"Clemson Fan Arrested For Vandalizing Howard's Rock- WBTV- Campus police announced that Micah Rogers, of Pisgah Forest, was arrested and charged with malicious injury to real property and unlawful entry to enclosed places. Capt. Eric Hendricks said Rogers jumped the fence to gain access to the rock, which sits atop the hill in Memorial Stadium. The football team rubs the rock before running down the hill at every home game. Hendricks said as far as they know, Rogers has no affiliation with the university though his truck, determined to be a 1993 Ford F-250, had a Clemson sticker on it.
Well this is awkward. All the Clemson fans calling for the head of a Gamecock (in a totally not gay way) when this happened last month must be on suicide watch. There’s more denial in that state right now than an Suzie Orman taking phone calls from a bunch of Nigerians. It makes sense when you think about it: a Clemson fan wants a piece of his favorite team’s tradition, so he took it. Open and shut case. But there’s no chance people are going to accept the official explanation for this. I’m giving it two days max until the conspiracy theories start rolling in. “He wasn’t even officially affiliated with the university. Anyone can buy a sticker and put it on their window. Why won’t they release the tapes? What are they trying to hide? The truck was actually a missile! Howard’s Rock was an inside job!""TallOne basically summed that up pretty well. Not a great look here for Clemson fans calling for the head of the idiot South Carolina fan that defaced their rock when it was one of their own the whole time. And you know they'll do whatever they can to mask this. Like, "Oh, guess what! We just interrogated him and he was an undercover Gamecocks fan! He is in no way affiliated with Clemson!". On the likely chance that happens, I can't do anything but respect Clemson fans. Pure hustle on their part to try and stay squeaky clean. Now go get another rock, and try and make sure someone form your own fanbase doesn't deface it.
PS-If the rock meant that much to them, why not have someone watching it? As absurd as that sounds, there has to be a security guard that does sweeps of the stadium every couple of hours at night, right? Like, this is a university, surely you can fix up a camera to watch it. Maybe put it in a safe until games or something? Use your basic knowledge, Clemson.
