Crazy thing you did (or saw others do) as a student fan

I made plenty of ill-advised road trips, and got into the same shenanigans that most students do, but two particular road trips stand out:
1) Willy B, 1987 - a couple of my buddies got caught up partying, and couldn't find their car, so they climbed on top of an RV with Clemson markings. They hung on for dear life as the RV got on I-26 toward Greenville, but sadly, the RV exited in Newberry, and they bailed off as it slowed down on the offramp. It was 3AM and freezing cold, so they started walking with their thumbs out. After about 20 minutes a car flies past them, then screeches to a halt in a travel lane and backs up. It was their roommate who they couldn't find after the game!
2) FSU, 1989 - A group of us decided to rent a van and a keg. One guy volunteered to drive, and the rest of us set about emptying that keg. We had Prestone jugs for porta potties, and did finish that keg somewhere around Macon. Of course we found a store and traded it out for a fresh one. The locals in Tally were not too hospitable. One guy in our group was waking down a sidewalk Friday after we arrived, and a car load of dudes stopped their car, got out and jumped him...for the crime of wearing Clemson gear. He went to the hospital with a broken nose, but was still at the game the next day, when we PUMMELED them!
Let's hear yours!

2012 SC game

Last home game as a student
Tied one end of a string around a rubber chicken, and tied the other end to a 5 ft piece of thin PVC pipe. Got way too drunk and paraded around campus yelling "TIIIIGER BAIIIIIT!" and waved the chicken in the face of every Gamecock fan I saw. Narrowly avoided getting beat up a few times
Managed to smuggle the entire chicken-dangling apparatus into the stadium and onto the hill, where I waved it around for the duration of the game.
Miserable 2nd half. We lost, and I was convinced mt pregame antics brought us bad juju. That was the last time I have EVER talked trash to opponents before a game

1-Pool parties back in the cadet days. The Cadet Colonol was so full of him self( PC term) a group dragged him out of bed in the middle of the night and hauled him down to the reflection pool and dumped him in. This was traditional for anyone who was conside a horses a**. 2-On senior day around 1949-50 a student gained access to one of the ROTC tanks and was cruising around campus and lost control and ran over a Professors car. The class had to raise money to replace the car. 3- In 1946 the Cadets and Vets got in a water fight fire hoses old second barracks and the barracks next door. The Comandant came out and stood between them to stop it.
Did not participate. Hehehe
Clemson was a more sober community in those days, except on dance weekends.

Can confirm number 2 because my father was there. Happened in 51 and they were using the firehose before the tank ran over the car. They knocked several off the tank. His stories about what they did makes today's stunts look like child play. He and his roommate were called death and destruction and listed as so in TAPS.

Me and 3 buddies sophomore year 2005 snuck into the upper deck of the stadium Friday night before the game and found 3 of the boxes that were unlocked. We made note of the ones they were and the Friday night before the next home game we snuck back in and spent the night in the boxes. Each of us had Gameday garb on so when people started coming in that Gameday morning we just disappeared into the crowd. Best way to see a game as a poor college student and not have to be in the student section. Best part was over 3 games no one ever asked us who we were. We did it for 2 games junior year as well. The best part was the free food!!

We were throwing anyone that came on our hall (B-9 Johnstone) in the showers. The Dean of Men came on the hall asking what was going on. I grabbed his arm and started him towards the showers until a friend grabbed me and told me who he was. I quietly left the area.

This was as a student. My first summer there I was in Johnstone---the wing directly across from the Police Department. Went across the hall into some guys room directly in front of Police Department. You could look right at the police from their window.
What was so shocking was they had pot plants growing right there in the window!!!! The sunshine was the best there. Stupid if you ask me---but they didn't ask.

Game vs coots in 1988

Can’t remember if 1987 or 1988. Was standing room only. Me and a buddy were standing on the hill. We got tired of being squeezed in like sardines. We looked up and saw a way to climb up the scoreboard. We did! Watched the rest of the 1st, 2nd, and most of the 3rd in/on the scoreboard til someone spotted us and made us get down. I found a picture of the scoreboard where you could see the top of our heads. One of my favorite memories of Clemson.

Wow, these are really great stories, thanks to everyone for sharing.
Mine isn't as crazy as others, but during the 2011 season (Orange bowl year), my junior year, we beat FSU in death valley as underdogs and would go on to surprise a lot of people that year with T-boyd as QB. It was a picture perfect afternoon game and by the end of the game, students were hauling off with sections of bleachers from the student section that had broken off the concrete during the game from being stood on and jumped on so much.
still one of my biggest regrets was not taking a section of bleacher. what a relic that would've been.

one of the guys on our floor in Johnstone, 'found' a chicken the week of the uscjr game. He 'borrowed ' a newspaper box to use as a cage. What he didn't think of was having to pay 25 cents to open the door. He spent all week asking for change.
