We would schedule this and then turn it into a neutral site game at Georgia Dome.

Also. The article is just an SEO troll.

WAT? WUT? WAT?
WRITER should have googled this: so, it's ok for clemson to get it's colors and tiger name from AUBURN!!!
Orange, Purple and the Tiger — The first "colors" of Clemson can be seen in an early diploma displayed on campus. But to everyone's surprise, they're red and blue! The orange and purple began when Walter Merritt Riggs formed Clemson's first football team in 1896. Because Riggs had come from Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama (later renamed Auburn), he borrowed ideas from their team colors, orange and purple, and their mascot, the Tiger. Although the football team was known as the Tigers and often used "Eat 'Em Up, Tigers" as a slogan, it wasn't until 1954 that a Clemson student donned the mascot suit. In 1993, the Tiger was joined by the Tiger Cub.

It's shite like this that pisses me off we didn't win the meaningless chicken bowl.
Otherwise I wouldn't care one bit.

According to Jadaveon Clowney from South Carolina, there is only one Death Valley and it is in Baton Rouge, LA.

This is truly a place where opponents dreams come to die.
Clemson calls their home "Death Valley" because it was hot? That is grounds for nickname revocation right there! and also..."Clemson Welcomes You To Death Valley"!? Seriously!? It's not a tea party. Who the frick cordially welcomes you to a football stadium...ours says "Welcome to Death Valley" almost like saying "...good luck you little shite."
what an idiot.

Is he sure there isn't maybe one little reason why he doesn't like LSU?

In 1945, Presbyterian’s football coach bestowed the nickname ”Death Valley” on Clemson’s Memorial Stadium because of the unyielding heat that reminded him of the real Death Valley desert in California. Former Clemson head coach Frank Howard cemented the nickname in 1966 by putting a rock from the actual Death Valley on a pedestal atop the hill above the east end zone
quote:
Tiger Stadium was allegedly called “Deaf Valley” because of the stadium’s deafening noise but, as former LSU sports information director Bud Johnson told The Advocate, morphed into “Death Valley” after LSU and Clemson played each other in the 1959 Sugar Bowl. “No one called it Death Valley here until after we played in the Sugar Bowl,” Johnson told The Advocate.

Putting a false picture up of a nearly empty LSU stadium justifies his cause I guess. Damn idiot, but he has no reason to hate either program.

then he re-justifies the case for LSU later when he says that we have more history, tradition, and hardware then Clemson...but then says Clemson "should" have soul possession of 'Death Valley' because they need "better branding"
