Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.

Another winner David. Especially appealing to me as a Det. 770 offspring and 27 yr vet, class of 75. My dad was also a military graduate of the Tigers when it was all military students. Yes, Det 770 does have a great, even storied history. But relations with the rest of the student body was not always respected, surely in the early 70s when I was there. Thanks for providing a poignant glympse into a very important Tiger and American tradition of service to country.

Thanks for the article, DHood. I was commissioned through Det 770 in the amphitheater 32 years ago by my dad who was the Det commander, on the same spot where he graduated in the 1950s and his father in the 1920s. While I retired from the USAF in 2014, my Clemson roommate is still on active duty - as Clemson's first 4-star general. Thanks for your article about 11 amazing young men and women who will be leaders their whole lives, as well as their brothers and sisters being commissioned as Lieutenants in Army ROTC.

Great article, about even greater men and women. There is no greater service to our country than the men and women of our military. They are the ones who keep this the greatest country in the history of this planet.

The fact that Clemson can hold this tradition is a little known fact that makes it such an amazing institution.

Thank God for those who put others ahead of themselves and for TigerNet and David Hood who share this value so powerfully. I met Eric last year and some of his family. It's no surprise that his parents are as outstanding as Eric and Shawn.

May God raise up more families like the Mc Lains.
