Really? The term Death Valley goes back in time for Tiger Stadium as well. Tiger Rag was a standard tune by the jazz community in New Orleans before 1917. Since New Orleans is in Louisiana, it was our song first so screw Clemson.

Delete your account and go the frick away. You are mistaken.

LSU the real Tigers, named after Civil War unit.
Very true, the "Louisiana Tigers" who wore distinctive striped pants because they wanted to be recognized in battle, were known for their tenacity and fighting prowess. This name was once again adopted by Claire Chennault who led the "Flying Tigers" prior and subsequent to America's official entrance into WW2.
As stated above, Clemson is the real "Death Valley," but the playing of "Tiger Rag" is clearly attributed to LSU. LAT is correct. The song originated in New Orleans in 1917 and was played during LSU football games LOOOOOOONG before it was ever played at Clemson, which first started playing the song in 1942.
So to recap: Death Valley - Clemson (I call our stadium Tiger Stadium and have never called it Death Valley anyway)
Tiger Rag - MOST CERTAINLY belongs to LSU.
I can't believe more of you don't know this shite.
