I just reread Dabo's "rant" and let me tell you something

there was nothing in it that was ignorant. A lot was made of the fact that Spurrier didn't say what was originally attributed to him, but dhe tweet published on the USC football office’s Twitter account read: “’We aren’t LSU, and we aren’t Alabama. But we sure ain’t Clemson.” - Steve Spurrier.’ Not only that, but Dabo started his "rant" saying that he wasn't sure if Spurrier said it.
Let's look at the FACTS in Dabo's "rant:"
"It's not the first time they've won 3 in a row." - True
"I think they just had their second 10-win season and they won a championship back in 1969 and the 2010 SEC East."- Their 2 seasons with 10 wins were 1984 and 2011. Obviously they won the ACC in 1969 and the 2010 SEC East
"And this rivalry ... there's a lot of rivalries out there and this is more of a domination. That's the fact. My kids' grandkids won't ever live long enough to see this become a rivalry." - I'd say 65-40-4 is a domination, especially since we're up 27-14-1 since 1970. If they won 2 out of every 3 years for 75 years, then the series would be tied. So I'd say he's safe with the other part, too.
"This is a place that's won a national title, 17 conference championships, two division titles."- All true
"Heck, we've won more bowl games then they've ever even been to."- At the time, the gamecocks had been to 16 bowls, with a 4-12 record. We were 16-17 in bowls at the time. So I guess technically he was wrong... we've won as many bowl games as they've been to.
"I think our program's got a hundred-plus more wins that South Carolina."- At the time they had 533 all time wins. Clemson had 645. He was right there too.
"Coach Spurrier's been there seven years, and after five years I think he had 35 wins and a new contract and all that kind of stuff."- After 5 years, Spurrier was 35-28. After the 2009 season, Spurrier was given a contract extension through 2013.
Thanks, Dabo, for not being ignorant but for actually being intelligent.

it's safe for work, other than what's in the gif it's pretty much rated G. Most of the video she's not dressed like that... I haven't watched the video with sound, so I'm not sure how lame it is but it looks pretty lame.

I agree except for one thing...the very last remark

about USC being in California and the University of South Carolina being in Clemson or whatever it was...that part, while hilarious, he should have left out. It came off as petty and unprofessional to a lot of folks and it was definitely disrespectful towards Scar. Those kind of things should be left for the fans. Don't get me wrong, I mean I thought it was hilarious and all that but I just wish he would have held back on that one comment. The rest of the remarks were all just facts and were in no way disrespectful. They kicked our tails and thus earned the bragging rights. Hope we can take it back on the field this year
