With Clemson's newest win, everyone is talking about the players and what they stand for. Ben Boulware is someone the media is now not only obsessed with but fawning over (let's be honest we're doing it too). If you are not or if you do not see why people are obsessed with him here are seven reasons why Ben Boulware is bae.
1. His haters are his motivators.
The boy got a National Championship Trophy tattooed on his heel to prove a point for goodness sakes. When someone tells Ben that he can't he goes out of his way to prove that he can. He doesn't let the world around him define who he is or what he does. Also, instead of being hateful back, Ben goes out of his way to not be mean or spiteful and would rather just make sure what they say is just wrong. Tell him he won't see a second national championship? He will body slam his way to Tampa. Tell him that trophy is unachievable because the defense is Clemson's Achilles Heel and that's exactly where he gets his tattoo after his victory. How absolutely attractive is that?
2. His relationship with Jesus is just...
This man loves God probably more than football. That's a lot. He gives God the glory when he wins and when he loses. His love for God is a great example of how we want to be loved by anyone and honestly, a man who gives it all to God has to be bae in my book.
3. He inspires me to be better.
His drive, his speeches, his life. He makes you feel like you have the ability to do more than what you are doing. His crazy outbursts and the way his emotions are portrayed just makes you believe that you could be more like him too. Sometimes you can see him on the television, usually screaming into the microphone, and his genuine ability to better himself seeps into the way you think about yourself and how your life could be better if you just worked as hard as Ben. Not only does he inspire me to be better he makes me want to be better.
4. He not only loves Clemson, he loves his team and his coach.
It is very evident that this Clemson football player has been influenced by the team around him. His love for his football team radiates in every pregame or postgame speech he gives. He wrote a heartfelt letter to the university that brought everyone to tears. His love for Dabo shows in the respect that Ben has for him and he shows it every chance he gets.
5. The beard.
This one is self-explanatory. Whether it be his long, flowing beard or his curly mustache it just gets ya.
6. His completely warranted overreactions to his tackles.
Who else looks like he is about to bust at the seams every time he tackles someone? Just Ben, but boy does he look good doing it.
7. His ability to stay humble.
Lastly, this man has been talked about on more sports television networks than anyone could think possible, and yet he remains to stay humbled. He never thinks that because he went to the national championship (twice) that he deserves more than the next person. It is quite obvious that this man is someone you want chasing your heart.
