All this Tenn. butthurt reminds us old farts of

the 1976 game Clemson played against the Viles in Knoxville. The Tigers were cheated badly by their hosts and despite the Tigers protests and the NCAA's concurrence that Tennessee had in fact violated the rules, absolutely nothing was done.

The main play in question was a Tenn. pass play. Easley's own Stanley Morgan and another player ran off the field as one substitute ran to their huddle. Just as soon as the Clemson defender on that side of the field took a different position, Morgan surreptitiously stepped one foot back into the field of play....at the snap, the Tenn QB simply turned and threw the ball to the unguarded Morgan who promptly scampered for the touchdown that proved to be the deciding points in the game.

Despite the relative proximity of the schools, Clemson has NEVER scheduled another game in Knoxville..and I, for one, hope they never do....the Chick-fil-A Bowl was reminder enough of poor sportsmanship behavior by their fans...also served as a reminder the Viles football program is middle of the pack in the pathetic SECLeast

That was not nearly the sum of it. Red Parker protested the illegal play and was penalized 45 yards on one play, a record for games of my witness. Despite a totally homer one sided officiated game for the rest of the game, as if they had not hosed us enough, the Tigers fought back and lost by missed conversions,something like 21-19. Never seen anything like the homerism in Obnoxville even in chickentown. Remember they chickened out of a trip to CU because we beat them out of recruits, and they turned us in and thus the early 1980s probation. They, of course, deserve much worse for every year ten years before and since, but of course they are in the unapproachable S SHE SHE.

I say the heck with it, we owe them. Let's play them anywhere and kick their ###.

I deeply apologize for the typo, there, bud....

We played them in Knox in 74 and in 76 ... cheated us twice

Re: All this Tenn. butthurt reminds us old farts of

Two games were played in Knoxville...

Would love to kick their hillbilly ### in Death Valley!***

I was there.

Don Testerman, up the middle, to the house.

I'll never forget Duanne Coleman slapping the Tennessee guy.

+1 LOL! Exactly my first thought of regarding Tenn!
