96 Seasons Ago Clemson Football Finished 8-3 in 1929

In its third year, the Josh Cody era almost comes to an end. Fortunately, Cody’s time at Clemson is extended thanks to Clemson showing Cody a lot of love (and a new car didn’t hurt as well).
Overview:
According to Wikipedia:
“The 1929 Clemson Tigers football team represented Clemson College—now known as Clemson University—as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon) during the 1929 college football season. Led by second-year head coach Josh Cody, the Tigers compiled an overall record of 8–3 with a mark of 3–2 in conference play, placing 12th in the SoCon.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Clemson_Tigers_football_team
Head Coach Josh Cody:
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Cody)
Worthy of Note:
According to ClemsonTigers.com:
May 6, 1929 – Josh Cody, Clemson head coach, was presented with a new automobile that afternoon as a gift from alumni, faculty, students and friends of the college. A special collection was taken up to purchase the new Buick. The presentation ceremony was staged in front of Tillman Hall.
https://clemsontigers.com/clemson-football-historical-timeline/
Another ClemsonTigers.com article offers additional insight into this well deserved gift:
He was nicknamed “Big Man” because of his large stature. According to one account, when he was seen on campus and the name “Big Man” was yelled, he would turn and wave and smile the largest grin. He loved and respected the students at Clemson, and they loved him. This probably was best exemplified when it was rumored he was leaving after three years at Clemson. To show their appreciation for his fine record (including a then-3-0 mark against South Carolina), the students, faculty, and staff acted quickly and took up a collection to buy him a brand-new black Buick, and presented him this new car in front of the steps at Tillman Hall on May 6, 1929. He would stay for one more year after this kind gesture.
https://clemsontigers.com/josh-cody-big-man-on-campus/
Smart move to keep Cody as long as possible, Clemson Nation!
Results:
September 21 Newberry* W 68–0
September 28 vs. Davidson* W 32–14
October 5 Auburn W 26–7
October 11 vs. NC State (Florence) W 26–0
October 18 at Wofford* W 30–0
October 24 at South Carolina W 21–14
November 2 at Kentucky L 6–44
November 9 vs. VMI (Norfolk) L 0–12
November 16 at Florida L 7–13
November 23 The Citadel* W 13–0
November 28 Furman* W 7–6
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Clemson_Tigers_football_team
With yet another win over the Gamechickens, Clemson’s record in the series against the Chickens improved to 18-8-1. Chickens fans had to have been wishing that Coach Cody had turned down the Buick and chosen to have left Clemson! FWIW: Its been a century now and Clemson Football Head Coach Josh Cody still hasn’t lost to the Gamechickens!
1929 Clemson Football:
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Clemson_Tigers_football_team)
Also in 1929:
According to Wikipedia, Coach Cody had a big season as Clemson’s basketball coach as well:
“Josh Cody coached for five seasons, the longest tenure for a Clemson Basketball coach in the first 25 years. In 1928–29, the Tigers won 15 games, a school record, and then followed that with a 16–9 mark.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clemson_Tigers_men%27s_basketball
And - also in 1929:
- Upstate SC roads were paved!
- But a month later the country (and the world) was thrown into financial chaos!
According to ClemsonWiki:
“September 19: Paved highway between Greenville and Clemson opens for the first time, according to a letter from state highway department officials to the director of athletics, James G. Gee, reported in The Tiger. "At that time, a continuous ribbon of pavement and surface treated road will stretch from Clemson to Washington. For the benefit of football followers down state Highway No. 24 provides a route from Columbia which is paved throughout except for a short stretch between Honea Path and Greenwood."
“October 24-October 29: The Great Stock Market Crash leads the United States and the world into the decade-long Great Depression. The Greenville News calls it "the most terrifying stampede of selling ever experienced on the New York Stock Exchange and other leading securities markets."
https://clemsonwiki.com/wiki/1929
As for the Stock Market Crash – Things got ugly very quickly!!:
“The Wall Street crash of 1929, also known as the Great Crash, was a major stock market crash in the United States which began in October 1929 with a sharp decline in prices on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It triggered a rapid erosion of confidence in the U.S. banking system and marked the beginning of the worldwide Great Depression that lasted until 1939, making it the most devastating crash in the country's history. It is most associated with October 24, 1929, known as "Black Thursday", when a record 12.9 million shares were traded on the exchange, and October 29, 1929, or "Black Tuesday", when some 16.4 million shares were traded.”

Wish they would pave that stretch between Honea Path and Greenwood now- one stretch is more patches than original pavement!
