Hey man you're crazy if you think Im on Clemsons side here.

After all they are known for stealing things..

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.


Of course they say they borrowed it but thats from Clemson's official Website..

How ironic. Mike the Tiger is named for Mike Donahue, and Auburn alum who was a trainer for the LSU football team in the 1920s.
