Of course Clemson is #1 nothing shocking there…the reason for this thread is to let my cock friends know they are #5. 
It would be a lot cooler without the little orange balloons.

Nothing like rubbing a rock and running down a hill. If they all would just yell wheeeeeeeeee on the way down.

They probably do, you just can’t hear them with all the noise.
By the way, how does setting off fire extinguishers and playing techno garbage noise get you number 5???

I’d have to see who voted. Whooo, orange balloons and rock rubbing and running down a little hill.

Only in Clemzzzon do they board a bus on one side of the stadium …Just to drive 200 yards to the opposite side of the stadium…to get off the bus and run down a hill. Sounds like stadium engineers built the locker room on the wrong dam side. Its lame. 2001 entrance isn’t much better. We just like them because they are the teams we root for.

Yeah, it’s no fire extinguishers, 80’s sci-fi music, kid in a chicken suit and a dinner bird sitting on spray painted PVC sewer pipe but it’ll do.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Love running down the hill, but they really should stop the balloons.
Its like watching NASCAR, sooner or later…

“The hill” started before memorial stadium was built. We played on Riggs field, which is now our soccer field. Riggs is adjacent to Fike Field House, which is now our student fitness center, and players would get dressed in the field house and run down the hill onto Riggs field.
The Rock and Memorial Stadium are also down hill from Fike Field House. It was just that we built our football practice facilities and athletic complex farther away from campus than our stadium instead of building our stadium so far from campus like another school that will remain unnamed, whose fans somehow think that it has more tradition than Clemson…
Because of tradition, the hill is on the core campus side of the stadium, and it will always exist thus, along with Howard’s Rock. Now you understand why “engineers did what they did.”
Without tradition, we would have just gone all Williams-Brice on it and built it without any relation to our campus whatsoever and named it for a woman who gave the school a bunch of money…

Something that many schools do as opposed to naming it after a desert that in no way resembles Clemson or vice versa. Yes, I know the story, it is fascinating.

Clemson’s stadium is actually named for servicemen who have given their lives for this country and state, in particular, former Clemson cadets.
Death Valley is merely a nickname another team’s coach gave it.
Frank Howard field + Memorial Stadium = “Death Valley”
Williams-Brice Stadium + Darla Moore field?? = ?

I’ve never witnessed this arguement, probably b/c it’s stupid and bias, but does the WB get any “tradition” credit for being older?
“Clemson’s stadium is actually named for servicemen who have given their lives for this country and state, in particular, former Clemson cadets.”
This sounds preachy , like you’re intentionally trying to make him feel bad. Pretty sure DF is a LEO, so he’s done his part as a serviceman.
Just telling folks that our stadium’s named “in memory of” folks who served, while WB was named for a lady who left money to S.Car for the stadium to be expanded. There’s a difference there that I certainly wished to point out.
Also, I am pretty sure DF would rather have an “in honor of” rather than “in memory of” at this point in his life; I could be wrong, and he may want neither. I suspect the later although he is deserving of both eventually for his service. Meant no disrespect towards anybody. Only defending what some folks were mocking…
Are you sure WB is that much older? I would be willing to bet that the point in time they each belonged to their respective universities was near the same, if not the same, year. Our football team worked on building the stadium, and it was designed by graduates and professors in our own engineering program. I believe Carolina’s stadium was designed by the gubmint during the New Deal. I could be wrong though, and each has undergone big changes since those days.
The only point I want y’all to understand is that running down the hill goes back to even before our present day stadium existed. It’s a …big deal…

Clemson fans are fond of hills in general. I always thought “there’s something in these hills” sounded more cryptic than majestic. Like, “there’s something in these hills boys, keep your wits about cha.” Anyways enjoy your hill(s). I like your description better than every bandwagon clemson fan describing it as “the most exciting 30 seconds in college football” based on what some college gameday talking head said to get the crowd pumped up.
I know the original carolina statium was started in the early 30’s and Memorial was the 40’s. So not a big difference, but we’ll split hairs for arguement sake. WB has had several additions, i’m sure some of the engineers and gov’t employees who worked on them were SC grads.
