you picked out a pretty irrelevant and pointless topic to argue. you then made a google search thinking that would prove a point (it didn't). you then screen capped your phone. then you uploaded that pic on a 3rd party image hosting website. then you posted said screencap thinking it would prove your point on said meaningless topic (it didn't). and he's the "special one"? well, you certainly have a "special" obsession with LSU for whatever reason.
Edit: and now you did it again
You really need to move on kid

Just getting my point across. Glad you agree Clemson was first. Pretty much everyone on tRant and your entire fanbase knows and agrees with me

Do one for Alabama - in Bryant-Denny, not just Tuscaloosa.
A&M would be cool but probably not enough sample size yet.

but if you want to say LSU ripped off Clemson, why don't you talk about who started playing "Tiger Rag" first, the Clemson fight song they ripped off of LSu and the city of New Orleans. Google Original Dixieland Jass Band
"Tiger Rag is LSU's pregame song which was first introduced in 1926. LSU is the first school to use the melody. The Louisiana State University Tiger Marching Band performs it on the field before every home game and a section of the hit song is played right after the Tigers makes a touchdown. However, the full version of the song is reserved for very special occasions."
"Tiger Rag – "The Song That Shakes the Southland" – is Clemson University's familiar fight song since 1942 and is performed at Tiger sporting events, pep rallies, and parades. A version has been arranged for the carillon on Clemson's campus, an instrument almost never used in a jazz setting."

Every SEC school's record in Death Valley - where opponents' dreams come to die
by lsufball19

Meanwhile there is 80 years of documented history showing "Death Valley" was copied from Clemson
Actually there really is no concrete documentation of when LSU began to use the term' Death Valley.' There are only stories
"Here’s some background: Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, LA, opened in 1924 and, according to the Associated Press, was situated near a gas station named “Deaf Valley.” It’s clear that, even back then, LSU fans were a boisterous bunch, and it’s possible that the stadium was given that nickname as a result – but it’s still unclear." That came 20+ years before an opposing coach nicknamed Clemson's stadium death valley but your obsession is getting to unhealthy levels. why do you care so much?

Exactly. No one EVER called Tiger Stadium "Deaf Valley". That is made-up fantasy.
Yes there was a 'Deaf Valley Shell' but that had nothing to do with the stadium or university.
To my knowledge, local media and then national media started calling Tiger Stadium "Death Valley" in the 1960s. But they weren't copying fricking CLEMSON.
The 1950S and 1960S were known for low-scoring defensive football teams, of which LSU was one. It was a natural progression from that.
What's wrong with having TWO 'Death Valleys' ? Who cares if Clemson started calling Memorial Stadium that after an opposing coach mentioned it to Coach Howard in the '30s? More power to them.
But LSU certainly didn't copy this off of Clemson.
The "Death Valley" moniker fit in well with the style of play, 'Tigers' and the intimidating sound in the 50s and 60s. They have even had it printed in huge letters inside the stadium for decades.
It was mentioned in song 'The Ballad of Archie Who', on TV and on radio, and the national media just picked up on it.

Death Valley is a direct copy from Clemson.
