TODAY’S GAME WOFFORD VS. CLEMSON

BY TIM BOURRET CLEMSON VS. WOFFORD SERIES Clemson holds an 11-3 advantage in the series with Wofford. That includes a 35-27 Tiger victory on Sept.

10, 2011, just the second game for the senior class of 2014. That class was the winningest in school history with 42 victories.

That was not an easy victory for the Tigers, who were playing just their second game since Chad Morris became offensive coordinator. Clemson led 28-27 before

Tajh Boyd connected with DeAndre Hopkins for a 17yard touchdown pass with 35 seconds into the fourth quarter. The Tigers held the Terriers off the scoreboard the rest of the game and came away with the eight-point win.

That was quite a performance for the Terriers. That Clemson team had over 25 players go on to play in the NFL, the most of any team in school history. It would win the ACC Championship at season’s end.

Clemson has actually won four games in a row in the series. In addition to the 2011 victory, Clemson was led by Woodrow Dantzler in a 38-14 win in 2001. That game took place the Saturday before the 9/11 attacks.

Clemson defeated Wofford 45-10 on Sept. 5, 1981, 34 years ago today. That was the season opener of the Tigers’ national championship season. The score was tied 3-3 at the end of the first quarter.

Wofford’s last win in the series took place in 1933, a 14-13 decision in Spartanburg. Wofford also won consecutive games by shutout in 1925 and 1926.

The two teams first met in 1896, the first year of Clemson football. The Tigers won 16-0 in Spartanburg in what was just the third game in school history. Clemson won the second meeting 21-0 in 1900 in the second game of John Heisman’s coaching career at Clemson.

TIGERS MUST DEFEND THE RUN Clemson will have to defend the run against Wofford.

The Terriers have run an option-oriented offense for many years and have been very successful. A look to the national statistics at the FCS level shows that Wofford has finished in the top seven in the nation in rushing yards per game each of the last 17 years. Eight times they were second in rushing and were first in 2010 and 2011. Last year, the Terriers were third with an average of 296.7 yards per game.

MANCE RETURNS TO CLEMSON

2

BRIAN MANCE, A FORMER TIGER PLAYER AND GRADUATE ASSISTANT COACH, RETURNS TO DEATH VALLEY AS CORNERBACKS COACH FOR THE TERRIERS.

One of the opposing coaches for today’s game is Brian Mance, a 2005 Clemson graduate who played for the Tigers from 1999-02. Mance is in his first year as cornerbacks coach for the Terriers after serving at Clemson as a player development coach and graduate assistant coach from 2010-12. He worked at North Greenville the last few years.

Mance was a starting defensive back and punt returner for the Tigers. He had an outstanding all-around

career and is tied for seventh in Clemson history in career interceptions (12). He played 823 snaps in 2002, third most by a cornerback in school history.

He finished his career with 164 tackles, 23 pass breakups and had an 88-yard punt return that is still the seventh longest in Clemson history. He was also a first-team All-ACC selection by Sporting News in 2002.

WOFFORD OC PLAYED AGAINST TIGERS Wofford offensive coordinator Wade Lang played against Clemson 34 years ago to the day. When the Terriers came to Clemson as an NAIA school in 1981, Lang was a running back. He led Wofford with 18 carries for 76 yards. He also completed two passes for 30 yards.

Lang achieved those 76 yards against a defense that was eighth in the nation in rushing defense that year, allowing just 88 yards per game.

How good was Lang’s rushing total? Only Herschel Walker and Roger Craig had more rushing yards against the Tigers that year. Walker had 111 rushing yards for Georgia against the Tigers and Craig had 87 rushing yards for Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.

Mike Ayers was an assistant coach at Wofford when Clemson faced the Terriers in 1981. This will be the third time he has faced the Tigers as the Terrier’s head coach.

ERIC MAC LAIN RECEIVED THE JERRY RICHARDSON COMMUNITY MVP AWARD IN COLUMBIA ON JULY 30.

OTHER TIGER & TERRIER TIES • One other player for Wofford that day in 1981 who has a tie to Clemson is Tim Renfrow. He had two kickoff returns for 40 yards, a pass breakup, five tackles and an interception of a Homer Jordan pass. Renfrow is the father of current Tiger wide receiver and punter Hunter Renfrow, a freshman from Myrtle Beach, S.C. • Wofford freshman quarterback Devin Watson is the cousin of Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson. Wofford’s Watson is also from Gainesville, Ga., and was a three-year starter at East Hall High School. He rushed for 723 yards and passed for 1,755 yards in 2014.

• Jerry Richardson, the founder and owner of the Carolina Panthers, is a 1959 Wofford graduate. His son, Mark Richardson, played on Clemson’s 1981 national championship team and is a current member of Clemson’s board of trustees. Richardson’s Panthers played their home games at Clemson in their first season in the NFL in 1995.

• Two Clemson graduates have been the head coach at Wofford. Jules Carson, a 1914 Clemson graduate, was the head coach at Wofford from 1934-41. Rick Gilstrap, a 1972 Clemson graduate, was the head coach at Wofford from 1985-87. He was the head coach before the current Terriers’ head coach, Mike Ayers, took over in 1988.

FIVE NAMED PRESEASON ALL-ACC Clemson, the preseason favorite to win the ACC according to the media attending the ACC Football Kickoff in July, led all schools with five selections on the preseason All-ACC squad.

The Tigers led the offense with four selections, as quarterback Deshaun Watson, offensive guard Eric Mac Lain and wide receivers Artavis Scott and Mike Williams were named. Shaq Lawson was Clemson’s lone representative on the first-team defense.

Watson, who was named preseason ACC Player-ofthe-Year, was on 100 of the 163 ballots as the firstteam quarterback. The sophomore completed 68 percent of his passes last year and threw 14 touchdown passes against just two interceptions. He also accounted for five touchdowns on the ground.

In the 2014 season, Williams amassed 1,030 yards on 57 receptions and averaged 18 yards per catch, seventh best in the nation among players with 50+ receptions. Scott was a first-team freshman All-American when he had 965 receiving yards and a team-high 76 receptions. Both had over 100 receiving yards in the victory over No. 24 Oklahoma in the Russell Athletic Bowl.

Mac Lain, a native of Hope Mills, N.C., is a veteran of 39 career games and had his best game against Oklahoma.

Lawson started just one game last season, but he still accumulated 44 tackles in 295 snaps. He added 11 tackles for loss and is the first Tiger since Anthony Simmons (1995,96) to record double-digit tackles for loss as a freshman and sophomore. Lawson had seven more tackles in 265 less snaps than Beasley, who played the same position.

MAC LAIN RECEIVES SERVICE AWARD Clemson offensive guard Eric Mac Lain received a Jerry Richardson Community MVP Award at the sixthannual South Carolina Coaches For Charity dinner in Columbia, S.C., on July 30.

Mac Lain was one of six people, representing six different South Carolina schools, to be honored at the banquet with the award, which is named after the former Wofford All-American who is the owner of the Carolina Panthers.

Mac Lain has been significantly involved in community service work since he came to Clemson in 2011.

He recently won a Top Six Award from the ACC as one of the top Clemson student-athletes from any sport involved in community service. He is also one of the nominees for the Allstate Good Hands Team, a national team honored for community service.

On the field, Mac Lain has helped the Tigers to 32 victories and three top-15 finishes the last three seasons. He was named to the preseason All-ACC squad, selected by the media attending the ACC Football Kickoff in Clemson is 5-0 (1.000) all-time Pinehurst, N.C. on September 5. The last game

JOE GORE SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

AN INJURY-PLAGUED CAREER HAS NOT KEPT THE TIGER GRADUATE FROM REACHING STARTING STATUS IN HIS FINAL SEASON AT CLEMSON.

BY HANNAH BRADLEY

I

t’s Joe Gore’s time. His journey at Clemson has been unconventional due to injuries, but finally healthy, Gore is ready to stake his claim during his final season in a Tiger uniform.

Gore, a native of Lake Waccamaw, N.C., was heavily recruited in his home state. After originally committing to nearby NC State, he decided to reopen the recruiting process and give Clemson a look.

“Coach (Dabo) Swinney told me to come out and visit,” he said. “Coach (Dan) Brooks told me the same thing... to come out and visit and see how I liked it. I finally agreed and decided to check it out.

“Driving in, I looked at the campus and saw how beautiful it is. We drove around to see everything and went to a basketball game. I even got to run down the Hill. It was an awesome experience.

“The current players were all nice and welcomed me with open arms. No one was put off by me being there. They all introduced themselves and spoke to me without the coaches having to ask them, and that meant a lot to me.”

For Gore, that visit was all he needed.

“On the way back home, I took a nap in the car and pictured myself at the top of the Hill,” continued Gore. “I woke up and told my high school coach, who went on the visit with me, that I knew I wanted to come to Clemson.

“I immediately called coach Swinney and told him I was ‘all in.’ Coach Swinney said, ‘I knew it was going to happen as soon as you came to visit. I saw it in your eyes.’”

Gore came to Clemson ready to work, not knowing many obstacles would stand in his way. A January enrollee, the then defensive end began to work learning his playbook and transitioning to the col7

lege game. But shortly after the Spring Game, he suffered a setback.

“I tore my meniscus and MCL in my left knee,” recalled #73. “I was down about that but worked hard and actually came back earlier than expected.

“I found out more about what the Clemson family means after my first injury, my first serious one. I thought everything would go downhill from there.

But everyone surrounded me and built me back up, so that was a cool experience.”

Gore was then asked to move from his familiar spot on the end of the defensive line to the offensive side of the ball.

“I moved to the offensive line during fall camp of the same year,” said Gore.

“In the midst of that transition, I tore the same meniscus again and found myself in the same situation.”

During workouts the next summer, the rising sophomore was stretching and recognized something felt off.

“I sat down and couldn’t get back up.

I didn’t know what happened.”

For the third time in just over a year, Gore tore the same meniscus.

Not only was he still adjusting to a new position, he was also having to overcome setback after setback. He continued to rehab and work hard, and his playing time began to increase.

Heading into his junior season in 2014, Gore was healthy and hungry for playing time. Then, as was becoming all too normal for Gore, he suffered another setback. This time, Gore had appendi8

citis and needed to have it removed immediately.

When asked what game has been most memorable in his career, Gore re-

flected on his first game back after that surgery.

“Of all of the games during my time at Clemson, the Syracuse game last sea-

son definitely stands out to me. It was the first game back for me after my surgery. They threw me out there with all younger guys.

“Coach (Robbie) Caldwell looked at me and said, ‘I’m counting on you to lead right now.’ I took that to heart and for the next eight minutes, all we did was run the ball.

“I told them, ‘run to my side. I’ve got this.’ Then, we marched down the field.”

Clemson went on to a 16-6 victory.

With the title of senior comes responsibility to lead. For Gore, the quiet guy of the group, that has been an adjustment, but one he has enjoyed.

“It’s a little different,” stated the PRTM graduate. “I try to lead more with actions, but we have so many young guys at my position that it forces me to be more vocal. I’ve become a lot more vocal than I’ve ever been before and I’ve had to step into that role and run with it.”

Surrounded by younger players, Gore knows the importance of that leadership role. He has been that freshman before.

“When I was in their shoes, I had older guys helping me. Reid (Webster) was one of those guys I looked up to. He was so versatile and played every position throughout last season. He had a lot of knowledge and would help anyone out.

“Dalton (Freeman) was more of an off-the-field leader for me. When I first made the transition to offense, he was there, offering to help me with my playbook. Brandon Thomas and Gifford Timothy were the same, always trying to make me better.

“With all of the younger guys, it’s a little more pressure for me to lead at the tackle spot, but I embrace the pressure.

I’m ready for them to jump on my back and let me lead. It’s been an adjustment, but I’m handling it really well.”

Caldwell, his offensive line coach, also knows how important Gore’s leadership is to his unit this season.

“I’m trying to get him to be more boisterous,” Caldwell said laughing. “It’s not his nature, but he is growing in that area. He leads by actions. He’s a great teammate. He helps teach the younger players and he is always very calm. I look

for big things out of him this year. I love being around him.”

Caldwell has enjoyed seeing Gore grow and embrace the transition to the offensive line.

“Anytime a guy comes over from defense, he’s a little hesitant,” said Caldwell. “We knew we could use his ability better on offense, and it would prepare him for future opportunities.

“He has a chance to pursue professional football because of his size and length. His parents and the good Lord gave him his size, but his attitude is a day-to-day grind and he’s gotten better and better. I’m very pleased with where he is. He will do great things for us.”

Teammate and fellow lineman Eric Mac Lain echoed the sentiments of Caldwell.

“I’ve known Joe for five years and we are very close. We are both from the same area of North Carolina, so we went home together a lot when we were younger. It’s been great to watch him grow and mature in his change from defensive end to offensive tackle.

“Joe leads by example, along with Ryan Norton, and I’ve taken it upon myself to be more of the vocal leader. It’s awesome to have all three of us there leading the way.

“I don’t think Joe missed any summer workouts. He’s always at the front of the line, pushing the younger guys. He has really stepped up, especially with four freshmen in our group who don’t know the ropes. He’s really helped both Mitch Hyatt and Jake Fruhmorgen develop.

He’s a great leader and we love him to death.”

Caldwell and Mac Lain are excited to see what Gore can do this year and are thrilled he is healthy.

“Finally, he can just play,” quipped Mac Lain. “He doesn’t have to worry about any of those injuries. It’s great to have him out there beside us. It’s awesome to see all three of us seniors out there.”

No one wants to see Gore succeed more than his position coach.

“I’m excited to see the joy on his face,” said Caldwell. “Every year, he would be doing really well and something would set him back. You love to see good things happen to good people.

To see that happen for Joe is great.”

MAKING THE SWITCH

STANTON SECKINGER SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

THE TIGER GRADUATE MADE THE MOVE FROM WIDE RECEIVER TO TIGHT END EARLY IN HIS CAREER, A MOVE THAT HAS BENEFITTED HIM AND THE TEAM.

BY STEPHEN PUCKETTE

F

or many people, their first memory of Stanton Seckinger, the football player, is probably an image of him outstretched across the goal line to score a fourth-quarter touchdown against Georgia in the first game of the 2013 season.

Beyond that, fans may remember some of the early catches of his career in 2012, or maybe even that he was the redshirt wide receiver who injured his ankle running down the Hill prior to the Auburn game in 2011. I remember all of these, but mine go back further, before he wore orange and purple, back when he still wore the garnet and gray of Porter-Gaud School, where we both graduated.

One play I remember in particular involved him catching a 15-yard pass at the opponent’s 25-yard line. He whipped around to start running downfield, nimbly sidestepped a player diving at his ankles, stiff-armed another and coasted into the endzone for one of his 26 touchdowns as a senior.

Later that year, as a high school senior, there was nothing more impressive than seeing one of your classmates put on a hat and declare his intentions to play for the same school you were going to.

Now heading into his final year on the Clemson team, Seckinger looks forward to another season with a promising young squad. But before this season kicks off, he took some time to reflect on where he has been, what lessons he has taken in and what he knows now that he wishes he knew coming in.

“It’s not so much what I wish I would have learned, but what I would have applied,” admitted Seckinger. “I didn’t have a whole lot of confidence coming in because of the size of our school, and then stepping up to this. Luckily, I red11

shirted, but it still took me about a year and a half or so to start adjusting.”

For Seckinger, a major milestone in his career was learning to play with confidence. He views it as a vital part of doing just about anything.

“Not having confidence doesn’t let you play to your full potential.”

The boost of confidence was not a sudden one, however, and it was not until his redshirt sophomore year when he really felt the need to change. He attributed the shift in mentality in large part due to the simple fact that the team needed him.

“At that point it was my redshirt sophomore year and I told myself that something needed to change and I needed to quit being such a headcase,” said #81. “That was one of the times when the team needed me to step up that year.

I knew what it was that was holding me back and I needed to drop it and have confidence in myself.”

He also attributed his shift in mindset to the role his faith plays in his life.

“I’m a Christian and I recognized that God gave me the gift to play this game.

I’m almost doing Him an injustice by selling myself short with what was going on in my mind.”

Of course, none of this was made easier by another adjustment he was making on the field, where he switched from wide receiver to tight end. After playing exclusively at wide receiver throughout his high school career, Seckinger said a big part of his college selection came down to what role the school wanted him to play since he was determined to

play wide receiver. He wound up turning down several schools because they wanted him to play tight end.

Fortunately for him, Clemson recruited him as a wide receiver and told him

that was where they wanted him to be.

But as it turned out, Dwayne Allen declared for the NFL draft after his junior season and the team was lacking depth at the tight end position.

“They didn’t force me to move...they asked if I would mind because they originally told me I wouldn’t have to and that I might not want to,” stated Seckinger.

“I said whatever helps the team, and if I need to do that then I will do that.”

The switch from wide receiver is more than just a new playbook, but also a mental and physical change as well.

“The tough part was not only learning the offense, but also receivers aren’t necessarily as physical...they’re more finesse players. Tight end is a mixture of both. What I struggled with was moving from 200 pounds to 240 pounds.

The tough part is you feel heavier and your knees and ankles are hurt because there’s more stress on your joints and ligaments than normal. Since I’ve gained a lot of weight, I’ve had a lot more injuries.

That’s just the nature of the beast.”

Since his redshirt freshman year, Seckinger has endured ankle issues, a dislocated kneecap and a knee injury in last year’s South Carolina game, which sidelined him for the bowl game.

Despite the change, Seckinger said he still gets to play wide receiver a few times every year. He attributes this to both his experience at wide receiver and his general knowledge of the offense.

“I remember a game when I hadn’t played receiver in two years and I couldn’t really remember every play,” recalled Seckinger. “We’re playing up at Boston College and they tell me I’m in at receiver. So I run out there.

“After the first play, I told myself, ‘I’m good.’ On the second play, ‘Yeah, yeah, I’m doing good.’ Then on the third play, ‘What am I supposed to do?’

“I look over at Charone (Peake) and I ask him, ‘What do I do?’ He told me

what route to run and we ended up scoring that drive. If it was a 10-play drive, I probably had to ask Charone what route to run for four or five of the plays. But that’s where they needed me.”

Throughout our talk, he frequently referenced head coach Dabo Swinney, sharing numerous quotes he has picked up from his years of being on the team.

But at one point, he paused because he could not recall the exact words for one quote about discipline and regret.

It then begs the question...how many coach Swinney quotes does he know?

“You don’t even know,” laughed Seckinger. “I quote him all the time.

He recycles a lot of quotes, so they stick with you.

“All the quotes are good stuff...it’s all applicable. So now when I hear a friend say, ‘I can’t do this,’ it’s almost like coach Swinney kicks in and I say, ‘Don’t you dare say that. If you say you can’t do it, you’re not going to be able to do it.’”

The importance of having the right mentality is one aspect that is evident not only when talking to Seckinger, but

for any player on the team. It is a focused mindset he has honed and shaped over the past several years as the Tigers have experienced an unprecedented period of success.

“I think the mentality of the team over the past few years has definitely changed,” said Seckinger. “Every year you have a group of guys who think we can win the national title, whether we’re ranked or not. The trick is getting everyone on the team to believe that and to work towards that. When you get there, a lot of crazy things can happen.”

As one would expect, there are many things a player will miss after being on a team for five years. For Seckinger, one aspect stands out in particular...the postgame locker room.

“Scoring touchdowns is awesome, making a block and having the running back run off it is awesome, being with the guys all the time is fun. But there’s something about going out there, laying it out on the line, winning the game and going back in the locker room and celebrating with the guys who you’ve been with for five years.”

Now one of the veteran leaders, Seckinger plays a valuable role both on the field and off as he helps guide the newcomers. One of the aspects he hopes to help most with is encouraging the freshmen who may be “wide-eyed” about being on the team and helping them find their confidence. He said that every player was recruited for a reason and they are all fully capable of playing for the team.

He eventually remembered the quote.

“The pain of discipline or the pain of regret. That’s what it is.”

Seckinger then added, “Don’t tell coach Swinney. I don’t want him to find out!”

amed the 13th director of athletics in Clemson history on Dec. 1, 2012, Dan Radakovich has led the Tiger athletic department to high achievements both on the field and in the classroom while developing significant upgrades in finance and facilities.

Following a remarkable 2014-15, Radakovich was named a finalist for the SportsBusiness Journal Athletics Director-of-the-Year award.

In 2014-15, Clemson student-athletes posted the highest athletic department GPA in school history with a 3.02 cumulative average in the fall semester, and its NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate of 91 percent was third nationally among public institutions. Three programs were recognized by the NCAA for having top-10-percent APR marks, including football earning the honor for the fifth consecutive year.

The football program recorded its fourth consecutive 10-win season and Clemson earned NCAA Tournament appearances in men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, track, baseball, rowing and men’s golf. Additionally, the school won ACC titles in men’s soccer, women’s indoor track and women’s outdoor track.

Since his arrival in December 2013, the athletic department has received approvals for $158 million in facility improvements and increased spending on direct student-athlete development programs including nutrition, mental health and professional development by $1.8 million. His department has increased overall revenue from $69 million in FY14 to $79 million in FY15 and a projected $85 million in FY16.

Radakovich came to Clemson with a wealth of experience after serving in significant athletic administrative roles at Miami (Fla.), Long Beach State, South Carolina and Louisiana State in addition to athletic directorships at American University and Georgia Tech. His administrative career spans over 26 years.

College football entered a new era in 2014 with the College Football Playoff, and he was at the forefront. He was one of 13 people, including one of only five FBS directors of athletics, to be named to the committee.

His selection is another testament to the level of respect he carries on a national basis. In 2012, he was named

by NCAA President Mark Emmert as one of 10 directors of athletics to a new advisory commission charged with making recommendations for the future of NCAA rules and policies.

In his first full year as director of athletics in 2013-14, Clemson had a strong all-around performance on the field and in the classroom. Clemson was one of just three programs nationally to win at least 11 football games, 23 men’s basketball games and 36 baseball

Each of the Tiger sport programs exceeded the NCAA baseline standards for Academic Progress Rate, and six programs posted perfect 1000 single-year scores, including men’s and women’s cross country, diving, women’s soccer, women’s tennis and volleyball.

Six of Clemson’s athletic teams and more than 53 percent of all studentathletes posted a 2014 spring semester GPA of 3.0 or better, and student-athletes earned a cumulative GPA of 2.90.

In 2013, the football team finished with an 11-2 mark, a No. 7 national ranking in the USA Today poll and a top-10 ranking in APR score. The men’s basketball team reached the NIT semifinals in New York and the baseball team

reached the NCAA Tournament for the 27th time in the last 28 years.

Radakovich came to Clemson from Georgia Tech, where he served with distinction for six years (2006-12). Just Clemson’s fifth director of athletics since 1940, he replaced Terry Don Phillips, who retired after over 10 years directing the program.

During his career at Georgia Tech, it had 51 teams advance to NCAA Tourney play or bowl games. That includes five sports (football, women’s basketball, softball, women’s tennis, men’s golf) that made the postseason every year.

The baseball program missed just once.

A total of 11 different sports programs finished in the top 25 of at least one major poll 27 times. That includes

The Aliquippa, Pa., native also initiated the Athletic Director’s Initiative Fund, started in 2006, which raised cash and pledges of more than $12 million.

Prior to his tenure at Georgia Tech, he worked as a senior associate athletic director at Louisiana State from 2001-06.

He became a director of athletics for the first time at American University in Washington, D.C., in 2000.

From 1994-00, he served as chief financial officer at South Carolina. During that time, he worked with current Clemson football administrators Woody McCorvey and Brad Scott.

He gained experience on the West Coast from 1989-94, when he was a senior associate athletic director at Long Beach State. He got his start in administration at Miami (Fla.) in 1983 as the athletic business manager.

Radakovich is a 1980 graduate of Indiana (Pa.), where he earned a bachelor of science degree in finance. He was also a football letterman and student coach with the Crimson Hawks. He was enshrined into the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and was recognized as a distinguished alumnus from Indiana (Pa.) in 2009.

He earned his master’s degree in business administration from Miami (Fla.) in 1982.

Radakovich, born June 9, 1958, and his wife, Marcie, have two sons, Christian, a 2012 Georgia Tech graduate, and Grant, a student-athlete who plays football at Mercer.

Dabo Swinney has been at Clemson just seven years as head coach, but he is making progress towards joining the Tiger legends of the past. He will be the first person to tell you that the program has not reached all of its goals just yet, but there have been some significant accomplishments.

The 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons were especially noteworthy, with three top-15 final rankings in the polls. Clemson joined Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State and Oregon as the only schools in the nation that can make that claim.

Each of Clemson’s teams from 2011-14 also won 10+ games, the first time the program did that since the 1987-90 era.

From 2011-14, Clemson had a 4211 record, the most wins in a four-year period in school history. Twenty-seven of the victories took place against ACC teams, including a 38-10 triumph over No. 3 Virginia Tech that gave the Tigers the 2011 ACC title.

Nine of the 42 wins the last four years have come against top-25 teams, including five against top-10 opponents.

Clemson also became the first non-SEC program to defeat top-10 SEC teams in consecutive games in the history of college football.

Clemson was in the top 10 of APR scores and the final top 25 of the AP and USA Today polls in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the only FBS program that could make that claim.

In seven years (six full seasons) as the Tigers’ head coach, Swinney has directed Clemson to a 61-26 overall record (.701) and a 39-14 ACC regularseason mark (.736). He has also led the Tigers to the ACC Championship game twice, won one ACC Championship, won or shared three ACC Atlantic Division titles, won four bowl games and has been named national coach-of-the-year twice.

In 2014, Clemson overcame many significant injuries and a difficult road schedule to register a 10-3 overall record and 6-2 mark in ACC regularseason games. Evidence of the mass injuries were shown by the fact that 48 different Tigers started at least one game among the 24 regular positions.

The Tigers finished the 2014 season ranked No. 15 in both the AP and coaches polls and were No. 17 in the final College Football Playoff ranking.

The top-15 ranking marked the fourth straight year Clemson finished ranked in the polls under Swinney, who was named 2014 Grant Teaff National Coach-of-theYear by FCA. He was also a finalist for the 2014 Bobby Dodd National Coachof-the-Year Award and won the Gene Stallings Award. Swinney’s Tigers joined Alabama, Florida State and Oregon as the only schools in the nation ranked in the top 25 of the final polls each season from 2011-14.

Clemson capped off the 2013 season with a thrilling 40-35 victory over No. 6 Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. Clemson had an 11-2 record after finishing 7-1 in ACC regular-season games for the second year in a row. It marked Clemson’s first back-to-back 11-win seasons in school history. The Tigers had a 4-0 record in ACC road games, the first time that happened since 1995.

The Tigers were No. 12 in the final BCS standings. It was the third straight year Clemson finished in the top 15 of the BCS standings, one of only six schools that could make that claim.

Clemson, who was ranked No. 7 in the final USA Today poll and No. 8 in the final AP poll, was also one of only five programs ranked in the top 20 of every BCS standing from 2011 to 2013.

thanks in part to 2013, when he completed 68.5 percent of his passes for 3,851 yards and 34 touchdowns. He also added a team-high 10 rushing touchdowns. Boyd’s 107 career passing touchdowns and 133 total touchdowns were ACC records as well.

Sammy Watkins was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award and was a first-team All-American, as he had 101 catches for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns.

He established Tiger career records for receptions, receiving yards and tied the receiving touchdowns mark as well.

The 2012 season (11-2) was a groundbreaking year for the Tigers when looking at the program’s overall consistency. The seven conference wins in the regular season set a school record, while

Clemson was co-champion of the ACC Atlantic Division. The school record for consecutive wins at Memorial Stadium (13) was also established.

With Clemson’s thrilling 25-24 win over No. 7 Louisiana State in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Tigers finished the season ranked No. 9 in the USA Today poll. It was Clemson’s first top-10 finish in one of the two major polls since 1990. Clemson also reached the 11-win mark for the first time since its 1981 national championship season. The Tigers finished No. 14 in the final BCS standings as well.

Swinney’s 2011 squad, which ended the season ranked No. 22 in the nation, captured Clemson’s first ACC title since 1991 when it beat No. 3 Virginia Tech

38-10 in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte, N.C. It tied for the highestranked team the Tigers defeated in history. The win, the Tigers’ second over the Hokies in 2011, gave Clemson its first 10-win season since 1990. The Tigers’ four wins over top-25 ranked teams established a school record.

For his efforts, Swinney was named Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year in 2011 to become the first Clemson head coach to win a national coach-ofthe-year award since the 1981 season, when Ford directed the Tigers to the national title.

C.J. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in 2009 and Da’Quan Bowers duplicated the feat on the defense a year later. Bowers won the

2010 Nagurski Award as the nation’s top defensive player and he received the Hendricks Award as the country’s top defensive end. He led the nation in sacks (15.5) and tied for the national lead in tackles for loss (26).

In 2009, Swinney’s first full year as head coach, he led the Tigers to their first championship of the ACC’s Atlantic Division. The Tigers came just six points short of winning their first ACC title in 18 years. Swinney was named ACC Coach-of-the-Year by Sporting News and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year Award.

Swinney accumulated nine wins, second-most among FBS coaches in their first full year behind Oregon’s Chip Kelly.

The nine wins tied for fourth most in ACC history for a first-year head coach.

He also led the Tigers to their first bowl win since 2005 in the 21-13 victory over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl.

Swinney’s first season included a six-game winning streak at midseason, a streak that saw the Tigers score 34+ points in every contest, a first in school history. During that stretch, the Tigers defeated No. 8 Miami (Fla.) on the road.

The 40-37 overtime victory tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated on the road in history.

In October 2008, he was named Clemson interim head coach, replacing Tommy Bowden, who had been his position coach as a player at Alabama and was Clemson’s head coach since 1999.

He led the Tigers to a 4-2 record over the remainder of the 2008 regular season, including a win over South Carolina in the regular-season finale. That strong finish led to a Gator Bowl bid.

On Dec. 1, 2008, the interim tag was removed from the title and he was named the program’s head coach.

The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his first 12 years as an assistant coach or head coach, the Tigers finished in the top 25 of the polls eight times and registered 20 wins over top-25 opponents.

Swinney coached his wide receiver position to a level of consistency that had not been seen previously at Clemson. He had a wideout finish first or second in the ACC in catches in five of his

six years as an assistant coach. In his first year, he had three of the top-10 receivers in the ACC, a first in Tiger history.

He has coached a First or Second-Team All-ACC wideout in 11 of his 12 seasons in Tigertown, also an unprecedented feat at Clemson.

The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as the No. 5 recruiter in the nation by Rivals.com. It marked the second straight year that he

was lauded by the website as a top-25 national recruiter. He signed 38 players in his five recruiting seasons as an assistant coach and was a major reason Clemson’s 2008 recruiting class was rated No. 2 in the nation by ESPN.com when he signed 11 players. He was named one of the top-25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com in 2007 as well.

Swinney received a commerce & business administration degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three times (1990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama’s 1992 national championship team. He was also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992.

After his playing career, Swinney served as a graduate assistant from 1993-95 at Alabama, who he coached in the 1994 Gator Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl. In December 1995, he received a master’s degree in business administration from Alabama.

He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February 1996 under head coach Gene Stallings (now in the Hall of Fame) and coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis. Swinney was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers and tight ends in 1996.

During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with 10+ wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC Championships (1989,92,99) and five SEC Western Division titles as a player and coach.

From April 2001 to February 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (17), Drew (15) and Clay (12).

DEATH C

lemson’s Memorial Stadium has been held in high esteem for many years. Whether it be players from the 1940s and 1950s, opposing players from the 1970s and 1980s, or even professional players in the 1990s, the ambiance of this special setting is what college football is all about. And in 2013, BleacherReport.com rated Memorial Stadium as the third-best stadium in the nation.

The storied edifice added to its legend when the first meeting of father and son head coaches (Bowden Bowl I) took place before a record crowd of more than 86,000 fans in 1999. Clemson has been in the top 20 in the nation in average attendance 34 straight seasons. A crowd has exceeded 80,000 fans 70 times since

MEMORIAL

FROM “THE MOST EXCITING 25 SECONDS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL,” TO 85,000 SCREAMING TIGER FANS, DEATH VALLEY HAS GIVEN CLEMSON ONE OF THE BEST HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGES IN THE COUNTRY. the 1983 season. In 2014, Clemson was 15th in the nation in average home attendance.

The legend was further enhanced in 2014 when the Tigers had a perfect 7-0 record at home. Defending national champions are 0-3 all-time at Memorial Stadium. Clemson had a 13-game winning streak at home from 2011 to 2012, setting a record for the facility. The Tigers were 26-2 in their 28 home games from 2011-14 as well. Clemson enters 2015

with a nine-game home winning streak, second in the nation behind the 14 by Boise State.

The facility’s mystique is derived from its many traditions, which date to its opening in 1942, the legendary games and players and Clemson’s corresponding rate of success. The Tigers have won 275 games in 72 years and have won over 73 percent of the contests (275-101-7).

The stadium has definitely been good to the Tigers, but it was constructed against

the advice of at least one coach. Before head coach Jess Neely left for Rice after the 1939 season, he gave Clemson a message.

“Don’t ever let them talk you into building a big stadium,” he said. “Put about 10,000 seats behind the YMCA. That’s all you’ll ever need.”

Instead of following Neely’s advice, Clemson officials decided to build the new stadium in a valley on the western part of campus. The place took some clearing, as

there were many trees, but luckily there were no hedges.

The crews went to work, clearing, cutting, pouring and forming. On Sept. 19, 1942, Memorial Stadium opened with Clemson defeating Presbyterian College 32-13. Those 20,000 seats installed for the opener would soon grow.

“About 40 people and I laid sod on the field,” said Howard. “After three weeks on July 15, we had only gotten halfway through.

“I told them that it had taken us three weeks to get that far and I would give them three more weeks’ pay for however long it took. I also told them we would have 50 gallons of ice cream when we got through.

After that, it took them three days to do the rest of the field. Then we sat down in the middle of the field and ate up that whole 50 gallons.”

Howard said that on the day of the first game in the stadium, “the gates were hung at 1 p.m., and we played at 2 p.m.” But that

would be all of the construction for awhile.

Then in 1958, 18,000 sideline seats were added, and in 1960, 5,658 West endzone seats were added in response to increasing attendance. With the large East endzone (“Green Grass” section), this expansion increased capacity to 53,000.

Later, upper decks were added to each side of Memorial Stadium as crowds swelled - the first in 1978 and the second in 1983. It increased capacity to over 80,000, which makes it one of the

VALLEY

STADIUM

nation’s largest on-campus stadiums. In 2006, the WestZone was added, an area that contains locker rooms, offices and a luxury club level that has over 1,000 seats.

Through the years, Memorial Stadium has become known as “Death Valley.”

It was tagged by the late Presbyterian College coach Lonnie McMillian in the late 1940s. After bringing his teams to Clemson for years and getting whipped, he said the place was like “Death Valley.”

A few years later, the name stuck.

In 1974, the playing surface was named Frank Howard Field for the legendary coach because of his long service and dedication to Clemson University.

Luckily, it wasn’t built behind the YMCA. CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @CLEMSONFB

THE HILL A CLEMSON TRADITION SINCE 1942, THE TIGERS HAVE RUN DOWN THE HILL HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN FRONT OF RAUCOUS DEATH VALLEY CROWDS.

“THE MOST EXCITING 25 SECONDS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL” 42

BRENT MUSBURGER

W

hat has been described as “the most exciting 25 seconds in college football” from a color and pageantry standpoint actually started out as a matter-of-fact entrance, mainly because of necessity.

The first 20,000 seats in Memorial Stadium were built and ready for use before the 1942 season, less than a year after Pearl Harbor was bombed and the United States was drawn into World War II. The shortest entry into Memorial Stadium was a short walk down Williamson Road from Fike Fieldhouse’s dressing rooms to a gate at the top of the Hill, located behind the East endzone. There were no dressing facilities inside the West endzone of Memorial Stadium...there was only a giant clock, where the hands turned, and a scoreboard that was operated by hand.

The team would dress in Fike Fieldhouse, walk down Williamson Road, come in the gate underneath where the scoreboard now stands and jog down the Hill for its warmup exercises. There was no fanfare, no cannon shot fired, no Tiger Paw flag, no “Tiger Rag” played...just the team making its entrance and lining up to do the side-straddle hop. That is the way things went for the next 25 years.

Either in 1964 or 1965, Sam Jones, a member of the class of 1919, made a trip to California. He stopped at a spot in Death Valley, Calif., and picked up a white flint rock. He presented it to head coach Frank Howard as being from Death Valley, California to Death Valley, South Carolina.

The rock laid on the floor in Howard’s office in Fike Fieldhouse for years. One

day, he was cleaning up his office and told Gene Willimon, who was executive secretary of IPTAY, to “take this rock and throw it over the fence or out in the ditch...do something with it, but get it out of my office!”

Willimon did not think that was the way a rock should be treated. After all, it had been brought over 1,900 miles by a very sincere Tiger fan.

By the mid 1960s, Memorial Stadium was living up to its moniker (“Death Valley”) because of the number of Tiger wins that had been recorded there. Actually, the name was first used by Lonnie McMillian, head coach at Presbyterian College during the 1940s.

McMillian and the other Blue Hose coaches before him opened each season by playing at Clemson. Seldom scoring (24 shutouts in 39 games) and with only three wins and four ties to show for it, his teams were getting “killed” by the Tigers regularly.

In 1948, McMillian made the comment to the press that he was taking his team to play Clemson in “Death Valley.”

An occasional reference to Memorial Stadium by that name could be heard the next four years, but when Howard started calling it “Death Valley” in the 1950s, the name took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated its 73rd year in the “Valley” in 2014 with a 7-0 home record, one of seven FBS schools with a perfect home record.

But getting back to Howard’s Rock.

It was mounted on a pedestal at the top of the Hill on the East side of the stadium. It was unveiled Sept. 24, 1966, when Clemson played Virginia. The Tigers trailed by 18 points with 17 minutes left

and came back to win 40-35 on a 75yard pass from Jimmy Addison to Jacky Jackson in the fourth quarter. That was quite a debut for the Rock.

The team members started rubbing Howard’s Rock prior to running down the Hill on Sept. 23, 1967, a day when Clemson defeated Wake Forest by a score of 23-6.

Prior to running down the Hill, Howard told his players, “If you’re going to give

me 110 percent, you can rub that Rock.

If you’re not, keep your filthy hands off it!”

Howard told of the incident the following day on his television show, and the story became legend.

When Hootie Ingram succeeded Howard as head coach in 1970, he made the logical decision that the team would make its final entrance out of the new dressing room in the West endzone. In all home games during the 1970 and 1971 seasons and the first four games of 1972 when the Tigers did not run down the Hill, their combined record was 6-9.

The seniors, led by Ben Anderson, decided they wanted to come down the Hill prior to the South Carolina contest, the finale of the 1972 season. The result, in a cold, freezing rain, was a 7-6 victory when Jimmy Williamson knocked down a two-point conversion attempt, which preserved the narrow win.

Clemson has made the entrance every home game since the 1942 season, except for the years mentioned above and the first game of 1973 (374 times entering 2015).

After final warmups, the team gathers back in its dressing room under the West endzone stands for its final game instructions. Approximately 10 minutes prior to kickoff, the team boards three buses, rides around behind the North stands to the East endzone and disembarks to the top of the Hill behind Howard’s Rock.

At the appointed time, the cannon booms, and led by a giant Tiger Paw flag carried by cheerleaders and Rally Cats, the band forms two lines for the team to run between and strikes up “Tiger Rag.” The frenzy starts in all sincerity and usually lasts three hours.

It is a tradition that has inspired Clemson players for many years. Yahoo! Sports agrees, as it rated it the best entrance in the nation in 2014.

THE INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY IS ONE OF MANY PROJECTS RECENTLY COMPLETED OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION AROUND MEMORIAL STADIUM.

46

W

hen fans envision an indoor practice facility like the one that was completed for the Tiger football team in 2013, certain stereotypes come to mind. Common perceptions are largely simplistic in nature, and the idea that a facility that is solely for game preparation, out of the gaze of onlookers and carries a large amount of importance seems crazy.

But the facility was never about football alone. In fact, the $10 million structure serves to unify the athletic department, while providing Tiger football with a cutting-edge structure that helps complete a nationally-relevant program.

On its face, the facility does exactly what it purports to do...provide a place for head coach Dabo Swinney to take his team in case of inclement weather without disrupting a schedule of events that is packed full on a daily basis. It equips the Tigers with a lavish place to prepare for opponents in a game-like atmosphere.

It houses an 80,000-square-foot practice area that includes a full field, which is surrounded by ample sideline space to provide a comfortable environment. In order to simulate a gameday experience, there is a fully-functional scoreboard inside the facility along with four play-clocks and a videoboard.

High above the fields, on the second story of the nearly 70-foot structure, is a long coaches platform so that practice can be viewed from above. In addition, by way of a short corridor, the platform extends to the back side of the building, so that any drills taking place outside on the other two fields can be seen from the building.

The indoor facility, which includes more than 5,000 square feet of support, also contains a small strength & conditioning area and a training room.

Clemson has also taken advantage of the WestZone at Memorial Stadium, completed in 2009. It is 150,000 square feet, including a two-floor strength training facility (14,000 square feet), among the nation’s largest dedicated solely for football.

The equipment room was expanded to include, among other items, new offices and a new laundry room that encompasses approximately 6,000 square feet of space. The football staff offices and meeting rooms are composed of approximately 4,000 square feet of existing space and more than 18,000 square feet of new space.

The facility includes offices for the head coach, assistant coaches and support staff along with position meeting rooms and a 150-seat auditorium with a sloped floor and theater seating.

The training room, located on the North side of the home team’s locker room, was expanded to include a hydrotherapy room, offices and examination rooms. The training room is 6,200 square feet as well.

Prior to the 2012 season, over 8,000 square feet of enclosed space was added on the second level, which houses “The Paw,” Clemson’s training table.

In the summer of 2014, WestZone underwent further renovations, including refurbishing of the recruiting areas and added graphics.

Then in 2015, the Oculus was constructed as the signature vertical element of the stadium.

A bridge was also added as a direct connection from the North to the South stands, alleviating congestion on the interior WestZone concourse.

Moving all football operations to the WestZone has opened up space in the Jervey and McFadden Buildings for the other 18 sports to improve their facilities for recruiting and have more office, training, conditioning and sports medicine space.

This has enhanced the performance, both on and off the field, for all 19 sports.

VICKERY HALL

CLEMSON’S INNOVATIVE & IMITATED VICKERY HALL WAS THE NATION’S FIRST STAND-ALONE FACILITY BUILT SOLELY TO PROVIDE ACADEMIC SUPPORT TO STUDENT-ATHLETES. TODAY, THE STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY & 17 STAFF MEMBERS PROVIDE A HOLISTIC, EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE BY INSPIRING AN ENVIRONMENT OF RESPECT, INTEGRITY & EXCELLENCE. IT HAS HELPED THE TIGER FOOTBALL PROGRAM SET NEW STANDARDS FOR SUCCESS IN THE CLASSROOM AND GRADUATION RATES.

A TOTAL OF 114 OF THE 120 SENIOR LETTERMEN (95 PERCENT) IN DABO SWINNEY’S SIX FULL YEARS AS HEAD COACH HAVE GRADUATED, THANKS IN LARGE PART TO VICKERY HALL. THE OTHER SIX WHO HAVE NOT GRADUATED ARE EITHER IN SCHOOL OR ON NFL ROSTERS.

S

ince its inception in 1991, the department of athletic academic services, located in Vickery Hall, has provided Clemson student-athletes a continued commitment to excellence in its pursuit of an elite college education.

Vickery Hall has 17 full-time staff members, two interns and over 100 tutors, mentors and strategic tutors. In Vickery Hall, the mission is to address the total student-athlete by coaching student-athletes to success in the academic, athletic and career arenas.

Clemson University has a long-standing vision and commitment to the personal and academic growth and development of its student-athletes. That vision established Vickery Hall, which was the first stand-alone facility in the country constructed solely to provide academic support to student-athletes.

The 27,000 square-foot, two-story, $3 million structure is an aesthetically impressive structure that provides premier academic support and services.

Vickery Hall and its programs are dedicated to providing a holistic, educational experience by inspiring an environment of respect, integrity and excellence. Under the direction of the associate athletic director for athletic academic services, Steve Duzan, the staff guides and encourages each individual to reach his or her full potential as a student, athlete and citizen.

As an original member of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, Vickery Hall, in conjunction with the department of student-athlete development, provides opportunities and services to address the changing needs and skills of student-athletes during college, as well as after graduation.

The program has a strong tradition of success and was selected for the FBS Athletic Director’s Association “Program of Excellence” Award, recognizing CHAMPS/ Life Skills excellence.

The Vickery Hall staff is a major reason the Clemson football team is the only program in the nation to finish in the top 25 of both polls on the field and in the top 10 in terms of APR scores in the classroom each of the last four years. That includes top-15 rankings in both categories each of the last three seasons.

Clemson is one of only five FBS programs in the top10 percent each of the last five years in terms of APR scores, joining Boise State, Duke, Northwestern and Rutgers.

THE VICKERY HALL STAFF MEMBERS GIVE TIGER FOOTBALL PLAYERS THE INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION TO SUCCEED IN THE CLASSROOM.

COMPLIANCE T

his brief NCAA rules education is aimed at outlining basic rules to help potential students-athletes, parents and boosters better understand the regulations. Clemson University is committed to recruiting and conducting our athletic program with the highest level of integrity.

If you have any questions, contact our compliance services office at 864-6561580, compliance-L@clemson.edu or visit our website (ClemsonTigers.com) for more information.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER? The NCAA definition of a “representative of athletics interest” generally encompasses most individuals who regularly attend Clemson sporting events (reminder - once a representative, always a representative). Specifically, a booster, or “representative of athletics interests,” is any individual, independent agency, corporate entity or other organization that is presently or has ever: • Participated in promoting the institution’s athletic program (such as buying season tickets to sporting events).

• Assisted in providing benefits (such as summer employment) to enrolled student-athletes.

• Assisted or been requested by the department of athletics staff to assist in the recruitment of prospective studentathletes.

CUAD MISSION STATEMENT The department of athletics offers nationally prominent athletic programs.

Through a dedicated commitment to educational interests, a competitive athletic program and integrity in all areas, the student-athletes, coaches and staff strive to bring credit and recognition to Clemson University.

The mission of the athletic department is to sponsor a broad-based athletic program that provides educational and athletic opportunities for young men and women to grow, develop and serve the interests of Clemson University by complementing and enhancing its diversity and quality of life.

Furthermore, the athletic department seeks to be a source of pride for the citizens of the state of South Carolina and to be recognized as a nationally prominent program, through consistently high levels of performance and accomplishment in athletic competitions.

The athletic department strives to develop student-athletes academically and athletically with the total commitment of aiding their efforts to graduate from Clemson University and advance to careers that will enable them to be productive members of society.

The athletic department will act in an ethical and honest manner, dedicated to compliance with all federal, state, NCAA, conference and university rules and regulations.

Ask Before You Act!

• Attended Clemson University.

• Contributed to the department of athletics or IPTAY. • Participated in or been a member of IPTAY. • Been otherwise involved in the Clemson University athletics program.

ASK BEFORE YOU ACT Prospective student-athletes may...

• Identify outstanding potential studentathletes in your area and forward information, such as newspaper articles, to the coach of that sport at Clemson.

• Continue to establish friendships with friends and neighbors, even those with prospect-aged children. However, contact with those for recruiting purposes is prohibited.

• Attend, on your own initiative, events such as games and banquets where prospective student-athletes are present as long as you do not contact the prospect(s) or their family for recruiting purposes.

• Answer a call from a prospective student-athlete (you may not initiate the call) regarding only Clemson University in general, but not about Tiger athletics. Please promptly inform compliance services or the coach should this situation arise.

• Make donations to a high school if it is located in your community, the donation is not made at the request of Clemson or Clemson coaches and the funds are distributed through established channels and not directed towards a specific student-athlete.

Current student-athletes may...

• Continue to come out and support student-athletes at Clemson athletic events.

• Provide summer employment to student-athletes, but only if you contact Clemson’s office of compliance services (compliance-L@clemson.edu) first and the student-athlete is compensated for work actually performed at a rate commensurate with the going rate in the locality for similar services.

WHAT EVERY BOOSTER SHOULD KNOW • Extra Benefit - Any special arrangement by a Clemson employee, booster (IPTAY member) or alum to provide a prospective or enrolled student-athlete or their families/friends with a benefit not permitted by NCAA legislation. Examples of prohibited benefits are (but not limited to): • Arranging employment for family and friends of the student-athlete.

• Free or reduced housing agreements.

• Gifts of money, awards, food/drinks or other tangible items.

• Loans of money or automobiles.

• Professional services without charge or at a discount.

• Promises of employment or loans following college graduation.

• Providing transportation for the student-athlete or their friends and family.

• Use of ATM, credit or other types of gift cards.

• Institutional Control - A central principle of the NCAA by-laws. Institutional control requires that Clemson University conducts its intercollegiate athletics program in compliance with NCAA rules and regulations. This includes booster activities.

• Prospective Student-Athlete - A student, regardless of their athletic ability, who has started classes in the ninth grade or any student enrolled at another two or four-year institution.

• Recruiting - Any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family by Clemson’s coaches or representatives of athletics interest for the purposes of securing the prospective studentathlete’s ultimate enrollment and participation in athletics at Clemson. Only designated Clemson athletics department staff members may recruit.

• Student-Athlete - A student whose enrollment was solicited by a Clemson athletic department staff member or other representative of athletics interest with a goal of the student’s ultimate participation in Clemson’s athletics program. Student-athletes are not just those who were recruited or receive athletic scholarships, they are also those who participate in intercollegiate athletics.

ACTIVITIES THAT HARM PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETES You may not...

• Contact (including phone calls, texts, email) or interact with a prospective student-athlete or family members for the purpose of persuading them to attend Clemson University.

• Contact coaches, teachers, guidance counselors or other school administrators in order to gain information on prospective student-athletes.

• Make contact with a prospective student-athlete or the prospect’s family during official or unofficial visits.

• Provide any other extra benefits to a prospective student-athlete, family, friends or their coaches.

• Provide prospective student-athletes or their family and friends with transportation or financial assistance.

IPTAY STAFF

S

DAVIS BABB Chief Executive Officer

ince 1934, IPTAY has been a leader in intercollegiate athletics fundraising, and our brand has been built by grassroots efforts and representatives spread throughout the Southeast who work in their communities to build support.

We have had many people contribute their time and resources and who have been tremendously supportive of the university.

That has manifested itself in large seasonticket bases, incredible passion and a great deal of people being involved. Over the past year, we have grown the brand even further by expanding the scope of what IPTAY does.

In the last 20 years, college athletics has seen significant growth in facilities.

The process of recruiting student-athletes is critical to the success of Clemson athletics.

As we recruit top high school prospects with schools from around the country, we need to be prepared to offer them the best possible student-athlete experience.

Because of generous IPTAY donors, the “One IPTAY” enterprise was able to raise a record total of $60.1 million in 2015. These dollars contributed by our 14,988 members directly impact the lives of our nearly 500 student-athletes in our 19-sport athletic program through scholarships, facilities and academic support. From the Tiger Cub Club to the Annual Fund, Major Gifts and everything in between, your gifts matter.

As I have mentioned above, we are truly “One IPTAY.” This is to say that IPTAY includes all components - annual fundraising, major gifts and planned giving. Over the past year, we have taken on the management and oversight of Clemson athletics premium seating, IPTAY Dealer Program and The Block C Club. These have been three great additions that now fall under the IPTAY umbrella as we continue to grow.

The future is bright for both IPTAY and Clemson athletics because of our very important members! If you are not currently a member, I urge you to join and support the “One IPTAY” enterprise. The IPTAY board and our staff are dedicated to doing everything possible to ensure funding for Clemson athletics will be on solid footing for years to come.

Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for IPTAY, our student-athletes and athletic program. You are important members of the team, and I appreciate all of your support.

SUPPORTING THE SUCCESS OF CLEMSON’S STUDENT-ATHLETES IN THE CLASSROOM & ON THE FIELD SINCE 1934.

T

he IPTAY Representative program continues to be one of the most important marketing tools available for the growth of the IPTAY Scholarship Fund. This dedicated group comprising nearly 480 men and women throughout the country volunteer their time to encourage those in their communities and in their circle of influence to join IPTAY on an annual basis and to support Clemson in all endeavors. Despite the economic challenges throughout the state and region, IPTAY had a successful 2015 campaign due to the tireless efforts of this group.

The recruitment of new donors, those who have a potential for leadership gifts and creating a link between Clemson

JOEY BATSON & HIS STAFF IN THE WESTZONEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STATE-OF-THE-ART STRENGTH TRAINING FACILITY HAVE PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN THE TIGERS TOTALING 42 VICTORIES THE PAST FOUR SEASONS.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING A

significant aspect of Phase II of the WestZone project at Memorial Stadium was the construction of a new strength training facility on the first floor that is adjacent to the Clemson locker room and the Frank Howard Field playing surface.

For the first time, there is a strength training facility exclusively for the development of the Tiger football team.

Director of football strength & conditioning Joey Batson, who is in his 19th season at Clemson, makes sure that all Tiger gridders are ready to compete against the top teams in the nation. In his first 18 years in Tigertown, Clemson has played 16 bowl games and he has coached 28 strength All-Americans on the gridiron.

It is the fourth major facilities construction since he joined the football program, an example of his desire to keep Clemson at the forefront of strength training.

84

The state-of-the-art facility has the best in all strength training equipment, not to mention the existence of a new sound system, nine flat-screen televisions and a nutrition station, supervised by sports nutritionist Lisa Chan, that give Tiger football players a pleasant atmosphere to accomplish the most strenuous work.

The strength training facility at Memorial Stadium actually has two floors.

The first floor has all the free-weight equipment, including a dumbbell area, and the second floor has cardio equipment.

Batson has an extensive staff of strength & conditioning assistants - veteran strength coaches Larry Greenlee, Paul Hogan and Adam Smotherman along with graduate assistant Rendrick Taylor and five student administrative assistants, Cole Brock, Connor Guess, Drew McDuffie, Will Paruta and Steven Wilson.

JOEY BATSON DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL STRENGTH & CONDITIONING 19th Season at Clemson 30th Season Overall Newberry ‘85 Born June 22, 1961

Joey Batson is in his 30th year as a strength & conditioning coach at the collegiate level and 19th year as the director of football strength & conditioning at Clemson. He has served as a head strength & conditioning coach 26 of his 30 years of service.

Batson was named Master Strength & Conditioning Coach by the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA) in 2009. The honor is the highest given in the profession.

He has had a strong impact on the program since he became director in 1997. He has had much to do with the success of the program, helping the Tigers to 16 bowl games and nine top-25 finishes, including top-15 finishes each of the last three years. While at Clemson, Batson has had a tremendous impact throughout the state at many notable high school programs.

Not only does he bring professional experience to the position at Clemson, he brings experience as a football player at the collegiate level. The Travelers Rest, S.C., native was a tight end at The Citadel in 1979 before transferring to Newberry, where he was a two-year letterman and co-captain during his senior season.

Batson earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Newberry in 1985 and his master’s degree in education from Clemson in 1988.

He is married to the former Susan Malone of Greenville, S.C. They have two sons, Michael and Benjamin.

Michael is a freshman on the 2015 Tiger footbal team.

The Band That Shakes The Southland

TIGER BAND

BY DR. MARK SPEDE

MARCHING INTO 2015 WITH 340 STRONG!

T

he 2015 edition of Tiger Band is the largest in Clemson history for the third year in a row with 340 members. Included in that total are 139 new members, another record for first-year members.

Band students are majoring in almost every subject Clemson offers. The largest major, at nearly one-third of the band, is engineering. Medical-field majors represent about eight percent of the band.

There are 15 computer science majors, six architecture majors, five performing arts majors and four nursing students, as

almost every major at Clemson is represented.

There are 163 women and 177 men, two faculty directors, one administrative assistant, one faculty advisor, four part-time staff members, five volunteer staff members and 35 student leaders. There are 70 students from states other than South Carolina, including

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

It is also interesting to note that all the members of Tiger Band are volun-

teers, as no student is required to participate. Most other college marching bands require their music majors to be in the band.

The Tiger Band scholarship program is growing as well. Last season, approximately 50 students received an average of $800 for participating in Tiger Band, plus either Symphonic Band or Jazz Ensemble.

When you see Tiger Band enter the stadium during pregame, take a moment to enjoy the sight of a band that covers the entire field from sideline to sideline and endzone to endzone.

TODAY’S SHOW Today’s pregame entrance features a brand new video/audio sequence. The halftime show is called “2015 Pop Music Mashups.” Fans will enjoy some of today’s best-known hits, as well as a surprise towards the end of the show!

Full Name Monte Wesley Lee II Title Head Coach Sport Baseball Seasons at Clemson 1st Alma Mater College of Charleston ‘00

MONTE LEE

THE FIRST-YEAR TIGER HEAD BASEBALL COACH HAS HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WITH NONSTOP RECRUITING AND HIS FORWARD THINKING.

BY MATT RHINESMITH

A

new era has begun for Clemson baseball. A new school year is underway, a new coaching staff, led by Monte Lee, is getting settled in and new additions to Doug Kingsmore Stadium will further cement Clemson’s place as one of the premiere baseball programs in the country.

Lee is no stranger to college baseball in South Carolina. He led College of Charleston to four NCAA Tournament berths in seven seasons from 2009-15.

THE LEE FAMILY - MONTE AND WIFE, ERYN, ALONG WITH DAUGHTERS (FROM LEFT TO RIGHT), MADIE, SHELBY, ALEXA AND BLAIRE.

Prior to that, he was an assistant coach at South Carolina for six seasons. His coaching career began at Spartanburg Methodist after a distinguished playing career with the Cougars.

In their few short months in Tigertown, Lee and his staff have made it their mission to recruit the state of South Carolina, and recruit it well. The combination of an outstanding academic institution, a historically strong program and the recent modern touches and im-

provements make Clemson an easy sell to potential student-athletes.

“It’s exciting to coach at a place with so much tradition and success over the years, and at a place that’s in my home state,” said Lee. “I have a lot of pride about being from this state and growing up here. The opportunity to become part of a place like Clemson, a great university and an outstanding community is exciting for me and my family.”

Lee is forward thinking. At every step in his playing and coaching career, he has been focused on his job, but also looking ahead to what might be next. In 2001, his first year as an assistant at Spartanburg Methodist, he wondered if he would ever reach the pinnacle of college coaching. At every stop along the way since then, he has wondered the same thing. Now, he said, he has reached it.

“When you start out in this profession, this is where you want to get to one day,” stated Lee. “This is the opportunity of a lifetime for me...that’s the way I see it. It hasn’t really sunk in for me yet, and I don’t think it will until the season starts this spring.”

Between now and the start of the spring semester, the Tigers

are working and practicing as much as NCAA regulations allow. Individual workouts and small-team workouts are permitted, but only for an allotted amount of time each week. Nevertheless, Lee is excited about the opportunity to get on the field and in the cages with members of the 2016 Tiger team.

“The fall is my favorite time of year,” admitted Lee. “That’s when you have an opportunity to establish your identity as a team, your strengths and things you can do well. From a coaching standpoint, this is the time of year when we can establish our philosophies and get the players to buy in. When the season starts, we’re playing four to five games per week, so that’s where the focus should be. This time of year is fun for different reasons.”

With the improvements made to the program and the new facility opening this fall, Lee and his staff now have everything needed to provide current student-athletes with the resources to succeed, on and off the field. That, combined with the history, tradition and support of the fanbase, make Clemson a special place according to Lee. “I can’t wait for that first weekend of 7,000-plus fans,” added the Lugoff, S.C., native. “That’s when it’ll hit me.

It’s a humbling deal for me. I’m excited about today and excited about what everything tomorrow will bring.”

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

HUGH HERNESMAN IN HIS FIRST SEASON WITH THE TIGER PROGRAM, HE AND HIS WIFE, STEPHANIE, HAVE BROUGHT THEIR FAMILY ATMOSPHERE TO TIGERTOWN.

BY CARL DANOFF

A

nyone following the Clemson volleyball team this season already knows that a family atmosphere-like culture within the program is something very important to head coach Hugh Hernesman as well as his assistant and wife, Stephanie Hernesman.

Together, they take great pride in their unique approach, whether it is the team culture they instill or the system of play they choose to implement.

“Not only does he have a great volleyball mind, he’s very patient and is very solution based in his thinking, which allows our athletes to thrive and really progress in our gym,” said Stephanie. “I think his willingness to learn from others, allowing our athletes to make mistakes to grow and being very patient with our athletes makes for a very successful coach who our players really want to play for.”

One student-athlete, Keelie Arneson, in particular has flourished under his and Stephanie’s tutelage and jumped at the opportunity to play for him.

“He’s given me guidance, advice and motivation when I need it most,” said Arneson. “I have so much respect for Hugh and his coaching style. He takes the time to really get to know his players and does an excellent job of creating a family environment. It’s a privilege to play for coach Hugh and I’m so fortu-

nate to get one last year with him here at Clemson.”

With a coaching style so unique, untraditional and effective, why do they choose to do things differently? Hugh points to his first head-coaching job.

After a very successful career as an assistant at Wisconsin-Whitewater, the coaching duo began developing what was a struggling program into a successful one at Hardin-Simmons University.

In an effort to get to know the team, the Hernesmans began having meetings with their student-athletes.

However, these meetings meant more to one player in particular than the Hernesmans ever could have imagined.

“She would sit in our office for an hour and just hang out,” said Hugh.

“After the second or third meeting, she popped back in and said, ‘You know what coach? You’re kind of like my dad.’

“When she made that comment, it dawned on me that it was about more than volleyball. I thought to myself, ‘Wow, that’s a big deal when someone says something like that.’ I looked at myself and said, ‘I’m not important enough to be this kind of figure in someone’s life.’ It’s a big responsibility, it’s a huge deal and I thought I’m just me and how could I be that in someone’s life?

“Then I thought, I’m Dan Degner and I’m Joe Louis. Those are the people I am to her.”

Degner and Louis were two coaches from Hernesman’s high school days that he looked up to and admired.

“It wasn’t just about the volleyball anymore, it wasn’t just about what happened on the court,” continued Hugh.

“It was about who are these players going to when things go bad in their life and they’re 800 miles from home? Who can they go to?

“Then you realize how important your role is outside volleyball. And once we

had Austin and Emma, then you really see us as parents now.

“As time is flying by, it will be just around the corner and one of them is going to be in college. Then both of them are going to be in college, and if they’re playing sports, I want them to have that.

So we believe it’s an obligation to our program, it’s an obligation to our players and it’s an obligation to the parents and families that we provide that. It’s something we really enjoy doing.”

AN UNRANKED CLEMSON TEAM OPENED THE 1981 SEASON AGAINST WOFFORD, THEN AN NAIA SCHOOL, AT MEMORIAL STADIUM. LITTLE DID ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE TIGERS’ 45-10 VICTORY OVER THE TERRIERS WOULD LEAD TO BY SEASON’S END.

BY TIM BOURRET

I

still remember the day in March 1981 that Bob Bradley told me not to print the football schedule cards just yet. Villanova, who had played Clemson three years earlier with a guy named Howie Long leading its defense, had decided to drop football.

The Wildcats were scheduled to come to Clemson on September 26 for the third game of the season. Now just six months prior to the season, we had an opening.

What a nightmare for athletic director Bill McLellan. How do you find an oppo-

nent in such a short period of time when teams already had their schedules set?

The first thing McLellan did was to call the other schools who were scheduled to play Villanova. Villanova was playing a lot of schools on the East coast that played football as something to do in the fall until their basketball season began.

Just imagine the reaction to McLellan’s phone calls from those athletic directors.

“So, you want us to come to Clemson and play a team with 17 starters and 50

lettermen back on a hot summer day and go home with a four-touchdown loss?”

All 10 Villanova opponents declined.

As a result, McLellan began negotiating with local schools that are now at the FCS level. (They would be called Division I-AA starting in 1982 and are now in the Football Championship Subdivision). But even the Furmans and Chattanoogas of the world did not want to disrupt their schedule at such a late date.

McLellan then called Wofford, who at the time was an NAIA school, a notch

below Division I-AA. Wofford was coming off a solid 1980 season that resulted in a 7-2-2 record. McLellan made the Terriers an offer they could not refuse, an offer that would balance their football budget for the year.

And that is how the Wofford game of Sept. 5, 1981 came about. Today is the 34-year anniversary of that game, a contest that began Clemson’s magical run to the national title.

Wofford ran an offense in 1981 that is similar to what it does today. It was called the “Wingbone” and featured an

option offense that was designed to frustrate opposing defenses with late pitches by the quarterback.

While Clemson went on to win the national championship, the Tigers were nowhere to be seen in the preseason polls.

(This 1981 Clemson team is still one of the few in history to be unranked without a single point in the preseason polls and then win the national title.)

The Tigers had finished with a 6-5 record in 1980 and did not go to a bowl game. However, there was some momentum gained from a season-ending 27-6 win over No. 14 South Carolina that featured Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers.

Clemson returned all 11 starters on offense, the only season that has occurred in school history. The defense

had six returning starters, including two future College Football Hall of Famers in linebacker Jeff Davis and safety Terry Kinard.

With what we know now, it is amazing to watch the first quarter of this game.

Wofford took the opening kickoff and marched from its own 20 to the Tigers’ seven, where Don Hairston kicked a 24yard field goal to give the Terriers a 3-0 lead.

The Terriers controlled the ball for 13 plays, including 12 plays on the ground, for the first 6:44 of the game. That would be the longest drive in terms of time of possession against Clemson all year. In fact, Wofford controlled the ball for 35 of the 60 minutes in the game, also the most by a Tiger opponent all season.

MOM DYMON’S HEART

IS FOREVER IN

BY RACHEL EAGLETON

DYMON ADAMS’ LIFE CHANGED FOREVER 17 YEARS AGO WITH THE PASSING OF HIS MOTHER DURING HIS FIRST GAME AS A TIGER. AFTER A LONG JOURNEY, HE RETURNS TO CLEMSON TO MAKE HIS COACHING DEBUT WITH THE LOVE FOR HIS MOTHER EVERPRESENT IN HIS HEART.

S

eptember 5. This date on the calendar will forever hold memories of football games played, friends made and tailgates attended. But as the years go by, most will forget the final score of the game, forget exactly how they met that one special friend and forget what kind of food they ate before heading to see the Tigers play.

What they will not forget is how exactly they felt on that day.

For one Tiger, student assistant coach Dymon Adams, September 5 holds the memory of tragedy, strength and eventually, triumph. He is no stranger to the Clemson family.

“I grew up with Clemson since I was a little kid,” he smiled. “I believed I was destined to come here.”

After verbally committing to Clemson in high school, Adams enrolled in junior college for a year and a half after just missing the mark on his SAT. 122

CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @CLEMSONFB

“I had a lot of growing up to do,” admitted Adams. “I felt obligated to come back because Clemson stuck with me (through junior college).”

When Adams made it back to Clemson in the spring of 1998, his expectations were high.

“I had a great spring, a really great spring. There were many high expectations. I was going to be a really big part of the team.”

Adams was right. On April 4, 1998, he had 141 yards on 26 carries in the Spring Game. He outrushed Travis Zachery and Woodrow Dantzler that day. It is still the most rushing yards by a Tiger in a Spring Game.

When the Tigers ran down the Hill on Sept. 5, 1998 before Clemson played Furman, Adams’ mother, Rosa, was in the stands to see her son play.

“My mom had dedicated a lot of time, energy and work to see me get back to playing shape,” recalled Adams. “She knew how badly I wanted it...it was something we wanted together.

“My sister says it was the happiest she has ever seen my mom, the day they came here. I was happy because I had been in Iowa playing (at a junior college) and I wanted her to see me play.”

The game began as any other in Memorial Stadium and Adams was waiting for his chance to head into the game.

“I was going to get my chance towards the middle or the end of the second quarter and finish out the rest of the game,” remembered Adams. “Right

before I went on the field, one coach was giving me a play in this ear and coach Tommy West grabbed my arm, and that’s when they told me.”

What he heard next was devastating.

Adams’ mother had collapsed in the stands, suffered cardiac arrest and been rushed to the Oconee Memorial Hospital in Seneca.

“Coach West didn’t really give me a lot of information,” said Adams. “All he said was my mom had collapsed in the stands and I needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible. When he told me that, I knew something was wrong and I dropped to the ground. By the time I got to the hospital, she had already passed.”

Continuing the season with the Tigers, Adams thought he could handle the loss, but he struggled internally.

“It ruined me. I wasn’t mentally there. I almost walked away from the game totally. I didn’t know if it was for me anymore.”

Adams went on to finish the 1998 season with the Tigers and then transferred to Northern Iowa to finish his college career. After that, Adams released some of his anger towards the game with a few years of arena football, where he had a few MVP seasons.

When the dream of playing professional football ran out, Adams turned his focus to his daughter, Ciara.

“I understood that my daughter was my first priority...it was no longer about me,” stated Adams. “I worked my tail off in a ton of sales positions all over the country. I’ve worked in San Diego, Denver, Dallas, Florida, Los Angeles and Chicago for a little while. I was all over the place.”

By the time Ciara had grown up and decided that she too wanted to be a Clemson Tiger, Adams owned two collection companies. However, something was missing.

“There was a fire inside of me. Ciara was here at Clemson, and for the first time I returned to the stadium. I came back to visit her at the Clemson vs. South Carolina game in 2014 and I loved it.”

Adams also has a strong support system in great family friends, the Pieters.

“The Pieters family really pushed me to open up a door,” explained Adams.

“They knew what I wanted to do. They told me, ‘Hey, if you’re going down there

and see that game, you need to try and talk to the coach. We know how bad you want to coach football. We know how bad you want to get involved. It has been eating you up.’ I had been trying to fill a void that I didn’t realize had been there all along.”

After enjoying the Clemson experience on gameday, Adams set up a meeting with head coach Dabo Swinney to talk about how he could get involved with football again.

“I went into his office and broke down in tears. I told him my story and he gave me an opportunity. I didn’t think that would be the outcome. I just went to him looking for advice. It is crazy how I ended up here.”

Returning to the grind at Clemson has been emotionally tough, but it has been a rewarding opportunity for Adams.

“It is awesome. Emotionally, I came in the stadium a couple times and broke down, but every day has been a blessing here.

“This is something I never thought was realistic to happen in my life. It is long and tiring, but I love it. When you’re doing what you love, it doesn’t feel like a job.”

As a student assistant coach, Adams has the opportunity to return to school and receive his degree while working with the team. Adams is pursing a sports communication degree, something he is confident his mother would have wanted him to earn.

Adams’ daughter, Ciara, is also a student at Clemson and said her choice to enroll was an easy one.

“I had to choose what I felt most at home with,” said Ciara. “I have a lot of family history at Clemson and it was the happiest campus.”

With the Tigers playing their first game of the 2015 season today in Memorial Stadium, on the 17th anniversary of his mother’s passing, Adams is looking towards today’s contest with optimism.

“To be honest, I am looking forward to this day,” said Adams. “This is a new beginning where I put some old demons to the back. I’m sure I will be emotional, but I am anticipating it.”

DYMON ADAMS IS IN HIS FIRST SEASON AS A STUDENT ASSISTANT COACH IN CLEMSON’S TIGER TRUST PROGRAM AND WORKS IN THE SAME FACILITY AS HIS DAUGHTER, CIARA, WHO IS A STUDENT WORKER WITH THE CLEMSON FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

BOB BRADLEY’S

FAVORITE DEATH VALLEY

BY TIM BOURRET

he press box at Memorial Stadium was dedicated the “Bob Bradley Press Box” on Nov. 5, 1988 prior to Clemson’s game against North Carolina. It was a joyous occasion, as many of Bradley’s former students and media members with whom he had worked for 34 years came back to Clemson to celebrate his career and a 37-14 win over the Tar Heels that virtually clinched an ACC title.

Today’s contest against Wofford marks the first game in a new press box at Memorial Stadium, but it is still the “Bob Bradley Press Box.” I hate to refer to the previous press box as “the old press box,” because that makes me old. It was opened for the 1978 South Carolina game, my first year, and it served the media and our communications team for a final time at the 2014 South Carolina game.

I am proud to say I worked all 233 Clemson games in that press box.

In conjunction with that 1988 dedication, Bradley wrote “The Last Word” in the program for that contest, and he recounted some great stories in his over three decades of running the Memorial Stadium press box.

One of Bradley’s memories was about Youth Day and the experiences of a youngster who had a great day with a great seat and plenty to eat, thanks for the most part to Bradley.

The story is an example of the Clemson family atmosphere, an atmosphere and spirit that he had as much to do with as anyone.

Here is what Bradley wrote in that 1988 program article.

A number of years ago, one game each year was set aside

as Youth Day. If you were a member of the Boy, Girl or Cub Scouts, Future Farmers...any group...as long as you came as a group, members could get in for 10 cents each. And they would come by the thousands.

It wasn’t unusual for a half dozen or more lost youth to be brought to the press box, only to be claimed by an anxious parent or sheepish chaperone. One game (in the 1950s), a few minutes before the first half ended, a security guard brought a little Cub Scout to the press box.

He had become separated from his group and didn’t remember where he was sitting. In order to keep the little fella happy and his mind off being lost, we gave him some chicken, some soda

pop and tried to keep him occupied with conversation.

We started announcing on the public address system that a lost Cub Scout was in the press box. At least a half dozen times the crowd was told this, but at game’s end, he was still in the press box. After holding coach (Frank) Howard’s postgame press conference, which lasted over 30 minutes, he was still in the press box when I returned from the locker room.

Knowing his name and where he was from, we called the police department in his hometown of Belton, S.C., and asked if they knew this scout’s parents. Sure enough, they did. We told the police that a state highway patrolman in Greenwood was getting ready to return to his home area and he would bring the Cub by the station in about 30 minutes.

We all thought that the lost child had come to the game in a school bus and wasn’t missed by the group at the game. But we later found out that he had actually come to the game in a private car and the driver did not know he was missed until she pulled up to the front door of the boy’s house in Belton and asked him to get out.

I doubt his parents had to feed him that night because he was eating our press food for most of the second half and we gave him a sandwich and a candy bar for the ride home.

The story had a happy ending, as the policemen met the young man’s parents at the police station by early evening.

Enjoy Youth Day, everyone. And make sure all the kids are accounted for when you start that drive home.
