Gator man stuck in quicksand4/18/2024 Still felt that way in 1990 but by 1991 it had faded as the reality that Clemson football was stuck in quicksand while many programs were evolving around it. I thought about Clemson having a chance to win it all every single year from when I could actually remember thinking about that around 1984 through the 1989 season. The games listed were all part of the hope I was clinging to that Clemson would return to where Danny Ford had the program when I was just a kid growing up. All of these are post Hatfield-West era when Clemson lost just about every single game of major consequence during that time. However, those five above all had me feeling really great about things walking out of the stadium. I make 2-3 games a year but often miss the big ticket games due to not wanting to pay an arm and a leg. My five contenders for this are as follows:Īdmittedly, I have missed a lot of major home games since I gave up my season tickets back in 2009 (painful to think about considering where Clemson football went from there). I still get chills watching that final drive and only a couple of other games have that effect on me now. I was just a 1st grader when the 81 title happened, but that 2016 would no doubt be #1 had I been in the stands for it. This eliminated the three National Championship wins from contention for me. Now for some positive vibes and thinking about when I was the happiest after a Clemson game.Īgain, my #1 criterion for myself to narrow this down a bit was that I had to be in attendance for the game. It is still the most ridiculous 3 minutes of football I can ever remember from the Tigers. I started with the bad and discussed how angry I was after the 2004 GT game disaster. This year, I’ve decided to do two topics I think make for good discussion fodder. I usually do some retrospective series of articles during this time. I hope you are having a great summer out there as we await another football season to end this dreaded Dark Territory period in college athletics.
