I'm quite familiar with their provenance, and a big supporter of getting a M-4 medium tank as a memorial to the first superintendent...it's a tank not a building and all the wailers on both sides can pound sand!!!

I don’t know why I can’t stop laughing looking at this thing on the U-Haul dolly. It was certainly a wtf moment yesterday but I forgot all about it until seeing this thread. Quite funny

But what kind of noise does it make?

Doesn't look like the one at a Saints game that blew the guys fingers off.

That shite had so much negative aura. Matches the run down the hill perfectly.

I saw a cannon like that at a Hallmark once.

It’s hilarious you guys get a kick out of the cannon. I’ve been a fan my whole life and honestly never think of the cannon. It’s just something they do when Clemson scores. Makes it easy to tell if the team made a field goal or a TD when watching from a distance.

How far do you have to be to not be able to tell if a guy crosses the end zone with the ball or someone kicks one through the uprights?

Seems everything they copy is like a smaller version of someone else. Cannon, lol. That mascot. They are just paper tigers at best.

Hell St Amant HS has one they fire off after each touchdown that could probably shoot a 3 or 4 inch ball.

We were told the Clemson tradition and fanfare was special.
Then we saw your small stadium…saw you bussed the team so you could run down a hill, and this little cannon.
It’s hard to understand if it’s serious.

Butch brings way too much information back to LSU, he’s unmatched with knowledge on LSU and the Military. He’s a good one to have Food and Drinks with!
