Met a fellow Tiger today.


Dec 11, 2017, 11:06 PM

So today I was wearing a Clemson shirt, and an elderly gentleman greeted me with a Go Tigers. When I said he must be a fan to, he said he used to play football at Clemson 1946-1949.

His face beamed with pride as he recalled his time at Clemson. He told me about playing for Frank Howard and having an undefeated season and playing in the gator bowl. His name is John Poulos. I love meeting fellow Tigers. Clemson brings us all together.

My Dad, Gene Carson, played with John on those teams in 47 through 49. Dad was second string to John, who played left end, because John was taller and bigger than Dad. But Dad had great things to say about John. Awesome that you met him today.

I bet I could sit and listen to his stories for hours on end. Awesome.
