Students organizing Silence before game


Oct 10, 2018, 12:20 PM

The student body is trying to organize a silence before the cannon goes off down the hill. I personally think this is a terrible idea. What is this Utah state basketball??? Bring the noise vs NC State!

I don’t think it can be organized again personally. But even though we lost, the stories of the silent treatment for 1977 Notre Dame are the stuff of legend...

“THE SILENT TREATMENT

Two weeks before Clemson was set to play the Irish in Death Valley, Notre Dame head coach Dan Devine privately called the head of officials of the ACC and asked if the game officials would take notice of the stories that Clemson’s Death Valley was too loud when the opposing team had the ball. He was worried his team might get called for a couple of delay of game penalties while trying to get plays in from the sideline or change things up at the line of scrimmage. Instead, he wanted the officials to penalize Clemson for too much fan noise.

Somehow word leaked back to Clemson of Devine’s plan and the Clemson fan base—without the services of a thing called the Internet—got a little creative. During pregame warm ups, no one in the stadium made a sound. They did not scream or yell until the Tigers’ finally came charging down the Hill just minutes before kickoff.

“Even the band cooperated,” Blackman said. “They acted like they were playing their instruments, but there was no music. They were just pretending like they were playing. They did that all throughout the pregame.”

From that point on they were loud the entire game and it did cause some communication issues for the Irish.

But the fans wanted Devine to think he got to them and they were going to be on their best behavior. But they gave it to him and every time he stepped out onto the field that afternoon to complain to the officials he was booed and jeered.

“What he did was just add fuel to the fire,” Blackman said. “I tell you what. That was the loudest I ever heard Memorial Stadium. It was obviously smaller than the crowds we have today, but in my opinion, that stadium has never been louder than it was on that afternoon.

“That was the loudest noise I think I have ever heard in my life.”“

Was there, thanks for reminding me. I mostly remember driving all over the country for white painters overalls and orange ritz dye. Was this the game where the officials warned the fans about the noise as a delay of game ? 60,000 fans 'shhhhsssshhhh' is dang loud. Devine tried to protest this as well, the officials thru up their hands and told them to hike the ball.

We also did it at a BB game. I was reminded, we all brought the newspaper to read while the other team warmed up. It was very cool and a blast.

During my years at Clemson, this is one game I remember. I remember the band coming out and holding their instruments and not a sound. What a great memory!

That's a REALLY bad idea. Unless it's total silence when the opponent comes on the field.

I'm a student and haven't heard this nonsense. The vibe around campus is mainly focused around if GameDay is coming or not. (We all want Gameday)

being silent before the game is good practice when we are silent the entire game when finley throws for 400 and 3 tds

He could throw for 600 yards and you will still lose. Deep in your heart you know you will lose this game. You just can't seem to get past Clemson.
