through my time at Clemson with, through young adulthood, and beyond. The state of South Carolina was blessed back then by TWO all time greats, Jim Phillips for the Tigers, and Bob Fulton for the Gamecocks. We shall not see their like again.

So talented. The result of doing radio instead of TV, where you had to "paint the picture"

Never thought about that but makes great sense. Often wondered why older voices were so much better and exciting to listen too.

I agree Jim Phillips will always be the voice of the Tigers! He was the best! Miss him on Saturdays down south!

I agree waterboyII!
I have seen this posted before. Here is the video of Jim Phillips' voice as if he were calling the glorious Watson to Renfrow play that sealed the championship:

It is nice tribute to a Clemson legend!
Forever the voice of the Tigers!!

outside doing yardwork with a transistor radio, I listened to Jim Phillips every football Saturday and every basketball game also! His excitement and ability to bring the game right to me, would have me jumping and running all over the yard with joy! There will NEVER be another "Voice of The Clemson Tigers" to take his place! "THE KICK IS UP,.........THE KICK IS.........GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!"

Great man and “The All Time Voice of the Tigers” for sure. Brings back memories of my dad and me listening to basketball. Week night games were listened to in his bedroom in case he fell asleep. Tuned in on the flip number clock radio. Football, we listened anywhere the radio would come in but had to stay in signal range that day. Simpler times that I’m glad I got to be a part of.

I remember from back when he was the sports director
on WFBC in Greenville.I still have an old 8 track tape
of him calling the bowl game game between OSU and
Clemson when old Woody punched one of our players.
I'll never forget that voice...none can compare.

was good, and the guy from georgia was also a good one. I can't remember his name, but I think maybe it was Munson. However; none were greater than Jim Phillips. Hey Striper, did you ever think about getting into broadcasting?

Whitehurst led the team right down the field for a TD. Bob hadn't called a game in 9 years, and did a great job. Like riding a bike. One of my favorite memories of that was all the fans in front of the radio booth watching Bob the entire drive with their radios on, smiles on their faces as they watched and listened to him call a game for Clemson. Bob was a great guy
