Clemson football: Go Tigers

They rub Howard's Rock, the cannon fires, and the Tigers run down the Hill into Death Valley: the most exciting 25 seconds in college football. Eighty thousand fans in orange, "Tiger Rag" on repeat, and a program that has made a habit of playing for championships. Clemson fans paint every road stadium orange.
