TODAY'S GAME LOUISVILLE VS. CLEMSON

BY TIM BOURRET TOP-FIVE TEAMS COLLIDE This is just the second matchup of top-five teams in the history of Memorial Stadium, as both teams enter with a ranking of No. 3. The facility was built for the beginning of the 1942 season. The only other time it has happened was in 2013, when Florida State came to Clemson. The Seminoles were ranked No. 3 by AP and No. 4 in the coaches poll, while Clemson was No. 5 in both polls. Florida State, who went on to win the national championship that year, won 51-14. While this is just the second top-five matchup in Memorial Stadium history, it is the fifth meeting of top-12 teams in Memorial Stadium in the last five years. Clemson has won two of the previous four, a win over Georgia in 2013 and a win over Notre Dame in 2015. The top-five matchup features ESPN College GameDay in town for the fifth time in Clemson history. The Tigers are 3-1 the previous trips for the program, including last season’s win over Notre Dame.

SERIES HISTORY Clemson holds a 2-0 lead in the series with Louisville. The two teams first played in 2014, when Louisville joined the ACC. The Tigers came away with a thrilling 23-17 victory at Death Valley. The Cardinals had fourth-and-goal from the two with 27 seconds remaining, but DeShawn Williams batted away a pass on the play. The Cardinals actually had second-and-goal from the one, but the Tiger defense rose to the occasion.

JORDAN LEGGETT HAULED IN A SCORING CATCH IN CLEMSON’S 20-17 WIN AT LOUISVILLE LAST YEAR.

2

The game was defensive in nature, as the two teams combined for just 22 first downs, 124 rushing yards and 493 yards of total offense. The two teams were a combined 3-33 on third down and there were 22 punts. Clemson defeated Louisville 20-17 at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium in 2015. Deshaun Watson passed for

199 yards and two touchdowns and gained 54 yards on the ground to key the offense. He tossed scoring passes to Hunter Renfrow and Jordan Leggett. Clemson was in control, but Traveon Samuel had a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 9:41 left in the game to narrow the Tiger lead to three points.

TODAY’S HONOREES

HONORARY CAPTAINS

Nathan Gressette was a three-year letterman and co-captain of Clemson’s first ACC team in 1953. He was a starter on the defensive line in 1952 and the offensive line in 1953. He started every game his final year in 1953 and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles after that season. He was also invited to play in the College All-Star Game in Chicago, Ill., against the defending NFL champion Detroit Lions. Like fellow honorary captain Randy Smith, Gressette has gone on to a career in medicine and lives in Greenville, S.C. Smith was Clemson’s starting center on the 1965 ACC championship team. He started all 10 games that year, and at the end of the season, he was drafted by the New Jets in the AFL and the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL. He still had another year of eligibility with Clemson in 1966, but he opted to enroll in medical school. Smith has had a remarkable career in medicine, including many trips to developing countries serving as a volunteer surgeon. Smith was the recipient of an honorary doctorate degree from Clemson in 1997 and received a Distinguished Service Award from the Clemson Alumni Association in 2008. He now practices medicine in Augusta, Ga.

PROFESSOR-OF-THE-GAME Dr. Patrick McMillan is the Hilliard Professor of Environmental Sustainability in the College of Agriculture, Forestry & Life Sciences. He serves as director of the South Carolina Botanical Garden, but he is perhaps most familiar through his Emmy award-winning television program, “Expeditions with Patrick McMillan,” which has been on the air since 2007. McMillan had also served as a lecturer in forestry and environmental conservation. His area of primary focus is in engaging the public, especially

young people, in the issues of conservation and science. The research interests of McMillan are in public education and mass communication of environmental science topics, management of rare and endangered species and habitats as well as questions pertaining to defining species boundaries and concepts in plants.

STAFF MEMBER-OF-THE-GAME Dr. Della Sprowl is the state program leader for evaluation, accountability and staff development in the Public Service & Agriculture office of the College of Agriculture, Forestry & Life Sciences. She coordinates data collection to ensure proper accountability and assists in training and professional development for extension agents. Sprowl is active on campus in a number of areas, including collaboration with the associate director of sustainability to determine an appropriate method to share environmental sustainability information with students in the residence halls/apartment areas, developing an evaluation instrument to determine if students gained enough information to make personal behavioral changes, administering a sustainability assessment and coordinating oncampus initiatives in sustainability.

HERO-OF-THE-GAME Brigadier general Carroll Allen graduated from Clemson in 1950. After extensive training, he spent two tours in Korea and received numerous awards and decorations during his career, including Legion of Merritt, Meritorious Service Medal and Army Accommodation Medal. In addition, a portion of Highway 917 in Latta, S.C., was named in his honor.

CLEMSON’S DEFENSE WILL MATCH UP AGAINST THE NATION’S HIGHESTSCORING OFFENSE IN LOUISVILLE, WHO IS AVERAGING 63.5 POINTS PER GAME.

The Cardinals had a chance to tie, but John Wallace missed a 38-yard field goal. A late drive for Louisville was thwarted when Kevin Dodd had a sack and Jadar Johnson ended the game with an interception.

CARDINAL OFFENSE VS. TIGER DEFENSE Much of the talk about today’s game has been the matchup between Louisville’s offense and Clemson’s defense. Louisville leads the nation in scoring (63.5), a figure that would be an NCAA record if the season ended today. The Cardinals also average a national-best 9.0 yards per play, including a national-best 7.8 yards per carry. Everyone talks about Louisville’s ability to throw the ball with Lamar Jackson, but the Cardinals are averaging 318.3 rushing yards per game, third highest in the nation. Clemson’s defense is fifth in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 11.0 points per game, and third in total defense, allowing 218.5 yards per game. The Tigers are also second in pass efficiency defense and second in yards per play allowed (3.4).

LOUISVILLE UPDATE Louisville began the season ranked No. 19 in the preseason AP poll, but it did not take Bobby Petrino’s team long to move into the top five. The Cardinals are ranked No. 3 by AP and No. 4 in the coaches poll. They have been outstanding on both sides of the ball. Louisville is first in the nation in total offense and scoring offense, ninth in third-down defense, 13th in total defense and 16th in tackles for loss. The leader of the offense is Lamar Jackson, who has 25 touchdowns (13 passing, 12 rushing) in four games. In terms of point responsibility, that comes out to 37.5 points per game, the best figure in the nation. Jackson nearly became the first FBS player in history with 400 passing yards and 200 rushing yards in a game when the Cardinals beat Syracuse in the second game of the year. He is fifth in the nation in passing touchdowns and first in the nation in rushing touchdowns. Jackson is averaging 8.6 yards per carry, higher than most quarterbacks average per pass attempt. James Quick is averaging 90 receiving yards per game. Quick, Jaylen Smith and Jamari Staples all average over 20 yards per reception. Josh Harvey-Clemons leads the defense with 7.3 tackles per game, while James Hearn is 10th in the nation in sacks (4.5).

CLOSE WINS Clemson has defeated Louisville each of the last two years by seven points or less. This is the first time the Tigers have done that since 2006 and 2007, when

LAST WEEK’S RESULTS

Clemson downed Florida State by scores of 27-20 and 24-18, respectively. The Tigers defeated the Cardinals 23-17 in 2014 and 20-17 in 2015. If Clemson defeats Louisville by seven points or less this year, it would be just the second time in history Clemson has defeated the same team by seven points or less three years in a row. The only time it has happened came against Duke from 1965-67. Clemson won the 1965 game 3-2, the 1966 game 9-6 and the 1967 game 13-7. Overall, Clemson has beaten the same team in consecutive years by seven points or less 18 times in school history, but just six times in the last 30 years.

SWINNEY VS. TOP-10 TEAMS Clemson takes on another top-10 team today when No. 3 Louisville comes to Memorial Stadium. Clemson has had a lot of success against top-10 teams in the Dabo Swinney era. In fact, Clemson is 9-5 under Swinney against teams ranked in the top 10 of at least one of the polls. It is interesting to note that Swinney has not built up this top-10 record at home. Only two of the nine victories over a top-10 squad have come at home. Five wins have been at neutral sites and two wins have been at opponent Clemson is 7-6-1 (.536) alltime on October 1.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF HOWARD’S ROCK


HOWARD'S

ROCK SOLID

Tradition MANY PEOPLE HAVE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ONE OF THE GRANDEST TRADITIONS IN SPORTS. BY SAM BLACKMAN

HOW IT ALL STARTED One of the most celebrated entrances in sports is Clemson’s tradition of rubbing Howard’s Rock and running down the Hill. Described as “the most exciting 25 seconds in college football” by Brent Musburger in 1985, it all started due to basic geography with the playing of the first game on Sept. 19, 1942. The 40 Tigers on the 1942 sophomore-dominated team (many upperclassmen had been drafted into the military in 1941) dressed in the basement of Fike Fieldhouse, which is still standing just a few yards across the street and up the Hill from the east endzone. The team walked down Williamson Road, entered the stadium and went diagonally across the Hill to the Clemson sideline. When the team arrived, the fans in attendance stood up and cheered. The team did calisthenics and pregame warmups, and then the game started an hour later. Little did the 1942 edition of the Tiger football team know that an insignificant run down a hill to the field established a nationally recognized tradition that September afternoon. On gameday, work on the stadium was still ongoing. “The thing I remember most was that we hung the gates at 1 p.m., and played at 2 p.m.,” said head coach Frank Howard. “We barely finished the stadium in time to have the game.” Howard gave his team an inspiring mission during his pregame talk according to the late Bill Hunter, who was a freshman on that team. “Coach Howard said, 'Boys, this is the first game in the new stadium. Clemson will be playing on this field for many years to come. I want us to form a reputation that nobody wants to play at Clemson. I want to win all of them on this field.’” The extremely enthused Tiger squad used some geometry and unknowingly began the greatest of Clemson traditions. “We got dressed and came out of Fike Fieldhouse,” recalled Hunter. “The closest way to the stadium was the Hill, so we came down the street and ran down the bank the closest way...not down the middle like they do now, but diagonally from the top left corner of the Hill towards our sideline. “The first time, it was exciting to have those Clemson people there. Our fans stood up and hollered. That made you feel good.” The determined Tigers had an easy time winning over Presbyterian College that day. Butch Butler gained 192 yards for the Tigers to lead the cause. He scored the first points at Memorial Stadium, bolting 75 yards in the first quarter for a touchdown. The Tigers were proud after that game, according to Hunter. “We were mighty glad about winning that first game. We talked about that tradition coach Howard had discussed. Charles Wright and Hawk Craig, who were the captains, spoke about that winning home tradition.”

WHO WAS SAM JONES?

FRANK HOWARD

Samuel Columbus Jones, a Clemson alumnus, picked up a rock in Death Valley, Calif., on the side of the road and gave the token to his friend, Howard, in the mid 1960s. It was a simple gesture that would have profound effects on the program within a few short months. Little did Jones know that this small act of giving would lead to so much publicity and recognition for his beloved school. He had no idea that the rock he brought back across the United States in his little red Ford Falcon would be such a national legacy and be an object of admiration for thousands of Tiger fans. His love for the school was obvious from the start. He graduated from Clemson in 1919 after an active career in the corps of cadets and as a student journalist. He obtained the rank of captain and was editor in chief of The Chronicle, Clemson’s literary paper. While at Clemson, he was a member of the track team, where he was called “Swifty,” a nickname that followed him throughout his life. He also had the distinction of being one of the charter members of IPTAY. Jones taught agriculture and was a land appraiser who worked with Clemson University in the purchasing of land. His last 20 years of work were with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He was a U.S. Army veteran of World War I and was a former president of the South Carolina Retired Federal Employees Association. In the mid 1960s, Jones gave the rock to Howard. It was presented to Howard with Jones, saying, “Here's a rock from Death Valley, California to Death Valley, South Carolina.” Howard used the rock as a doorstop in his office for several months. In the summer of 1966, while cleaning out his

office, Howard noticed the rock and told IPTAY executive director Gene Willimon, “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.” It was also said that Howard tripped over the rock, so he wanted the rock to be removed quickly. Luckily, Willimon thought that rock should be treated better than that, especially one from Death Valley, Calif., that was given to Howard by a loyal Tiger fan. So Willimon had the rock placed on a concrete pedestal at the top of the Hill.

HOWARD'S ROCK DEBUT On Sept. 24, 1966, Howard’s Rock was firmly in place for the first time as the Tigers ran down the Hill. But the

HOWARD

team did not rub the Rock before making the run prior to the Virginia game. Clemson was defending co-champion of the ACC, and the outlook for 1966 was bright. The Tigers had never lost to Virginia on the gridiron, so the Clemson fans and players were excited about the start of the season. But the start of that game was not very good for the home team. Clemson lost five fumbles and gave up 429 yards of total offense to the Cavaliers, who were coming off a 4-6 season. Clemson had some early success behind quarterback Jimmy Addison, the rushing of Buddy Gore and a 68-yard punt return by Frank Liberatore, but Virginia held a 35-18 lead with 3:06 remaining in the third quarter. Virginia quarterback Bob

Davis was picking the Tiger secondary apart. Clemson mounted a comeback in the fourth quarter. Edgar McGee, Phil Rogers and Wayne Bell had key receptions to bring Clemson to a 35-33 deficit with approximately five minutes left to play. Faced with a third down and short yardage on its own 25, Addison made the play of the day. “We called a pass play that had resulted in several completions to our split end, Wayne Bell, in an earlier game,” explained Addison. “Wayne found an open spot between the linebackers, and the Virginia cornerback came from his deep position to cover him. Jacky Jackson, who had run from his tailback position down the left sideline, was open and made a beautiful catch behind that cornerback and outran the safety to the endzone.” That 75-yard scoring play gave the Tigers a 40-35 lead with 3:49 left, and it proved to be the winning touchdown. “I thought I had overthrown Jackson, but he put it in second gear and ran underneath the pass,” added Addison. However, the Cavaliers had one more chance and Davis marched Virginia down the field. With 1:49 left in the game, he had a second-and-10 on the Tiger 14. But his pass was intercepted by Phil Marion, and the Tigers ran out the clock. How amazing was the performance of the respective quarterbacks? Addison was the AP Back-of-the-Week, while Davis was named Sports Illustrated Backof-the-Week. It is probably the only time two opposing players in the same game have been named national players-ofthe-week in college football history. Davis set the ACC record for pass attempts and completions in the game, records that have since been broken. He was 26-48 passing for 312 yards, while Addison was 12-19 passing for 283 yards and three touchdowns. “As someone suggested on the sideline during the fourth quarter, the university should have run everyone out of the stadium before the fourth quar-


ter and made them pay to re-enter,” laughed Addison. It was truly a game worth two admissions. It was a great way to christen Howard’s Rock.

RUBBING THE ROCK At some point during the 1966 season, Howard referred to the Rock as Howard’s Rock. The tradition really took off the next season. On the Friday before the 1967 home opener against Wake Forest, Howard told his players that if they touched the Rock before running down the Hill, they would receive supernatural powers. Howard also told the Tigers, “If you give me 110-percent effort, you can touch the Rock, but if you don’t, keep your filthy hands off of my Rock.” The next day, Howard told the story on his weekly television show, and the media picked up on it. Thanks to the genius of sports information director Bob Bradley, that story spread nationally. He told it to anyone who would listen. It helped that Howard coached Clemson to its third straight ACC title that year. How many games have been won because of the Rock? We may never know. Jones’ gift was one-of-a-kind and has withstood the test of time. “He would have never thought the Rock he gave to coach Howard would have become so famous,” said Jones’ daughter, Celana Massey. “He always said Clemson was special and meant so much to him. He told me that when he picked up the Rock in Death Valley, Calif., it was very hot and he had to use two handkerchiefs to pick it up and put it in the car.” Jones’ grandson, Gary Massey, who played football at Clemson in the mid 1980s, remembers his grandfather as a special gentleman. “I’m really proud of my grandfather,” said Massey. “When I was in school, he lived at the Clemson House and I enjoyed visiting him. He was a special man and did so many interesting things in his life.”

It would be safe to say that pulling off the side of the road in the desert that day in the mid 1960s and picking up a few rocks was one of the events that Jones never knew would be so important to Clemson. Jones died on July 16, 1990 and is buried in the cemetery at Old Stone Church in nearby Pendleton. In his life, he accomplished many things, and one of the most famous was giving the gift of a rock to Howard.

BEN ANDERSON'S IDEA The history of Clemson’s famous entrance is well documented, and the names Frank Howard and Gene Willimon have been prominently mentioned earlier in this story. But one former Tiger deserves much of the credit for the tradition as it exists today. Ben Anderson came to Clemson as a student in 1969 and walked on to the

football team. He impressed the coaches immediately and started all 33 games in his Tiger career (freshmen were ineligible), one of the few walk-ons in program history to start every game in his career. In 1970, Clemson opened a new dressing room in the west endzone. Because it was now inside the stadium, running down the Hill was no longer the most efficient way to get to the field. So that year, the team began entering the field from that new locker room door. So for the home games of 1970, 1971 and the first four of 1972, that is how Clemson got to the field. Prior to his final game as a senior in 1972, Anderson, a three-time Academic All-ACC selection and second-team Academic All-American, led a small group of seniors to head coach Hootie Ingram’s office the week of the South Carolina game, the final contest of Anderson’s career. One of the players who attended the

BEN ANDERSON PLAYED A LARGE PART IN WHAT WE TODAY CALL “RUNNING DOWN THE HILL” RIGHT BEFORE KICKOFF.

meeting was teammate Bobby Johnson, who went on to a long coaching career and is now a member of the College Football Playoff committee. Anderson died of lung cancer at the age of 63 on May 16, 2015 after a five-year battle, and Johnson, his close friend for 46 years, gave a memorable eulogy at Anderson’s funeral. “I want to set the record straight,” said Johnson. “It was Ben Anderson who said we should run down the Hill for our final game. I went along to the meeting as support, but this was all Ben’s idea. He had it all planned out. It was like he was trying his first law case in front of a judge.” Ingram liked the idea and then worked with administrators on the plan to bring the team around the stadium on buses to the top of the Hill just before kickoff. When Clemson had run down the Hill from 1942-69, it was not quite as celebrated, because the team did that entrance for pregame warmups, over an hour prior to the game. The pregame tradition did not occur just minutes before kickoff until that 1972 South Carolina contest, and that important aspect of the tradition was Anderson’s idea. The Tigers went on to defeat South Carolina 7-6 that rainy afternoon. In the spring of 1973, Anderson received the ACC’s Jim Weaver Award as the outstanding student-athlete in any sport. He was also the recipient of Clemson’s Norris Award, given to the top allaround student in the school, and Frank Howard Award, given to a student-athlete for bringing honor to Clemson. He was inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame in 1997. Towards the end of his eulogy, Johnson said this to the congregation gathered at Tillman Hall. “Every time you experience that tradition, think of Ben Anderson.”

RADAKOVICH

CATCHING ON AFTER MULTIPLE YEARS AS A MEMBER OF THE MERCER FOOTBALL TEAM, GRANT RADAKOVICH GRADUATED AND IS SPENDING HIS FINAL SEASON WITH THE TIGERS AND HIS PARENTS. BY COLE LITTLE

D

ue to his father’s career, tight end Grant Radakovich has lived in a multitude of sportsoriented communities throughout his life, but none have made an impact on him quite like the Clemson community. When discussing what makes the Clemson community so different, the son of director of athletics Dan Radakovich said, “They really do take the family aspect of it very seriously. Clemson really takes pride in that.” A scholarly person both in the classroom and on the football field, Radakovich earned a finance degree from Mercer before transferring to Clemson for his final season of football eligibility. Currently pursuing an MBA, Radakovich plans to enter a career in finance or sales. A key cog on special teams, specifically the kickoff return team, his primary goal for the rest of the season is to, “keep owning and embracing my role.” An intelligent player and a solid blocker, Radakovich is a valuable commodity for Clemson’s special teams. He showed his athletic ability with an eightyard reception against SC State in Sep-

tember. He hurdled a Bulldog at the end of the run, much to the enjoyment of his teammates and Tiger fans. He has enjoyed his time at Clemson thus far, partly because of the quality

time that he has spent with his parents. But in the office, his relationship with his father is strictly business. “He’s a guy I see in the locker room now. He’s my dad, but he’s also the AD.”

Out of office, though, the father-son duo is extremely close, and he appreciates having the opportunity to balance that special relationship with his father both on campus and off. “It’s unique to be able to call and ask him to go to lunch.” Boasting a keen business sense, Radakovich’s future in the corporate world is exceptionally bright. He held an internship in the summer of 2013 with Marucci Sports, a baseball bat manufacturer, in Baton Rouge, La., and gleaned an excellent hands-on education through his responsibilities. From crunching numbers to conducting customer service calls, Radakovich was able to acquire a plethora of business skills. “Learning and finding my voice...that was what I mainly got out of that internship.” Radakovich plans to return to Mercer in order to finish his MBA in the spring and will live with his older brother, Christian, in the Atlanta area. Until then, Radakovich is fully invested in the Tigers and enjoying every moment of his final football season. After playing for three years in an upstart Mercer program, which in 2013 played its first game since 1941, Radakovich is soaking in his first experience at the FBS level this fall. The young season has already brought with it several surreal moments for Radakovich, including the most storied of Tiger football traditions. “Running down the Hill for the first time was something special and different, something that I had never experienced before.” Describing the first game of the season, a road matchup at Auburn, as “electric,” Radakovich is taking it all in for what is the end of a satisfying college career on the gridiron. Following in his father’s footsteps, he is sure to be a successful leader one day, as his ambition and determination are impossible to ignore. Though he is only wearing orange for one season, Radakovich is a Clemson man in every way.

efensive end Jaquarius Brice did not suit up for a regulation football game until his final year at Lancaster (S.C.) High School, but he caught on quickly enough to warrant an attempt at walking on for the Tigers as a sophomore. Now a senior, Brice’s quick assimilation into the game clearly paid off, as he has garnered the chance to play alongside a bevy of special talent on the defensive line during his college tenure. Brice smiled as he recalled his favorite learning experience as a member of the team. “One specific move that I learned was Kevin Dodd’s swipe move. I tried to take that move and use it.” Hoping to “help the team as much as possible” throughout the rest of the season, Brice will always have fond memories of his college football experience, specifically last season’s Orange Bowl. “Going down to Miami and hanging with the guys...everything about that was pretty fun.”

A construction science & management major, Brice is considering enrolling in an architecture graduate program next year. Brice, who joined the team during the fall of the 2014 season, has greatly enjoyed being a part of such an illustrious stretch in Clemson football history. Claiming that the family atmosphere associated with football was the ultimate incentive that sparked him to stick with football, Brice has enjoyed his time on the close-knit Tiger squad. While Brice is a valued member of the scout team, constantly searching for ways in which he can help the team improve in some facet, he cannot help but grin when discussing his aspirations for in-game action. “If they throw me in there, hey, that works.” Regardless of his playing time, Brice has left a mark on the Clemson program with his upbeat, team-first attitude. As a result, he has proved to be a true Tiger through and through.

TATKO

THE LONG SNAPPER GAVE FOOTBALL ONE MORE SHOT, AND IT HAS PAID OFF IMMEASURABLY. BY COLE LITTLE

I “

guess I didn’t want to end my football career in high school.” Bradley Tatko’s matter-of-fact answer when asked what compelled him to want to walk on at Clemson is indicative of his passion for the game. A state champion while serving as an offensive lineman and long snapper at Greenwood (S.C.) High School, Tatko decided to walk on as a long snapper for the Tigers in the spring of his freshman year at Clemson. Since then, Tatko has learned under the likes of fellow long snappers Michael Sobeski and Jim Brown, something that he has thoroughly enjoyed and not taken for granted. “I’ve been able to learn a lot from those guys when they were here.” Working alongside veteran specialists, such as the aforementioned long snappers, has vastly improved Tatko’s play since he became a member of the

team, and the close camaraderie that he has been a part of is something he will never forget. “We really coach each other.” Tatko, who majors in biological sciences and minors in chemistry, plans to attend medical school next year. However, before Tatko turns his attention to passing his boards, the senior wants his tenure with the Clemson program to go out on a high note, saying that his ultimate goal for this 2016 season is to “go out with a national championship.” Speaking on what it means to have been a part of the Tigers’ recent success, Tatko stated, “It’s been cool to be here when we’ve really hit our stride.” In high school, Tatko played in three consecutive state championship games and finally came away victorious as a senior. He hopes to finish off his Clemson career in a similar fashion.

ames P. Clements became Clemson University’s 15th president on Dec. 31, 2013. Since his arrival, the value of the Tiger Paw has never been higher, thanks to an increasing academic reputation and the national exposure from our recent success in athletics. Under Clements’ leadership, Clemson has broken records in admissions, enrollment, research, facilities development, athletics, graduation and retention rates and fundraising, including the successful completion of the $1 billion Will to Lead capital campaign. Clements is a nationally recognized leader in higher education who has served as president of a university in three different athletic conferences (Big East, Big 12, ACC), where he is also the current chair of the ACC Council of Presidents. Before he came to Clemson, Clements served as president of West Virginia University for nearly five years. During that time, WVU set significant records in private fundraising, enrollment and research funding. He was a leader in West Virginia, chairing the boards of the West Virginia United Health System, the WVU Hospitals and the WVU Research Corporation. And while he loved his time at WVU, he decided he would leave Morgantown for only one institution...Clemson University. Clements was born in Arlington, Va., but spent the majority of his life in Maryland before relocating to West Virginia and until his move to Clemson. The grandson of a coal miner and firefighter and son to parents who taught him and his three older siblings that education was the key to a better life, Clements is a first-generation college graduate. This was a key reason he pursued a life and career in higher education...to

Prior to his service at WVU, he served as provost and vice president for academic affairs, vice president for economic & community outreach and the Robert W. Deutsch Distinguished Professor of Information Technology at Towson University, the second largest university in the University System of Maryland, where he was a four-time winner of the Faculty Member-of-the-Year award, given by Towson students. Clements’ Successful Project Management book is now in its seventh edition, is published in multiple languages and used in numerous countries. His other leadership positions include co-chair of the National Advisory Council on Innovation & Entrepreneurship, the only university president on the board; current member and past chair of the board of directors for the Association of Public & Land-Grant Universities, North America’s oldest higher education association; and board positions with the American Council on Education, the Business-Higher Education Forum and the Council on Competitiveness. Clements also serves on the executive committee of APLU’s Commission of Innovation, Competitiveness & Economic Prosperity. He previously chaired the ACE Commission on Leadership. Clements and his wife, Beth, have been married for 25 years and have four children, Ty, Hannah, Maggie and Grace, and a son-in-law, Tanner Coombs.

Director of Athletics

DAN RADAKOVICH CLEMSON’S 13TH DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS, IN HIS FIFTH SEASON IN TIGERTOWN, HAS OVER 28 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AT PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

B

y nearly every measure, Dan Radakovich led Clemson to one of the best athletic years in school history in 2015-16. With a fall semester featuring berths in the national championship games in both football and men’s soccer and spring ACC titles in men’s golf and baseball, the Tigers recorded their highest finish in the Learfield Director’s Cup in a decade. In the classroom, 78 student-athletes earned degrees and, while competing for national titles, both football and men’s soccer registered record GPAs. Clemson’s Graduation Success Rate and Academic Progress Rate continue to be among the nation’s best, as football, men’s basketball and women’s golf were recognized among the top-10 percent nationally in APR, with football earning the distinction for the sixth consecutive year. Named the 13th director of athletics in Clemson history on Dec. 1, 2012, Radakovich has continuously led the Tiger athletic department to high achievements both on the field and in the classroom while developing significant upgrades in finance and facilities. Since his arrival in December 2013, the athletic department has received approvals for $176 million in facility improvements and increased spending on direct student-athlete development programs, including nutrition, mental health and professional development by $2.4 million. His department has increased overall revenue from $69 million in fiscal year 2014 to a budgeted $99.7 million in fiscal year 2017. Radakovich came to Clemson with a wealth of experience after serving in sig-

nificant 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 28 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. Following the 2014-15 academic year, Radakovich was named a finalist for the SportsBusiness Journal Athletics Director-of-the-Year award. 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. Radakovich came to Clemson from Georgia Tech, where he served with dis-

tinction 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 either NCAA Tourney play or bowl games in his six years. 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 a national championship women’s tennis program in 2007, just its second team title in history. There were 14 ACC titles celebrated in addition to nine regularseason conference or division titles.

Jacket program. The John & Mary Brock Football Practice Facility, which opened in 2011, and McCamish Pavilion, which opened for basketball in 2012, are two of the top facilities of their kind in college athletics. Radakovich also initiated the Athletic Director’s Initiative Fund, started in 2006, which raised cash and pledges of more than $12 million. The Aliquippa, Pa., native was first made aware of Tiger athletics through the basketball exploits of Butch Zatezalo, who was from the same town. Zatezalo was a three-time All-ACC Tiger whose legendary 25-point scoring nights received a lot of attention in Pennsylvania in the 1960s when Radakovich was a youth. Prior to his tenure at Georgia Tech, Radakovich worked as a senior associate athletic director at Louisiana State from 2001-06. He had many responsibilities that dealt with the football program and worked closely with then head coach Nick Saban, including the year (2003) the Tigers won the national title. He became a director of athletics for the first time at American University in Washington, D.C., in 2000. Between 1994 and 2000, Radakovich 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’s degree in finance. He was also a football letterman and student coach with the Crimson Hawk program. 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 2015 Mercer graduate who joined the Clemson football program over the summer.

Head Coach

DABO SWINNEY DABO SWINNEY, THE 2015 HOME DEPOT NATIONAL COACH-OF-THE-YEAR, AND HIS ALL-IN APPROACH HAS LED THE PROGRAM TO RECORD-SETTING HEIGHTS.

T

here is a strong coaching heritage over the 120 years of Clemson football that dates to the early 1900s, when John Heisman led the program. Jess Neely and Frank Howard continued the winning

and joined Heisman in the College Football Hall of Fame. Danny Ford, a finalist for the hall of fame in 2017, led Clemson to the 1981 national championship. Dabo Swinney has been at Clemson for just eight years as head coach, but he

has cemented himself among the Tiger legends of the past. He is the first person to say that the program has not reached all of its goals just yet, but he took the 2015 Tigers to the brink of winning the program’s second national title.

Swinney guided Clemson to the No. 1 spot in every College Football Playoff poll in 2015 and led the Tigers to their first national championship game appearance under the new format after his team defeated Oklahoma 37-17 in the Orange Bowl. The Tigers led Alabama in the fourth quarter of the championship game, but came up just short in an epic game in Glendale, Ariz. Following the team’s 14-1 record and No. 2 final ranking, Swinney was the recipient of 10 national and two ACC coach-of-the-year honors. The win over Oklahoma made him just the second coach in college football history (joining Alabama’s Bear Bryant) to beat the Sooners in two bowl games. Clemson’s 13th win, which came against North Carolina in the ACC Championship Game, established a school record. It was the Tigers’ 15th ACC title, matching Florida State for most in history. All told, the Tigers defeated four teams that finished the season in the top 15 of both polls, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, North Carolina and Florida State. Swinney coached Deshaun Watson to a record-setting sophomore season in


2015. Watson became Clemson’s first Heisman Trophy finalist after becoming the first player in FBS history to total 4,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a season. Watson was the ACC Player-of-theYear and MVP of both the ACC Championship Game and Orange Bowl. He won the Davey O’Brien Award and Manning Award and was Clemson’s second ACC Athlete-of-the-Year in history. From 2011-15, Clemson compiled a 56-12 record, the most wins in a fiveyear period in school history. Thirty-six of the victories came against ACC teams. The 2015 seniors finished their careers with a 46-8 record, including a 29-4 ACC mark. Clemson was in the top-10 percent of APR scores and the final top 25 of the AP and USA Today polls in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the only FBS program that could make that claim. In eight years (seven full seasons) as the Tigers’ head coach, Swinney has directed Clemson to a 75-27 overall record (.735) and a 47-14 ACC regularseason mark (.770). He has also led the Tigers to the ACC Championship Game three times, won two ACC titles, won or shared four ACC Atlantic Division titles and won five bowl games. With the 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl win over Oklahoma and head coach Bob Stoops, Swinney became the first and only coach in history to win three bowl games in consecutive seasons over teams whose head coaches had previously won a national title. The 2015

THE SWINNEY FAMILY - DABO AND WIFE, KATHLEEN, ALONG WITH DREW, CLAY AND WILL.

Orange Bowl win over Oklahoma made it four in a row. Defense was the key to success for the 2014 Tigers, as they led the nation in total defense, pass efficiency defense, first downs allowed, third-down conver-

sion percentage defense and tackles for loss along with being in the top five in many other defensive categories. Defensive end Vic Beasley was named ACC Defensive Player-of-the-Year as well as being a finalist for multiple national

awards and a first-team All-American thanks to his 21.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. Beasley and Stephone Anthony were both first-round draft picks in 2015. 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 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 in the top 20 of every BCS standing from 2011 to 2013. Tajh Boyd broke many Clemson career records for quarterbacks thanks in part to 2013, when he completed 68.5 percent of his passes for 3,851 yards and 34 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 receptions 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 Swinney’s Tigers when looking at the overall consistency of the program. 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

23


consecutive wins at Memorial Stadium (13) was also established, as was the record for consecutive wins by 14+ points (7). 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. The 2012 campaign featured a record-setting offense. Clemson had six of the 11 offensive players on the All-ACC first team chosen by the media and set over 80 Tiger team and individual records. Leading the way was Boyd, the ACC Player-of-the-Year. The quarterback joined center Dalton Freeman as firstteam All-Americans by AFCA, just the third time since 1945 that the AFCA first-team All-America quarterback and center were from the same school. Boyd’s favorite wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, had 18 receiving touchdowns, second most in the nation, and was a second-team All-American. He was a big reason Clemson scored a then school-record 533 points. 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. It tied for the highest-ranked 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.

Swinney was named Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year in 2011 to become the first Tiger head coach to win a national coach-of-the-year award since 1981, when Ford directed Clemson to the national title. Dwayne Allen received the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end and totaled 50 receptions for 598 yards and eight touchdowns. Boyd set the school record for total yards (4,046), passing yards (3,828) and passing touchdowns (33), all marks he eclipsed

in subsequent seasons. Andre Branch, a finalist for the Hendricks Award, had an ACC-high 17 tackles for loss and an ACC-high 10.5 sacks. Watkins was one of the most dynamic freshmen in the nation. The ACC Rookie-of-the-Year totaled 82 receptions for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns despite missing one game due to injury. Watkins was also an AP First-Team All-American. Swinney became just the second Tiger coach to lead Clemson’s program to a bowl game in his first two full years

as head coach, joining his predecessor, Tommy Bowden. The 2010 season included wins over bowl teams Georgia Tech, Maryland and NC State. The team excelled defensively in 2010 and was 13th in the nation in scoring defense and in the top 25 in total defense and passing defense. 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. Swinney was named ACC coach-of-the-year by Sporting News. He totaled nine wins, second most among FBS coaches in their first full year. They also tied for fourth most in ACC history for a first-year head coach. The main reason Clemson was so outstanding on special teams was the play of college football’s most dynamic player (Spiller) in 2009. The Tiger running back was named MVP of the ACC in 2009 and was a consensus All-American. He had five kick returns for touchdowns during the 2009 season, an all-time Clemson record, and established the NCAA record for kickoff returns for touchdowns in a career (7). In October 2008, Swinney was named Clemson interim head coach, replacing 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. On Dec. 1, 2008, the interim tag was removed from the title and he was named the program’s head coach. At the time, there had been 28 interim head coaches at the FBS level since 1970 and those coaches had combined for a record of 26-86-2. Only one of those 28 interim coaches posted a winning record, and that was Swinney.

The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his 13 years as an assistant or head coach, the Tigers have finished in the top 25 of the polls nine times and have 24 wins over top-25 teams, including victories over Florida State (6), Auburn (2), Miami (Fla.) (2), Oklahoma (2), Virginia Tech (2), Georgia (1), Louisiana State (1), Ohio State (1) and Tennessee (1) during his tenure in Tigertown. 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 12 of his 13 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. It marked the second straight year that he was lauded by the website as a top-25 national recruiter. 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, where 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 and coached five seasons there on a full-time basis. Swinney was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers and tight ends in 1996. The following year, he solely coached the tight ends. 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 (18), Drew (16) and Clay (13).

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 20th season at Clemson, makes sure that all Tiger gridders are ready to compete against the top teams in the nation. In his first 19 years in Tigertown, Clemson has been to 18 bowl games and he has coached 30 strength All-Americans on the gridiron. It is the fourth major facilities construction since he joined the program, an example of his desire to keep Clemson at the forefront of strength training. 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, fueled by director of football nutrition Paul Harrington, that give the Tigers 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. In addition, the staff includes graduate assistant Drew McDuffie and five student administrative assistants - Mark Estes, Brennan Goodnature, Pat McNamara, Will Paruta and Steven Wilson.

MEMORIAL STADIUM D E A T H

V A L L E Y

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.

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, Bleacher Report 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 86,092 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 the 1983 season. In 2015, Clemson was 14th in the nation in average home attendance. The legend was further enhanced in 2014 and 2015 when the Tigers had perfect 7-0 home records. Defending national champions are 0-3 all-time at Memorial Stadium. Clemson had a 13game winning streak at home from 2011 to 2012, setting a record for the facility. The Tigers entered the 2016 season with 33 wins in their last 35 home games and a school-record 16-game winning streak. 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 282 games in 74 years and have won over 73 percent of the contests (282-101-7). 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.

76

“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. When the original part of the stadium was built in the early 1940s, much of the work was done by scholarship athletes, including football players. The first staking out of the stadium was done by two members of the football team, A.N. Cameron and Hugh Webb. Webb returned to Clemson years later to be an architecture professor and Cameron went on to become a civil engineer in Louisiana. The construction of Memorial Stadium did not proceed without problems. One afternoon during the clearing of the land, a young player proudly announced that he was not allergic to poison oak. He then proceeded to attack the poison oak with a swing blade, throwing the plants to and fro. The next day, the boy was swollen twice his size and was hospitalized. There are many other stories about the stadium, including one that Frank Howard put a chew of tobacco in each corner as the concrete poured. Howard said that the seeding of the grass caused a few problems. “About 40 people and I laid sod on the field,” he said. “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 largest on-campus stadiums in the country. In 2006, the WestZone was added, an area that contains locker rooms, offices, a weight room and luxury club level that holds over 1,000 seats. The effect that inflation has had can be dramatically seen in the differences in stadium construction. The original part of Memorial Stadium was built at a cost of only $125,000, or $6.25 per seat. Memorial Stadium’s newest upper deck was finished in 1983 at a cost of $13.5 million, or $866 per seat. Through the years, Memorial Stadium has become known as “Death Valley” across the country. It was tagged by Presbyterian College head coach Lonnie McMillian during the late 1940s. After bringing his teams to Clemson for many 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.

RUNNING DOWN

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

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 U.S., 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

80

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, his teams were getting “killed” by the Tigers regularly. In 1948, McMillian made the remark to the press that he was taking his team to play Clemson in “Death Valley.” An occasional reference to Memorial Stadium


“THE MOST EXCITING 25 SECONDS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL”

HOWARD'S ROCK

BRENT MUSBURGER

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 74th year in the “Valley” in 2015 with a 7-0 home record, one of 12 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 Howard’s 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 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 before every home game since 1942, except for the years mentioned and the first game of 1973 (381 times entering 2016). 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.

FOOTBALL

FACILITIES BEST IS THE STANDARD A

new era of Clemson football is officially underway. Head coach Dabo Swinney and director of athletics Dan Radakovich held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the new football operations complex adjacent to the indoor practice facility in December 2015. In only a few short months, the 140,000 square foot facility has taken root on the west side of the indoor practice area, springing to life one of the nation’s premier complexes for football operations. The targeted completion for the $55 million project is early 2017. The complex will include all the elements needed to run the day-to-day operations - locker room, training room, equipment room, weight room, meeting rooms, dining hall, recruiting center and coaches offices. The plans for the new facility include a dedicated space for player development, which is currently housed in a small area where associate athletic director Jeff Davis works in the WestZone. The uniqueness of the facility does not end there. Inside, the main lobby of the operations complex will house a replica of the Hill, complete with a “Rock” at the top, that will provide a significant boost in terms of recruiting visits. The complex will also utilize plenty of outdoor space, by incorporating the geography from the Seneca River and the surrounding area. One of the biggest advantages the new facility offers is the chance to bring all of the program facets together in close proximity. “We’ve put our guys on trams yearround across the street, and there’s always a little bit of a disconnect when they’re over there and we’re in the WestZone in the summer,” said Swinney. “This allows us to have a football operations center where it all happens - the practice, the indoor facility, everything. You’re with players and interacting with them all the time. “Then on gameday, when you walk in that locker room, it’s special...seven days a year.”

OPENING THIS WINTER!

PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CENTER The centerpiece of the new operations facility will be a personal and professional development center with programs led by Clemson Ring of Honor member and current director of player relations Jeff Davis. Developing our student-athletes as leaders off the field is a hallmark of head coach Dabo Swinney's program, and the new center and programming led by Davis and his staff will put greater resources towards that mission.

PERSONAL GROWTH Identify who you are and who you aspire to be.

LIFE SKILLS Equip yourself with transferable tools for a lifestyle of excellence.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Provide opportunities to pursue purposeful employment.

FIFTH QUARTER The Fifth Quarter program provides the opportunity for football student-athletes to discover and pursue their passion in a chosen career path. Through a seven-step curriculum that spans their time at Clemson, the football student-athletes will have a variety of mentors and educational experiences that will assist them in identifying possible career paths, laying the

foundation for their professional identity, building valuable networking relationships and enhancing the professional skills needed to obtain and maintain employment. • STEP 1 - CAREER ASSESSMENT (career and personality tests, consider potential graduate schedules, speak with a counselor/advisor) • STEP 2 - MENTORSHIP (personal and professional counsel through the entire program) • STEP 3 - BUILD YOUR BRAND (mentorship, social media identity, resume writing, etc.) • STEP 4 - TRAIN (job shadowing, internships, etc.) • STEP 5 - FIND EMPLOYMENT (meaningful job searches, career fairs, Clemson Job Link) • STEP 6 - SECURE EMPLOYMENT (interviewing, networking, basic professional etiquette, LinkedIn) • STEP 7 - MAINTAIN EMPLOYMENT (working with excellence, career advancement, giving back, etc.) By completing each step of the Fifth Quarter program, our student-athletes are gaining valuable and relevant knowledge and experiences that will serve them for a lifetime. Thus, they are able to transition from student-athletes to employed professionals who are ready to become who they have sat out to be as leaders, as community servants and as men.

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

P R A C T I C E

$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

F A C I L I T Y

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 playclocks 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, will adjoin the new football operations complex, specifically the new weight room, when the project is completed.

he WestZone at Memorial Stadium, completed in 2009, has 150,000 square feet of space, among the nation’s largest facilities 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. Moving all football operations to the WestZone opened up space in the Jervey and McFadden Buildings for the other 18 Clemson sports to improve their facilities for recruiting and have more office, training, conditioning and sports medicine space. This has enhanced the performance of Tiger athletics and the 19 programs, both on and off the field of competition.

VICKERY Hall CLEMSON’S INNOVATIVE AND IMITATED VICKERY HALL WAS THE NATION’S FIRST STAND-ALONE FACILITY BUILT SOLELY TO PROVIDE ACADEMIC SUPPORT TO STUDENT-ATHLETES. IT HAS HELPED THE TIGER FOOTBALL PROGRAM SET NEW STANDARDS FOR SUCCESS IN THE CLASSROOM AND GRADUATION RATES.

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 a staff of 18 fulltime members, one graduate assistant and over 100 tutors, mentors and strategic tutors. Our mission is to address the total student-athlete by coaching our 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 dedicated to providing a cational experience by environment of respect,

programs are holistic, eduinspiring an integrity and

excellence. Under the direction of the associate athletic director for athletic academic services, Steve Duzan, the staff guides and encourages each indi-

vidual 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 percent in terms of APR scores in the classroom each of the last five seasons. Clemson is also one of only three FBS programs in the top-10 percent each of the last six years in terms of APR scores, joining Duke and Northwestern.

A TOTAL OF 129 OF THE 135 SENIOR LETTERMEN (96 PERCENT) IN DABO SWINNEY’S SEVEN 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.

COMPLIANCE T

Ask Before You Act!

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.

• 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 servic-

es (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.

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 transportation or financial assistance.

ACTIVITIES THAT HARM CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETES You may not... • Generally provide benefits that are not available to other members of the Clemson student body. • Provide extra benefits to student-athletes or their family and friends. Examples of prohibited benefits include (but not limited to): • Gifts of money, awards, food/drinks, occasional meals or other tangible items. • Free or reduced housing agreements. • Loans of money or automobiles. • Providing transportation for the student-athlete or their family and friends.

CONTACT INFORMATION Email compliance-L@clemson.edu Phone 864-656‑1580 Fax 864-656‑1243 Mailing Address P.O. Box 31; Clemson, S.C. 29633 Overnight Address Jervey Athletic Center; 100 Perimeter Road; Clemson, S.C. 29633 Website ClemsonTigers.com

• Professional services without charge or at a discount. • Promises of employment or loans following college graduation. • Sending student-athletes items to be autographed and returned or using autographed items to raise funds for high schools. • Use of ATM, credit or other types of gift cards. • Use the name/image of a current student-athlete to advertise, recommend or promote products and services.

CONSEQUENCES Violations of these NCAA, ACC and University policies can result in severe penalties, including: • Disassociation - Clemson University may permanently disassociate itself with an athletic booster. You could lose the privilege of purchasing season tickets, the privilege of being an IPTAY member or any other Clemson athleticrelated benefit deemed appropriate. • Harm to Enrolled Student-Athlete - Violations can also result in the enrolled student-athlete or entire team being unable to compete for Clemson University.

SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING Please notify compliance services immediately of any potential violations involving Clemson University.

IPTAY STA

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 against 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 total of $56.6 million in 2016. These dollars contributed by our 16,320 members directly impact the lives of our nearly 500 studentathletes 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. Since 2015, we have taken on the management and oversight of Clemson athletics’ premium seating, the IPTAY Dealer Program and the Block C Club. 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.

The Band That Shakes The Southland

TIGER BAND THE GARY WADE TIGER BAND UNSUNG HERO AWARD

I

t truly takes a village to run an organization the size of Tiger Band. The myriad of details and problems to solve can be enormous, but thankfully there are many people and students who work selflessly behind the scenes to ensure that the “Tiger Band show must go on!” Last season, one of our students worked so diligently out of the limelight that the directors believed a new award was warranted. As we began to think about what to call this award, we realized there is someone in athletics that fills the same role there and has helped Tiger Band over the years with all sorts of issues. He is such a positive person and always willing to help us, so we aptly named this new award in honor of him, called “The Gary Wade Ti-

ger Band Unsung Hero Award.” Wade is the assistant athletic director for facilities and is the former strength & conditioning coach for the Detroit Lions and Tiger football. Ten of Wade’s former graduate assistants

at Clemson went on to be head strength & conditioning coaches at the college or NFL level. Nowadays, Wade is all over the athletic complexes at Clemson keeping the facilities in top condition. On numerous occasions, Wade has helped Tiger Band, and he does so always with a smile and comment of appreciation for what the band provides to the Clemson community. There is a student in the band who exemplifies Wade’s service and became the first recipient of the new award. CJ Rimsky is a trumpet player and a member of the Clemson chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, the national band service fraternity. As service chair, he is responsible for making sure that all fraternity members keep up with all the service they provide to the band, such as making sure the practice field is lined for rehearsals, having water wherever the band goes, setting up the indoor practice space and keeping the band facilities clean and organized. Rimsky goes above and beyond that simple description by taking on numerous projects on his own, and doing it

MEN’S GOLF

CARSON

YOUNG LANGDALE AUSTIN

THE DUO HELPED THE TIGERS WIN THE ACC TITLE LAST SEASON. THIS YEAR, THE SENIOR LEADERS LOOK TO DO THE SAME.

BY TIM BOURRET

I

f Larry Penley was asked to name the least stressful and least amount of money he has spent for a recruiting class in his 34 years as Clemson’s head golf coach, he could give a quick answer. “Carson Young and Austin Langdale of Pendleton, S.C.,” would be his response. The leaders of the 2016-17 golf team grew up in the shadow of the Clemson campus and were exposed to the tradition and success of the school’s program at a very early age. Young and Langdale got their start in golf as kids at nearby Boscobel Country Club, the practice home of many great Tigers over the years. “We watched Carson and Austin from the time they were three feet tall,” said Penley with a laugh. “And they were watching us. “From the time they were kids, they would watch our players practice at Boscobel because that is where they played all the time growing up. They both came from Clemson families, so we have known about them and they have known about us forever.” Both Young and Langdale had outstanding high school careers and junior careers, so it was natural for them to come in and have an impact on the Tiger program. As freshmen, they both saw considerable action and helped

the Tigers to an NCAA Regional berth. As sophomores, they were starters on a team that reached the NCAA National Tournament. Then as juniors, they were All-ACC players and helped the Tigers to three wins, including the program’s first ACC Tournament title since 2004. The team finished tied for 14th at the NCAA Tournament, its best mark since 2008. “We have made improvements every year they have been here,” said Penley. “I am really excited to see what is ahead for their senior seasons. They have represented our program so well and are great

examples to our younger guys. We have many freshmen and sophomores who will be in the lineup, and they will be terrific leaders for them.” Young is coming off his best summer, as he shot 30-under par in four events and won the South Carolina Amateur for the second time. Last year, he played in all 11 events and had a 73.39 stroke average. Capable of going low any day, the Academic All-ACC player had seven rounds in the 60s, including a 68 on the final day of the ACC Tournament, the top round by a Tiger on that Sunday.

LANGDALE

YOUNG

Langdale had a 72.2 stroke average last season, second only to All-American Stephen Behr Jr.’s 71.9 average. He earned honorable mention All-America honors and had four top-10 finishes and 13 rounds under par. He finished fourth at the ACC Tournament with a seven-under-par tournament, then finished 15th at the NCAA Regional in Stillwater, Okla. But Langdale injured his shoulder during the NCAA Tournament, needed summer surgery and missed the amateur schedule. It has not always been easy for Young and Langdale because they have had injuries along the way. Young has missed time due to a knee injury and Langdale missed the first two tournaments this fall recovering from shoulder surgery. “I am really hoping for a healthy spring senior season for both of them,” said Penley. “There haven’t been a lot of times when they have both been healthy and both been at the top of their game at the same time. “That is something I am looking for this spring. I want to see what this team can do when both are healthy and hitting on all cylinders. “They deserve it because they have both done so much for the program. They have a chance to finish strong together and bring our team to the national tournament and hopefully match play for the first time.”

WOMEN’S GOLF

KELLEY

HESTER CLEMSON’S NEWEST HEAD COACH HAS FOUND HER NEW HOME IN TIGERTOWN WITH THE WOMEN’S GOLF PROGRAM.

BY ELAINE DAY

T

he Hester family had just moved from Athens, Ga., to Greenville, S.C., as Kelley Hester took over the head coaching job at Furman. But when her daughter started kindergarten in 2013, she asked her mother if they could be Clemson fans. Three short years later, that answer is now ‘yes,’ as Hester was hired to be just the second Clemson women’s golf coach in program history in July. “It almost feels a little surreal,” Hester said of taking the Clemson job. “When we moved from Athens to Greenville, my daughter was in kindergarten. She was born in Arkansas, but she was 12 weeks old when we moved to Athens, so all she knew was Georgia. “She went to kindergarten on the first day, and when she came home, she said, ‘Mom, there’s no Furman people in my class. Can we be Clemson fans?’ “And you have to keep in mind that was when Clemson was starting a women’s golf team, so that was all you heard about in the Upstate. “Quite honestly, I underestimated the reach of Clemson when I was at Georgia. When we moved to the Upstate, it felt like nine out of 10 people were Clemson fans. All I ever heard about at junior golf tournaments was people wanting to go to Clemson, and here I was tasked with rebuilding Furman women’s golf, which

at one time was great, but in more recent history was not so great.” Hester quickly found success at Furman and earned SoCon Coach-of-theYear honors each of the last two seasons after her teams won SoCon titles in 2015 and 2016. Furman golfers were also named SoCon Player-of-the-Year the past two seasons and SoCon Freshmanof-the-Year all three years Hester led the program. In her final season with the Paladins, Hester guided Furman to a 20th-place finish at the NCAA Championship after finishing fourth at the NCAA Regional. “Furman was great and I probably could have stayed there forever,” stated Hester. “However, while Furman is a very strong team ranked in the top 20, for the long term and for my career, I believed that Clemson would allow me the resources to continue to improve and win a national championship, or build the kind of team that could win a national championship.” As someone who is more used to “big-time college athletics” after coaching at her alma mater (Georgia), Arkansas and helping to start the

women’s golf program at UNLV, Hester is excited to take on another high-caliber team, and she appreciates the resources that a program like Clemson can provide to its student-athletes. Paired with those resources, the success that Hester has found with her past teams, even aside from Furman, positions her well to begin recruiting for and building a nationally acclaimed pro-

gram. Just before Furman, in her time at Georgia, the Bulldogs made five straight NCAA Regional appearances and placed 10th and 15th at the 2008 and 2009 NCAA Championships, respectively. In 2009, Hester was named LPGA National Coach-of-the-Year. She brings a wide range of experiences to Clemson and has learned a lot from her past coaching jobs that she can bring to Clemson’s still-young team and program. “I’ve been at such good places that have achieved the kind of success that we would envision Clemson achieving. I have coached 16 All-Americans, won some conference championships, coached a national player-of-the-year and coached an NCAA champion. I think I have an eye for talent. “The older I get and the more All-Americans I have coached and the more success former players have had, that brings some credibility with it. It makes kids say, ‘That’s where I want to be. If this lady helped her get there, maybe she can help me, too.’ That’s what I look forward to doing. “Clemson is so new, but there’s no reason why Clemson can’t be great.”

FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME MANY FORMER TIGERS HAVE BEEN ENSHRINED IN THE STATE’S HALL OF FAME SINCE IT WAS FORMED IN 2012.

T

he words, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” are usually associated with the Christmas song penned long ago by crooner Andy Williams. With apologies to the late Mr. Williams, most football fans in attendance today for the Clemson vs. Louisville tilt would argue the most wonderful time of the year begins when the pigskin is kicked off in late summer and continues until the Super Bowl in early February. The popularity of football in Clemson and throughout the Palmetto State is a primary reason the South Carolina Football Hall of Fame (SCFHOF) was formed in 2012. The organization is dedicated to honoring the past and supporting the game of football and those who play it. “David Wyatt, president of SCFHOF, has said that football, faith and family are three of the most important things found in South Carolina, not necessarily in that order,” said Michael Foster. “There are not many things that can unite our state like football does.” Foster, the director of operations for the Greenville, S.C., based organization, believes the vibrant history and current success of Palmetto State teams and former players now in the NFL make the SCFHOF an organization whose time has come. “There are so many players from South Carolina who have had great success at the next level,” said Foster.

“When you consider the population base of South Carolina, you could argue that South Carolina has more great players per capita than any place in the United States. We are proud to honor these individuals who have left and are leaving such a mark on football in this state.” The SCFHOF goes about honoring players in several ways. The inaugural hall of fame class was enshrined in 2013 and was a who’s who of South Carolina football greats...Danny Ford, Frank Howard, Banks McFadden, Harry Carson, Willie Jeffries, George Rogers, Donnie Shell and Sam Wyche. Since then, four individuals with South Carolina ties have been inducted each year. Former Clemson greats William Perry (2014), Brian Dawkins (2015), Jeff Davis (2016) and Michael Dean Perry (2016) have all been enshrined in recent years. The four-member 2016 class, which was enshrined this summer at a sold-out event at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Greenville, featured Davis, former Tiger great and current director for player relations. “The Judge,” who anchored the Clemson linebacker corps during the 1981 national championship season, is quick to praise the SCFHOF. “Any time you are recognized for doing something you love, your are grateful,” said Davis. “So many people contributed to me getting into the South Carolina Football Hall of Fame. It is a

many Clemson people who were here with me as a player.” Honoring former players is a way of remembering the past, but the hall of fame is also proud of current players. Since 2013, three players, all Tigers (Tajh Boyd, Vic Beasley, Deshaun Watson), have earned top honors from the organization as the South Carolina College Football Player-of-the-Year. Voting for the 2016 college award winner will begin in late October when a ballot is released. For the casual fan, the most visual evidence of the SCFHOF is the mobile museum and fan experience. This interactive exhibit, housed in a 46-foot RV, travels to college games throughout the state to football games and other outdoor events to raise awareness and funding. At many events, hall of fame members are on hand to sign autographs, take pictures and visit with fans. “We are not satisfied with where we are, but we are very pleased with the tremendous growth that we have experienced,” continued Foster. “The opportunities that are ahead make us very excited about what is to come for our organization. For more information about the hall of fame, log on to SCFootballHOF.org. A schedule of where the mobile museum will be during coming weeks will be listed on the website.

HISTORY OF TIGERAMA On Nov. 8, 1957, Joe Sherman and Blue Key Honor Society oversaw the inaugural performance of Tigerama, making it the second-largest, completely studentrun show in the nation. Tigerama has become a hallmark event of the Homecoming weekend in Tigertown, highlighting for an audience of thousands the best of what Clemson University has to offer. Since 1957, Tigerama has been more than a celebration of Clemson’s Homecoming, it is a unique experience for Tiger fans of all ages. Tigerama is not only a catalyst for school spirit, it is also a source of essential scholarship support. Since its founding in 1957, the proceeds from Tigerama have provided the top student from each academic major a Tigerama scholarship, which recognizes excellence in the classroom and leadership in the community. Thank you for assisting in our efforts to foster community support and give back to the campus and student body.

KATHLEEN SWINNEY THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE

CLEMSON

KATHLEEN SWINNEY USES PLATFORM TO SERVE THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. BY PHILIP SIKES

130


A

framed picture of Dabo and Kathleen Swinney together from a Riverchase Middle School dance in Pelham, Ala., sits proudly atop a desk in the living room of their house in Clemson. More than 30 years have passed since the photo was taken, but it serves as a daily reminder for a couple who describe their life together, which began years before the dance, as a blessing. “I met Dabo when I was in first grade and he was in second,” said Kathleen. “I really can’t remember my life without him.” The two shared plenty of memories growing up together in the suburbs of Birmingham. Kathleen vividly recalls serving on the safety patrol as a fifth grader, something her husband did a year prior. The two served together on the student council in middle school. Kathleen remembers cheering for Dabo and his teammates at Riverchase basketball games. Their first “official” date took place in 1987. The two went to dinner and followed by seeing “Summer School,” a popular comedy starring Mark Harmon. “Back then, $20 could get you through the entire night,” she said. “Dabo said it was the first time he’d heard the term ‘fried cheese.’ Now, people call them mozzarella sticks, but growing up I always called it fried cheese. I ordered fried cheese and water. That was my dinner. I’m sure he remembers thinking, ‘What is she ordering? But hey, it’s only $3!’ “It’s so funny, because I’ll ask our boys’ friends today if they want fried cheese and they don’t know what I’m talking about. “We went next door and saw ‘Summer School,’ but halfway through I leaned over and told him, ‘I have to be home at 11.’ So we had to leave early…I had no idea how long the movie would last.”

Dabo walked on to the Alabama football team after graduating from Pelham High School in 1988. Kathleen followed suit by heading to Tuscaloosa a year later. The two made it through four years together at Alabama, finished undergrad in 1993 and married a year later. “Dabo was getting his MBA and worked as a graduate assistant for coach (Gene) Stallings,” stated Kathleen. “I was getting a master’s degree in education and we lived in Tuscaloosa. It was really good.” Kathleen received her first taste of being a coach’s wife in Tuscaloosa. She developed a love for baking after following the model used by Ann McCorvey, the wife of Dabo’s position coach, Woody McCorvey. When Dabo was the graduate assistant in charge of the scout team, she would bake cookies for the players on Thursdays before the games. The tradition continues to this day in Clemson, where she bakes goodies for the seniors now that her husband no longer coaches a position group. She even traveled with her husband the final week during recruiting periods when Swinney first became a full-time assistant. “I was like his traveling secretary,” she said. “It was before cell phones and social media. We’d sit in a hotel and plan out his day. I’d go with him and we’d check off names. Sometimes he told me that he’d be in a particular school for an hour, so I’d find the track at the high school and meet him back at the car. I had a love for it, and totally get the recruiting process. But when we had the boys, I had to stop going. Those were special times.” Following a few years out of the coaching profession, Dabo re-emerged in 2003 when then head coach Tommy Bowden brought him to Clemson to coach the wide receivers.

Kathleen said at first she could not believe how small the Clemson community was, even as someone who grew up in Pelham. “I remember thinking, ‘Where’s Target?’,” she laughed. “At first it felt a little small, even coming from Tuscaloosa. But now, less is more. It’s awesome.” The Swinneys have raised all three of their children, Will (18), Drew (16) and Clay (13), during their time together in Clemson. Not only have Dabo and Kathleen raised their family here, the two have used his platform as one of the nation’s most popular coaches to raise money for a plethora of charitable endeavors. Dabo’s All In Team Foundation was formed shortly after he took the reins as Clemson’s head coach, and the nonprofit chose to focus on specific areas, breast cancer research, The Family Effect, ClemsonLife, Call Me Mister and most recently elementary-aged literacy programs. The first focus area has received the most attention, and understandably so. Their lives have been impacted by cancer. In April 2014, Kathleen lost a sister,

Lisa Lamb, after a second bout with the disease. Dabo and Kathleen have helped raise over $500,000 toward breast cancer research. Kathleen discovered in 2005 that she carried the same gene that affected her sister, Lisa, who developed breast cancer two years prior. Kathleen underwent a double mastectomy to be proactive as it related to the cancer. “Dabo and I believe that if he has this type of platform, and we can use it to help people, why not do it? Our foundation pays for the costs of running our events, such as the All In Ball and Ladies Clinic, but outside of that, all proceeds are directly going toward our charitable efforts.” Kathleen does not take her own platform for granted. When she looks at the framed picture from the Riverchase dance in her living room, she cannot help but think of how blessed she and her husband have been. “It makes me want to cry. This community has been such a blessing. My boys love it here and have grown up here. It’s true…there’s no place like Clemson.”

A

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH

TODD GREEN TIGER FOOTBALL’S DIRECTOR OF VIDEO & TECHNOLOGY IS IN HIS THIRD YEAR WITH THE PROGRAM.

BY PHILIP SIKES

s a Sports Illustrated subscriber, a young Todd Green can easily recall his favorite part of receiving the family’s order each January 1...the free video that came along with it. Green grew up a big fan of NFL Films, the Emmy Award winning documentary series created by Ed and Steve Sabol. “Most of the time, those were the videos we got with our order,” said Green. “I grew up on that stuff, and I loved it.” He also grew up the son of a football coach. His father, Buddy, coached for nearly 40 years, most recently as Navy’s defensive coordinator. It did not take long for Green to find a way to mix those two passions together. He began dabbling with practice film while his father was the head coach at Chattanooga. After realizing he was not destined for law school as he once thought as a student at Tennessee, Green turned his passion to video for good. Green got his feet wet as a video graduate assistant at The Citadel in 2003-04, which led to assistant video coordinator positions at South Carolina and Arkansas, and ultimately a head coordinator position at Navy. Green was in charge of all aspects of football video from 2009-14, when Navy advanced to five bowl games in six seasons. The biggest takeaway from his previous stops was the advancement in coaching technology. “If it hadn’t advanced the way it has since I was a graduate assistant at The Citadel, I wouldn’t be doing this job,” admitted Green, who joined the Tiger program as director of video & technology in 2014. “When it went digital, everything got so much faster.” Green is used to a fast work week. During the season, it all starts on Sunday. He and his team organize all the digital assets from the previous game, from coaches video to highlight clips. Green and his staff support the daily meetings that take place with the coaches and players, and all of the video or presentations played in them. A team of undergraduate students focuses on filming practice Monday through Thursday with 10 cameras, including ones dedicated for virtual reality and drone technology. On Friday, the staff sets up for meetings at home and on the road. Finally, on gameday, Green and company film from two angles, delivering an edited product to coaches a mere 20 minutes following the event’s conclusion. They also film with four highlight cameras, virtual reality and even play music for the players in the locker room after wins. “It’s the satisfaction of knowing everything you have done behind the scenes to help contribute to that moment. To see the players, the coaches and staff celebrating the results of so much hard work is what it’s all about.” Another form of gratification came last October, when Green and his wife, Lauren, welcomed a son into the world, Thaddeus Lee. The couple returned home from the hospital an hour before the Tigers kicked off against Notre Dame. “When Deshaun (Watson) broke off that first long run, I was holding my son, and as I yelled, it felt like he went about a foot in the air,” laughed Green. “Him being born was my greatest experience since I’ve been in Clemson.” Those surrounding Green have allowed him to have a lot of great experiences. “Henry Guess is our full-time assistant, and he’s so precise in everything he does. He makes my job easy. Andre Robinson is our intern and is one of the most creative people I’ve been around. He helps make all of our highlight videos. “But none of us could do this without the help of students. They make it possible and spend countless hours because they love the Tigers.”

he bright lights of ESPN College GameDay and ABC College Football Saturday night will be in town all day as the Tigers take on Louisville in one of the biggest games in the history of Memorial Stadium. Both teams are ranked in the top five in the nation according to both polls. The Tigers have been there all season, but Louisville has made an incredible jump in the polls from a preseason No. 19 ranking. The current ranking is justified, as the Cardinals lead the nation in scoring and have a defense that is also highly regarded. The accomplishments of the teams are significant, but a major reason for the national interest in this game surrounds the play of dynamic quarterbacks for both teams. Clemson’s Deshaun Watson and Louisville’s Lamar Jackson have taken turns captivating the country at various times during the last year and a half. Watson finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting last year and became the first quarterback in FBS history with 4,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a season. That included an impressive performance against Ala-

bama in the national title game when he gained 478 yards of total offense. Now, Jackson is threatening to become the second player in FBS history to pass for 4,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards. His statistical accomplishments in the first four games are historic. He was one yard short of becoming the first college player in history with at least 400 passing yards and 200 rushing yards in a game when he dazzled Syracuse. Two weeks ago, he led Louisville to a 63-20 win over No. 2 Florida State. I have been asked this week by the media, “Is this the most celebrated quarterback matchup in the history of Death Valley?” In terms of media attention at the time of the game, yes. But in terms of reflection on total careers, no. How about considering a matchup of quarterbacks who became Super Bowl champions? In 1977, No. 5 Notre Dame came to Memorial Stadium and was quarterbacked by a guy named Joe Montana. No. 15 Clemson was quarterbacked by Steve Fuller. We are challenged to find a more legendary quarterback at each of these schools. Montana led the Fighting Irish to the 1977 national championship, then took

the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl victories. Fuller led the Tigers to back-to-back top-20 seasons in 1977 and 1978, including a No. 6 finish in 1978. He was the backup quarterback on the Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl championship team of 1985, and he played 10 seasons in the NFL.

DESHAUN WATSON

You can surprise a lot of people when you tell them that Fuller was an All-American in college (AP third team) and Montana was not. Fuller was a firstround NFL draft choice, and Montana was not. Fuller was also a two-time first-team Academic All-American. You can see why Fuller’s #4 jersey was the first to be retired and why Watson’s #4 jersey today honors him with a commemorative patch. It is interesting to note that the 1978 final poll saw Notre Dame and Clemson tie at No. 6, the only time the Tigers have been tied with another team in a final poll. Montana and Fuller were senior quarterbacks for those programs. Getting back to that 1977 game in Death Valley...Fuller actually had the upper hand that day in many statistical categories. He completed 13-20 passes for 185 yards, while Montana was just 10-23 passing for 196 yards. But Montana scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to lead a classic Notre Dame comeback in its 21-17 victory. In the short term, this is going to be a fascinating matchup of two of the top quarterbacks in the nation who are known for doing it all on the field. In the long term, it will be equally as fascinating to see if they can match the success of Montana and Fuller at the professional level.
