A key part of one of the most iconic traditions in college football has been vandalized, as Clemson officials confirmed that Howard’s Rock was damaged earlier this month.
“We take vandalism, especially of such an important part of our history, very seriously,” Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich said in a statement Sunday night. “Police are investigating.”
Howard's Rock with a piece broken off. (via @AndrewBeeler)Howard’s Rock sits on a hill above Memorial Stadium, where Clemson players have rubbed it before every taking the field for every home game since 1966. The stone was brought to Death Valley, South Carolina from Death Valley, California by a Tigers alum.
According to reports, on either June 2nd or 3rd, vandals removed the Plexiglass casing around the stone and broke off a chunk of it. The pedestal the stone sits on was not damaged and the case around the rock has been replaced, but the piece of stone is missing. While the police haven’t named any suspects, that hasn’t stopped some of the Tiger faithful from looking toward their rivals from Columbia.

Didn't Dabo go to Bama? We all know how Bama fans have a tendency to vandalize and harm local landmarks...

It was probably one of their over emotional, delusional, lunatic fans who chopped it off and is now worshiping it in their basement shrine along with a strand of Danny Ford's hair and Taj Boyd's jock strap.

Clemson is just trying to copying Auburn on something else.... Come up with your own mascot, colors, tradations, and erreplaceble objects that get damaged...

How can this be one of college footballs most iconic traditions, when the rock hasn't even been on campus but since 1966. Hell, I'm 47 years old. There are high schools with richer tradition than that.
Just saying............
