Tiger Burn - Thousands Cheer as Tater's Head Falls Off

As the orange glow of the flaming feline lit up the crowd at Tiger Burn last night, a most surreal feeling swept over me. I looked through the viewfinder and staring back were thousands of cameras. Only a cosmetic metal barricade separated me from the assault. I was severely outnumbered by the crowd that passionately cheered as the cat's head tumbled to the earth in the blaze. The Tater Burn tradition has roots in a 1901 upset of the upstate team, a parade banner of a gamecock crowing over a beaten tiger, 300 clempson cadets responding by affixing their bayonets to rifles to retrieve said banner and a stand-off between Carolina students at the horseshoe wall on Sumter Street.

Beat clemson.
