- 1930: Ed Lowe stars in "Born Wreckless", the YMCA auditorium picture - admission is two bits.
- On Sunday, November 18, 1962, Tiger Band was hitting the sights in Washington, D.C., following a 17-14 victory over Maryland the previous day, and the cadet-uniformed musicians (Tiger Band's last year in grey) were touring the White House when they were invited out to the Rose Garden, never suspecting that they were about to meet the President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Asked by the Commander-in-Chief to perform, having no instruments, the band sings the Alma Mater in sectional harmony.
- 1978: Clemson battles the Maryland Terrapins to a 28-24 victory in College Park in what many Clemson fans declare was the greatest single Tiger football game ever played. Evenly matched squads fight a see-saw battle for the lead during the fourth quarter, but the clock runs out with Clemson in front. The Tigers accept a return bid to the Gator Bowl following the contest. The Central Spirit Committee even hired a sky-writer to spell out CLEMSON above the stadium during the game! See 1978 Clemson-Maryland football game.

This play has my vote as containing the greatest soliloquy in the English language - the speech at Agincourt!
- 2006: The number one ranked undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes meet number two ranked undefeated Michigan Blue in Columbus, Ohio, one day after legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler dies - the Buckeyes prevail, 42-39.
