Rank your top 3 Clemson games that you've attended

3. GT the day that GameDay was there. The electricity in that stadium.....my God. Watched with my wife.
2. ACCCG win over VT also with the wifie. Man alive was that a good game. VT fan turns to me and says "We need 4 touchdowns...to tie!" He's so tall tho...
1. Orange Bowl with father-in-law. Sat in the Ohio State section and had club seats. Man, my voice was messed up for days. Amazing win.
#1 game I wish I could have attended is a tie between win over UGA last year and win over LSU the previous.

#1: 2013 UGA- amazing atmosphere, awesome win
#2: 2003 UVA- Youngblood beat the Cavs in OT
#3: 2012 GT- Between the reverse pass from Nuk to Tajh and the big safety to help clinch the win, it was a good one
Other good ones: 2003 @ GT: laying and ### whipping on the Nerds in purple, 2007 Wake: Needed the win to set up show down with BC for the division the next week, so the atmosphere was amazing. Spiller ran a punt back and leaped into the student section.
I haven't been to as many as some of y'all, so my list may not be as impressive. Now that I'm a student, I'm adding more to the list each year

'04 Clemson vs Sakerlina (obvious, the fight was a surreal thing to see)
'07 Clemson vs. FSU - a lot of expectations with Thunder and Lightning. Not the best game from a football standpoint, but it was nice to be in DV for the opener against a rival. Got a little close for comfort in the 4th Q
'11 Clemson vs. Auburn - Tajh Boyd's coming out party and IMO the rebirth of Clemson football
I would replace the latter 2 with '07 BC (Aaron Kelly drop) and '06 South Carolina (Jad Dean shank) had we won those games. I still think that BC game was the loudest I've heard it in DV (didn't attend Miami game) - possibly because it was a night game and we had ACC title hopes on the line.
I'd also put the 1st and 35 game up there as I remember getting into a drunken brawl with some Coots out at the fairgrounds before the game - but it was in Columbia so that doesn't count.

Yes ... the 13-9 win in Columbia did not make my top three either - maybe 4th. It was a fascinating game.

3. Win over LSU in the Chick-fil-A bowl
2. Win over Ohio State in the Orange Bowl
1. Win over FSU in '09
One of the most memorable wins over South Carolina was, I believe in 2002, but I'm not sure of the year. It was a home game, at night, freezing cold. Scored late in the fourth quarter.

one not mentioned but one of the best college games ever. 78 Cu at Md for ACC championship. CU wins 28 -24 in a see saw game that had everything including a 96 yard td by MD.
In that era Md was a conf power. Was CU's first ACC championship in 10 or 12 years. And on my birthday I think

'06 Tallahassee, '06 GT Gameday, '92/96 Charlottesville
May 15, 2014, 11:02 PM
|

Being in Tally for the first win there in a long time was a lot of fun. About passed out from the hot air under the endzone boxes (literally an oven in that spot) but it was worth it.
2006 Gameday was awesome all around.
1992 & 1996 wins in Charlottesville were both alot of fun and remember them like yesterday. Both were pretty big wins at the time. The comeback in 92 and seeing Stacey Seegars doing cartwheels and Kelton Dunnican's long TD run in 96 are burned in my memory.

was my first time being around a crowd after 9/11. Clemson lost 27-24 by giving up a TD with one second left on the clock, but the unity of 80,000 cheering Tiger faithful was what I needed to wash over my soul and help remember the goodness in the world... I was 22 with a kid on the way and the world felt bleak and daunting. I'm forever grateful for that day in the Valley.
Peach Bowl against Tenn. It was just fun.

I'll go in a different direction and say
1) 03 Peach Bowl vs. UT- Supposedly we didn't belong and they were Far better. As you recall, we crushed em.
2) 97 @ NCSU- Close game that came down to a late CU FG. Guess ya had to be there. Great QB duel.
3) 95 @ scar- I'll never forget Emory Smith dragging a coot defender several yards downfield on that huge run. Priceless. A 38-17 win, I believe.
Honorable mention: 91 HofF Bowl vs Illinois, a 30-0 Clemson win. Good day to be a Clemson fan.
96 @ UVA- Great game. If you saw it, you'll remember Kelton Dunnigan's long run. Poor weather but we won in great fashion.

1. GT at Clemson college gameday. CJ broke down the whole GT defense on one play
2. Scar at Clemson Rod Gardner catch
3. UGa at Clemson this past year
Even though we lost, one of my favorite games ever was Joe Hamilton and Woody dueling it out in the Valley. GT won, but both teams put on a show. We had Nick Eason, Bryant McNeal, Keith Adams. Those were fun years too

I can't give you 3, so you get 4....
May 16, 2014, 2:24 AM

4. 1976 Clemson vs. South Carolina...The heavy underdogs play the Jedi Mind Trick on South Carolina before there was a Star Wars. Clemson team does not show up until kickoff, running down the hill, and getting a 5 yard delay of game penalty before the game begins. The Tigers run up and down the field all day on the chickens, knocking them out of a bowl game.
3. 1987 Clemson vs. UGA...Unbelievable comeback, and I've never heard Death Valley any louder than before and during the late game safety on QB James Johnson.
2. 1981 Clemson vs. UGA...The springboard to the national championship.
1. 1981 Orange Bowl...To this day, still my best road trip and best football memory.
Yeah, I'm old school, and ###### proud of it.

There was live hitting by us on old soccer field before we ran down the hill to try and have a better start. This game was Fuller's coming out party. I remember long run by Ratchford right up the gut.

Didn't go to the OB (Well i did, but the wrong one -_-)...
My third would be a tie between the Miami Overtime game just because it was so crazy loud, and the FSU game 2 years ago, when the defense sacked trickett to get the win.

3. Sat in FSU student section with 1 other Tiger. Got cussed at, had ice thrown at us, BUT we kicked their butts, and the coeds around us were nice
