Players were locked in, all business, completely focused.
Huge game against Maryland for "ACC Championship" even though technically we were on probation.

I guess your position is “What’s wrong with some dead birds?”

That’s right. And the “Orange Crush” defense took roll call as they got up off the ball carrier: everyone wanted to be in on making the stop. No sloppy tackling on Coach Ford’s teams.
God, I miss Danny Ford.

It was on the 20 yard line lower deck south by the locker rooms with my mom that day. That Clemson defense beat Boomer (That Boomer- NFL HOF) DOWN. It was a big deal to be on national TV back then and both teams were highly ranked- that stadium rocked like thunder. I even remember the score -52 to 27 I think.
Those Clemson defenders in 1983 were some BAD DUDES. So were the three running backs - Mack and Driver and Kenny Fkowers - I can still see Flowers going about 40 yards down the sideline after breaking a coupla’ tackles for a long TD…Those guys were a different level of mean.

That almost sent the sea turtles to extinction!
I do like the white goalpost rather than those ugly flo-recesent yellar ones we have now.

Notice how Danny wanted it to be about the players, not him.

He kneeled to the side to let players go first, and made sure he was not the first one down the hill.

I like the balloons. I like that players are at the center. Like the jog down

by Danny. Like the real band sound and no over-powering speakers. Does all that make me old?

I was on the Hill that day! Perfect fall day for football and we curb stomped Boomer and the Twerps.
