For You Young Tiger Cubs...40 Years Ago This Week...


Nov 22, 2017, 8:57 PM

Tiger Paws painted from Mauldin/Greenville to Columbia every 2 miles apart on US 276 (now I-385) and down I-26.

Looked like a Big Cat walking towards Cooterville down the interstate.

Coot were all excited - no arrests were made, and no one saw anyone doing the painting.

Completed the task in one night.

The Coots whined and whined, but the deed was done!

These were Tiger Paws like you see on campus - BIG and Orange!!!!

This was the year of The Catch I - Steve Fuller to Jerry Butler. :)

thought that was the greatest feat I had seen in a long, long time.

Think I heard that a Clemson frat did the not-so-dirty deed.

..or maybe it was News and Courier: an article and a cartoon of some Clemson fans hanging out back of a van and painting the paws....

wouldnt let us paint them a few year ago in very modest areas near exits.

It's always been against the rules. I remember the

statement at the time pretty much implied to just do it already and not ask for permission. But also don't get kil't in the process.

We had about 12 cars and had the area from Columbia to Clemson divided out. It was a 2-3am mission. We could paint the paw in less than 90 secs...
