There have been huge games between Clemson and NCSU. It's always been a huge rivalry!!! I remember one of the very first live contests I saw between NCSU and Clemson. It was in a huge game toward the end of Coach Frank Howard's career. As a matter of fact, it was one of the greatest wins I can remember. I think NCSU was heavily favored in this game. Lou Holtz was doing an outstanding job at NCSU. He had this lowly ACC team on the way to a Sugar Bowl bid, but Clemson had something else in mind. These Tigers wanted to win the ACC that Saturday afternoon and that is exactly what they did and the NCSU wolf pack did not go to the Sugar Bowl and Lou Holtz left Raleigh and went to coach the Arkansas Razorbacks within a year or so of this loss. Even though we finished the season 7-3 and ACC champs, there were not that many bowls back then and we didn't get a bowl bid. Well this game on Saturday with the Wolfpack reminds me of that game. We've got to be ready for this Wolfpack team just like those 1966 Tigers were. Go Tigers!!! Take care of the Wolfpack!!!

I got the years mixed up. It was 1967, not 1966, when this happened.

Please forgive me for some inaccurate information. I went back and checked that year and discovered that Lou Holtz did not even start coaching at NCSU until 1972. During the 1967 season, I was 13 years old, I do believe Clemson had back-to-back ACC championships in 66 and 67. I do remember the Tigers wearing orange shoes as they ran down "the Hill" that day. It seemed like NCSU was having a great year until they got to Clemson. I do believe that there was talk of the Wolfpack getting a bid to the Sugar Bowl if they kept winning. We spoiled the year for them though. Charlie Waters was playing for Clemson that year! He went on to have an awesome career at Dallas. Buddy Gore was the main running back. I remember Coach Howard would say on his weekly Frank Howard tv show, "there goes Buddy Go (the "r" was silent) up the middle for fo!!! :).

I'm sure he'll be 'stoked' when the time comes ... until then, he's focused on NCSU.
