Old news segment shows Herschel's Trans Am in high school
- Thread starter 55vett
- Start date
I never heard the Clemson Walker deal
The famous one is Eric Dickerson getting the gold trans am from Texas AM then going to SMU
He still wont say flat out it but his interviews and smiles and the way he answers it confirms it was from Texas AM

Check out the color of the Trans Am. If Clemson would have purchased, it would have been orange. I heard Clemson boosters just paid his Dad's house payment for 2 years plus incidentals. I also heard Herschel got $10.00/seat for a block of 600 seats for every home game he played!
boy, the rules certainly have changed....to hear coaches talking about an unsigned prospect just sounds weird now!
That makes sense since he went to Georgia, i never heard the Clemson deal and they didnt seem to miss back then, if they wanted to buy you they did, the Dickerson car is talked about so much because the school he never to went bought the car. Some booster was like, now what?
Hard to believe Clemsux was in his final three at that time, but that's when all sports at Dung College were on the brink of the death penalty! Remember Tates Lock? Bill McClellan? That place was was like the mafia in those days.
I read a story (may have been SI) where Hershel took a visit to Clemson, and drove there in his Transam. When he drove up in his new ride, Ford said, "Well, I guessed we lost him."
Since you brought it up, here's the SI story of the whole thing.
