SUPER SATURDAYS As Super Sunday for football begins to fade into the background for another year, Super Saturday is gaining special significance for the Bulldogs. Three straight Sat- urdays in a row the Bulldogs have proven to themselves and the world that they are a good college basketball team. On Jan. 6 the Bulldogs overcame Clemson 58-56 for the first time since 1969. One week later, The Citadel defeated Marshall 58-57 for its first road victory since the 1976-1977 season. Then on Jan. 20, before a home crowd of 4,490 roaring fans, the Bulldogs proved that they were for real when they overcame a determined Furman team 78-76 to im- prove their overall record to 10-2 and 4-0 in the confer- ence. Super Saturday is the biggest thing to happen to the Citadel Athletic Program in a long time and with a little luck it should continue to be so. Above: Nesbit goes one-on-one with Clemson guard.
