Howard's Rock Vandalized

Clemson University reports the key part of their football tradition was vandalized two weeks ago. The rock, which sat at the top of the hill overlooking the stadium nicknamed "Death Valley", was taken from California's Death Valley by an alumnus, then given to coach Frank Howard in 1965. Per tradition, players touch the rock as they enter the stadium, referring to Howard's speech that they give "110%" or keep their "filthy hands off my rock."
Speculation already points to fans of other schools, which if true, could be the worst college football-related vandalism since Harvey Updike poisoned Auburn's Toomers Oaks in 2010
