What was your closest brush with a soon to be famous

Clemson athlete during your time at Clemson? Mine is easy, and embarrassing, but I was by far not alone. I got posterized by Big Bennie Cunningham dunking over me in the newly remodeled Fike Field House playing intramural basketball, circa 1973-74. Yep, Big Bennie COULD hoist that considerable bulk up in the air! I was just glad the ball didn't hit me after it rattled the whole backboard.

Horace Wyatt sat by me in Psychology class my freshman year 1981 (I think). He sat on one side of me and Shari something (who won Miss Clemson or Homecoming Queen) sat on the other side of me. Horace was always asking for help, but he was a smart guy and really didn't need any help. The chick was just good eye candy for a freshman.
I had a number of other athletes in classes, but Horace and Reggie Pleasant (who was on the football team) were the ones I knew the best.
Reggie, some other guys, and I were talking outside Riggs before class one day when a bird crapped on Reggie's nice leather ball cap. As we walked to class I told him what had happened, and he immediately apologized for the incident (even though it wasn't his fault). What a nice guy he is.
My son is at Clemson now and he is friends with a number of athletes, and has met Dabo, Trevor Lawrence, and a few other high profile athletes.

Took some easy RPA course my senior year. Basically learned about different sports and played them.
Got matched with Dwight Clark in racquetball. He had never played which is a big disadvantage. Beat him 3 or 4 straight games which frustrated him tremendously. By the last game, he was rapidly getting better and closing the gap.
He was not happy that I shut it down leaving him winless. Very nice guy otherwise but very competitive which came in handy a year later when Bill Walsh saw him.

I knew Dwight from Jr. High through college. We played hoops together and went to rival high schools. We connected a few times at Clemson and then a few times afterward when we were both in SF for a few years at the same time.
Cool story, the last time I saw him was in the Charlotte airport in the concourse. I asked him what he was doing back in Charlotte and he said he was coming home with difficult news for his Dad. I said, "what's up" and he said he was coming home to tell his Dad he was retiring from the 49ers.
Needless to say, kind of a surreal moment...

She (Thrift) was one of the athletes (counting cheerleaders) who always seemed to be in the Jervey training room getting therapy on something. Cliff Austin, William Perry, Jeff Davis, Perry Tuttle, and many more came in the training room regularly... although I never talked to any of them. I was getting therapy for my rotator cuff surgery (they had to do it the old fashioned way, with a knife).
I did meet Frank Howard in there one day. I've told the story on Tnet before about my father being named Frank Howard also. Clemson's Frank Howard got a charge out of that, and talked to me whenever we were both there.

I was walking between buildings during a summer session when there were very few students on campus. From a distance I saw another student walking my direction up the walkway. The student was CJ Spiller. I remember looking at him from a distance and thinking, "that guy doesn't look that hard to tackle." Then I just laughed to myself at the thought of what he would do to me if I tried to make that tackle in open space.

I also took a summer school course with Levon Kirkland when he came back to finish his degree after his NFL days. That guy was one of the nicest, funniest guys I have ever met. He also looked like he could still have put on the pads that summer with no problem.

Shane Monahan (Clemson baseball 93-95) and I went to HS together. Good guy all around, good at everything. The thing I remember most is him recruiting as many people as possible among his classmates (class of 92) and my classmates (class of 91) to get together every Friday after school at the local park and play tackle football.

Chester McGlockton - He once made me disappear. I was a big (but not athletic) guy in college, 6'4 and 280 or so. While taking the shuttle to class one day, Chester got on and sat beside me. My friends were sitting in the back and said when Chester sat down, they couldn't see me any more. They laughed and thought he had crushed me. When Chester got off at his stop, I reappeared. He was a very very large man and super friendly. RIP Chester.
Michael Dean Perry - He was friends with some people that lived in our apartment complex. There was a short (8 to 8-1/2 feet) basketball goal where we all pretended to be superstars with our acrobatic dunking abilities during pickup games. Michael Dean joined us one day and somehow I out-rebounded him and dunked on him. Big mistake. Next play, he drove the lane and I made an incorrect "business decision" and tried to block him. Of course he dunked on me, and I went tumbling off the court. He helped me up and we all laughed. Like Chester, a really, really nice guy.

Stopped by my post office box on the way, and in it was the 1/11/82 Sports Illustrated. When I got to Jervey, I was showing the SI to teammate when in walks Perry Tuttle who signed it for me (To: BigCUFan, Perry Tuttle - Go Tigers").
I also sat next to William Perry in freshman Biology (on those rare occasions when he actually came to class).
Of course, back in the day, all student-athletes shared Jervey, so you were constantly running into players on the various sports teams pretty much on a daily basis.

I sat behind the Fridge in sophomore English class (American Literature) and I don’t think the professor ever saw me. The Fridge was a gentle giant and laughed a lot with us. Seemed a good guy. This was fall of 1983. He was a senior and I was a skinny freshman.

saturday, that was awesome!' when I passed him out in front of Schilleter.
He ended up walking with me, talking about football, school and life all of the way to the end of the library bridge. At that point he said he was actually heading into Schilleter and headed back the other way after a thank you.
he legit walked with me 10 minutes out of his way just to chat. Always thought that was so cool.

Was in line right behind Tree Rollins to register for classes back in maybe 1976. No computers back then so you had to go stand in line to sign up for classes. I think it was in Tillman but my memory is fading. He was the biggest person I had ever seen and still is.
Also, sat beside Stan Rome in Col. Skardon's class one semester. I think it was an English Lit class. Nice guy and great athlete.

Quiet guy, in that class anyway. The girls all dug him. He just did his thing like any other student. I sat next to him, but I've always tried to treat "famous" people the same as I would treat anyone, so we just talked a little about whatever you'd talk to anyone else about - the homework, weather, etc. I don't think I ever heard him talking football with anyone in there.

Spring of 1975 Peanut Martin and Benny Cunningham were my afternoon lab partners in a graphics course. They took the course as an elective. They told me Coach Parker would let them skip weight lifting if they had a lab. This class was the same time as weight training. That should have been a red flag to me our 2-9 football season was coming.

on the other team. Of course his team always won and got to keep playing. Watched him play in an intramural tournament where sadly they weren't allowed to dunk. At one point, he got the ball on a breakaway, slammed it, then laid it on the floor and walked off knowing he would be disqualified. Bill Foster apparently saw him playing at Fike too and let him walk on and earn a scholarship. The rest is history. He held his own against the likes of Ralph Sampson and Sam Perkins.

My first semester room was in the Deacs frat house and I stayed in the TV room so much that Randy Mahaffey warned me that I was going to flunk all my classes. Smart man he was. Also had a class with his brother Richie that semester - we were waiting for class to start outside the chemistry building where bushes with berries were beside the steps. We were taking turns tossing them into a trashcan a few feet away and I was beating him - remember him saying " You ain't nothing but good".

Cowboys fame and Wayne Mass, who originally went to the Bears (unfortunately died in 2019.)
More locally, I got to be a good friend of Coach I.M. Ibrahim, who restarted and coached our soccer team for years. (Clemson actually had an earlier short-lived soccer team in the 1930's.) Coach visited me, while serving as Editor of "The Tiger," ,drumming up the newspaper's support for the program. We were more than happy to provide that support, covering the team, matches, etc. I knew several of the early team members, attended practices and matches, as did our sports' staff.

And was more than a brush as well. On Johns Island, I grew up nearFrank Magwood who was a wide receiver in the early 80s. We used to ride back and forth from Clemson to Johns Island together and Frank knew I was a better basketball player than my 5’7” height made me appear. I tell people we did the White Men Can’t Jump routine way before the movie came out. Frank would be picking his team and I was there ready to play in the next game. Frank would tell whoever he was picking against “I’m not taking the little white guy, you take him, and the other guy (who for a while at least usually didn’t know me) would invariably say “I’m not taking the little white guy”. So Frank would say Ok, I’ll take him but you gotta give me TK (Terry Kinard). I can’t tell you how many times we did this and got a decent big guy and held the court all afternoon. Played with The Fridge, Andy Headen, and Kevin Mack multiple times. I’ve always said Terry Kinard could have played college basketball just as well as he did football. Those are some of my best memories of Clemson.

Played basketball with pretty much the whole Clemson BBall

team.
A friend of mine and I were playing basketball in Fike in the smaller basketball court with the wood floors, if anyone remembers. I am guessing it was 92 or 93. It was dinner time, and our team had the floor (the winning team stayed on). Our whole team left, and so did everyone else to eat.
So it was just my buddy and I standing there waiting for more players to come onto the court. Well, in walks pretty much the whole Clemson basketball team. It was crazy.
We all decided that we should split my friend and me up on different teams for fairness. We got to play a whole basketball game with them.
Not to brag, but I was a pretty good basketball player then, but Chris Whitney kept making me look silly, and they were not taking it easy on us. Never in my life had I ever felt so humbled. But holy cow, what a memory!

When the children's mother runned me oft I signed up for classmates. I knew she'd been trying to reconnect with high school friends so I was doing a bit on electronic stalking.
The monitor of classmate assigned to her high school had asked the same question you asked. She replied that she went to an Elvis concert in Louisville and had sat in the front row. Said, her mother told her if she wore a hat Elvis would notice her and sure enough he did.
She noted that he spent a lot of time watching her and had his wife not been with him she was sure they would have had a good time. She was quite beautiful, enough so that those who knew her could have believed her report.
I posted a reply to the OP's question. I said I never met Karen Carpenter but I did sniff her panties once. Well, my friends told me they were Karen's panties. Evidently someone complained for I was tossed off classmates without a refund of the few dollars it cost to sign up. Perhaps it was due to my lying about my friends.

Shawn Weatherly in the old Fast Fare

I know she's not an athlete, but I did literally run into her late one night in the old Fast Fare. It was Homecoming weekend and she was the MC for Homecoming that year (1982 I think). She had won the Miss Universe Pageant earlier that year. A buddy and I were buying beer (duh...), and when I got in line to pay I bumped into her. She was with some big dude (and Shawn was about 5'10" herself), and she looked down at me (I'm 5' 7"). All I could muster was a weak "excuse me". She said something and that was that. But I have touched and talked to a Miss Universe!!! If I would have had any guts, I would have asked for a hug... or at least a pat on the head.

I haven't been on campus since summer of 1993, until last Fall. I met the godfather of Antonio Williams and talked to him for about five minutes, so that would have to be it.
But, wait, in the summer of 1986 I was on campus at FSU. I was tutoring athletes. Brad Scott walked through the room. He was the TE coach at the time. I'm not sure, but I might have spoken to him as he walked past me. So, does that count?

I was in a study group (for economics) with Ashley Shephard, Lance Easton & Kenzil Jackson. We all managed to pass that class together.

Steve Fuller when he was a senior at Spartanburg High School, and I was a sophomore trying out for the baseball team. I got to know him pretty good and thus started following Him and Clemson. I was raised an Alabama fan as my Dad was from there but Clemson won me over after Steve went to the Tigers. He was a great shortstop with crazy range.
The Marshal Tucker band before they had that name while practicing and Jamming with my brother's band. They were in and out of my parents' house in their early years.

Andy Headen (fb) and I sat together (and cut up) in Music Appreciation.
Murray Jarman (mbb) was a fraternity brother.
And Noel Labon (NCAA wrestling champ) was good friend.

I played high school football at C A Johnson in Columbia. The South Aiken Thoroughbreds were in our conference. We played them at our home ( Charles F Bolden Stadium ) in 1982. South Aiken was lined up at an 8’ tall gate waiting for us to take the field first. The first player in line was a mammoth of a man wearing #79.
After we busted through the paper and got over to our sideline I asked my teammates, “Who is that tree they put a #79 on ?!!!”
They replied, “That’s the fridge’s little brother.”
I said, “That &*&#€£&:%¥ ain’t little !!!”

I clearly never went to Clemson, but a former Michigan coach moved across the street from my daughter in Greenville. The coach won a national title at Michigan and is super nice and I will forever consider him a friend. He took me to the clemscampus and we met Dabo and a few players mainly Trevor Lawrence.
Facilities are super and everyone was really nice and I will forever be a Clemson fan because of this

Me and my dad came to see the campus in '90 and he went up to big ole Chester McGlockton who was strolling carelessly acrossed campus from Mauldin Hall and asked him for directions to one of the buildings to which he kindly directed us on where to go... needless to say I was awestruck by the size of this dude?
