Worst loss you've ever seen in Death Valley
Aug 15, 2012, 6:55 PM
|
|
Mine has to be the GT game where we blew it in the last minute. I remember me and my buddy getting up to leave and all of a sudden we couldn't pick up a first down, well we all knew what happened after that. That ruined my whole week and I just went to bed instead of partying. I remember celebrating going down the stands and then had to turn around and sit down to see the worst collapse of my life. Then we almost broke the last KO for a TD, but got tripped up. That is the only game that still sticks with me.

So true! At night in the Valley! Given what we had in our hands (championship) that really, really hurt. BC pulled a great play on us.

not only was it raining and just a bad performance, two older "know it alls" kept giving the OL a hard time. A hard time to the point that it was getting personal.

Still have nightmares about Al Clark from VT. As for the other one, it was the first Bowden Bowl I believe and the stadium was electric. We had the lead until late if memory serves.

It was bad. Weird that I sat on the hill and there was plenty of room around us to have held a touch football game in the stands. Definitely the low point of clemson football during my lifetime, and I wad a freshman there. Interestingly enough I the watched our meteoric rise to #3 in the polls a mere couple of years later only to have a great view of weinke's play action pass out of the endzone that pretty much demolished the season (until the catch II, which also happened right in front of me).

SC 2010 or TCU 2009 are the only games we lost when I've been at the valley. So I would have to go with SC 2010 just because of the rivalry, but if memory serves me correctly TCU did beat us by 4 and one of their TD's did come off of a tipped pass on 3rd and long.

The TCU game a few years back.That one sucked who was it that dropped the winning TD late in the 4th.The 2 inches of rain that fell in the second half didn't help either.

Worst loss was by Carolina to Clemson in 1976

Carolina was highly ranked and came in against a 2-6-2 Clemson team. Clemson beat the coots like a dusty throw rug: 28-9. How do you like that memory?

years old. I can't remember many highlights but I can remember Matt Ryan scrambling for what seemed like minutes on 3rd down to throw a wide open bomb to some guy late in the game. And I remember Kelly being wide open only to drop the wide open winner. My Dad lifted me up to start to celebrate only to drop me down in disbelief as the entire crowd went from screaming to silent... I went and sat on the brick wall outside the southeast gate and cried for half an hour and watched every fan walk by me in shock and sadness.
Other games have been bad enough to be really disappointing, but never have I witnessed such a heart-breaking home loss.

I remember alot of people slipping and falling down when they were trying to get to the top. I think Parker overthrew either jacoby for xavier in the end zone on the last play. I remember cursing like crazy after that happened.

2003 UGA:
1. The temperature was ungodly hot! 2. I had a 101 degree temperature and I was in the marching band with the hot wool uniform 3. We got blown out 30-0
Overall just a terrible game for everybody involved. My nephew who attended the game was really young at the time. The quote I will remember from him was "they just keep getting zero"
I can't wait for the 2013 game to hopefully avenge that loss! As Always...GO TIGERS!!!

Worst loss, probably UNC homecoming implosion.
The biggest "how did we lose that?" Probably TCU. One of those games that it always felt like we had to score and win. I knew they were a decent to good team, but the whole day felt like one of those "we'll win ugly" sort of games. Just never happened.

FSU - Puntrooskie
Aug 15, 2012, 7:54 PM
|

Don't remember the year, but it was when Dion Sanders was at FSU. We had them backed up ... 4th down on their own 1 yard line, and Bowden called the puntrooskie with Prime Time who went 98 yards to our 1 yard line. They scored the winning TD on the next play. I had to have sharp objects taken away from me for weeks.

It was colder than a witches titty with a brass bra when we played BC. The wind was killer in the upper deck too. When Kelly dropped the pass my gut just sank and didn't come up for a few days.

Clemson/Carolina in 1968 in the Valley: a close friend
Aug 15, 2012, 8:29 PM
|
|
from home who happened to be at USC brought a date and met me prior to the game, and I ran my mouth non-stop about how we were going to stomp them. We lost 7-3. After the game my friends (unbelievably) never said a word, which only made me madder. I still get irate about it after all these years. The other was the Clemson/FSU "Puntrooskie," which left me stunned and sickened, as I thought we had the game won. I let loose with a string of profanities that I probably couldn't repeat today if my life depended on it. LOL

That was a miserable, cold rainy day. Ken Hatfield had just run the Clemson football machine into the ground, and capped that off with the most pitiful excuse for a football game I have ever seen, losing to a bad Wake team 13-10 at home. Oh, the second consecutive loss to Wake Forest. It was a performance Tommy Bowden would have been ashamed of.

'07 BC and '10 SCar.

07 was the worst. I got married in October and took my wife to her first Clemson game with the last of the cash we got as a wedding gift. Our seats were on the south side on the goal line opposite the hill. I think I might have been the last person in the stadium to realize that Kelly dropped that pass. I was devastated. It was my wife's first experience with post catastrophic loss me. If she had experienced my mood 6 weeks earlier I may have still been single today.
Oh, and there was some ####### BC fan on the front row with a ridiculous hat on that still pisses me off to this day, I can't even describe the hat, but it was huge and ugly and I hated him for it.

One freakin yard short...i'm uneasy...we roll the ball on the ground...I we're screwed..a mere moments later, Calvin Johnson happened. Definitely the worst. I just looked up the box score and we went up 10 after a Kyle Browning long TD run with 3:18 left in the game. #### I hate GT.

Maryland 1985.
1) Md o-lineman false started 2) play clock expired for a good 5-6 seconds 3) pass went thru Md receiver's hands and refs still signaled a TD.
That game still makes me mad.

SC 2010 Because i drove 5 hours

With student tickets. My gf went to school at clemson and wasn't in town for that week. She gave me 2 student tickets and said "oh don't worry they wont ask for ID." So me and a friend drove up there, almost getting into 2 fights with coots at a taco bell along the way. Got to the game, walk to the student section, get to the gate and the guy says "can I see your ID?" so we left and went to the gate to try and buy tickets but they were sold out. Ended up standing at the top of the hill trying to see the game. Couldn't se e so we Left and went to bar, but it was nothing but coots in there. Stayed for the first half and it was absolutely miserable. Coot fans every wear and were going crazy just when the got a firat down. Left after halftime and listened to it on the radio on the way back to MB. It was horrible. Worst game ever.

Losing to Wake Forest in the rain Tommy West last season whatever year that was. I was sitting in the rain watching their D line blow past our offense like we were a JV team. Not pretty.

I have never understood why that happened. TB never explained it and Reggie had too much class to raise heck about it. Totally stupid move when we had momentum going.

I can handle losing on botched snaps, interceptions, fumbles or whatever, but that bonehead sub decision was intolerable.

I posted earlier it was Tommy West, wrong it was Ken Hatfield's last year 1993 to Wake in the rain, total dominance by their D line. They just lined up and blew past our guys at will. I was one of about 20,000 still in the stands at the end of that performance.

gut-wrenching losses or the horrible blowouts. Personally, I'm leaning towards the blowouts.
2002 NCSU 38-6 on Thursday night. I remember being so pumped up to be hosting a Thursday night game. I got out of class at 11am, met a bunch of my friends over at the Brooks Center and tailgated all day until kickoff. I even had some buddies from Charleston drive up for the game.
And then we just got absolutely humiliated by Chuckie the Clown and co. I can still close my eyes and see TA Mclendon hurdle the line on 4th and short and run 50 yards untouched.
The 38-3 homecoming loss the year before to Peppers and UNC was awful too, but i was too sick to go and had to watch it on TV from the dorm room. The game obviously didn't make me feel any better.

I'm going to go with blowouts.
Two come to mind. The UGA shutout and State on thursday night.
Because of the miserable heat and the fact that nothing positive came out of the game, i'll go with UGA.
I was at least able to take something from the State game and that was the fact that Justin Miller was the real deal. He was the only Tiger that looked like he hadn't given up when he returned that kick for the TD.
