New clemsux football tradition...

This article brought this to mind......they should get someone to dress up like Frank Howard and before the game have him throw the rock out on the field...(like they threw it away after it was a door stop) then have someone run and pick it up...run up the hill...place it on the pedestal and then have the players rub it as they run down the hill....they could then name it " the thrown away door stop memorial". That would be the proud history of the rock and work the players and crowd into a frenzy......lol.

It's interesting that this article mentions protecting the view of the Rose Bowl.....reminds me of the thread on protecting the Horseshoe.

Protecting the view of the Rose Bowl

Some images are eternally burned in our minds. They’re like mental snapshots that are always there. In college football, nothing beats the view of the San Gabriel Mountains hovering in the backdrop of the Rose Bowl. It’s truly spectacular, even more so as the sun is setting on the West Coast. The Rose Bowl has long been one of the most iconic settings in all of sports, but consider this a decree that nothing -- expansion, renovation, absolutely nothing -- should ever block the view of the sun setting against the San Gabriel Mountains.
