I'm old enough to remember Iowa State's Liberty Bowl game vs. Georgia Tech in 1972, I think it was a night game and it was on TV when most college FB games weren't televised; I'd just started watching college football, so I didn't know anything about either team, but I recall an exciting game...
Greetings from a Clemson fan....
- Thread starter Lemoore85
- Start date
I see all three ESPN 'Bowl Mania' guys are taking Clemson. Not because of line play, or some other talent evaluation, but because of Clemson's culture.
If culture is what wins this one, I like our chances.

And without looking (haven't watched much of Clemson) I could assume their line play is better than ISU.
All of Clemson's games are on youtube; but if you don't want to watch all 12, I would suggest 3 that define our season; vs. Louisville (last second win), vs. NC State (loss in double OT) and vs. SC ( a 30 - 0 win but could have been 50 -0)...
All things considered, whoever plays the "cleanest" game and executes is likely the winner, given the projected closeness of this game...
Thanks for joining @Lemoore85. Looking forward to hanging out with some Clemson fans in Orlando!
How I now picture Lemoore:
Colorized version(s) of course!
That's interesting! How does it work? Any vids?
I'm old enough to remember but don't. Some racial overtones. Oh the era's we've gone thru.

Not sure where the goalposts are controlled from; I've always assumed somewhere in the Press box. The lowering is on a few videos on youtube. Had no idea about the racial overtones of 1972 Liberty bowl....
That 1972 Liberty Bowl is my first Iowa State Football memory!
Clemson fans are big time "tailgaters"...you'll be asked to join a few I'm sure...
Tailgating was ISU's identity forever.
They didn't invent 'win or lose, we booze' but they lived it.
It's pretty much caught up for now other than the big pedestrian bridge they are building from the new tailgating lots and over the main road that runs by the stadium. If you've ever been to W.V. stadium it was a copy of Trice originally. The Sukup end zone addition, the new score board, and the new athletic training facility right next to the stadium, makes it look pretty nice. For our budget our A.D. does a good job of getting a bang for the buck.

So... agriculture, tailgating, and losing in the worst way possible (aka "Clemsoning" or around here "nut cup").
I feel like we might be twins separated at birth... now if ISU could just have 10 consecutive years of 10+ wins please!

We are trying to put together the parts for a CycloneFanatics tailgate. Once we have details, we will start a new thread. Looks like we may even be able to hold it in the ADA lot just south of the stadium. Should be talking tomorrow with Ray of Priceless BBQ who provided ribs, chicken, and sides two years ago.
Lemoore85 is welcome to stop by with any similar Clemson fans.
I was at that game (as well as the Sun Bowl the year before). It was an exciting game. I don't remember much about game-related racial issues, probably because I spent too much time on Beale Street.
We show up on the SC board because unlike ISU fans we get along with the fans of the teams we play. ISU fans make it impossible to like them even if you try and I've tried. Stick around here long enough and you wont like either.
