Clemson's Football Entrance Called Best In Nation

To many rabid college football fans in the Upstate, Clemson's entrance - taking a bus-ride from the locker rooms to the top of a steep bank at the stadium's east side before rubbing Howard's Rock and galloping down the hill onto the field - is as good as it gets in college athletics. 

KW Rosenfeld of Yahoo.com share those sentiments. In his story, College Football's Top 25 Entrances, Rosenfeld ranks Clemson's entrance into Death Valley as the top in all of college football. 

"There's nothing elaborate here, but it has all the elements of a great entrance. Anticipation builds as the Tigers mass in a tunnel at the top of a hill above one of the endzones. When finally given the go-ahead, the players each touch Howard's Rock -- symbolic of giving maximum effort -- then sprint down the hill to the field flanked by crazed fans, while the marching band blasts 'Tiger Rag.' It's referred to as 'The Most Exciting 25 Seconds in College Football,' and it might just deserve that description."

Of course, Rosenfeld doesn't get it all right. There is no actual tunnel at the top of the hill at Memorial Stadium - the players simply hop out of the buses and enter underneath the scoreboard to the famous hill. 

Still, Rosenfeld's feelings on the famous entrance is shared by many. He also holds the entrance of another Palmetto State school in high regard, ranking South Carolina's as No. 14.
