I never see this referenced at all. I've posted it before, but it's been a couple of years.



Think about all the other traditional bottom feeders that aren't on that list. It's a very exclusive club.

the funny little mustache was just starting to get freaky. By 1958 we'd been to a Cotton, Sugar, and two Orange bowls. Might've had more if WW2 hadn't gutted our teams in the '40s. And lil ol Clemson truly was lil ol Clemson back then, for sure. RIP Frank Howard.
