A friend gave us 2 tkts to the game and we sat on the hill in the end zone. I wore a red Ga. Shirt..my friend wore a black Ga. Shirt. I am a huge Hershel Walker fan and got so excited every time he got close to our end zone. We would stand and yell for him....he was such an exciting player!! I digress...we were pelted with pop corn, beer, tequila, ketchup and whatever Clemson fans had available. We got back to my car, which was a red Monte Carlo with Ga. Plates....my car was egged, nasty words written in black shoe plolish on the paint and my tag was also blacked out with the shoe polish. It's a lot worse now and needles to say, I'm not a Clemson and its personal.Cathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-68997610701752555992013-03-13T03:15:29.372-04:002013-03-13T03:15:29.372-04:00I will always love this team no matter what.

I will always remember the Clemson placard "The only place Herschel has never been is the Clemson end zone." What a dominant defense Clemson had that year. The "Fridge" was a 300+ lb defensive machine with cat-like speed. He was amazing! Homer Jordan, Perry Tuttle, William Perry, Jeff Davis etc. what a true team of champions. I grew up in a home of GT alumni and so I have never had much affection for the Dawgs. My time at Clemson only fueled the desire to see them beat. At any rate, I respect the Dawgs but I love to see them get whipped by the Tigers! Thanks for the post.<br /><br />PS It is sad when Dawg fans can't acknowledge that the Tigers whipped them fair and square in 1981. There was no cheating involved. Recruiting violations occur everywhere in every program. Most of it goes under the radar, never noticed, or is simply not reported. Georgia is no different and it is naive to think that they are. I look forward to the renewed rivalry as do the # 6 Clemson Tigers (as of 11/14/2011). Bring on the Dawgs!!!! We are ready to hunker down and take a nice wet bite out of them!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-40475423079762328492011-06-11T09:02:29.973-04:002011-06-11T09:02:29.973-04:00Wish the Clemson series could be a 2 years on, 2 y...Wish the Clemson series could be a 2 years on, 2 years off type of schedule (even w/ 8 conf games).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-70173982214353133462011-06-02T13:07:08.073-04:002011-06-02T13:07:08.073-04:00Deanna,

When the SEC schedule increased from 6 to 7 games in 1989 and then to 8 games in '92, a non-conference game that couldn't be played in Athens every year had to be dropped. For Auburn, it was GA Tech...Florida, it was Miami (Fla)...etc. So, I guess we're not alone, but that doesn't make it better. It was fun playing the Tigers EVERY year.<br />--<br />PatrickPatrick Garbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356915340772134104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-24857004737781555982011-06-02T12:56:16.714-04:002011-06-02T12:56:16.714-04:00JaxDawg,

Seems like we won most of them. (Thanks, Kevin Butler!) I was shocked when the series ended. It had been such a bitter rivalry. In my mind it seemed like not playing Tech or Auburn. Glad to see the renewal, but something tells me it won't be the same.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982223330215608312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-88787675434504039482011-06-01T09:42:50.809-04:002011-06-01T09:42:50.809-04:00Possibly, the only southern team to cheat more tha...Possibly, the only southern team to cheat more than Clemson has been Auburn. The difference is that Clemson has never recovered after Danny Ford sunk them while AU continues to openly and proudly cheat while winning sometimes.JaxDawgnoreply@blogger.com
