Cade will understand when he gets older.

I have a hard time remembering what I had for breakfast yesterday. But, I can tell you the starting line-up for the 1964 St. Louis Cardinals with no problem.

"Astounding," would have been a more applicable word.

BTW, way to go with the click bait, DavidHood®. I mean it. You got a viral subject line which will totally crush 99.9% of those who read it.
All it needed to be perfect was to add that Dabo never forgets his promises. That would have increased its value to recruits.

Why is anyone going to be crushed. Guess I'm missing something. Most have heard that interview... it's been posted a hundred times.
As for anything cade said, he's said it many times. I didn't think I was a minority that knew cade wasn't going anywhere. Probably wasn't going anywhere without nil because he openly admitted he felt he needed another year b4 nfl.

Being that Dabo is sought after and just ripped the heart out of the fans of one of the nation's most popular teams when he harvested Tom Allen I believe the article will go viral due to the both the connotation of the word 'Absurb.'
The connotation of the word brings a negative reaction because if used in a sentence it reflects negatively toward the subject. Typically the word is used to reflect the #1 definition.
"absurd /əb-sûrd′, -zûrd′/
adjective
1 Extremely unreasonable, incongruous, or inappropriate.
"an absurd request."
2 Impossible to take seriously; silly: synonym: foolish.
"a character who goes through many absurd adventures."
Similar: foolish Of, relating to, or manifesting the view that there is no order or meaning in
human life or in the universe.
There is little in the denotation to redeem the use of the word in when referring to your head coach. I suspected Cade was exaggerating to make a point. In this case, imo, he did a great job.
It draws attention in such a magnificent way to those who aren't happy with Dabo's success and crushes their hope that one of the top QBs in the nation right now has impeached his HC's integrity.

Oh, OK. Thanks for the explanation. Way too deep for my pea brain.
As a side note, I wouldn't classify psu as that popular of a team. I guess every fanbase wants to think their team is nationally relevant, but psu isn't a popular team nationally. Thanks again.

Maybe 'well respected,' might be a more applicable term for those who...

have short memories. I in honest would have wanted my children to go to CootEwe before PSU.
By well respected I mean the half a century that JoePa coached there before the Sandusky debacle. I knew PSU was on the map back in the 1960s. That was 20 years before I knew the name 'Clemson.'
I'll never have respect for the PS University after that.

Extremely rare talent. Niece's son camped there and Dabo remembers them to this day... and this was a early teens type camp and the kid couldn't even play hs ball. It really is amazing.

I was at a Fan Appreciation Day after the second Natty and was getting him to autograph a football . the people in front of me had only met him the year before and Krispy Kreme doughnuts had been mentioned then, Dabo remembered them and the exact words that had been said, And then they pulled out a box of Krispy Kremes that they had brought for him. And they were just normal fans.

Later was recruited by Clemson. 18 years later, Dabo remembers him and accepts his calls. He Even got a pair of tickets to the national title game with LSU from Dabo’s assistant, and a pair for this years UT game. Dabo is a rarity. But a great skill to have as a brand ambassador like him.

Dabo really is one of a kind. Him being able to remember people's names that he met only once is what really makes people feel like he actually cares about them, which he truly does. It is something that can't be taught nor replicated.

Can we start nit-picking his memory now?
