Tigers end awards banquet with back-to-back marriage proposals

Clemson held its annual football awards banquet on Saturday, and as much love was in the air as hardware was. Not one, but two Tigers proposed at the end of the banquet.

Guard Eric Mac Lain was up first, popping the question just a tad quicker than his teammate:

A bit later on, linebacker Travis Blanks, who plans on entering the NFL Draft, also proposed to his girlfriend. He did so on stage for the entire Clemson football family to see.

This isn’t new for the Tigers. They’re a team of romantics, apparently. On Senior Day, offensive lineman Daniel Stone proposed to his girlfriend before his final game at Memorial Stadium.
