GoTiGERs!

Personally, I'd love to see Furman replace our intrasquad spring game! Would be very interesting.

The first jerseys were black and gold, but when washed became orange and purple.

And wore belts. And cars didn't have stereos yet so there was no "thumping."
Those were the days.....

Vegas had us a 17-point dog in that game...

But since no one knew where Vegas was in 1896, it didn't really matter.

I got my information regarding the first colors on the football jerseys from the little book given to us at the beginning of the freshmen semester, known then as "Rat Season". In addition to getting a haircut similar to "boot camp" for the army we wore orange beanies called "rat hats". We were required to memorize the contents of the little book and be prepared to answer questions from the upper classmen on its contents.
Funny how some of that information has stuck in my brain better than stuff taught in my classes!

Has a history of Clemson Football in it. Pretty interesting read. I have an adobe file of it if anyone wants to take a look. A great pic of the 1903 Football Team also...

I think John Heisman was coaching Cumberland and we won 222-0. When do I get my steak knives?
