~~"Death Valley really lives up to its image. I was im- pressed with this stadium. When you put 80,000~~

~~"Clemson's record at home is not a coincidence.~~

~~Running down the hill is a part of that record. You get~~

~~so inspired, and so much of college football is about emotion. You get out of that bus and you hear the~~

~~roar of the crowd and it gives you chills up and down your spine." Former Clemson All-America kicker David Treadwell~~

~~"The rock has strange powers. When you rub it,~~

~~and run down the hill, the adrenaline flows. Its the most emotional experience I've ever had." Six-time All-Pro and former Clemson All-American Michael Dean Perry~~

~~"Running down the hill is still talked about every-~~

~~where I go. Players who played against Clemson~~

when I was in college remember us running the hill and thinking we would gain some type of spirit. The adrenalin rush was unbelieveable for a Clemson player and quite a shock for the opponent." Former Clemson All-American Jerry Butler

~~"Last spring (1 999), New York Knicks Head Coach Jeff Van Gundy came to Clemson for a coaching~~

~~clinic. One of the first things he said was, 'before I leave I've got to rub Howard's Rock.' So, we brought him to the rock about midnight one night. He rubbed~~

~~the rock, but he wouldn't run down the hill. He was a~~

~~little afraid of that." Clemson Head Basketball Coach Larry Shyatt~~

~~"It has always been a dream to run down that hill.~~

~~You get to the top and it's emotional because you think~~

of all the players that have done the exact same thing that you are doing. When you get to the bottom you look up and see 80,000 people hollering and you realize you have a tradition to live up to." Clemson Junior Center Kyle Young

first placed on the pedestal at the top of the hill on September 24, 1966, for a game Clemson won 40-35 over Virginia. In that game, the Tigers rallied from 18 points down with 17 minutes to play. The team

~~Antonio still remembers the day he made the presentation of the Tiger Paw to Frank Howard, then the Clemson Athletic Director. "He~~

Vickery Hall opened in the spring of 1991 and was the first support facility in the country built solely for the all-around education of student- athletes.

The mission of the Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs is to moni- tor, guide, and encourage student-athletes to fulfill their long-term goals, and to achieve their academic and career potential. Vickery Hall focuses on five primary areas to meet the student- athlete's needs.

~~"There is no greater privilege in life than being a wife and mother."~~

This is the philosophy of Lynn Merritt, who with this philosophy earned herself the honor of being Tiger Brotherhood's 2000 Mother of the Year. Mrs. Merritt has a husband of 35 years, three children and three (almost four) grandchildren. She always tries to be there for her children. In fact, she carries a cell phone

~~with her at all times so her family can always get a hold of her.~~

~~Mrs. Merritt was born in Six Mile, SC, but at the age of nine her family moved to Powdersville, SC. She met her future husband Gene Merritt while attending Wren High School~~

~~in Piedmont, SC and began dating while still in high school. After graduation, Mrs. Merrit attended Anderson College and Mr, Merritt~~

went to Clemson. During Gene's first year at Clemson, Mrs. Merritt attended her first Clemson football game. She remembers this game as "the most incredible and exciting thing." Mrs. Merritt and her family have been attending Clemson football games ever since.

Mr. and Mrs. Merritt were married in 1965 and they moved into Mr. Merritt's house that has been in his family for four generations. To this day, Mr. Merritt has never lived in another house. The year after the Merritts were married, Mr. Merritt graduated from Clemson with a Dairy Science degree and Mrs. Merritt graduated with a Business and Home Economics degree. Mr. Merritt and his brother, Bob, began managing a dairy and chicken farm and also did row cropping. When Bob graduated from Clemson in 1968, the brothers continued to be partners. Today, they operate Merritt Brothers Landscape Contractors. In January of 1968, the Merritts had their In addition to being a mother and grandmother, Lynn Merritt also has first son, Tom.

One of the greatest things about college football and one biggest differences between a college gridiron battle and one in the professional arena, is the pageantry. The enthusiasm of the crowd is not only caused by what hap- pens on the field, it can be accelerated by the cheerleaders and the band. Today is no different. In fact, the spirit and pageantry may be even greater as Tigers make their way back to Clemson for homecoming. For today's game against Maryland, the Ti- ger Band will make its trek around the North side of the stadium and enter the field sound- ing "Tiger Rag." The band will then take the field and begin its pre-game festivities. It will begin by playing the "Orange Bowl March" which leads into "Tiger Rag." At this point, the band forms the script Tigers, and the "i" is dot- ted. Gracing the field and holding the distinct honor of dotting the "i" today is Lynn Ward Merritt.
