ROCK related..has NDame's famed Moses #1 Statue been harmed

OR the front of its library that is covered all over in mosaic tile with art depicting Jesus with outstretched arms (hence, the famous "Touchdown Jesus" scenario) been harmed? I don't know.

But..if a school had some unreal football history due to a famous statue or art relic..then it would be Notre Dame (I've been there twice and am in awe of these powerful images that have been used in relationship to their football mystique and why they are almost impossible to beat at home).

We are not NDame or is Howard's rock a Moses or Jesus-like symbol..since our ROCK is relatively a new kid on the block of "legend" and bringing power & victory to the home team..But over the years this piece of stone from Death Valley has taken on a large enough entity to maybe warrant occasional vandalism from opposing fans or just people who dislike Clemson..and its success.

Saying..new fame brings responsibilities and our Athletic Administration & Police Dept will have to make more up-to-date decisions on how to protect this Icon that Coach Frank Howard left us..in demanding that our Football Team give 110% or don't play for CLEMSON.

Lastly, it's unique that our little college nestled & hidden in the red clay of upper SC has carved out a niche for itself in college football history & lore..from Heisman to Howard to Ford to Bowden to Swinney..and thus our ROCK, HiLL, PAW, FANS & TEAMS are known more & more to others who appreciate success, spirit, dedication & loyalty. Let's keep it alive & well!

You must not have watched ND much last season. ND lost to both Northwestern and Louisville at home. Ugh! In answer to your question, the Touchdown Jesus mural and the We're # 1 statue of Moses have not been the subject of any attacks by vandals.
