re: Someone explain Clemson

It’s Klempson. ‘Nuff said.

They also play the same fight song in a different key. The whole totality has been weird for decades

I mean it’s the Cajun cafe in South Carolina for me bro

Show your work baw! Don’t just say they started it in 1950. Show some proof.

It'll be ok, it'll be ok.

For some, "Death" actually predated "Deaf" in Baton Rouge. On Jan. 1, 1959, when LSU and Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon capped the school's first national title with a 7-0 victory in the Sugar Bowl, some of those fans stole "Death" when describing the home valley. Why? Because they believed they had earned that right after defeating the team that was already using the name for its home stadium.

Yep, Clemson.

The first known "Death Valley" reference tossed Memorial Stadium's way came more than 10 years before Peele's nickname. In 1945, Lonnie McMillan, head coach of the rival Presbyterian College Blue Hose, had just endured a 76-0 rout at the hands of the orange-and-white Tigers. At the time, tradition held that PC and Clemson always played the season opener. And those games, in September in South Carolina, are essentially like playing football inside a pottery kiln, especially on Clemson's home field, which sits in a natural gorge, built atop bedrock and surrounded by reflective white concrete...

While there's no debate about the origins of the Death Valley title in Clemson, there is still some murkiness around its roots in Baton Rouge. It was still called "Deaf Valley" by most fans throughout the 1970s and '80s. The name seemed to become forever cemented by the infamous Earthquake Game on Oct. 8, 1988

So one man called it that? Got it

They have a rock from death valley which they rub and kiss. It is pretty old. No doubt some animal has peed on it when it was out west.

We have STTDB, they don’t.

Little you know what syndrome
