continues to be!

Everyone was prepped before leaving to bring "your colors". That means orange for Clemson and garnet/black for University of South Carolina. Throughout the week everyone wears their colors to support their team. Of course, I root for the best team around, The Gamecocks!

We know who they are rooting for!

Brewster was able to bring a satellite phone with us on this trip, which was very handy. It was mainly there for emergencies, but everyone was able to call home if they wanted or needed to. While Brewster was on the phone with his wife, he found out that the Gamecocks beat Kentucky 24-17! When Brewster shared the news we all cheered! All of the Tiger fans were bummed because they lost! Hanging out on the porch, celebrating the Gamecocks victory!

Leslie brought out USC tattoos and all of the fans displayed them proudly! We attempted to take a picture of the "winning team", but are photo was not taken properly (of course it was by a Clemson fan)!

We tried it one more and and almost got it right!

Go Cocks!

Me, Brian, Matt, Leslie, Chris, and Billy(squeezed on the end).

As soon as our picture was taken, the Clemson crew had to come and interrupt our moment of joy! Typical.

Even our Haitian friends are choosing sides and they have never even heard of Clemson University or USC! Arturo and I.

I guess the rivalry will never end!
