Mrs. Walker was so excited about this last night. She had a few French classes with her while at Clemson.
Why was Julie Coin taking French? I thought she was from France?
The ESPN article about the story has a video of her from the post-match presser talking about loving Clemson football and why she “hates the chickens.”

They were advanced classes and yes she is from France. What are half of the althletes doing taking PRTM, it’s easy. I’m sure French is easy for Coin. I’d do the same thing if I was going to go Pro one day. Then again, I’d probably fail English.
One of the funniest interview pieces I have seen in a while.
honestly, the title of “Clemson alum hates the chickens” was awesome!
