This stuff is absolutely ridiculous. I hope they catch the morons who are responsible for this...

Clemson confirms iconic Howard’s Rock was vandalized | CollegeFootballTalk

That sucks

I would bet it was USCjr, those dirty hillbillies.

Given the geography of SC, rednecks is a more appropriate term. Whoever did it is pretty classless, though.

To the person who did this: you are a sick, sad, terrible person. Don’t think that this will go unpunished … why would you destroy one of the most iconic symbols/traditions in the history of college football? Clemson fans are nothing if not some of the kindest, most loyal people you’ll ever come across. So I guess thanks for giving us another reason to have an amazing season come fall. GO TIGERS!

Howard's rock is one of the most iconic symbols in the history of college football?

Howard Stern?

Howard Stern?

He's more historically significant than Howard's rock.

I understand it means something to Clemson fans, and it sucks someone vandalized it, but that rock ain't exactly on par with Touchdown Jesus, the Horseshoe or Bear Bryant's Museum.

It's a gotdamned rock.

Stupid tradition. Obviously its a jinx, Clemson sucks.

And mullets...don't forget about mullets...because no one in the state of Tennessee would ever wear jorts or a mullet.

It's all sport coats, ascots and wingtips in the Volunteer State. lol:

Howard's Rock is lame.

That's what I was thinking. I honestly had never heard of it until I played a game of NCAA when they started doing custom intros for schools. Sucks for Clemson, but I personally couldn't care less.

Clemson's Running Down the Hill is significantly better than Tennessee's Running Through the T.

This tweet sickened me:

@ClemsonTim: I was mad about the rock, then I realized it resembled Kenny Mckinnley's blown off head.

He has since deleted both the tweet and his account.

 

[DarthVisor]

Every fan base has its idiots. South Carolina, Clemson, and every other school in the nation has idiots, unfortunately.

Easy there cowboy. Although I respect your Mariners fandom, I cannot let this unchecked aggression stand.

Running Through the T is great, and without a doubt one of college football's best pregame traditions.

That being said, the vast majority of people who have seen both and lack a preference to one school or the other would rank Clemson's Running Down the Hill higher.

Who is this vast majority? And what study or poll are you basing this on? Just asking for some proof before you throw out blanket statements like that. (Just in case you forgot, this is a UT message board, I don't think you're going to get a lot of agreement on this particular issue. In fact, I would say the vast majority would disagree with you.)

Damn man, you really can't help it can you?

Edit: According to ESPN article Clemson is as special Iowa and Utah.

I'm not saying Howard's Rock isn't very special but why put UT down and say it's significantly better?
