Glad we shut this man up

I’m just content knowing that our 2nd string football team imposed their will on the ACC conference champions

Well, when you put it like that.. The draft opt outs were probably for the best as they gave us a preview of what is to come, so it all worked out in the end win-win for everyone

He’s getting GRILLED for his comments

Ive seen 90+
I’ve seen 100

That’s how many plays Clemson ran.

Most teams fold like a cheap tent. Tennessee never blinked, never quit, and kept coming. Kept being physical, kept bringing pressure. With a limited rotation on the back end Tennessee found a way. In 4 quarters the Tennessee defense gave up 14 points, 2 FGs, 1 TD, and 2pt Conversion. When Clemson crossed the 50 Tennessee turned up the intensity even more. Different looks, different pressures, creating confusion for Clemson and the young QB.

You’ll never convince me Clemson didn’t let their egos get the best of them. They came in taking Tennessee lightly because they’re Clemson.

So go ahead Dabo and flip our burgers and give us some oranges too.

Reminds me of another team almost 40 years ago, that left the game with tail tucked between their legs.

No lie, this team absolutely bitch slapped the great Clemson Tigers, and I could not be more proud. Quarterback prodigy and all. Absorb and reflect the accomplishment that this is, and let the world know that Tennessee is historically superior, as well as the current day.

I'll cut him a little slack if he said that before South Carolina. We were number 1 at that time and it wasn't a cheap shot. South Carolina was like a 4 alarm fire where the house burned down with your pet in it (metaphor for Hooker's ACL). Also, I doubt that Dabo was singing the Heisman praises that announcers were during the game for his true freshman QB.

The fact that the announcers pumped Klubnick up so much (He hadn't lost since 6th grade) gave the impression that Dabo thought the same thing. I guarantee you, he knew he had a freshman QB and was coaching him up all during the game. The announcers did a disservice to that kid pumping him like they did in the first half. (It stopped around middle of the 3rd quarter). Ha.. His field goal kicker didn't do Klubnick any favors, but thats a sidebar.

Bottom line, Dabo was blowing smoke and crowing about at least making it to a championship game, even though the ACC schedule was like playing a whole conference of Vanderbilts and he had some big scares along the way.
These programs are all about image when it comes to recruiting and Dabo's comments were trying to keep the mystique alive after the departure of Trevor Lawrence.

Will be interesting to see if a similar thing happens to Bama when Bryce Young leaves. Sure they load up, but by golly we got Nico and Texas has Manning and others are loading up too. That mystique bubble, once burst, is hard to reclaim. You can't just be a car salesmen, like Butch Jones, and I put Dabo's comments here in that category. Pure Marketing.

He also knows that at the end of the day, he got blistered by a composition of the Tennessee team that caught the attention of all America. He will think about this very often for the next few months.

Marcia ... just sayin'

Omg .. I can't believe I did that. I was in love with her when I was 10.

Well, it's taken a month but my Clemson co-workers are finally talking to me once again. Guess they got over the butthurt.

GO VOLS!!!

 

[JRich]

I'm not a fan of his, but nothing he said is wrong. Offensive to some, maybe, but not wrong.

We choose to be offended or not.

And yet the goal is always to outscore your opponent.

Oh I hope not!

That team wouldn't be from the Sunshine State would they

Draft opt outs are a win win for both the players who are preparing for their future and the ones behind them getting some irreplaceable repetitions. Anyone against players opting out is only mad for selfish reasons.

Opt outs are themselves selfish. They're a loss for the team and the fans.

Racist.
Hypocrite.
Fake.

Dabo is the worst of everything.


Oh and liar. He said he'd quit if players were ever able to be paid while he makes $10mm/year

 

[1989Vol]

Don't look now but we were suppose to beat them.

We're the SEC they are the ACC.

Dabo has 2 Natties as the result of 2 five* QBs and "down years" in CFB.

Clemson has SUCKED the past 2 years, even by ACC standards.

Happy we won but lets stop "defining our program" based on this Orange Bowl win.................(their freshman QB is awful.)

Time to move on, we got work to do.
