Every one of those season openers seems to kick-start our year. WOOT! (http://s3.amazonaws.com/br-cdn/temp_images/2013/11/10/2013-11-0920_18_17.gif) Title: Re: Remember this? Post by: 2Stater on December 16, 2018, 06:41:19 AM I remember being on cloud 9 after that game. You just knew it was the start of something special, and it was.
Title: Re: Remember this? Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on December 16, 2018, 06:46:40 AM I was at that Clemson game. We stayed on the outskirts of town and took the MARTA in/out. After the game the Clemson fans were humble. The general consensus was that we had just hired a superstar of a coach that was going to lead us to the top, and their version of a Bowden had reached his ceiling and needed to hit the road.
Just as a comparison, the Virginia Tech fans the next year were complete jackasses. Title: Re: Remember this?

That was the year Dabo took over for Tommy Bowden (2008). We did them a real favor by whipping their upstart asses. :lol2: Title: Re: Remember this?

Dabo took over at midseason. Title: Re: Remember this? Post by: Catch Prothro on December 16, 2018, 07:07:10 AM I remember being on cloud 9 after that game. You just knew it was the start of something special, and it was. I remember that game like it was yesterday. Bama entered a big underdog.All the talk was about Clemson's "Fire and Lightening." But Tommy Bowden fulfills his promise to a true freshman RB (heavily recruited) and lets him play Clemson's first snap. Dont'a Hightower strips the football, and Bama goes up 6-0. The other thing I remember was a video was "leaked" of Julio Jones catching a TD in practice. So pre-game talk speculated on Bama's passing attack with Julio. Instead, Bama mostly ran the football down Clemson's throat with Mark Ingram. Title: Re: Remember this? Post by: 2Stater on December 16, 2018, 07:23:39 AM I remember being on cloud 9 after that game.

Killed them (like the UGA TE killed us in the SECCG). :unsure: Title: Re: Remember this?
