Both championships in Florida, where we are 2-0 in championship games. Should be a requirement in the future to play there.
Both championship QB's from Georgia but were basically ignored by UGA
Both QB's were African-American. Something USC has never had for a full season and UGA only once. Clemson, to my recollection, has had 13 full seasons with African-American QB's, 8 of which I believe resulted in 10 or more wins. Homer(1), Cameron(2), Tajh(3) and Deshaun(2). All but Tajh were from Georgia
Zerrick Cooper is from Georgia

Deshaun "committed" to Clemson when he was a sophomore?

Right? UGA didn't really have a shot.

I was a freshman at Clemson and in attendance for the 1982 Orange Bowl to witness Clemson win the 1981 National Championship.
My daughter is currently a freshman at Clemson and in attendance with me for the 2017 National Championship game to witness Clemson win the 2016 National Championship.

I too was a freshman in 1981 and attended the Orange Bowl in 1982 for the National Championship. That year my family (Mom leading the way) took us to Florida to Disney World and then I hooked up with my roommate and headed to the game. This time I was able to take my Mom to the game with my cousin (2000) and nephew (current junior at Clemson). My two daughters recently graduated from Clemson as well so it is a family thing. Wish I could have taken my wife (1986), daughters and future student (son) but they were all cheering at any rate! Congrats on being able to share that with your freshman daughter!
Go Tigers!!!

No one would ever schedule that, would only happen in BCS bowl series or at the end of one season and the start of the next.

Hunter(13) ended the 13 game losing streak. No matter how you look at it 13 or backwards 31 points they scored will go down in history.

I seem to remember listening to it on the radio. Wasn't that the game where Jim Philips was having some fun at the end of the game by saying something like, "I'll let you fans tell from the crowd whether these free throws are good"?

[ in reply to Won't we only get 3 tombstones? Va Tech at 16 was a ] |

so that now a tombstone goes in for any non-home win over a ranked team. I *believe* this was first done for the 2003 Peach Bowl win over Tennessee, though I can't recall for certain.

I think that's true, and I think it was a mistake.

Honestly, the tombstone tradition was cooler when it was a recognition of going into the HOUSE of a ranked opponent and beating them. And that's because it's rare, and difficult. Now the tradition amounts to "You beat a ranked team without the help of Death Valley." Very different. And when we play ranked teams in the post-season, usually that means we're ranked highly too.
Just my opinion but I liked it better the old way.

I actually agree with this. It's nice to commemorate big bowl wins over ranked teams, but I think doing it in a different way would be better.

You could add UGA and add 2 more games
Jan 12, 2017, 8:30 AM

Of course, UGA hasn't been on the same level as the other in terms of recent championships, and including them would also warrant including UF in the top 5 SEC programs, but it's still interesting to note all of our success against the "Mighty SEC."

Here's my special connection:
In 1981 I was a sophomore student at Clemson when Homer Jordan and company won our school's first title and now 35 years later my son is a sophomore at Clemson with DW4 and company winning it all again!!! Full circle baby!!

We need to reserve a special design for future NC tombstones. Maybe make them bigger, or whatever. JUST for NC tombstones.
