As a Carolina Gamecock, I feel that the tradition of burning the tiger was a great tradition to skip this year. I feel that this year is a year where Clemson and USC should be in a way "United" despite being rivals. The fire that happened earlier involving both of our school's students is why this should happen. I believe that the reason we should skip this tradition for the year is because fire is the reason we had a lot of students in mourning. The use of fire in this tradition was simply too soon because people are still feeling the effects of this tragedy. As far as policy goes, I think this tradition should not change in the following years. I don't believe it is what these students would have wanted. This is just a great tradition to skip for the year because it shows respect for them.
