Rare Clemson Opponents; You would love to see Tigers play?


Aug 10, 2021, 7:34 PM

For me: I would love to see the Clemson vs. Southern Cal. I would love to beat them by say: 4 to 6 TD's in the process.
2nd choice: Michigan! Just because the Ohio State annual whipping group - isn't an opponent with a lot of history with little ole Clemson! And they are said to be, "the most iconic program in college football by some people"!

Who would be your top two?

Two very good choices! In fact, those may have been my top two as well. However, for the sake of conversation, I’ll be different. I would love to play Florida in The Swamp and Penn State in Beaver Stadium. Those (Penn State) white out games look CRAZY on TV!

Go Tigers!!!

Two excellent choices. I hadn't thought about either; but I like both of those picks myself now that you mention it.
I am 100% shocked we haven't played Florida that much. Would love to see it as well!

I used to say Michigan but they've fallen off so much lately I don't really care about them. I'd have to go with Oregon and Florida. Playing West Virginia a couple years in a row would be nice too. I would love to beat them down multiple times in a row in response to that orange bowl loss.

Love the idea of getting to beat down on West Virginia! Hopping that is a game Coach Swinney "blinks" and has an outter body experience and does not call off the dogs. LOL!

Hadn't thought about Oregon - but that would be good too.

Oregon and Texas. Just because.

Aug 10, 2021, 7:55 PM

We have beaten just about everybody in the SEC (we lost a few)
So we have never played Texas- and because they are in the SEC- (they are Back Baby)
and

why wait until 2035- I will most likely be dead by than

Oklahoma- few more games and we can own them like the dirt peckers!

Re: Rare Clemson Opponents; You would love to see Tigers play?


Aug 10, 2021, 8:14 PM

I have to admit: beating Texas would be fun!

None of Tigers would do the: "downward horns"! Pretty sure cattle is on a Tigers menu as well!

Home and home with Hawaii. Always thought it would be cool to play Oregon.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You just want the weather in "Eugene", LOL!


Aug 10, 2021, 8:12 PM

Like those choices. Though Hawaii wouldn't do it for me on the field. It would give me a good reason to take another trip to Hawaii. LOL!

I’ve never been. If they played it would be reason to go.

Boise State would be nice. I think about this post in terms of where would I like to travel to and fish.

Nice choice. Love the area, like their team, all orange unis on the smurf turf. LOL

the All White “business uniforms” looked really good on that God-awful Blue Stuff . . .

Let’s cut through the muck and just play a Home and Home with Bama!!!

Out of curiosity: "is that in order of most desired?"

If so, I like the Southern Cal choice, hehe!

Re: Rare Clemson Opponents; You would love to see Tigers play?

Roughly - it was just the first teams to come to mind. But southern cal is towards the top. That’d definitely be an awesome series.

Re: Rare Clemson Opponents; You would love to see Tigers play?


Aug 10, 2021, 8:29 PM

I’ll go with the Gators, Texas, and Iowa. Iowa because with a home and home, it would be the two best traditions in college football (though one is relatively new). Might throw in Ole Miss because we owe them a couple of marks in the loss column and I wouldn’t mind tailgating at The Grove once.

1. USC or UCLA

4. San Diego State
5. Florida
6. UW
7. Colorado
8. Utah
9. Penn State
10. Wisconsin

I think we would beat any of them by 3 TDS.

I'd like to rekindle that almost rivalry with Wyoming with a home and home. Beautiful stadium and campus and awesome state to travel in. If their oil and cattle rich alumni get serious, they could NIL themselves into playoff contention.

Home and home with Florida and LSU would be really cool. Would love to beat LSU in a night game at the fake poser wannabe Death Valley.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The Death Valley Bowl or Tigers Bowl


Aug 10, 2021, 10:06 PM

That would be intriguing!

Been there when my father in law’s team was inducted into their HOF. He was starting SS when they played (loss) LSU in the Sugar Bowl. Met Jim Kiick and quite a few other characters from that team. Beautiful country and great eats. Hate we canceled that game this year and kept UConn, Wiskey, Tango, Foxtrot?!

Penn State, Southern Cal, Michigan, Florida,
and Texas are all great choices.

LSU will be fun, assuming it doesn’t get canceled.

I’d like to play Tennessee also. Their stadium is huge, and a prime time night game there would be really cool - especially if they got back to a respectable level.

I want these schools home and home.....

1. Texas : Name team and Austin is a great little city.
2. Southern Cal : I'd like to see them in Death Valley and would make a trip to LA just because.

These are the two teams with the most modern day titles that Clemson has not played.

Much lower on my priority for a home and home series is Florida. I'd like to beat Florida and FSU to four national titles. I also want to play LSU in our stadium. I would not go to see us play in Baton Rouge, but I'd still hope for a home and home with the Faux Tigers.


Since I was a freshman, we've played Okla, Nebraska, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Bama and beaten them all. Those teams are historic powerhouses who were playing in front to HUGE crowds when a normal Death Valley crowd was about 30K. Heck, Ohio State played Notre Dame in the mid-1930 in Columbus in front of 85,000 fans. Back then most often played only a couple of games at home on Riggs Field in front of only a couple of thousand fans. We've come a long long long way.

San Diego State


Aug 11, 2021, 8:09 PM

Be good to get back to San Diego! And, would be the perfect excuse! I think someone else already said the Aztecs as well.

Upon further review; I would like to add the Aztecs to my list in the following order:
1. Southern Cal
2. Michigan
3. San Diego State.

**I mostly want to fly out to San Diego and make a weekend out of it before the Tigers beat the brakes off the Aztecs. **Perhaps I would get a chance to head up to Camp Pendelton and Oceanside while I am up there.
**Visit Pacific Beach ** La Jolla *** And of course Mission Beach!

Let's petition to make this happen! If you have never been to San Diego - you should go at least once! It's pretty nice! Certain parts!

Coach Elliott is actually from El Cajon! Maybe he would have some motivation to push this through; so his west coast family can see him in action "at home"! Hmmmmm!

How about playing one of the service academies on Military Appreciation Day? Then play them at their home as a non-conference game?

Like the idea of the service academies. Only thing for me would be: make sure it's before or after a bye week! Those chop blocks can be brutal if not prepared. If not prepared properly; have enough time to recuperate.
