re: The box and Death Valley is there anywhere else with that type of atmosphere

LSU fans may be surprised to find out that Swinney is technically right — despite Tiger Stadium being built almost 20 years prior to Clemson’s Memorial Stadium.
As the story goes, Memorial Stadium’s nickname began in the early 1950s from the cemetery that was perched on the adjacent hill overlooking the field.
The name was solidified in the early 1960s when former Clemson coach Frank Howard received what came to be known as “Howard’s Rock” from an alumnus who had plucked it from the sands of California’s Death Valley.
One local legend suggests that a few years later, LSU began to refer to Tiger Stadium as “Deaf Valley” as a way to differentiate between the Tigers of Clemson, but eventually shifted into “Death Valley” after sports writers and opposing fans from other parts of the country confused the thick Southern accent locals used.

From your paper

What's particularly embarrassing is that Clemson falls over itself copying Auburn... yall found the one thing they did first for themselves to copy.
