Danny L. Cannon, 63, stands in front of his home in the Calhoun neighborhood in Clemson, S.C. Cannon is a diehard Clemson football fan, but he and his neighbors have been feeling increased pressure from living less than two miles from the university. Cannon says the neighborhood is a fraction of the size it was when he first moved there 40 years ago.

It's family land. It's my land," Cannon says.
