Top 3 most fun games you have attended
Oct 16, 2015, 11:18 AM
|
|
1) Clemson v USuC 2003. Sitting behind the band,listening to them play all #### night with my brother and dad and nothing but Clemson fans at Wilma was amazing.
2) Clemson v Notre Dame 2015. You just had to be there to understand how special that atmosphere really was.
3) Clemson v Miami 2005. This was a tough one but that is still the loudest game I have ever been to. Idc what the recorded db levels say, that was the loudest game I have ever attended.

81 - Georgia. No tickets, crawled under the fence underneath the scoreboard to get in. One of the few times I've seen Georgia intimidated.
82 - Orange Bowl vs. Nebraska. Bought tickets on the street the next day for the classic Miami/San Diego overtime playoff game the next day.
95 - the coots. For some reason this one sticks out in my mind. Watching Raymond Priester dragging one of the coot DBs 20 yards down the sideline and seeing Taneyhill's last pass intercepted by a Tiger.

Now that you mention the peach bowl, the Miss state game is quite possibly the most annoyed I have ever been at a football game. Those ### cowbells man.

1. Coots @ Clemson 2000. Catch II. Epic.
2. Clemson @ UNC 2000. Willie to the rescue (4 TDs).
3. Clemson @ NCState 2001. Dantzler passes for 333 and runs for 184. Epic.

I would replace Miami 2005 with Clemson USuC 2000. That was my first Clemson USuC game and one of my favorite memories as a tiger.

1) 2005 Miami - I hate we lost but by far the loudest game I've been too.
2) 2009 FSU - I was in the student section singing "We Will Rock You" it was great.
3) 2000 USC - I was young but remember the catch 2 like it was yesterday.
4) 2006 GT - Spiller's double move was possibly the nastiest move I have ever seen.
5) 2015 ND - This was was fun but a little miserable with the weather.

Those are some of my favorites are well though I put FSU in '89 first. Their falls all had these shirts say "the Butler did it". They left unhappy.
The CFA bowl against LSU also ranks pretty high.

While not a home game, this game really put us on the map. It was my last game as a student. After the dramatic comeback, it took all of me not to sob during the alma mater haha.

My 3 games
Oct 16, 2015, 11:52 AM
|
|
I have only attended 61 Clemson games total, so I don't have a deep bank but....
1) 2006 GT - Gameday, beautiful weather, Spiller and Davis go off, and a W!
2) 2004 @ Miami - stayed with a friend who was attending Miami, he was talking a lot of junk and talking about all these parties after the game. Well, after Clemson won in OT, there were no parties.
3)2015 GT - First time my Fiancee attended a college football game. After the game her only question was "When are we coming back?"

You probably already know this but based on her question after the game of "When do we come back?".... She is definitely a KEEPER!

1) Clemson vs. Notre Dame 1979 in South Bend. Unbelievable! I can still see Billy Lott running to the end zone. More fun after the game watching the arrogant ND fans feeling "lugubrious "
2) Clemson vs. Georgia 1981. Was a freshman in the student section and it was unbelievable! We had no idea what we were headed towards that season...WOW, what a ride!
3) Clemson vs. Nebraska 1982 Orange Bowl/1981 National Championship. All of the emotion and excitement of that one night has sustained me through the frustration of waiting on another special season!
I need to say, due to disability, I haven't been to a Clemson game since 2006 so all of my games are from youth. If I had to rank gams that I've seen on TV.....2013 UGA, 2012 Chick fil a bowl and in 2011 that 3 game stretch against VT, FSU and Auburn were and still are unbelievable! Go Tigers!

Clemson v. SC 1980 - Stood under the tree at the top of the hill watched Willie Underwood with 2 pick sixes. Cocaine George's Heisman year. No he did not score a TD against Clemson.
Clemson v. UGhey - 2013 - In the Student section with my son and his friends. Holy Shiite it was loud!
Clemson v. ND 2015 - Epic

The fun is in getting your #### kicked?
Oct 16, 2015, 12:15 PM
|
|
Clemson v FSU 1995:
Pulled our couches out of Lightsey Bridge and started drinking at 7am. Apple Pie shots and lots of Natty light (in the high class long neck bottles of course) with my best friends. Tailgated with a few friends family's and drank better beer. Remember taking a #### next to a port-a-potty because the line was too long. Drank Southern comfort from my flask whilst standing on the hill and screaming my guts out with my closest 80k friends. Game was over before half. Took a nap on the hill from half time to mid-4th quarter (hill was empty due to blow out). Went back to tailgate. Ended up at a Kappa Epsilon Gamma party. Stumbled home with a blonde from New Jersey,. Put in my favorite Pearl Jam CD and passed out before my southern charm won the young lady over.

The Catch II
Oct 16, 2015, 12:56 PM
|
|
It wasn't just because we came back against scar. It wasn't because it ripped out the hearts of the coots.
It was because my 4 year-old son at the time was in tears after the field goal when we took the lead. He told his mother and I that he thought Clemson was going to lose - BUT WE WON!
You can't buy moments like that.

3 that I can't believe weren't mentioned...
Oct 16, 2015, 1:08 PM
|

Since every home game is a party unto itself, I chose 3 road games:
1. Boise Bowl ... it remains one of the most fun road trips ever.
2. 2001 game at GTech. After the raw emotions of 9/11, any game was going to be enjoyable. This one, a road win over a Top 10 Jacket team, became a classic.
3. 2003 in Columbia. For nearly the same reasons. Raw emotion, lip quivering excitement and the ultimate satisfaction of seeing a river of Capon tail lights in the late third quarter.

My list is the same except for your #2. I didn't get to go to the ND game unfortunately. But I would replace it with FSU 2007. It was on labor day and kicked the year off. We dominated the first half and they made it a game in the second, but we pulled it out. That was a very fun game.

CLEMSON vs Cawks 2000'

Love this topic!
In no particular order of fun:
1) 2003 vs. Florida State - FINALLY getting a win in the Bowden Bowl over the #3 team in the country after a humiliating loss to Wake the week before. Everything about that game was enjoyable, especially marching the goal post to the reflecting pond afterwards.
2) 2000 vs. South Carolina - My first Carolina game as a student included a giant inflatable phallus on the Hill and the Catch II. Need I say more?
3) 2006 vs. Georgia Tech - Our first time hosting Gameday. Perfect weather. All purple uniforms. Calvin Johnson going MIA.

1974 Clemson Vs. USuC: Fuller to Tuttle for the win in my endzone
1978 Gator Bowl: ohio St. vs. Clemson Charlie Bauman pick off a pass to seal the win. Woody Hayes Friday Night Fight. I swear I think Art, the OSU QB, was gambling on the game he threw right at Charlie! We were right behind OSU's bench
1980 USuC Vs. Clemson: All Orange for the 1st time, on the hill

Can't believe I haven't seen this one mentioned yet: 1977 Clemson at SCar! My wife was in the MSW graduate program and scored tickets for us in the student section where we proudly, if not too wisely, wore our orange. Thought we had lost then Fuller to Butler for "The Catch" and the win. Priceless.

Clemson v Miami 2006 - best home atmosphere I can remember
