Hearing the crowd erupt in laughter, not cheers, when we scored the last touchdown in the 82-24 beating of Wake Forest in 1981 is forever etched in my memory.

Actually laughed and preferred 63-17 in Cootlumbia over 82-24 at DV over little Wake a billion times more

I will never forget that when ABC was cutting to commercial after Woody punched Bauman, Keith Jackson, thinking they were off the air, very distinctly said “DID YOU SEE THAT?” And when they returned from commercial, not a word.

Link below. Go to about the 7:36 point, right at the commercial break.

Clearly hear Ara Parsegian(??) say “that’s the wildest GD thing I’ve ever seen!” After the commercial = crickets.

The Gator Bowl game is my most memorable of the ones listed. We were sitting low on the Ohio State side and were totally blocked out and had no idea Woody had hit Charlie Bauman until breakfast the next morning at the Waffle House down the street. All we knew is we won the game and knew it would a pleasant trip back to the Upstate but a legend had coached his last game.
If my memory is correct about the coaches, one of the craziest games I rememnber was a game against Maryland in Baltimore in 1984 when neither coach was on the sidelines because they were suspended. I think the game was played in the old Memorial Stadium where the Colts played and Maryland won. We had a great time in Baltimore despite losing the game.

Ooohhh, I watched that '78 Gator Bowl on TV with my dad, who was living in Melbourne FL at the time having recently retired (from Binghamton, NY, where he himself was born and reared me and my family.) I had just finished Clemson in Architecture earlier that year. I had gotten a job in S'burg, SC (where I still live) and was home at Christmas. My dad had graduated Miami (Ohio) and was quite the Midwest "homeboy" in all things sports. But instead of congratulating me and my Alma Mater, he was really pizzouled that OSU lost the game and claimed that Charlie B had "taunted" him (Hayes) with the ball after the interception and Hayes went after him with the fury that old school gamers (like my dad) who have played the sport would expect him to. And I can actually appreciate that, but not a coach doing that. I later video-taped the play 3 different times just to ram it down my dad's throat and say, "see that?", but I never could. "Let it Be.... "
However, this weekend, I celebrate the memory of my dad and his six best buddies he lost on their way to Berlin in WWII.
Go Tigers!!!

As someone else said, I didn't even know it happened until

the next day when we saw it on the news in the hotel room. We were jumping around celebrating after Bauman's interception because we knew that sealed the win. So we missed the punch.

This was my father's last game before he passed away. Most of my family was at the game at Jacksonville. We were sitting on the Clemson side and the fog rolled in during the second half of the Gator Bowl. It was difficult to see. Therefore, we knew about the turnover but not about Woody Hayes hitting the football player. When we got back to the hotel we heard about Charlie being hit by OSU's Hayes but we didn't know he was fired until we woke up the next morning. My father graduated from Clemson in 1933 and came back to start his teaching career in 1936. Except the time he was in the Army in World War II, he taught textile testing and weaving and design until he retired in 1975 as a professor. His name was J.V. Walters. He was the first college graduate in his family. He would be proud of the many Walters' that graduated and others that support the Tigers.
