Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney called Todd Ellis’ comments about Clemson’s Walk of Champions “ridiculous” when a caller asked him about it on Tiger Calls Monday night, Swinney’s weekly call-in radio show.
On Will Muschamp’s call-in show last week, South Carolina’s play-by-play announcer suggested Clemson’s “Walk of Champions,” provokes the South Carolina student section to throw things on the field at the Tigers during the game.
Ellis, a former South Carolina quarterback, suggested Clemson should stop doing it, and though he said it does not excuse the students from throwing things on the field, it gets them amped up and causes some of the things that happened two years ago when the Tigers last visited Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia.
