My favorite Fridge Memories (share yours)

Being a Clemson kid born in the seventies, Fridge hit Tigertown when I was 7. He was my favorite player. I remember him taking out all three options on a triple option play. I remember him throwing the center into the qb for a sack. But mostly, I remember how big he smiled. I think I may have the lifesize poster my dad got at Judge Kellers.
I ran into him about ten years ago in a convenience store, he bought them out of the pork chops I was waiting in line for. We sat down and talked for 15 minutes. What a pleasant and unassuming person.

-He would always give me a low five after every home game.
-Life sized Frdige poster on my wall. Loved it.
-He beat a Maryland running back down the line on a 4th and goal stretch play. Despite moving lateraly and faster than their tailback, he stood up the runner.
--He gave me a sweatband.

and also being a student-athlete, I would also see him around Jervey fairly frequestly.
He was always a very freindly and likeable guy and he always had that great big ole perma-grin painted on his face.

I remember being in summer school and playing basketball at Fike. One day, Fridge comes in and is shooting hoops. I saw him dunk the basketball without a running start (i.e. flat-footed). It was unbelieveable!
