There is nothing like it. I was a student at Clemson University for 4 years and that tradition is one of the things I miss seeing the most. Even on TV, it doesn't do it justice. You have to be there, in the middle of 84,000 screaming fans with Tiger Rag being played by Tiger Band and hearing that cannon fire and seeing it for real as the players run down that hill.
Georgia fan here. I was there and I was very impressed. You guys first of all have a beautiful campus and I have been to many SEC stadiums, and your crowd noise could be compared to the top stadiums in the SEC. Better than that dump in Columbia. Great job and congrats on the win. SEE YA NEXT YEAR HOWEVER!
Thank you for your kinds words, UGA fan. I live in GA now, but my blood will always runneth orange! Wish I still lived in Clemson, SC !!! ❤🐯 Go TIGERS!!
I was at this game too, at the very front of the hill. Funny enough, I was living in Athens at the time and came up for the game. I was one of the only Clemson fans/alum around that area and UGA folks were always great to me. Couldn't say the same about columbia, where I'd get assaulted in the offseason for just wearing orange.
Big props to Georgia and especially Clemson on a great game last night. Definitely a wonderful game to spotlight Clemson, our Tigers, and our traditions on a National televised ball game. We believe, Go Tigers!
The most exciting 25 seconds in Collage football is an understatement. I would definitely call it the most exciting 6 minutes of Collage football! Great story and tradition!
So Proud of the Community of Clemson, the Tiger Team and all the Coaches especially DABO! It's so nice to see College players that aren't dummied down, well spoken and of good character come out on top! ALL IN and Always do the Right Thing!
You know what is really cool? Aaron Murray decided not to go to the draft to "win the Heisman and a National Championship", his exact words. Now, right off the bat, both of those dreams were horribly crushed and ripped away from UGA in their first game of the season by the CLEMSON TIGERS!
Absolutely! Clemson has The Hill tradition but other universities have their own traditions as equally exciting to their fans. All of them I respect and celebrate with them. I grew up in the 60's and 70's going to Clemson games as my dad was a former player and we had season tickets and nothing beat a day on the Clemson campus and then taking in the game. Looking back to this video and now coming up on 6 years later, this game marked a turning point IMO that set the Tigers on a course to where we are now. This night was where the Tigers began to realize, we indeed can do this. What a fun ride it has been and it ain't over either. GO TIGERS!
College football is not as good as it was back then. Paying the players, media, and tickets being over $200-$300 for some games has ruined it. An NFL ticket has gotten cheaper nowadays. Coming from a Clemson student.
You would think UGA could come up with a better entrance than running through the High School banner in Athens; so, I'm going to offer this; tear out one end of Samford stadium and put a hill there. At the top of the hill have a HUGE dog house in the traditional dog house style, with a giant latch on the front door. As the crowd goes nuts, have Vince Dooley, or whoever was the coach when GA won their last natty pushed up the hill in a wheel chair, unlatch the door and let da dawgs out....
LSU Alum here!!. Hey, I have all the respect in the world for the Clemson Tigers and love the university. As long as they're not playing LSU then I'm for them all the way. Awesome entrance, too bad that douchebag Brent Musburger was giving the talk LOL
I didn't see them messing with your band. They were just excited and wanted some trash talk like everyone does before the game. They didn't hinder your "tradition." I don't see how it messed with anything other than your feelings.
It meant much more to klimpsun to beat Ga, than it would've meant for Ga to beat klimpsun. We could care less they barely scraped by a mediocre Ga team, after all it's been 23 yrs since they've beaten Ga.
This is stupid. No better than any other team's "run" onto the field. Just look down the road at South Carolina for huge entrance, or Nebraska's tunnel walk. Now I'll grant you that Clemson's equals theirs too..they're all good. But "the most exciting 25 second" Brent? Um...c'mon, not so much.
That steadycam shot at the end deserves a fucking Emmy.
Even Georgia had take a peak. The best line in that video.

Goosebumps. That shot at the end when the chant comes on and the flags come up with the fireworks in the background was beautiful.
Gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME
I can't even imagine getting off the bus, from contemplative silence to sheer madness in the face of 84,000 people. I would be way too fucking amped.
This NEVER gets old!! Still gives me chills!!

Are you feeling alright? I've never had a uga fan say something nice lol
Thanks from a Clemson fan

That's my first game. I came to Clemson on Fall 2013 and THAT IS MY FIRST GAME EVER!!! I believe I'll never forget TIGER RAG!
Clemson is the best
Amazing coverage of an awesome tradition!
I’ve watched this so many times! This is unreal!
I went to Clemson and this was fucking awesome ever single time.
That was amazing coverage of an amazing tradition in college football!

Great coverage by ABC.... Go Tigers!!
"Even Georgia had to take a peek" wooooohoooooo GO TIGERS!
When you Play at Clemson.. Holy Shit!! I wouldn't want to play anywhere else
Even Georgia had to take a peek
This is the definition of hype. Wow I wish I went to this school
Bet you do
It was quite an experience both attending school here, but especially the games! NOTHING like it!
Miss living in Clemson! ❤🐯
Now that's an entrance
You know what is really cool?
Aaron Murray decided not to go to the draft to "win the Heisman and a National Championship", his exact words. Now, right off the bat, both of those dreams were horribly crushed and ripped away from UGA in their first game of the season by the CLEMSON TIGERS!
And they STILL haven't won a national title since the 80s lol
Beautiful.....GO TIGERS!!!
this shows why college football is better than the nfl

1980s Love worried that a moth may get trapped in a busted ballon. Got to protect the moths.
Finally! I've been waiting for someone to post this all week. Not a clemson fan but this was so awesome i had to watch again!
Great job getting this up Thom
this is the coolest tradition in sports.... Texan
Not a clemson fan, but even i liked this.
Thanks 😊
Very cool, even Georgia had to take a peak!
I’m going to the game vs nc state on October 20 CANT WAIT
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
awww...were you the Uga fan that called the radio show crying that your season is now over? Poor baby.
6:17 “Even Georgia had to take a peek”
i skipped right to that part, good call!
NOTHING like being there experiencing my Tigers run down the hill after touching "The Rock"! Go TIGERS!❤🐯
I'm no college football fan, but who lets some damn sports media broad touch Howard's Rock? Disgraceful.
everybody can touch it. It's a tradition
We can all touch it. I can't tell you how many times I've rubbed Howard's Rock...
your stupidity is disgraceful
So they are already at the stadium but they get on a bus to drive around the stadium and then get back on the field??? Dumb shjt

Please remove the incoherent all caps thingy...below
Just like Richt. FSU pulled the same crap when he was there.

How is this exciting
lmao who's your team?
lol
@Forty Six no but they got some quiet ass fans right now
NO
It meant much more to klimpsun to beat Ga, than it would've meant for Ga to beat klimpsun. We could care less they barely scraped by a mediocre Ga team, after all it's been 23 yrs since they've beaten Ga.
This is a great tradition, but if thats not wasting gas I don't know what is
