re: Why are LSU and Clemson so similar?
Posted by Colfax on 1/10/17 at 7:07 pm
Also, in another interesting note if anybody else remembers this, but leading up to the 96 Peach Bowl with Clemson, an LSU official (may of been Joe Dean) half jokingly proposed that the loser would give up the Death Valley moniker for their stadium. Got a little traction in the media, but the Clemson AD wanted no part of it. LSU won 10-7 if memory serves me right.

Actually, LSU got it's "Tigers" nickname after the confederate regiment in the civil war known as the "Louisiana Tigers" that fought with gen Lee in his Army of Northern Virginia. It later morphed into actual tigers for obvious reasons.
LSU's "Death Valley" was actually originally called "Deaf Valley", if I remember correctly beginning around the 70's, but by the 80's, the national media and fans mistakenly kept calling it " DEATH valley" so LSU decided to just start calling it Death instead of trying to correct everybody.
I liked the "Deaf Valley", wish they still used it today. The sign under the press box actually read " Welcome to Deaf Valley" I distinctly remember.
At anyrate, from what I have read, the similarities are just coincidental and nothing more.

re: What year did you really begin to pay attention to LSU football

Although you are correct that all the games were not televised like they are now, that game would of been on tv if not.for Auburn still being on a tv ban due to being on probation. It was a pretty big game.

FSU could possibly go to the Orange Bowl due to being now ranked 1 spot ahead of Louisville. Both went 9-3 and had similar schedules. FSU lost to Louisville 63-20. Louisville fans must be pissed.
