camping out for tickets. That was one the most fun things I experienced at college. I remember stealing seat cushions from my couch at The Reserve to have something to sleep on. Camping out with 1000 friends. And wondering how that white kid with the dreads always got in the front of the line. I am sure you guys that went to Clemson from 2005-2009 remember the student with the dreads. He was always there. It never failed.

call my buddies and tell them no one was out there yet. Go to class at Tillman. Walk back and there he was. He was like the student with the crazy mohawk this year. He was always on camera. I can picture him now with that 10XL Basketball jersey right on the floor for basketball too.
There are 2 people I remember most from my tenure.
1. Dread guy
2. Annoying piccolo girl

Now I certainly would have welcomed not camping out for tickets but it is also one of the things I remember fondly from my days at Clemson (most of the time when I say that people look at me like I'm crazy though). We camped out at the bottom of the Library (and occasionally at Littlejohn). Not a whole lot of tents since the buildings provided a "roof". Was a lot of fun.
This was back in the dark ages of the late 80s. Someone would usually bring a TV (commence the dance of the rabbit ear antennas) or games/cards were always popular. I (and everyone else) would always bring books but in the end never actually did a whole lot of studying.

T-Net used to trash him saying his look was "a bad representation of Clemson" and other assorted dumb a comments about the kid.

The guy with the blond dreads (Justin) is my son. His friend Alex had the brown dreads. Justin has been to every game since as a Clemson graduate and yes he still has dreads. He was always able to get the front row because he camped out 3 days. He won fan contest for the most votes and won $1,000 back then and donated it to the West Zone. Go Tigers!

their years at Clemson when a-holes on here would disparage them getting TV time because a yuppie looking Clemson is the right Clemson image.

I don't know why people would say those things. I didn't know them personally, but I know their blood ran orange. I love my school but I don't think I could have donated $1000 to the WEZ as a student. That would have bought a lot of Ramen noodles for me. Glad to hear he did that though.
