The best thing that ever happened to Clemson Football.......

Was against Wake Forest and that prime time game on a Thursday night on ESPN, when Tammy lost, and ended that era of our football history! That was my junior year at Clemson..I remember that game like yesterday, and that was the one that did him in, and what lead, to what we see 10 years later, and a National Championship!! Thanks for the memories, TB, but these are so much sweeter!!

Yep. I think that was my Freshman or Sophomore year. I think the final score was 13-10??? Dabo was inevitable at that point...

Well, I meant that in a cause and a effect kind of way, cause that lead to our championship...just imagine if we still had same coach....I guess should have re-worded that to the best thing to happen for the future of our program, you kno whad I mean ?!

I was at that terrible 1997 Gator Bowl where we just got drubbed. Worst loss I had ever seen Clemson take till the WVA debacle. I told a friend after that Syracuse beat down "I think this is a bad omen...we might be in for some rough years ahead." He said "eh, we'll bounce right back, no big deal" Twenty one years later and we have definitely bounced back. Dabo changed the course after WVA. Too bad we didn't change it enough after Syracuse. But we are at the pinnacle now!

There were several games like that...

that ultimately led to the ruination of Tommy Bowden.
The 30 - 0 loss to Georgia in 2003
The 45 - 17 loss to Wake Forest in 2003
The 16 - 13 loss to Duke in 2004 a week after beating Miami.
The 31 - 28 loss to South Carolina in 2006
The 28 - 20 loss to Kentucky in the 2006 Music City Bowl. We had CJ Spiller and James Davis going against the worst rush defense in college football and Bowden chose to run the ball a whopping 13 times all night and throw the ball over 40 times.
There were certainly others but the 06 Music City Bowl is the game that did it for me.

The 30-0 loss... my first game as a student
SOOOOO HOOOOOOOTTTTTTT that day.
Also i was at all but one of those 2003 Wake.
Watching Duke students come IN the stadium after the final whistle because they werent even at the game was a very big low point.

That chilly windy day at Duke...

I swear the wind picked-up at least 10 MPH prior to that last FG attempt.

It's what we were for the 2016 football season! I was just stating my opinion on what the best move was that LEAD to where we are now. That's all this post was intended for, not any harm.

To each his own, just glad he isn't here anymore. Agreed?
