Sorry little one. "Death Valley" is a media concoction as far as LSU goes. Who knows? They probably wanted to make it look like all southern teams had the same nicknames, songs and other traditions.

Clemson's claim to that name is well documented. Our claim to Tiger Rag is well documented as well, as is the historic basis for using the name "Tigers."

Personally, I could care less whether or not we ever call the place Death Valley again, as it is a relatively modern practice. Tiger Stadium is just fine with me.
