How can someone say that LSU is not the real death valley.

Doesn't everyone know what kind of fans LSU has? If we don't represent "Death" then I don't know who does. 5 minutes on the Rant has the power to kill.

We were originally known as "Deaf Valley".
The "Death Valley" has a different representation all together.

clemson had a claim to death valley before we did. however, that doesn't mean that ours isn't "real".

We became Deaf Valley not knowing or caring that some piss ant school in Carolina was calling their stadium Death Valley.
They act like they cured cancer, it's just a stadium nickname. Besides, they stole our fight song and Auburn's mascot and colors.

I've never seen anything definitive on this. LSU certainly doesn't talk about the story behind "Deaf" or "Death" Valley. It's not on the website. It's not on the media guide. I've only heard the tales of older Tiger fans.
Clemson has a very specific lore.

Ok, wtf. LINK
"Tiger Rag" may be a moot point since we don't even play it anymore really, but still. Can Clemson NOT steal half our traditions??? (ok fine, name-wise)

Running Down “The Hill” — Dubbed “the most exciting 25 seconds in college football,” running down “The Hill” originally started out of practicality. Before the west stands were built, the football team dressed at Fike Field House and ran from there to the gate and down the hill onto the field. Today, fans hear, “YOUR CLEMSON TIGERS,” a cannon fires, the Tiger Band plays “Tiger Rag,” and thousands of orange-clad fans cheer the moment the Tiger football team runs down the grassy hill and onto the field.
quote:
Homecoming and Tigerama — The excitement, spirit and enthusiasm of Homecoming celebrations have been a Clemson tradition since 1914. During the week preceding the game, student organizations build Homecoming displays on Bowman Field that will be judged on game day. Every Homecoming Friday night since 1957, Tigerama — one of the nation’s largest student-run pep rallies — has featured the crowning of Miss Homecoming, skits by student organizations and spectacular fireworks.
quote:
“Tiger Rag” — The Clemson College Band began playing “Tiger Rag” in 1942 after student band director Dean Ross found the sheet music in an Atlanta music store and brought it back to campus for football games. The “Tiger Fanfare” by Dr. Mark Spede was added to the “Tiger Rag” sequence in 2003. All in all, the band has more than 15 ways to play the South’s favorite fight song.

Yes, but our change to Death Valley was earned rather than adopted. Clemson can't claim that. We win.

This.
Also, I've been away from the rant for a while but how does TAMU and USCe get a better bowl than us? Didn't we beat both of them and also ranked higher?
