every place as a history, if its been around. it is subjective to say one places has more history or bettery history than another. obviously a uga fan has a preference for uga /Athens history.
Not in the case of Clemson. Clemson's history is Cherokee history. Are you claiming Cherokee history as Clemson history/tradition?
Cuz if you are.... I can talk alot more about the history of Athens regarding the natives, pre-1785. There's some interesting history that involves the Spanish and the French running off injuns from the coast, who followed the Altamaha to the Oconee to present day Athens.

Indians, and then all the revolutionary war generals who moved to Clemson/Anderson area and got it going, fact that Fort Mill plantation on Clemson's campus near the football stadium was owned by John Calhoun, who was vice president, etc. Dr. Clemson married Calhoun's daughter, and Dr. Clemson was first secretatary of the US department of agriculture if memory serves. Anderson SC near Clemson is known as electric city and it was the first city in the US to have a continuous supply of electric power.
