I became an official Clemson fan when I was about 5 or 6, and don’t ever remember Clemson dropping an opener.
Has Clemson ever lost an opening game to start the season?
Ever?

I remember that game. Marshall was a late replacement for Tulane game that was dropped so TB and his former players wouldn't face off in that opener if I remember correctly.

When he got to the opening where he could see the size of Death Valley, he stopped and said, "Oh, my God!"

A NOON KICKOFF AT THE END OF AUGUST? ###?!?
By the 3rd qtr I’m watching drunk college kids passing out all around me. By the 4th qtr I’m thinking to myself “Am I going to survive this poop show?!?” I didn’t die, so that was my only personal highlight of the day.

I’ll never forget our center (Tommy Sharpe) throwing up all over the football before snapping it on at least one play.
What a pitiful game. Clemson football has come quite a long way.

Hands-down the worst game I’ve ever been to in Death Valley. Heat they could fry an egg, a a Clemson team that looked like they hadn’t practiced at all. Someone had stolen my cooler when I got back to the tailgate. Got in a fight with my girlfriend, you name it

You’re supposed to be some kind of lifetime Clemson fan and can’t remember an opening loss? Nobody familiar with you and your posts believes that. Yet another lame troll attempt. Give the phone back to your mom.

Could I quite possibly stick around for entertainment purposes since that's what you think of me?
Instead of giving me the boot ?

We lost to Georgia for our first game of the year in the 1982 season. There was a very controversial last play of the game, but of course the game was in Athens, so...

Tommy Bowden always seemed to have problems early being ready for the season. I was always scared of losing to a nobody the first couple games, remember Troy.

That was back when Bama played like Georgia too.
