Clemmers were on probation & were not allowed to be televised “live”. Their games were shown tape-delayed at 11:30 p.m. Sat. night. Watched here in Greenville on WSPA channel 7 out of Spartanburg.I’ve seen posters on here ask what a “playmaker” was or what it meant ( which always caught me off guard, but I digress…). Mike Hold was the consummate playmaker.
That game wasn’t televised, at least in my area, but they had replays (“delayed broadcast” they called it) at like 11pm or so which I watched. Listened to it live on radio; exciting game.
Paul Vogel the middle linebacker was a tackling machine 164 total tacklesThat fire ant defense was something special.
I watched it live on closed circuit TV at the Coliseum here in Columbia. That might have been the loudest crowd I've ever been in. At the very end, when Hold offered the football to "the Fridge," I thought the roof was coming off the place.Clemmers were on probation & were not allowed to be televised “live”.

It was shown at FMA on what was called Closed Circuit TV. Place was packed!I’ve seen posters on here ask what a “playmaker” was or what it meant ( which always caught me off guard, but I digress…). Mike Hold was the consummate playmaker.

I went to the closed circuit broadcast at the Coliseum for the 86 game; fun environment although the video typically sucked on those closed circuit shows; was sometimes hard to tell which team was which.I watched it live on closed circuit TV at the Coliseum here in Columbia.

I was surprised this video didn't show either one of those. Hold dropping the ball at The Fridge's feet was a perfect coda to that game.I was sitting in that west end zone for that game and when our kicker missed that PAT our crowd went flat until we saw the penalty flag, we got a second chance and the rest was history. Hold handing the ball to the "fridge" is a piece of history I will never forget.
A great photo if you can find it!

Yes you did, as did I. In 1982 I was escorted out of the South UD upthar by Pickens County’s finest in the 4th quarter. Talked my way out of going to jail on the way out with my law enforcement escort. LolIf I'm not mistaken I paid to watch that game via closed circuit at the old coliseum.
And a damn good soccer player as well. Had the duty of trying to check him when he was playing right wing for Eastside. He played soccer the way you would expect a linebacker to play soccer. Was a long afternoon for me.Paul Vogel the middle linebacker was a tackling machine 164 total tackles
Man that's Led Zepplin as H_ll right there now!! =;-pHold dropping the ball at The Fridge's feet was a perfect coda to that game.
I was there as well. The made PAT was caught by a guy sitting right below me. To this day it was my most gratifying experience at a football game ever. Nothing like winning on the road......especially versus that team!I was sitting in that west end zone for that game and when our kicker missed that PAT our crowd went flat until we saw the penalty flag, we got a second chance and the rest was history.

Yes...I remember that run of “closed-circuit” games we had with them from about 1981-1986. “Closed-circuit” was the exception to the “live televised” ban for the taters in ‘84. Just couldn’t watch it “live” in someone’s home or at a sports bar. I believe the 1986 “tie” at taterville was the last USC-tater game that was not televised by a conventional means (other than closed-circuit at both schools’ coliseums). There was one in the ‘90’s that appeared to be destined for no “conventional” live-airing, but a petition campaign by fans of both schools got ESPN to pick it up...on the deuce, maybe??I watched it live on closed circuit TV at the Coliseum here in Columbia. That might have been the loudest crowd I've ever been in. At the very end, when Hold offered the football to "the Fridge," I thought the roof was coming off the place.
