Here we see some Tiger fans showing their enthusiasm in the mid-70s for Wayne "Tree" Rollins.

The seven foot one Rollins was an Associated Press third team All-American in his senior year. Rollins established 10 individual Clemson records for shot blocking, rebounding, and field goal accuracy. He also established an NCAA mark for starting 110 consecutive games and was the first Clemson athlete to have his jersey retired.
