Value of Howards Rock
Jun 28, 2013, 8:30 PM
|
|
Don't know about anyone else, but the Rock being valued at less than $2,000, concerns me more than the person who did the damage.
As I posted when it was first reported how do you put a value on History, Tradition & Pride
This really needs to be addressed by AD, Adm or us as fans and members of The Clemson Family

There may not be a way to put an actual number to it but you can look at this board right now and see it is very valuable. Hypothetical here, but what if college football was banned and all the schools started auctioning things off. What would it take to be the one to leave with that rock? Nobody is getting it for 2000 dollars. I hate clemson and I would pay more than that for it.

You wouldn't understand...

because you let a chicken in a cage wearing tights dance around to a played out song while he's sprayed with fire extinguishers.
Total Value - about 20 bucks.
Now go away...

Do you know what a chicken is?

An animal born to die. It is food.
Your only traditions include parking lots, empty warehouses, fire extinguishers, a PVC cage, eating your own mascot before games, and rail cars that only the rich can step in.
gtfo, coot.

Sentimental value means something to those concerned, but bin actual value it means little.

You can't put a price on a priceless object ...
Jun 28, 2013, 8:49 PM

$2,000 ... $2 billion dollars.
Basically it is just a random piece of stone given to Frank Howard years ago which he used as a door stop in his office for quite a while.
In that sense it is worth practically nothing.
But over the years it has gone from being a rock to "The Rock" and in the process has gone from being worthless to priceless.
It's still just a piece of stone, but it has become irreplaceable ... no amount of money could replace it.

And Yankee Stadium was the "house that Ruth built" with much more history than howard's rock. The world didn't end when they tore it down.

That just doesn't work

Yankee stadium was torn down because it was obsolete. Howard's Rock was not obsolete, it ism't going to be replaced with new Howard's Rock. While the rock has no real tangible value neither do a good number of things people hold sacred. My wedding ring isn't worth much as far as actual value, you might get a hundred bucks for it a pawn shop, but it is worth significantly more to me than anyone else.

Sounds like a very good investment
Maybe we should form an Investment LLC. Trade Mark and lease it, sell pictures & shirts
