I’m losing tons of respect for Dabo.


Dec 4, 2022, 12:08 AM

We absolutely do win the Atlantic without DJ. This whole situation has tarnished his reputation in my opinion. Flame away but most of the country and a TON of Clemson fans feel the same way.

Yeah, it seems like he totally erase the memory of Cade winning the Cuse game

Screw Calford.


Re: I’m losing tons of respect for Dabo.


Dec 4, 2022, 12:10 AM

No, he's not playing the counterfactual of 'If we play Cade then...' he's just saying 'without DJ's play we wouldn't have won the Atlantic'.
It's a way of softening the blow of losing the job.
Nothing more.

I counter with…without DJ, we have Cade. So the statement alone would indicate we wouldn’t have won the division with Cade. At best it’s a poorly arguable statement, if not flat out wrong.

Re: I’m losing tons of respect for Dabo.


Dec 4, 2022, 12:14 AM

Yeah, I'm not so much arguing the counterfactual (I think if we start Cade after Syracuse we're in the playoff) as saying what I think Dabo is doing.

He will not shut up about DJ

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

the reporters wont stop asking him about dj...so how


Dec 4, 2022, 12:24 AM

is he supposed to stop talking about him?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

But what he stated IS a counterfactual . . .


Dec 4, 2022, 12:25 AM [ in reply to Re: I’m losing tons of respect for Dabo. ]

According to his statement, w/o DJ, Clemson doesn't win the division. This means, of logical necessity, that if anyone other than DJ is the starting QB (not limited to, but including Cade) then Clemson doesn't win it. So yeah, he **did** "say" that.

That said, I think it's probably the case of Dabo just speaking imprecisely. I **think,** what he was trying to say was that DJ, despite losing the starting job, still contributed to the championship season and deserves credit for that contribution. And of course- that is true.

I think he's over-eager to harmonize the un-harmonizeable. But it could be that he just meant that DJ played a part, too. I've been really critical of Dabo on this issue, and I still am, but I don't want to be dishonest or pedantic when he probably didn't mean to say that we couldn't have won it with Cade.

What about at Wake?***

Oh I don’t know, the ACCCG QB could’ve probably gotten it

Re: 430 yards and 5 TD's***


Dec 4, 2022, 12:54 AM

Are you saying the guy who just went 20/24 (including two drops since we like to point those out) for 280 yards, and 2TDs in less than 3 quarters couldn’t have pulled that off?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Look, I’ve been hard on Dabo but that’s coach speak to


Dec 4, 2022, 12:13 AM

Try to keep DJ up.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No reason anymore. He’s done at Clemson.


Dec 4, 2022, 12:14 AM

You don’t have to bad mouth him, but you don’t have to blow smoke up everyones ### either.

So just chew him up and spit him out

you're all class

Re: So just chew him up and spit him out


Dec 4, 2022, 12:20 AM

YOur boy DJ kept a lot of other players off the field this year. We saw the bench cleared in this game because of Cade. Sleep on that tonight.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I said he played awful last week


Dec 4, 2022, 12:26 AM

If I were Dabo I would have pulled him. But I'm not going to denigrate Dabo for sticking up for a player who has taken more crap with absolute class than ant player in my 50+ years around Clemson football

The Ford twins at CB took much more in the mid-90s

No, but maybe give the kid that just win the game some

Credit without bringing up DJ or ND every single time you get asked about him.

Nope just being honest and truthful…..something our coaching staff appears to have a hard time doing this year!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

DJ played well at Wake, there’s no guarantee that


Dec 4, 2022, 12:21 AM [ in reply to No reason anymore. He’s done at Clemson. ]

Cade leads is to a win. Likely but no guarantee

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Be happy


Dec 4, 2022, 12:17 AM

Cade’s our starter.

I’d go to war with Dabo any day. he isn’t going to throw DJ under the bus, nor should he.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Going to war with Dabo would be good


Dec 4, 2022, 12:25 AM

As long as he didn’t name DJ your commanding officer because he gave you the best chance to win.

Dog gone so many looking in the rear view mirror. We have a future! I hate USC, but maybe that game was a wake-up call. We have their number going forward, just have faith!

We have a lot to look forward to.

Cade, Vizzina and company for the future!

Bring it on!

No Sleep for Dabo Tonight


Dec 4, 2022, 12:25 AM

I mean, if YOU lost respect for him, he surely is in tears! Look thru the alcohol induced fog - we won!
Dabo is taking care of his players with class and dignity, as he promises every recruit’s parents. He was building up DJ, not answering to the dim bulbs like you.
Go Tigers, go to bed whiners, and stop drinking so much as to think you are on Dabo’s list of concerns. I am sure he does not care what you think - at all.

He will probably suffer erectile disfunction knowing that...

you're losing confidence in him. I know mine would flop if you gave up on me.

No, they don’t. Cheap seats with made up opinions are easy to type.

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You are right, he is sacrificing his integrity


Dec 4, 2022, 1:09 AM

There is no way that he honestly believes that. I always held Dabo as a person that told the truth, but he really is just a sales guy at the end of the day. He has done a lot of good at Clemson, but I cannot believe much of what he says anymore.
