“Things will never be the same again at Clemson


Dec 26, 2021, 8:08 AM

for a very long time” If you think this refers to the upheaval we have witnessed this year in Tiger football, think again. It was written in the Tiger newspaper the year the class of 1944 returned from war. Or at least those lucky enough to survive. The losses from that class alone were shocking. So use that as a measuring stick when deciding how bad this season and coaching changes has been.

A bad season is a relative term. With all the injuries and other personnel losses, I believe we had a really good season and can have another 10 win, great season when we beat Iowa State.

That was a very somber thought! Always be thankful for what they gave, as they gave the ultimate sacrifice.

For a second, I thought you were going to say that was the last time DirtPeckers, had a good team!

aTm, West Point, and Clemson are the top 3 sending graduates to fight in WWII in that order. Clemson had the most officers KIA of all the military institutions. This explains why aTm are a bit of our soul mates.

We had several stationed in the Pacific

at the start of WW2. Of course, Gen Skardon was one, in the Philippines, and there was another who wrote a book about his, Manny Lawton, "Some Survived". There was also a Major, I believe, who was on Wake Island - the only time in WW2 a Japanese amphibious assault was successfully repelled. All 3 lived out the war as POWs. I can't remember his name, but his story is referenced in "Wake Island: Alamo of the Pacific", another excellent book. I definitely recommend both. Too bad Gen Skardon never had a book written about his and his friend's experiences.
