Top 3 home games attended in the Valley:

What’s your top 3 home games you’ve ever attended. Mine are listed below.
1. FSU in 2003. Whitehurst led us to an upset of #3 resulting in both goal post being torn down and carried out of the stadium. Tigers win 26-10 and snapped a major losing streak to the Noles.
2. ND in 2015- Notre Dame in the rain! Not much more to say than it was a BYOG type of atmosphere resulting in a finish that all Tiger fans remember vividly. Tigers won 24-22.
3. USC in 2016- Watson led us to a thrashing of that other school 56-7. I remember a USC fan, drunk of course, crying near by because they were losing so bad. Made me believe that we were elite and could punch our ticket to a rematch with Alabama.

No words to describe that game.
Deion Sanders was electric in the punt return.
Clemson was better team but Bobby Bowden pulled an all timer

Was before my time but I’ve seen highlights of that game and could only imagine how electric that game must have been.

I’m a youngin whose parents couldn’t afford Tiger FB tickets, so mine are fairly recent:
2011 vs. FSU: Sammy Watkins introduced himself to Jimbo & the Creminoles. The way the stadium shook after that last 4th down stop still gives me chills!
Final Score: 35-30 Tigers
2013 vs. the Dawgs: Tajh & Sammy lit it up, but the unsung hero that night might’ve been Tavaris Barnes, who had 2 sacks IIRC.
Final Score: 38-35 Tigers
3. 2022 vs. Nancy State: Nothing sweeter than getting revenge against somebody who beats you. Best part was sitting with my dad & laughing at all the wolfies leaving early in the 4th quarter.

Thanks for sharing! Those were all great games as well. Was a student at Clemson for the FSU and UGA game you mentioned. That UGA game is #4 on my list. Still is one the best features of “running down the hill” that ESPN ever did.

I was a student for both the FSU & UGA games as well! Attended 2011-2016 & my wife is an alum as well. I guess I could’ve chosen 2015 vs. BC as a bonus, because it was her first time in the Valley!

1. Original Orange Britches game. I will never forget the reaction when our guys came out with all orange on.
2. Game with Louisville in 2016 with DW4 and Lamar going toe to toe. Awesome game.
T3. Notre Dame in 1977 and Georgia in 1982 when we kept them out of the endzone.

Watson vs. Jackson was a great game for sure. Crowd broke out into a complete frenzy when Swift was stopped by Edmond! So many great games from the 2016 season.

We had to watch that one on TV and I truly thought I was going to have a heart attack. I'll love Marcus Edmond until the day I die. And he saved us again in the NC State game that year down on the goal line in the final minutes. I honestly think he deserves a special award!

1. My first Clemson game as a kid. I don’t remember who we played, I just remember I was hooked after that.
2. South Carolina, 2000. Dantzler to Gardner for “The Catch II.”
3. Florida State, 1999. Bowden Bowl I. Even though we lost, the atmosphere was electric. I’ve never been more proud of a Clemson team for how hard we battled.

#2 my 1st game in Death Valley. George Rogers getting denied into the end zone time after time
Lot of 3 way ties. Punt rooski game (loss). Miami game (loss)with Whitehurst loudest game ever attended. Ridiculous
Several GT games were awesome like the following year after the Jackets were CO National Champions, Tigers knocked them off in a loud low scoring game. I believe Joe Hamilton was the qb.

Most of mine have been named here already, but let me suggest the 2009 Florida State game. It clinched the Atlantic for us (for the first time since the divisions were created) and sent us to the ACC championship for the first time since FSU joined the conference I think. CJ Spiller had over 300 yards and we picked off Christian Ponder 4 times (and that was the famous Deandre McDaniel lowering the boom on Ponder during a return).
And of course, best of all, that was the very first "We will Rock You" game. I don't think I've ever heard Clemson louder.

South Carolina - 1980 - They had George Rogers, and we spanked them.
FSU Puntrooski game - Just a great game
Georgia - 1981 - Got us in the national picture. Led to national championship
