1982 Orange Bowl
Thirty years ago Clemson won the 1981 national championship by beating Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl. I asked readers for their memories and want to thank those that responded. Below are several readers memories from that special time in Clemson history:

My dad Robert Earl and I and a good friend Jim Gough drove down to our last Orange Bowl. There a few highlights that I remember vividly. UNC was playing in the Gator Bowl and it was so foggy the TV cameras could not view the field as the teams played. We were driving through Jacksonville about the time of the game and you could not see 20 feet in front of our car on I95. My dad never let up driving and we made it in record time. We stayed at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott where the Nebraska alumni were staying. The networks kept flashing up maps with a picture of where Clemson was located and kind of talked like we maybe should not be there. The Nebraska fans were very nice and were buying drinks for everybody and flashing $100 bills all over the place. They all kept asking where Clemson was, kind of like the had the game won already. Well after the game they all said they knew where Clemson was now and were still buying drinks for the house. Great fans. Homer Jordan, Perry Tuttle and the whole defense stand out in my mind from so long ago. Let’s go make some more memories for years to come with another Orange Bowl victory. GO TIGERS! Thanks for what you do.

I'm just one year older than you but was fortunate enough to be able to go the Miami for the 81' Orange Bowl. Not sure how my dad finagled it, but we had 12 box seats at the 50 on the front row right behind Clemson's bench. The seats were kind of low and it was difficult to see the game at times but being able to see the players and coaches interact was worth missing a play here and there. Me and my brother Troy had our faces painted half orange and half white. I'm not sure when that fad started with all the face and body painting, but I don't remember seeing many other fans doing this in the early 80's. By the end of the game we had our pictures taken as much as the players. At one point there must have been 8 to 10 cameras in front of us at one time snapping and filming. We ended up on TV as well. Great memories. My family of 5 is going this year and we have $260 in two dollar bills stamped with orange Tiger Paws and ready to go. Hope to see you down there.

Go Tigers!!

I wanted to share with you my memories from the 1981 Orange Bowl.
I was 3 years out of Clemson.
Needless to say I had no priority for getting any tickets from Clemson.
I called Nebraska University and finally got their ticket office.
I asked the woman if they had any tickets for the Orange Bowl.
She replied yes and and asked me how many did I need.
I told her I needed 23 tickets and she replied, do you have a credit card?
I almost fainted.
Ended up sitting on the 45 yard line.
Before the game started, we were in our seats and a Nebraska fan was sitting behind me.
The whole stadium was orange.
He looked at me and said, G*#$damn, this a friggin home game for ya'll!
My voice finally returned 3 days after the game.
GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm an '87 grad who played in Tiger Band drum line for 5 years. (Hey - 4 1/2 years at Clemson at that time meant 5 football seasons with Danny Ford as head coach!) My dad was a long time IPTAY Rep, a Clemson grad and the reason that I was attending Clemson football games before I started elementary school.

My family took an RV to the '81 game, but decided to stay in hotels once we got there. I remember, for some reason, that we failed to take into consideration that Miami was hot compared to Columbia, SC; we went there with long sleeves and sweaters. I didn't care. I saw my Tigers defeat a snobby Nebraska team and coach. I saw people at the game carrying "gamecock" stadium seats wearing Nebraska shirts. When the game was over I politely told a few of them, "You can't beat us no matter who you pull for!" I guess I was a bit bold for my age of 16 years! I remember seeing Sen. Strom Thurmond celebrating outside the stadium when it was over! I will NEVER forget the intense excitement and pride in Clemson!

My Dad Taught me well! I can almost see him in his seat every time I am in the Valley!

I went to the '81 Orange Bowl with 4 of my good friends and saw several of my friends from back in Sumter at our hotel down in Ft. Lauderdale. As it was New Years Eve the night before the game,we had a lot of fun out on the town with the Nebraska fans. They were great sports but NONE of them took our Team seriously! We went back out the next night but the Nebraska fans were a no show. We were all "twenty something's" at the time and this was a very exciting trip for us. Now we are all going back as 'fifty something's' so we will probably get a little more sleep this trip and we will not have the New Years celebrations to keep us up too late. Interestingly, my ticket for the National Championship game was $15.00. My parents went to the 1951 Orange bowl,and I still have the tickets, which were $6.13 for that game. My parents actually went with the parents of one of the guys on both of my Orange Bowl trips. Our tickets this year are $150.00!

I think I read that you were 13 for the '81 game so you probably don't remember this little side note to the game. There was a little controversy sometime before the game as the ABC network has run a story about some possible NCAA violations at Clemson and against Coach Ford. It was first aired by Jim Lampley (sp), whom I think is a UNC grad, and it infuriated alot of Clemson fans. I don't think anything ever came of it but I went out and had 1,000 of what I guess you would call bootleg bumper stickers printed up. We sold them at the game for $1. We had a blast doing it as we got hats from the hot dog venders that said.....Hot Dogs $1. We covered up the Hot Dogs with the bumper sticker and walked around the stadium talking to people and just enjoying every minute of it! We probably only sold three or four hundred, but what fun talking to everyone. The bumperstickers had the ABC logo on one end with the red circle and crossed out, a tiger paw on the other end and "Orange Bowl1982" printed in the middle. So if you see a white Suburban with a couple of those bumper stickers, you know its us.

RR

P.S. I paid all the necessary licensing fees and report all earnings and paid the taxes..............

I well remember attending the Orange Bowl at the end of the 1981 season. Having graduated from Clemson in 1979, my college buddies and I were not going to miss a chance to see our Tigers perform in the old Orange Bowl Stadium.

My wife and I and another couple left Clemson to head south and stopped in Columbia to pick up my old Clemson roommate and his wife. The six of us were packed liked sardines in a car built for five and drove all night long to arrive in Miami the day before the game. We had a blast in Miami finding Tiger fans everywhere we went. Arriving at the hotel where our team was staying, we scored a ride on one of the Clemson busses to the stadium. We had decent seats in the stadium and cheered upon hearing the news that Alabama lost in the Cotton Bowl and Georgia lost in the Sugar Bowl. A win over Nebraska meant the National Championship was ours!

After much celebration, we again boarded a bus to go back to the team hotel. When the players arrived, we greeted them in the lobby and celebrated more. It was a surreal experience for everyone and was truly a trip that seems like yesterday!!! I hope the 2012 Orange Bowl will be another success!!! Go Tigers!!!

The Orange Bowl from thirty years ago is filled with special memories for me. In fact I could fill up your entire column if I halfway tried, but I'll try to keep it short.

It was my good fortune to be serving as the President of IPTAY from 1981 until 1983, and it was also my good fortune to be able to enjoy that very special trip to Miami with my wife and our four children. My parents, now deceased, were also at the game, as were my siblings and their families. My dad, W. Price (Pap) Timmerman was a former Clemson football player, having kicked the field goal that enabled Clemson to defeat Auburn in 1926 or 1927 by the score of 3-0.

We all had enjoyed victories over Georgia, UNC and USC (the Columbia version) and had watched our progress go up to #3 in the national polls. All the pieces of the puzzle fell into place perfectly just before kickoff when we became certain that the #2 ranked team had lost it's bowl game and our Clemson Tigers were going head to head against the #1 ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Aside from the game itself, a very special memory occurred during the halftime festivities. The nationally acclaimed vocalist, Jack Jones, sang "To Dream The Impossible Dream". Wow! Clemson's impossible dream was about to be realized. I turned to my wife and said..."Clemson is just half a football game away from football eternity!

Another pleasant memory occurred on the drive back home to Columbia. In that huge line of Tiger fans heading home from Miami I kept noticing a car covered with multiple gamecock stickers. Upon closer inspection I was able to read a homemade sign in the rear window which stated "THIS IS A BORROWED CAR"!!!!

Hope your first trip to the Orange Bowl will be as pleasant as mine was!

My wife and I were lucky enough to attend the National Championship game at the Orange Bowl with my brother, sister-in-law and another couple. Several things stand out from the trip and the game.
1. Never doubt that your wife can pick a winner in a horse race because she likes the name of the horse. I did and had I made her bet, most of our trip would have been paid for.
2. Whatever the weather forecast says the high will be, add to it because we burned up and had to go shopping.
3. It is a long, long drive from South Carolina to Miami.
4. We will never know who he was but thanks to the Clemson Alumni bus driver that my wife and sister-in-law talked into letting us on the bus or we would not have seen the game.
5. The Nebraska fans at our hotel had no clue where Clemson was and were far more than confident but were all out of sight when we returned from the game.
7. I will never forget the sheer joy when the game was over and other than the birth of our daughters and now 4 grandchildren, I don't know of many times that I have been happier and more proud than I was that night in Miami.
Go Tigers!

In response to your most recent blog, I thought I’d pass along my memories of 1981. And fine memories they have been, as I was a freshman at Clemson that year!

Coming off of a less than spectacular 1980 season, expectations were low to non-existent. However, as the year moved ahead, there was one clear observation about the Tigers 1981 team and that was a talented and relentless defense! Before becoming names of Tiger lore, few thought of Headen, Kinard, The Judge, Suttle, Scott, Triplett or The Fridge. Much less Mayberry, Berryhill, Nanney, Austin, McSwain, Magwood, Jordan, Tuttle, Igwebuike or even Danny Ford!

I made every home game that year, though, as a freshman, road tripping was also a popular sport! I packed the guys into my car (my mom’s 1977 Pontiac grand safari station wagon, with wood paneling!) and made the trips to Kentucky, UNC and USC that year! It was my 1st and last trip to Kentucky (thank goodness), my first trip to UNC for a spectacular 10-8 defensive struggle and my trip to USC quickly reminded me why I got out of Columbia to attend Clemson! A Sunday morning headline after that UNC game was memorably descriptive, “10-8cious!”

(On a side note: How about being the commentators at the UNC game with field goals kicked by Igwebuike for Clemson and Gwiazdowski for UNC?!!)

Going to Miami this year would be difficult at best, as all 3 of my kids will be back in school and someone has to work to make a living! However, the 12+ hour drive from Clemson was nothing to an 18 year old back in the day! So that Friday morning my roommate and I loaded up his ‘78 Camaro with signs in the windows “Miami or Bust! Go Tigers!” When I left my last class that Thursday, I told a friend of mine that maybe I’d run into him in Miami since he was going with his folks. Low and behold, our seats were right next to either other!!

As we all recall, the tone of the game was established quickly with Nebraska’s fumble on their first possession. And as with many of the season’s contests, this one too was a very physical football game, a past staple of Clemson football that I would love to see return!! In fact, if had not been for the turnovers created by the 1981 defense, the outcomes could have been very different against Tulane, NC State, UNC, Georgia and Nebraska!

My least fond memory was the fact that we had to move out of our apartment on Sunday, so we climbed back into the Camaro right after the game and drove through the night all the way back to Clemson! Something only a less than intelligent college freshman would attempt!

Happily, all survived and the memories of that great night have been etched in my Orange memory ever since! I had my VHS game tape transferred to DVD and have watched it probably 20 times over the years. Always fun listening to Jim Lampley and watching the nation take note of this orange clad football team from a small college town in Clemson, SC!

Here’s to hoping that, like our return to Miami this January 4th, we may soon find our Tigers playing again for the ultimate prize!!

PS - Miami also holds a special place in my heart, as I was born there in 1962 at Jackson Memorial Hospital. (Way back when English was still spoken!)

Thanks for all that you do for Clemson Mickey and Go Tigers!!

I read your blog today and thought you might find it interesting how I paid my way to the game. My then wife and I had just relocated to Asheville, N.C. from Washington, D.C. in February of 1981 when I took a new job as a project manager with a local construction company. I was 27 and only 3 years out of grad school at Clemson. Being young, broke and with no serious accumulation of Iptay points, my friends and I had no access to tickets. We all were calling everyone we knew to try and buy extra tickets. I then got the idea to run an ad in the Lincoln Nebraska Journal. I received only one call, from a student who had 20 tickets he could sell me for almost double the face value of $18 per ticket. We spent 3 days on the phone trying to get to know each other before we trusted each other enough to commit (me sending money, him mailing tickets).

Well, it worked out as the tickets arrived a few days after I mailed him a check. I then called all my friends to say I had their tickets. Bad news was they had all found tickets by then. I immediately placed an ad in the State and Greenville News to try and dump the tickets (I barely was able to cover the check I sent send him for the $700 it took to pay for the 20 tickets). My phone starting ringing at 7 am on the Saturday morning the ads came out. I had all 20 tickets sold by noon and, for a profit! I called the student back and asked him to send me another 25. He said ok but that the price from the various sources that he bought the others from, was going up. He kept sending tickets for 2 weeks total and I kept sending him checks until I ended up buying exactly 100 tickets and sold 96 of them prior to the game, with the last batch going for $70 each. I made about $11 profit per ticket and ended up with 4 left over tickets that I gave to 4 Cubans outside the gate.

The profit covered the cost of our 5 day trip to Florida and back with about $100 to spare. We kept the best 4 tickets for ourselves and a friend and his wife (40 yard line) and enjoyed a spectacular game. Two soon to be famous people sat right behind and right next to us. Howard Schnellenberger sat in the row behind us and won the NC as Miami's coach 2 years later with Bernie Kosar as his QB and Donna Rice (her escapade with Senator Gary Hart a then presidential candidate, on the boat Monkey Business, did not occur until 2 years later) sat to our right. She sat with my friend's ex girlfriend.

By the way, that same good friend, Bob Walters (who followed me to Clemson from Ft. Lauderdale High School as we were both architecture students) will be sitting with me at this Orange Bowl, 30 years later. This time we were able to improve our seats to the 50 yard line.
Best regards,

Ken

Although I didn’t go to the 1981 OB, I do have an interesting story about it. My family was living in Anderson at the time and a co worker’s wife was due to deliver their first child right around New Year’s day. Their OB/GYN was a huge tiger fan with tickets to the game and talked to them about allowing him to induce labor on 12/28 so she would have the baby and he could fly to Miami in time for the NC game. They agreed and both baby, mom and doctor all enjoyed New Year’s day.

Although I did not attend this game, I did want to write and tell you why it is my Clemson Football Benchmark.

I was 8 years old and in the 3rd grade. I lived in the Piedmont of NC. On January 1, 1957 my dad sat me down in front of the television and told me that, "Today, Clemson is playing football on television and I am going to teach you about football and the college that I went to." I can remember it like it was just yesterday, but it was 55 years ago. My life would never be the same again. Even though I did not attend Clemson, I have been a fan of "all things Clemson" ever since.

In the fall of 1957, my dad took me to my first Clemson football game. I have been to at least one game, and most years, almost all Clemson football games since that time. I have been a member of IPTAY and season ticket holder since the mid-70s.

Thanks for reading this and I very much enjoy and appreciate your reporting of Clemson sports and family activities.

Go Tigers!

The 1981 Orange Bowl was my honeymoon!!!
We left South Carolina in an ice storm and got to Miami the next morning. Stopped at IHOP to eat breakfast. We were dressed in sweats and hoodies. You would have thought aliens walked in the way people were looking at us...(a little overdressed for the weather) lol

I was a senior, and went to the Orange Bowl. Nebraska ha Dave Remington, Outland Trophy winner, and Mike Rozier. I had goose bumps. On the first play from scrimmage, I remember " The Judge, Jeff Davis, tackled Mike Rozier behind the line of scrimmage for a loss. I knew we were going to kick their corn fed, and hand spanked butts. I am so proud to be a 1982 Clemson Graduate, and will always bleed Orange!

Saw your OB post on TigerNet. I was a freshman at Clemson in 1981 and was at The Game. It was surreal, a sea of Orange.
Frankly, Nebraska was intimidating leading up to the game, the name alone, and we were confident, yet 'nervous'.
By far the most lasting impression was when William Devane recovered the fumble on the first series, that old concrete tomb quaked. It was so loud, the roar was unprecedented, deafening (I sat on the Hill for the Georgia game that year - right in front of Tuttle TD - OB was even louder during Devane's recovery!). We knew we could handle them after that. The biggest play I remember was crucial, more than the Tuttle TD, was the punt return, Billy Davis. The stadium mood oozed confidence - it' was there for the taking. It was crazy! What a wild ride!! For 30 years I occassionally close my eyes at the Valley and I can go back there. I was at Auburn and FSU this year and it took me back. I told my son during Auburn, it's like it was now, it's like it was for the Devane fumble recovery, I know that feeling for 30 years....
See you in Miami!

THOUGHT I WOULD SEND YOU A NOTE ABOUT MY TRIP TO THE ORANGE BOWL AT AGE ELEVEN IN '81 WITH MY PARENTS. BELOW ARE THE HIGH POINTS OF THE EXPERIENCE.

* WE TRAVELED FROM GREENWOOD COUNTY IN A CONVOY OF THREE BUSES WITH MR. BILL BURNETT'S BUS TOUR. LEAVING GREENWOOD, THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 30'S WITH FREEZING RAIN FALLING.

* IT WAS A FIRED UP CROWD AS WE PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT FOR THE ALL NIGHT BUS TRIP.

* WE STOPPED IN DAYTONA FOR BREAKFAST AND THEN PROCEEDED TO FORT LAUDERDALE JUST AFTER NOON TO 80+ DEGREE WEATHER AND BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE ON NEW YEARS EVE. SOUTHERN FLORIDA WAS COVERED IN BEAUTIFUL BLANKET OF ORANGE.

* MY DAD AND I ENJOYED THE POOL ALL DAY UNTIL TIME TO BOARD THE BUSES FOR THE GAME. THE NEBRASKA FANS CAME BY THE POOL AND INVITED US TO THEIR VICTORY PARTY AFTER THE GAME. IN TURN, MY DAD INVITED THEM TO OURS.

* THE ONLY THINGS I REMEMBER ABO0UT THE GAME ITSELF WERE: THE FEELING OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF MY TIGERS PLAYING IN THE FAMED ORANGE BOWL STADIUM WHERE THERE HAD BEEN SO MANY MEMORABLE GAMES TO INCLUDE PAST ORANGE BOWLS AND SUPER BOWLS; THE SEA OF ORANGE THAT ENGULFED THE STADIUM; AND THE EXCITEMENT AFTER THE GAME HAD ENDED.

* WE WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL AND MY DAD AND I GOT BACK INTO THE POOL WHILE MY MOM ORDERED PIZZA. SHE DID NOT GO SWIMMING BUT SAT IN THE LOUNGE CHAIR, JUST ENJOYING THE NIGHT. SURE ENOUGH, THE CORNHUSKER FANS SHOWED BACK UP AT HOTEL AND CRASHED THE TIGER CELEBRATION. ANYONE THAT WAS NOT IN THE POOL, WERE THROWN IN BY OUR OPPONENTS. MY MOM FOUGHT GETTING THROWN IN, BUT RELUCTANTLY WENT SWIMMING ANYWAY WITH HER LOUNGE CHAIR THANKS TO 4 NEBRASKA STUDENTS. SHE WAS STILL CLAD IN HER LUCKY ORANGE CLOTHING HEAD TO TOE.

THAT TRIP WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN TO MANY CLEMSON REGULAR SEASON GAMES AND NUMEROUS BOWL GAMES, BUT NONE HAVE SURPASSED THAT TRIP. I DO FEEL OPTIMISTIC OF THE FUTURE AND A RETURN TO THE TOP OF THE HEAP FOR THE TIGERS. "TIGER PRIDE" IS GOING TO TAKE OUR COACHES AND THIS TEAM TO WHERE WE ALL WANT TO BE.

I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE IN SOUTH BEACH ON THE 4TH, BUT MY HEART WILL SWELL WITH "TIGER PRIDE" AND A TEAR OF JOY WILL BE IN MY EYE AS WE TAKE THE FIELD IN OUR NEXT STEP TO GREATNESS.

At Christmas 1980, one of the gifts I received was a belt pack from my uncle. I was really disappointed at this, until I opened it up. Inside was a ticket to the game. He was taking me and my aunt on an adventure. We stopped at Kennedy Space center on the way down to Miami and did the tour. When we got to South Florida, we were at a hotel in Hollywood. It was quite a ways from the Orange Bowl and we wondered how we were going to get to the game and back as the hotel was not providing a shuttle. My uncle began to call tour bus companies in the area and was unable to find a bus to charter. He finally found a bus company out of the Jacksonville area that would do it for $500. He then set up a table in the lobby and began selling seats on the bus to the other Tiger fans. He sold out the bus in about 1 hour. Thankfully he as was able to do that as he would have been on the hook for the charter costs himself. I remember going to New Years Eve at the Fontainebleau hotel with the Tiger Band playing Tiger Rag after midnight. Our seats were directly behind the NBC camera in the end zone, so we had great looks at all the action. As we were leaving after the Tiger’s win, I remember feeling like I had witnessed something special. My uncle died last year, but we shared this memory together every time we got together. The story was even mentioned by the pastor at his funeral. I miss my uncle and will never forget the special trip he gave me when I was 13.

I may be in Alaska now, as my job took me up here. But I will be in front of the TV on January 4th, wishing I could be there in Florida with my uncle once again cheering on the Tigers.

GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was commanding an Infantry battalion at Fort Benning, Georgia, when Clemson played for the national championship. My wife and I drove to Miami and went to the game. Nebraska had a good team and was only a TD behind. The clock kept creeping along and we were worried that the Huskers would get a break and win the game. What a great feeling it was when the clock showed 00:00!

I was 8 years old when I went to the OB in 1981. I didn't think I would get to go. My dad, a huge Clemson fan, wasn't planning to go. I didn't understand why we weren't going. (Now I realize it was because he and my mom were going through a divorce at the time.) Then, on the Wednesday two nights before the game, I was at Wednesday night church supper with my parents and my dad told me he got a ticket to the game and was going. My mom had talked to some Clemson students at our church and my dad was going to ride down with them, stay in a hotel in Fort Lauderdale, and then somehow catch a ride to the game with some other Clemson friends.

I cried as much as an 8 year-old boy could cry because I wanted to go to. My dad tried everything to go without me. He offered me an Atari 2600 (since I hadn't gotten one for Christmas). But nothing worked. I finally won the showdown and my dad agreed to take me.

So at 3 AM Thursday morning, the two Clemson students picked us up in the pouring rain. It was about 35 degrees. They drove an old Honda or Datsun or something -- a tiny 1970s car. My dad stretched across the backseat and slept, and I sat on top of him. By the time we got to Jacksonville it had warmed to the 60s, and by that afternoon I was
swimming in a pool in Pompano Beach.

A lot of my other memories are a blur. I remember visiting some Clemson friends at Miami Beach on New Year's Day and going in the ocean; I remember taking a taxi from Miami Beach to the bowl game; and I remember some Hare Krishnas outside the Orange Bowl giving me some popcorn (my dad threw it away). We sat in the upper deck end zone in the middle of thousands of Clemson fans, but there was one nice and nicely obnoxious Nebraska fan a few rows behind us. He told us to watch out for Irving Fryar; my dad told him to watch out for our whole team.

I remember going out to an all-night restaurant after the game and everyone was so excited.

And I remember driving home (with a different group of Clemson fans) and I-95 being very backed up.

One other funny story. My aunt wanted to go to the game with my dad, but he told her that he wasn't going. So after we won, my aunt called our house in Columbia to celebrate. Her reaction to the news that we had gone to the game without her is still a family legend.

Unfortunately, I won't be going to this Orange Bowl this year. Work and school get in the way of a midweek game after New Year's Day. It's a shame how the old bowl system has been changed so much by ESPN.

Those are incredible stories. If you can't get fired up about this game, then there is just something wrong with you. GO TIGERS!
