Clemson scheduled us for this game because we were about the only two non-FCS teams with an open date. There was an article that detailed how we were able to get that game on the schedule. Clemson was looking for an easier opponent, but finally their AD talked with Dabo and the conversation supposedly went something like this:
Dabo: What are the possibilities for our open date?
AD: There's only one, its TCU.
Dabo: Oh, ok let's do it. (grudgingly)
The AD's line became our mantra.

Urban Meyer had left for Florida by the time we got back into the MWC.

Cannot cut and paste on this pad but this is the NYT article that talked about exactly what was said between Dabo and their AD.

Loved when they did the highlights like this without music or announcers. The Boise game also has a highlight video that is really good. Wish they could do this again for games

Clemson was my senior year road trip with 5 buddies, and is still one of my favorite memories to this day. That trip is the reason our season ticket group picks a road game to attend every year, but Clemson is the benchmark and probably won't be defeated.
Great fans, awesome environment, beautiful campus.

Always the party pooper. Fine. Urban like system under his best protégé/coordinator and damn good head coach Kyle Whittingham.
The point being Patterson has beaten some damn good coached teams and deserves a national title.

It was such a monsoon, but man was it awesome. Best set of fans I have been around, as well.

DWash chasing down Spiller in pixel form on the DMC scoreboard was epic
Not so sure about Meyer, or if Bielema should be on that list, but I would add Bob Stoops multiple times and raise a glass to adding Meyer and Saban to the list before he's done!

Was I supposed to type something here?
I remember a post after the game where a regular poster here had stated that he and his party had gone to the Esso Club pre-game and were rather loud, yet when it came time for the bill they found that someone there had already picked up the check. "And we had an extensive bar tab..."

Boy that SMU loss must really be GP's albatross. He mentioned after that Clemson win and is still pointing to it!

My teenage son jumped on my back when the Frogs scored the final touchdown to seal the victory.
The only problem was that we were in the upper deck of the visitors section. It was a great victory, minus the concrete road rash I received on my back from tumbling down about 4 rows of concrete stairs.
