I don't think anybody ever said the rock was precious. lol
it is a typical hokey college tradition
it is crazy that you know so much about Clemson history that you even know the guy who came up with the idea to get a rock from Death Valley in Cali is an Alabama grad. lol I didn't even know that and I'm a Clemson guy.
Clemson isn't that far from Bama so it isn't really that odd. Auburn and Clemson are both about the same distance from Atlanta.
The first Auburn guy to leave for Clemson was Walter Riggs and he grew up in SC. I think he wanted to help his home state university which had not existed long before he arrived. He then lured Heisman from Auburn to Clemson somehow. If not for his relationship with Heisman at Auburn, that probably never happens.

What kind of fan wouldn't know the history behind the man who the rock is named after? It's one of the most well known, unique traditions in all of college athletics. Howard's Rock...
That would be like a Bama fan not knowing where Bear Bryant came from.
