THIS was the beginning!!!! Of course, it was 8 months after I graduated from Clemson....
But now our third Championship game in 4 years!
Remarkable. Major props to Coach Bowden, Terry Don Phillips and all the Clemson fans who have supported our Coach for the last 10 years. I have learned leadership skills from Dabo amongst many other things.
Cheers to Monday night going the way we all hope!

Dear Students,
I want to take time to thank Terry Don Phillips and Clemson University for the opportunity to serve as Clemson's Head Coach for the remainder of the season.
I'm extremely excited about the remaining games, particularly our next game against Georgia Tech. It is extremely important to me to engage our student body so they can get behind our team and support these players for the remainder of the season.
Student support is critical to our team and to me personally; therefore, for the Georgia Tech game, I'd like to implement our solid orange concept full force by having an orange-out for the Georgia Tech game. Our team will wear all orange for Georgia Tech and I ask you to join in by wearing orange to support the team. Additionally, we will have the first ever TigerWalk, which will begin from Perimeter Road (near Jervey Athletic Center) and continue through the parking lot (Lot #5) located behind the West End Zone as they enter the locker room to dress for the game. The team will arrive approximately at 10:00 a.m. and I ask that you show up and be loud and proud!
I also plan to invite all the students to a practice and plan for a pep rally in the near future. Student support is vital to our success and I encourage you to get behind this team and demonstrate the Clemson spirit. You will be hearing from me with regards to the pep rally and student practice invitation. We need to exemplify One Clemson.
Thank you in advance for your support and remember - Wear Orange and Go Tigers!

Dude immediately went to work and got the wheels in motion . I am ashamed to say that until 2010 ended , I wasn't much of a Dabo fan . I saw by the end of that season ( even after losing a second straight to Sakerlina ) that Dabo Swinney had a knack for it . He won me over completely the next year .
