@MarkPacker I don’t think Tigertown is big enough to have two big celebrities at the same time with the president and Pac-Man. WOW! It reminds me of the time Clemson played Alabama and Bear Bryant and had Bob Hope performing on the same Saturday for Homecoming in 1969

[Sam Blackman @SamBlackman55]

Yes that will be great

[Sam Blackman @SamBlackman55]

Yes just give me a call. I have material on this.

The 17 runs scored in the fourth inning in the Tigers’ 21-4 victory over Notre Dame in the 2018 ACC Baseball Tournament, brought back memories of a 18-run ninth inning, led by Neil Simons in a Clemson victory over N.C. State 39 years ago.

February 28, 2018 marks the 50th Anniversary of the last Clemson Basketball Game at Fike Field House. Georgia Tech defeated Clemson 80-51 that day. Ironically, CU defeated Georgia Tech 76-72, on November 30, 1968, in the first game played at Littlejohn. https://t.co/AUKJqlJFwg

Dr. Billy Graham spoke at Clemson's Fike Field House early in his career. He was probably the most well-known international celebrity to appear at Fike. Dr. Graham spoke to the Clemson Cadets on March 21, 1950.

[Sam Blackman @SamBlackman55]

We will miss Dr. Billy Graham and the influence that he had not only in the United States but on the world. It's with sad hearts that he leaves us, but don't you know that heaven is rejoicing at this time as he enters the city of gold.

Read the attached article I did for https://t.co/19etk6Uxjc on the 1958 Clemson football season and the 1959 Sugar Bowl. Clemson wore Blue Jerseys in this game to offer more contrast for everyone watching on a black and white television set.
