- 1961: A few minutes before Clemson football players entered the field for pre-game warm ups, a
group of Sigma Nu fraternity members ran onto the field, jumping up and down and cheering in football uniforms that resembled

falling down as they attempted to do calisthenics. They would also do football drills where guys would drop passes and miss
the ball when trying to kick it... Clemson fans quickly realized that they had been tricked, and some of them angrily ran
