Oh, on the ABC broadcast, after the coots took the lead,

Jul 25, 2018, 12:39 AM

they were on their bench showing off their shirts. The had t-shirts on under their shoulder pads. All they had to do was pull up their jersey and it was there for all the ABC cameras to see.

"No Cigars Today"

What was so cootish about it was had they continued to get blown out and beat, they would have nevre let anyone know they had those shirts ready to go. But when they took the lead, they just couldn't stand it. All they had to do was wait another one minute something until the end of the game. Had they waited, and lost, they wouldn't have made fools of themselves. But they just couldn't wait. They lifted their jerseys and showed off their shirts right after the touchdown to go ahead 27-24. And here come Steve Fuller and Jerry Butler down the field. Priceless!

I went to every game from 1972-1986 with the exception of this 1977 game. I saw that moment on tv. That was the same day that earlier in the day Woody Hayes punched a cameraman in a 14-6 loss to Michigan. That was the double header and for some reason the OSU michigan game was the earlier at noon.

years. I was 14 when it happened. When coot players were lifting their shirts to say no Cigars today, I was in the bathroom crying. Yes, I hate to admit that. Fourteen is a little old to be doing that, but at least I went to a private place to do it. While in there crying, I heard a loud roar from the living room, a bunch of my parents friends had gathered to watch it. Anyway, I heard the loud roar and came running out. It was a huge party after that.

A coot friend of my parents had called the house when they took the lead. She should have just waited a little longer, but like her players, she just couldn't resist. I think a bunch of gamecock people were at her house. Anyway, after the game, they our bunch her house back and she would not answer. Back then, if a game was on tv, it was not uncommon for people to have a watch party, especially if it was an away game. If a game in Clemson, most people went to the game.

It went on in the 90's under West also. I remember

My first live college game... The day I became a Clemson fan

Ah yes the late 70’s, when being a bigot was easy

Being a bigot has never been acceptable to me and yes,

And, let's see people being uptight about players dancing at

Obligatory:

But I DO hope they find video of the coots' t-shirts that
