An open Letter to David Hood (and all interested T'netters)

‘Deer’ David,
In 1977, I returned to Clemson for my second “stint” in the College of Architecture. That fall, the Clemson Tigers football team defeated the Georgia Bulldogs and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on the road on back-to-back weekends. This was so exciting that I was motivated to keep those Sunday newspapers for their accounts of these games; that evolved into my first scrapbook. Eventually, as this hobby grew, I was not only saving articles during the season but also began clipping articles relative to the football team during the off-season.
Pictured below are 4 years of my football scrapbooks (1980, 1981, 1982 & 1984). When compiling my scrapbooks back then, I had little idea that they may be useful 30 years hence as a resource in the pursuit of equity. With that said, I will be pleased to make them available to you, if you desire, for researching the published chronicles of the NCAA and ACC penalties and probation on the Clemson University football program from 1982-84. This topic appears to be of great interest to many in the Clemson family as well as some others throughout the conference footprint. The scrapbooks contain daily newspaper reports from various newspapers (mostly The Greenville News and Greenville Piedmont, but also from The State and Charlotte Observer) and/or other sources (magazines, etc.), as well as Tiger memorabilia and personal mementos.
I have previously posted a few articles regarding this subject when it was topical to other posts. If you believe that this resource can be of some value to you, then please respond to this post or T-mail me. I will be pleased to assist in your efforts as well as those of this fan base in pursuit of an equitable justice, one which is applied with the same standard upon all institutions which are members in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Go, Tigers!

the ACC Chief said, "I never said that." The newspaper that reported it stood by their story...
Also, they didn't add the extra year after the appeals. They had added the extra year and then we appealed, and then he said they fumbled the appeals, and then he said, "I never said that."

Wow... that sounds a lot like reading between the lines after 2011 play in basketball schedule was revamped for the NCAA tourney. "We screwed Clemson, but we will do better next time"
(could be read... at screwing Clemson)
Never forget "girdle gate"

I see a "Greenville Piedmont" paper in that collection. Haven't seen one of those in a while. Didn't that late afternoon edition cease to exist? I can still remember the old guy on Main Street selling those afternoon papers yelling "Piedmont, Piedmont, get your Piedmont".
This will be interesting.

Tiger Twice, thank you for this information. A special thanks for being willing to share it for this cause! I told this Amy I talked to on the phone at the ACC office that I dont want revenge, I want justice. This will definitely help!

Mar 28, 2012, 9:08 PM

and give the fans an update on what he's doing, what kind of response he has gotten, and what he will try to do in the future.
Is he also trying to talk with the Clemson AD at the time to see what he says and the other ADs at the other schools during that time.
