killer cacti Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Gaines was a great guy, who very rarely entered a room at Clemson without a smile on his face. After working with the DL for 4 years, I got to know Gaines very well. He could always make everyone laugh, and gave everything to the game of football. I hate to see you go, we're going to miss you Gaines. #93 Quote Link to comment
