ern Conference schools became FCS in 1982.

The Tigers have outscored FCS teams by a 786-1 21 margin, an average score of 36-6. Clemson has won

all 22 games by at least 1 1 points. Western Carolina

lost to the Tigers by 1 1 in 1 982, Clemson's first game against an FCS team. Appalachian State came within

1 1 of Clemson in 1 997, and Furman lost by 1 1 in 2003.

trailing 13-10, Cullen Harper lofted a pass to Palmer in

the endzone that gave the Tigers a 17-13 lead.

Palmer has also seen his production and opportu-

one catch in each of the last six contests, including five

catches for 65 yards at Maryland and five receptions

for a career-high 74 yards and a touchdown at Miami

ney decided to have his team depart buses outside

the Lot 5 parking lot near the WestZone at Memorial Stadium and experience the gameday atmosphere.

Dressed in jackets and ties, the team was embraced by thousands of Tiger fans who stood 10 deep for the

200-yard march to the stadium. It was the centerpiece

of his "All In" theme in his first week as head coach. It is

a tradition that will continue in the future.

In his second week as head coach, an off-week, he

invited the Clemson student body to a practice, and nearly 1,000 students showed up. He spoke to the

group and actually allowed some students to partici-

pate during practice, as they were selected to attempt

a field goal, punt against a live rush, and field a punt.

He also took the entire team to the Greenville Chil-

dren's Hospital for a visit with young men and women fighting cancer.

TheTigers played at Boston College in his first-ever

road game as head coach on November 1. Despite

committing four turnovers and trailing in the fourth

quarter, his troops rallied for a 27-21 win, giving Clem-

son its first win over the Eagles since 1 958. It also came against the eventual ACC Atlantic Division champion.

In 2007, he coached Kelly, a First-Team AII-ACC se-

lection who led the league in receiving yards per ganne

and touchdown catches (11). He also finished second

in receptions per game with a school-record 88 catch-

es, tied for the second-highest total in ACC history. His

1 1 touchdown catches were a Tiger record as well.

Kelly is Clemson's and the ACC's career reception leader with 232 catches. He also owns the school

touchdown reception record with 20. The previous record of 18 was held by Glenn Smith, who established

the record in 1951. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the

top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as

the fifth-best recruiter in the nation by Rivals.com . It marked the second straight year that he was lauded by the website as a top-25 national recruiter. He signed

38 players in his five recruiting seasons and was a major reason Clemson's 2008 recruiting class was rated #2

in the nation by ESPN.com when he signed 1 1 players.

He was named one of the top-25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com in 2007 as well. When Swinney accepted the interim head coach-

ing position on October 13, 2008, he described his feelings as "bittersweet" because he was taking over for Bowden, who had been his first position coach at

Alabama in 1989. He had also brought Swinney back to the coaching profession in 2003 and has had a

profound effect on his life. Both had followed similar

paths as players, as Bowden was a walk-on at West Vir- ginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama.

Either in 1 964 or 1 965, S.C. Jones, a member of the

class of 1 91 9, made a trip to California. He stopped at

a spot in Death Valley, CA and picked up a white flint

rock. He presented it to Head Coach Frank Howard

as being from Death Valley, California to Death Valley, South Carolina.

The rock laid on the floor in Howard's office in Fike Fieldhouse for years. One day, he was cleaning up

his office and told Gene Willimon, who was executive

secretary of IPTAY, to "take this rock and throw it over

the fence or out in the ditch. ..do something with it, but

get it out of my office!" Willimon did not think that was the way a rock

should be treated. After all, it had been brought 3,000 miles by a very sincere Clemson fan.

By the mid-1960s, Memorial Stadium was living up

to its moniker ("Death Valley") because of the number of Tiger wins that had been recorded there. Actually,

the name was first used by Lonnie McMillan, head coach

at Presbyterian during the 1940s. McMillan and the other Blue Hose coaches before him used to open each season by playing at Clemson.

Seldom scoring (24 shutouts in 39 games), and with only

three victories and four ties to show for it, his teams were

getting "killed" by theTigers regularly. In 1948, McMillan

made the comment to the press that he was taking his

team to play Clemson in "Death Valley." An occasional reference to Memorial Stadium by that name could be heard for the next four years,

but when Howard started calling it "Death Valley" in

the 1950s, the name took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated its 67th year in the "Valley" in 2008. But getting back to Howard's Rock. The Rock was mounted on a pedestal at the top of the Hill on the east side of the stadium. It was unveiled

September 24, 1966 when Clemson played Virginia. The

Tigers were down 18 points with 17 minutes left and came back to win 40-35 on a 65-yard pass from Jimmy

Addison to Jacky Jackson in the fourth quarter. That was quite a debut for the Rock. The team members started rubbing the Rock prior to running down the Hill on September 23, 1 967, a day when Clemson defeated Wake Forest by a score of 23-

Prior to running down the Hill that day, Howard told his players, "If you're going to give me 1 10 percent, you can rub that Rock. If you're not, keep your filthy hands off it."

Howard told of the incident during the following day on his television show, and the story became legend.

Clemson is committed to building a model sports program - one that propels our university into achieving and maintaining national athletic rankings that rival our competitors. The WestZone project is a major step forward in building a total sports program.

In order to be a consistent contender at the highest level of competition, Clemson must recruit the best student-athletes in the nation - student-athletes who can compete both academically and athletically. The nation's best recruits are impressed by superior facilities, top coaches, and a strong sense of excitement along with school spirit. They desire an environment in which they will have a positive, nurturing experience.

As a Ph.D. student in Clemson's Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Keenan Adams studies the human dimensions of natural resources, using his strengths to help people as well as the environment.

And, as resident director of the Bridge to Clemson University program, he advises freshmen on ways to mal

in the college environment. Adams finds the two roles comfortable and complementary.

He has also found that both provide good training for his chosen profession. m

"My dream is to become a

professor who will impact the lives of students and

produce research in the

natural resource field. If I'm able to get natural resource managers, policy-makers and researchers to consider human dimensions, then believe I've succeeded," he says. m

A Doctoral Scholars Award provides assistance that Adams says allows him to stay at Clemson, where he hopes to influence the ideas of students and researchers.

This aspiring professor's advice to students? "Be

excellent at what you do because if what you do is good,

then it will inherently make this world a better place."

that featured amusing and enlightening video clips that further engaged the audience.

"In order to use this new medium, the band staff

has had to learn film-editing software such as iMovie and ProTools, an audio engineering package," added Spede.

A crisp, fall football game is one of the last places one would expect to find the impact of innovative and

high-tech computer software, but for the Clemson

University Marching Band, the football field is no better place to showcase the results of the high-tech Tiger Band.

Tiger Band welcomes the "Spirit of Chanticleer

Marching Band" from Coastal Carolina. After its per-

formance. Tiger Band will serenade the north stands

with "Incantation" from "Cirque du Soleil." The Home-

coming Queen and her court will follow, and then the

Tiger Alumni Band will join in a "Salute to Tiger Fans Everywhere!"
