Fave game in the Valley?
Jul 11, 2017, 2:20 PM
|

Many great memories, but all this RB talk has me reminiscing of the GT game in 2006. What a long and fun day! Took my buddy (Michigan fan and native) and he was blown away. From college gameday, to watching afternoon games and shooting pool at Tiger Town Tavern, to purple unis (not a huge fan but the crowd went bananas), to Davis and Spiller torching the bees, to driving home worn out and without a voice, unable to speak for a couple of days. Totally worth it! What's your favorite game in Death Valley?

1981: Clemson vs. Georgia: 13-3. First date with the future ms midland.
Close runner-up would be Notre Dame 2015.

One of my friends had tickets to ND, and I found out after that they didn't go because of the weather. Looked like fun to me!

My first game 1987 Clemson vs Uger, I sat in the West Stands and watched the winning kick come straight at me. A rainy day but what a game

The last game against Notre Dame in the flood of the century has to be the greatest game ever despite weather. The media played this Gameday centerpiece to be a game with not many fans(weather) and for us to be underdogs but Clemson showed why our fans are the best an our players didn't let any of us down and the best coach ever came up with the greatest slogan on national TV with "Bring Your on Guts"!!.
No matter how rain soaked we were, this was Death Valley at its best!!

stopping the streak, realizing the tide was turning the other way. Was a nooner, so there was plenty of time to hang out after the game on what was a beautiful day, and enjoy that all 4 ACC teams beat their rivals that day. Good stuff!

There are so many good choices. That is what is great about being a Clemson fan, we have more than 1 or 2 games at home that were great. Notre Dame was just awesome in 2015, UGA in 87 was was awesome because it was my first game as well. (how could you not get hooked to Clemson football after that?) Louisville last year was a blast. UGA to start year in 2013 was awesome too. They were so hyped up after almost going to the title game the year before. 
Any number of Carolina games come to mind as well. Last year for the fun, when we stopped the streak was great too. The catch part 2 was awesome because I had Carolina fans with me laughing it up that they were going to win. The list is so deep I didn't even get to great Floida State games or Georgia Tech games either.

Sadly, not many to chose from really. I live several states away and have been to only a few since my graduation.
Mine would be my first one, 1974 Clemson 21 - GaTech 17. I had been to many college games but nothing like that. so many fans, section GG with the other freshman, The Rock, head cheerleader with a mic (at the time I was thinning you can do that) , the noise, the electric atmosphere, hugging all the pretty girls after TDs & FGs & turnovers (CU has the most lovely girls, am I right), coke-a-cola with extra flavoring, waving the Tiger Rag, everything about it. After that first game, win , lose , draw or even having your heart broken, I never went to a game in The Valley that wasn't a great time.
Planning on rectifying my long absence from The Valley this season. Hoping to make it to the Citadel game. I understand it's quite an amazing ceremony.

We blew out the Boomer Esiason-led "ACC Champions" 52-27 on a beautiful fall day, complete with a world record balloon release (I helped blow up a number of those balloons that morning).

We were as far from the field as you can be, literally all the way in the upper corner of the upper deck, and it was still crazy loud.

Texas A&M was a great game I forgot about. I remember watching that last second field goal and running around the living room like a mad man!
