sched. To the best of my memory, that was the first year my dad could afford to start taking me to the games. Clemson was in the Southern Conference. They were undefeated and won the Gator Bowl beating Missouri of the Big 7 24-23. Among the teams they beat that year were Auburn, Miss. State, Boston College , and of course South Carolina. I was 10 years old. My dad died 2 years later. pretty much dashing any chance I could ever go to college. I later worked for the Clemson athletic department for approximately 10 years, broadcasting many events and being the football and basketball PA announcer so I feel I am a part.
