Periodic Table Countdown! Join us as we count our way down to Hydrogen and the kick off of Clemson Football 2025!



Element 69 is Thulium, which has the chemical symbol Tm.


Thulium is a silvery-gray metal with atomic number 69 and symbol Tm. It is the second-least abundant lanthanide in the Earth's crust and has various applications in lasers and X-ray devices.

Thulium was not used in the production of the handheld electronic fishing game:

Todays player spotlight is #69 Dominic Cardone. He is a redshirt junior offensive lineman for the 2025 Clemson Tigers.

He “Joined Clemson as a walk-on in the 2024 offseason and played one offensive snap in his debut season.”. He is both the tallest (6-foot-9) and heaviest (365 pounds) player on the 2025 roster.

He “Lettered at Riverside High School in Greer, S.C. … scored a touchdown on a one-yard run against Southside in his senior season in 2021.”.

I wish I could post more info about Dominic but unfortunately I couldn’t find much on him. Hopefully he has more playing time this year but I doubt it with how good our starters are.

Here is his bio: https://clemsontigers.com/sports/football/roster/season/2025/dominic-cardone/

Here is his Hudl profile: https://www.hudl.com/profile/12677165/Dom-Cardone

69 Seasons Ago Clemson Football Finished 7-2-2 in 1956

69 Seasons Ago Clemson Football Finished 7-2-2 in 1956

After allowing co-eds into school the previous year, Clemson’s record continues to improve. Now the Tigers go back to a major bowl game! It was Clemson’s first nationally televised game. Additionally, a U.S. Vice President attends one of Clemson’s games.

Oh - And a “Spring Prank” goes quite badly!


Overview:

According to Wikipedia:

“The 1956 Clemson Tigers football team was an American football team that represented Clemson College in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 1956 college football season. In its 17th season under head coach Frank Howard, the team compiled a 7–2–2 record (4–0–1 against conference opponents), won the ACC championship, was ranked No. 19 in the final AP Poll, lost to Colorado in the 1957 Orange Bowl, and outscored all opponents by a total of 167 to 101.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Clemson_Tigers_football_team


Worthy of Note:

According to ClemsonWiki:

“October 25: Clemson, ranked number 20, downs South Carolina, 7-0, in Columbia. The Tigers never throw a pass the entire game.”

https://clemsonwiki.com/wiki/1956

According to ClemsonTigers.com:

“Nov. 16, 1956 – Vice President Richard Nixon was in attendance at the Clemson-Miami football game on this date. Surrounded by security from various agencies, a loud explosion sounded and alarmed the body guard along with the Vice President. To everyone’s relief, it was discovered that it was just the cannon fired off by a Clemson cheerleader when Clemson kicked off. The eighth-ranked Hurricanes defeated the Tigers 21-0 in the game played at Miami, Fla.

Nov. 24, 1956 – The Tigers defeated Virginia 7-0 at Clemson to clinch their first ACC championship.

Dec. 1, 1956 – Clemson clinched an Orange Bowl berth with a 28-7 win over Furman at Clemson.”

https://clemsontigers.com/clemson-football-historical-timeline/

According to Wikipedia:

“Quarterback Charlie Bussey was the team captain. The team's statistical leaders included Bussey with 330 passing yards and left halfback Joel Wells with 803 rushing yards and 48 points (8 touchdowns).

Four Clemson players were selected by the Associated Press or the United Press to the first or second teams of the 1956 All-Atlantic Coast Conference football team: Joel Wells (AP-1, UP-1); Charlie Bussey (AP-1, UP-2); guard John Grdijan (AP-2, UP-1); and tackle #### Maraza (AP-2). Four Clemson players were also named to the 1956 All-South Carolina football team: Joel Wells, guards John Grdijan and Earle Greene, and tackle Billy Hudson.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Clemson_Tigers_football_team


As for Clemson QB Charlie Bussey:

“Bussey was named an Academic All-American off the field and was an honorable mention All-American on the field as a senior. He was named academic All-ACC for the second straight year and was second-team All-ACC on the field, the first Clemson quarterback to make an All-ACC team. He led Clemson’s 1956 team in passing, punting and interceptions, a combination no Clemson football player has duplicated since.



Bussey retired and returned to Clemson in 1997. Soon after he became the Executive Director of Clemson’s Lettermen’s Association, a position he held for 14 years.

As part of his duties as head of the Lettermen’s Association, Bussey supervised the induction process for the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame. He had already been inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1988. In 2003, Bussey was honored by the Clemson Alumni Association when he was presented with the Distinguished Service Award.

During his retirement he was a strong advocate for the Clemson LIFE Program.”

From: https://clemsontigers.com/charlie-bussey-1950s-fb-star/


And regarding that Orange Bowl game:

According to ClemsonWiki:

“January 1: The Clemson Tigers face the Colorado Buffaloes for the first time in the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, losing 21-27 for a 7-1-3 season record. Attendence is given as 73,280. … This is also Clemson's first televised football game, aired on CBS. The Tigers are ranked nineteenth.”

https://clemsonwiki.com/wiki/1957


January 1, 1957 Orange Bowl:

From: https://www.ebay.com/itm/263496715096


Results:

September 22: Presbyterian* W 27–7
September 29: at No. 19 Florida* T 20–20
October 6: at NC State W 13–7
October 13: at Wake Forest W 17–0
October 25: at South Carolina No. 20 W 7–0
November 3: No. 16 VPI* No. 13 W 21–6
November 10: at Maryland No. 11 T 6–6
November 16: at No. 8 Miami (FL)* No. 13 L 0–21
November 24: Virginia W 7–0
December 1: Furman* W 28–7
January 1, 1957: vs. No. 20 Colorado* (Orange Bowl) No. 19 L 21–27

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Clemson_Tigers_football_team

Clemson’s win over the Gamechickens now gives Clemson a 31-20-3 record in the series.


Also in 1956:

According to ClemsonWiki:

“In a spring prank, Rats lead a dairy cow up into the steeple of Tillman Hall. Unfortunately, cows will not go down stairs and the poor beast is put down in the bell tower and the body taken down the staircase.



December 11: The Clemson basketball team beats its first ranked team, a 96-94 overtime win against eighth-ranked North Carolina State, played at home. This was Coach Press Maravich's first year at Clemson.”
