Howard's Rock and "The Hill"
Howard's Rock, originally from Death Valley, California, was first placed on a pedestal at the top of The Hill in 1966, but it did not become tradition until just before a football game against Wake Forest on September 23, 1967. Legendary coach Frank Howard told his players if they gave 110%, they could receive the privilege of rubbing the rock. The team won, and now football players rub it for luck as they run down The Hill to the cheers of thousands of Clemson fans.
Known as the most exciting 25 seconds in college football, running down The Hill began out of practicality. The football team dressed at Fike Field House and ran from there to the gate and down the grassy hill onto the field at the start of each game.
