CLEMSON, S.C. -- It felt a little like a football Saturday at Clemson. With ESPN's 'Game Day' show originating from Littlejohn Coliseum during the day, approximately 4,000 students were in the arena by lunch time to yell and scream and do things students do.
Two hours before tipoff Saturday night, the parking lot was jammed at the legendary Esso Club and a crowd of fans was gathered outside despite a cold mist that was falling.
It was a nice gesture by Clemson coach Oliver Purnell and his wife, Vicky, who presented a $125,000 check to Coaches vs. Cancer prior to Saturday night's game. The donation comes from the money raised at the Tigerfest charity event last fall.
