LSU was originally Deaf Valley, lack of proper pronunciation and the effects of the telephone game LSU ended up with Death Valley. Clemson got the nickname from an opposing coach in the 40's, like all great nicknames it was given by someone else not self assigned.

Does Clemson or LSU have the original Death Valley?
Although LSU's Tiger Stadium was constructed nearly 20 years earlier, the "Death Valley" nickname was first applied to Clemson's Memorial Stadium in reference to Howard's Rock, which was plucked for the dessert sands of the actual Death Valley in California. LSU's use of the nickname came along quite by accident. In a tongue-in-cheek reference to Clemson Memorial's nickname, LSU supporters began referring to their stadium as "Deaf Valley", due to the magnificent volume levels produced within. Unfortunately, this creativity was lost on television commentators, newspaper men, and, yep, a lot of us football fans alike, and after years of incorrectly referring to both as "Death Valley", the nickname stuck in Baton Rouge as well.
