Dabo's only answer should have been no answer.

He should have stated that questions should be about Clemson and/or BC. Period.

Turned it into a Clemson question. Not too bad in my opinion. Stupid question to begin with though, but what do you expect from the media?

just ignored it and said "next question". Someone was just trying to stir the pot.

And what qualifies you to make that statement or is that just your opinion.
Dabo is not going to be rude to anyone, including reporters who ask dumb questions.
He answered appropriately.

He did fine and those who think it shouldnt have been asked are so spot on. It shows the weakmindedness of the media that they can generate a quality question and resort to asking "what ifs" about things at other schoools

So it's only OK for Slurrier to be frank with the press?
Oct 8, 2013, 6:47 PM
[ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ] |

Question asked and answered with no opinion given. How can a reasonable person have a problem with that?

I can already here Spurrier's response this afternoon:
Oct 8, 2013, 12:07 PM
|
|
"Maybe some people in the Upstate should worry about their own players..."
*picks up mic and starts walking around*
"And what is the deal with Dabo, anyway folks? Am I right? Am I right?"
Reporter: "Coach, when you were playing UK--"
SOS: "Clemson?! I'm not obsessed with Clemson!! Why would you even bring that up?! I don't have dreams about me and Dabo walking on the beach!! Why would you say that?!"
"Coach, I was asking about Kentucky..."

A lot of you are getting worked up over nothing. Dabo replied just fine and no one is going to like every question news journalists ask, but so what??? Get over it.

I agree, Razz. Nothing to be gained by delving any deeper into their mess.

We have a great coach who truly "gets it" regarding all facets of the program - including the media.

I heard from a coworker that Clowney was out for the year with a yeast infection.

Many of the same people who are fine with Dabo's comments...
Oct 8, 2013, 1:28 PM

would be freaking the flip out if Spurrier had said the exact same thing about Clemson.
I would have preferred if Dabo had said nothing after "next question," but I don't think Dabo did anything overtly wrong. That said, people in this rivalry are so blinded by hypocrisy and rage that both sides would be offended of the other and defensive of their own.

His honest answer while being put on the spot. The difference I between dabo and ball sac is that ball sac would have taken a long pause and thought of the biggest smart a## statement he could come up with. So in reality he would have never said the same thing. Any hypocrisy would be colored in garnet and black.

Misleading headline. He wasn't asked about Clowney.
Oct 8, 2013, 2:37 PM
|

And he didn't comment on the situation or Clowney, only how he handles it. He then said "next question".

some of the most bone headed people. *L* Even after watching that video, I couldn't believe that journalists continued to ask the same exact questions that were already answered.
