In 1896, football coach Walter Riggs came to Clemson, then Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina, from Auburn University. He had always admired the Princeton Tigers, and hence gave Clemson the Tiger mascot.

Clemson calls him (or her) The Tiger. EDSBS named it 8-Ball. These are all required reading.
