Clemson lost a legend on October 30 when longtime sports information director Bob Bradley passed away. He served Clemson for 45 years working long hours to promote Tiger athletics. In 1981 he arranged to have a live Tiger at the football team's Picture Day festivities and he took the opportunity to pose with the playful feline. The above photo captures the joy and Clemson spirit he brought to his chosen profession. Turn to page 120 for more on the life and times of Mr. B.

During his junior year under the influence of his coach, Speck started thinking about his career in college football. In high school, Speck was a member of the football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and track teams. He remembers after making the decision to play college football his junior year staying after practice to better himself. "After track practice every day, Coach would stay after- wards and we would throw around the football and do agility drills to try to get better. He instilled a hard work ethic in me." The work ethic that was instilled throughout his junior year carried over to his senior year when he moved from Texas to Tennes- see. Since most of his recruiting had gone on in Texas, he had to work much harder because he had moved. His senior year after making a highlight video to send to schools around Ten- nessee, he traveled to Clemson, South Caro- lina on his recruiting trip. It was then that he fell in love with the small town and big time football atmosphere.

The signing class of 1 997 included players such as Robert Carswell, Rod Gardner, Charles Hafley, and Will Merritt. Along with Speck and other signees, the 2000 senior class made a decision the day they reported in 1 997 to turn the football program around. Speck needs just three special teams tackles to break Ashley Sheppard's Speck signed as a free safety along with Clemson career record.

k Richt (assistant coach) was talking to Jeff I d den (assistant coach) telling him what to call. Jeff was screaming at a player not five yards away and that guy couldn't hear him.

"When we went out to warm up it felt like

a National Championship game. When I went back

to the team (in the locker room) before the game, I

said this is going to be great practice for playing at

Florida because this is as loud as it gets." Florida State Head Coach Bobby Bowden

"Death Valley really lives up to its image. I was impressed with this stadium. When you put 80,000

people in there, it really feels like they are on top of

you. I would hate to be Georgia Tech or whoever

else comes in here." San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Steve Young

"Clemson's record at home is not a coincidence.

Running down the hill is a part of that record. You get

so inspired, and so much of college football is about emotion. You get out of that bus and you hear the

roar of the crowd and it gives you chills up and down your spine." Former Clemson All-America kicker David Treadwell

"The rock has strange powers. When you rub it,

and run down the hill, the adrenaline flows. Its the most emotional experience I've ever had." mi Six-time All-Pro and former Clemson Ail-American Michael Dean Perry

"Running down the hill is still talked about every-

where I go. Players who played against Clemson

when I was in college remember us running the hill and thinking we would gain some type of spirit. The adrenalin rush was unbelieveable for a Clemson player and quite a shock for the opponent." Former Clemson Ail-American Jerry Butler

"Last spring ( 1 999) , New York Knicks Head Coach Jeff Van Gundy came to Clemson for a coaching

clinic. One of the first things he said was, 'before I leave I've got to rub Howard's Rock.' So, we brought him to the rock about midnight one night. He rubbed

the rock, but he wouldn't run down the hill. He was a

little afraid of that." Clemson Head Basketball Coach Larry Shyatt

"It has always been a dream to run down that hill.

You get to the top and it's emotional because you think

of all the players that have done the exact same thing that you are doing. When you get to the bottom you look up and see 80,000 people hollering and you realize you have a tradition to live up to." Clemson Junior Center Kyle Young

(S.C. Jones '19) who picked it up in Death Valley, CA. The Rock was

HOMECOMING Clemson holds a classic homecoming every year. Displays by fra- ternities and sororities that are months in the making, are built on

Bowman Field the week prior to Homecoming weekend. It is an event that draws alumni and friends of Clemson from all over the country.

The Friday evening prior to the game, Tigerama is held in Death THE TIGER PAW

Antonio was an and her court are presented in addition to Homecoming skits, a pep innovative account executive with Henderson Advertising in rally, and a large and loud fireworks display. Greenville, and prior to the 1970 season, unveiled the Paw as

Clemson's new logo. It has shown up all over the country on items owned by Clemson fans from shirts to hats to the now famous "two-

dollar bills". Many institutions with a feline as a mascot have used the

logo, or an impression of it. Antonio also came up with the phrase, "Fly the friendly skies of United," when he worked for the Leo Burnette Agency in Chicago. "I've never had a logo or an emblem copied as much as the Tiger Paw," said Antonio, now 69 and living in Greenville.

Antonio still remembers the day he made the presentation of the Tiger Paw to Frank Howard, then the Clemson Athletic Director. "He

wasn't saying much at all," recalled Antonio in an article in the

Greenville News by Alyce Atkinson on Feb. 16, 1997. "I kind of

thought I was losing this fight." At this point Antonio pulled out an orange football helmet with a tiger paw painted on the side. "Coach Howard's eyes got as big as saucers and he smiled. From

there it was downhill. Coach Howard wanted that helmet." Those

Tiger paws are still on the Clemson helmets today.

Hall to the Clemson University Athletics Department is not found in the structure itself, but in the many programs that the building houses.

Vickery Hall opened in the spring of 1991 and was the first support facility in the country built solely for the all-around education of student- athletes. The two-story, 27,000 square-foot building is open throughout the day and into the evening to accommodate the extended schedules of student-athletes.

The mission of the Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs is to moni- tor, guide, and encourage student-athletes to fulfill their long-term goals, and to achieve their academic and career potential. Vickery Hall focuses on five primary areas to meet the student- athlete's needs.

ACADEMIC COMMITMENT The academic commitment aspect of Clemson's Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs has provided one of the best academic support and advising programs in the nation.

104 ^#lemson hit the national newsstands in August when TIME magazine named the

University as its top choice for "Public

College of the Year" in its 2001 edition of its college guide The Best College for You.

Clemson was spotlighted as "on the cutting edge of the communication-across-the- curriculum movement, in which faculty integrate not only writing, but also oral, visual and electronic communication in all disci- plines."

The honor grew out of a $1 million gift from Bob (Class of 1937) and Betsy Campbell, which opened the way for Clemson to become a national leader in technical communication.

Clemson's Roy and Margery Pearce Center for Professional Communication and Art Young, holder of the Campbell Chair in Technical Communication, followed as primary drivers, but the true distinction of the program is its

integration into every academic discipline. It

is a remarkable example of what can be achieved through collaboration, faculty innovation and support from private partners.

The TIME honor places Clemson in the ranks of prestigious universities such as Cornell, Sarah Lawrence and Longview Community College — also recognized as "college of the year" in different categories — plus runners up such as the University of Missouri, University of Chicago, Mount Holyoke and Temple University.
