If a movie was made about Clemson Athletics
Nov 1, 2012, 1:45 PM

Ya know, one of those movies that touches your heart, one of those story book endings that you cant stop smiling from.. what event would it be?
I just got done watching Hoosiers that's why I was curious haha.
What player, coach, time period, story would it revolve around and what would be the awesome, textbook perfect ending to wrap it up?
Just wanted to hear what everyone thought.

It brought a tear to my eye when they hired Hatfield.***

Darn good Q
Nov 1, 2012, 2:15 PM

And as with any good Q, needs a lot of brainstorming(from a screenwriter):
Here's a few to get us going:
Some tie-in b/w a player and the military tradition. Wars and connections to wars have made many a great movie. And yes- I would include Daniel Rodriquez as a great possibility here. I put this idea at number one!
Another Danny, the Ford story and the NC. Maybe with Tuttle as key player/lead - since he is also a great person (and doesn't he have partial blindness now or something?). This might make a strong number 2.
Howard and the Rock - some great year and team, and the establishment of the Rock.
Banks McFadden story. And maybe a tie-in with Cemetary Hill where he is buried along with other greats and Clemson Founders. Stories about greats from the cemetary are cool. We had a series of articles on this a few years back.
The Ibrahim story - a pretty good one. Put soccer itself and Clemson too on the map in a lot of ways, and you have the aspect of opening up doors to foreign recruiting in the early days (forerunner to foreign recruiting today).
Well, these are just a few that popped up right away.

Don't we have an alumnus who came to Clemson, played a year or two of football, enlisted/fought in WWII, and came back after the war and completed his education and played again????
