I figured we would see something like this, but I would have thought it would have been next Sunday when the NFL season gets underway.
BTW... Hey coach, Are Elmer and yourself responsible for these?

Security upped after Clemson University Police receive bomb threats
CLEMSON, S.C. -- Security has been heightened at Clemson's Memorial Stadium for tonight's football game against No. 19 Florida State after Clemson University Police received two bomb threats Monday, according to university officials.
It was the third bomb threat received by Clemson police since Aug. 27, according to a pair of alerts issued to university faculty by school officials.
University police told ESPN they received two threats earlier Monday, the first of which targeted Sirrine Hall, which is located behind the John C. Calhoun Mansion at the center of campus.
According to an e-mail alert sent to university faculty earlier Monday, Clemson Police chief Johnson Link requested a bomb task force from nearby Anderson, S.C., which included an explosive-detecting dog. No explosive device was found.
The target of the second threat wasn't immediately known.
On Aug. 26, the school's admissions department received a threat that claimed a bomb was located in Sikes Hall, which houses many of the school's administrative offices. The e-mail threat wasn't read until the following day, according to the police alert, and the Anderson police bomb task force swept that building and found no device.
Anderson Police and University Police have set up a command center in nearby Littlejohn Coliseum. If a threat to the stadium is received by police before or during the game, Clemson president James F. Barker will decide whether to evacuate the teams and more than 83,000 fans.
The schools' associate commissioners, head coaches and ACC officials are aware of the possibility of a threat. The players hadn't been told of the threat an hour before kickoff.
ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe asked fans if they were worried about the threats before the game and they responded, "Oh, no." The fans told Rowe they were just worried about the outcome of the game.
