Goodbye to ALL my TiGER Friends on TNet. It's been great ...
Aug 6, 2014, 11:46 PM

over the past 4 1/2 years of sharing my personal thoughts, views, ideas, dreams, fears, memories, concerns and past experiences relating to Clemson Sports..particularly Football. This is my 10,001 post, while I meant to retire at 10K but remember I failed remedial math at CU!
I was fortunate (or unfortunate) to have attended & graduated from Dear Ole Clemson in the last days of ratting..rat caps..seniors making you sing your HS Alma Mater while standing and they were hastily gobbling down all the roast beef/taters/green beans/bread..climbing up the greased flag pole near Tom Clemson's statue for what I forget..guarding Pendleton from cOOTs (wouldn't have known one IF I saw one!)..hearing the Deacon preach to us before the CU/SC game..enjoying two-platoon football..beating the cOOTs often and after the 1959 beat down at WillieB they had to come to our place for the 1st time in probably 60+ years (cowards!) on a home & away basis..a stadium that had no upper decks but real hedges before Coach Howard cut them down due to maintenance.. seeing him coach FB practices with some gruff words just yards from my old quadrangle dorm window on what's now the soccer field..thinking the Tin Cans were great & modern even if noisy..wearing sport coats & ties so to be Clemson Gentlemen..
thumbing rides to Greenville in front of the Administration Building (Library back then)..riding with a buddy to double-date girls at Columbia College and have to sit in lobby til they came down those Tara-like steps but having to have them back in by 11PM or else, eating at Dan's Hamburgers and attending a $1 flick at theater now used by Ibrahim's Clothing, Judge Keller's being the main place for Orange stuff, no Lake Hartwell (in 1959), no girls (well, maybe a few), getting your grades by finding them posted on bulletin board near class door (for all to see) couple days after exam..having a male cheerleader who really led..attending basketball games in a gym the size of your back yard with a heating system that made you wish you'd worn a bathing suit..hanging out at the Loggia was neat since first TV's were there, but the football players would get the sofas & chairs..attending class mandated weird movies at the YMCA theater..the Clemson House was the place to dine on Sundays..professors were professors..life seemed less hectic..the college book store had a monopoly on the distribution & cost of books..ROTC was thought patriotic and correct.. and Bowman Field was/is the premier beauty spot of our campus IMO.
I entered Clemson in 1959 but dropped out after that first semester due to being very ill with the Asian Flu..and thus became depressed and joined the Navy for awhile..coming back years later married and living in a WW2 pre-fab house that was located at where the Athletic Offices' parking lot is now.
Then, during the first week of my last semester as a Senior I broke my hip slipping in the snow late one evening while delivering a sports article I'd written for The TIGER student newspaper. (Over my tenure I'd interviewed Coach Howard, Coach Bob Jones, Coach Bill Wilheim and many athletes). This untimely accident caused my Wife, myself & our Families much grief for six months while I was in the hospital and later in a near-full body cast on one side and across the stomach-chest area. Overeating was always a mistake!
But, I attended Summer School..walking with crutches the first semester..taking way too many courses to get out in August..but made it out..but not at the outdoor Amphitheater as did my class, but in old Tillman Hall which was special still..got a job and started a Family in Greenville.
Years passed..several employments (self & with family too..in G'ville & Charlotte), with many many scores of Clemson football games attended home & away with my Family..carrying & hoisting the first 3'x5' Cotton PAW Flag to all of them from 1977-1992 (with SID Bob Bradly naming me "The FlaGMan")..with my Son & I bonding due to attending many great games & bowls (best might have been driving to ND in '79 for a win when he was only 9..and day b/4 game having Danny Ford allow us to walk into the famed Irish Stadium with the Team to check it out but later we got locked within the stadium since team locked the locker room door on us! (that's another story on how we got out..but hint would be my hearing student managers spray painting those famous golden-colored helmets after Fridays practice would suffice). And, after all those fun trips of my Son & I following the Tigers together he decided Clemson was where he wanted to attend college, graduating at age 21 and then headed to Law School..both of which were proud days for sure!
But, since I've spent over 3000 happy & satisfying hours on TigerNet over the last 4 1/2 years..with many enjoyable posts (10,000) and reading ten times as many from you while following 2000 friends..I must now allot more time to other issues & hobbies in life since at 73 it is getting shorter. I'm retiring the old "lightbulbbill" handle as far as posting..but will check in occasionally to see what you're saying & thinking! And, yes, I'll be "following" you incognito..so watch out!
SO, Thanks ALL TigerNet Friends for the good times of sharing our loyalty to our favorite college Team..CLEMSON. It was a pleasure I'll never forget!
Cheers, "Lightbulb" BiLL
Oh..GoTiGERS!

Well Bill, you really don't have to completely retire. I've always thought that you were a good old fart even though they smelled bad sometimes. It really don't matter what GWP and dsp say about you, H&ll I like you and so does 2 or 3 more around here. What bothers me most about you completely retiring, I won't really have much use for my TU button. These things will freeze up when their not used every now and then. H&ll my TD button is already perma stuck on a selective few on here, but I'm satisfied that when it locked up completely, it locked up on class09. I guess I'll just keep you in my prayers, and hope that you'll stop back by more than you really wanted to even if its only to say Hi. The very best to you Leather Tiger, keep your Roar loud and proud, Gooo Tigersssss, come back Billllll!!!!

My Dad started Clemson in '60 and graduated in '64. He passed away unexpectedly in 2012. As per his wishes, I scattered his ashes in Death Valley. I can tell that Clemson is "in you" just as it was my Father. I hope you embrace that love for our great university and spend whatever spare time you have continuing to be a fan of the Tigers! Go Tigers!!!!!!

Aug 7, 2014, 5:40 AM

for I am reminded of my last few days at Clemson, when new horizons meant saying goodbye to old friends and old places while looking forward to new adventures.
For those of us older Tigers who have finally acknowledged the brevity of life, we find some of those new adventures taking even greater priority than they once might have. And so we move on to other interests.
I've only "retired" three times, and each has spawned new situations in which I have found myself as busy or busier than before. This latest has provided me with less time for diversions, such as TigerNet, probably to the relief of many and regret of only a few, yet I still enjoy the occasional visit or post.
Hopefully, time will afford you the same opportunity while being kind to your new interests.
Goodbye, old Friend...at least for now, til our paths cross again.

Thanks for your wisdom Lightbulbbill. How about you T-mail
some of us and let us know how things are going. It wouldn't
count on your post total and it would make us check our T-mail more often. We could post that LBB is doing so n so.
Just a thought and Good Luck to You Sir.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Anyone know if LbB had a son... maybe a little 40WbB to continue on in lBB's stead?
I always enjoyed lightbulbbill's posts and the stories of the good old days. Men like him paved the way for me/us and the Tigers of today. Thanks for passing on a Clemson that had lots of pride which endures still today. Rock on, Tiger! Rock on!!

Thanks for bringing back lots of great memories, I was at Clemson during that same era. I'm almost as old as you are so I understand where you're coming from-best of luck to you as you travel on through life.

It has always been a pleasure reading your posts and comments, lightbulbbill, but I've especially enjoyed your reminiscing about the Clemson of days gone by. I certainly appreciate you being such a very positive and unwavering fan of Clemson athletics, as all schools need more fans like yourself. May God bless you in all future endeavors, my friend.

My God, Bill, I remember all those things too. I don't post often, but have enjoyed your comments and your unwavering loyalty to Clemson. You are a true Clemson man and I can offer no higher compliment than that.

BiLL: There are so few genuine connections back to the heart of what dear old Clemson truly was/is about -- thanks for being that for us, BiLL! Really gonna miss you and your love of all things Clemson! And thanks for being my only Tnet follower too -- hoping you enjoy the "Bright Light from the Carolina Coast and hoping you get to witness a huge Orange sunset tonight"!

Two TD's in this good bye to all his T-Net friends and T-Net acquaintances from Bill. You know those had to be two of the worst low life T-Netters that has ever logged into T-Net. Holding vendetta's on a 73 year old man that graduated Clemson in 1959, life long Clemson Tiger. If that's not reason to ban forever for Tiger Net abuse of privileges, I just don't know what could constitute a life time ban. Grump and B-Heist has to know that those two do not belong on this board after giving a TD for this type post with 121 respect TUs and two trashy disrespecting TDs. Crump they should be gone with their IP address ban forever. And those 121 TUs should also be the vote for a life time ban, with two no votes!!!

I think the powers that be should expose the guilty TD'ers so that we can all put them on ignore.

bio reads about like mine.... started coming over to games at about 12 years old when my mom would drop me off at the White Horse Drive-in with a dollar in my pocket....enough for a cheeseburger at Dan's and a ticket to the football game....wore the rat hat until we either beat Sakerlina or I think until Thanksgiving....of course whipped them so got to take them off a little early..... destroyed a Volkswagen bug on a freshman panty raid (we outnumbered the girls 15:1) and each freshman was charged a few bucks to replace the VW.... frisbee had just gotten big, so wasted a lot of time on the road in front of the "Tin Cans" throwing the ole disc.........
eventually graduated.....Marines (OCS at Quantico).......Uncle Sam thought Viet Nam a good idea and needed me there....... combat engineer, so I blew up a lot of stuff.... re- built a lot of stuff that the other side blew up...like bridges......hunted down IED's every morning on Highway 1....home after a year....married.... two chilluns.....one of each.......daughter Wake Forest grad (huge Tiger sports fan though)........ son graduated from Clemson...........and life still goes on...........and it is about to get better as soon as football season starts....plenty of reason to still keep on living!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks LBB for all of your great posts!!!!!!!
