When asked about the song "2001 A Space Odyssey" Tommy Bowden said, "I really like that song. Every time I hear it, I win."

I really like the Williams quote but this is my favorite from Dabo himself. Posted the whole story to show context of Dabo's quote. When the board of trustees invites you to their breakfast, and you're a 38-year-old with no head-coaching experience who's presented the chance to lead a major program, you go. So Swinney arrived for the 7 a.m. breakfast on Oct. 17, 2008.
He smiled as board members he didn't know pledged their support. One tried to dispel a perception that the board only valued academics and said that Clemson could also excel athletically. Then, the trustee listed several schools that seemingly had achieved that balance. Florida was one, Georgia another.
Swinney immediately began fighting with himself, whether or not to respond.
"Literally in my mind, it was like, 'Do it. Nope, don't do it. Do it,' " he said recently in his office. "It was one of those battles where I was like, 'Well, this might be a short tenure.'
"But it was what I felt."
A few moments passed. Then, the interim coach made a statement that deserves a permanent place in Clemson lore.
"You know what?" Swinney told the group. "That's not my vision for Clemson at all. My vision is for this school and this school and this school to want to be like Clemson.
"I want to become the model." AND NOW THEY DO AND WE ARE THE MODEL!!!!!!!!

What was #24 doing while his buddy #7 was getting that piggy-back ride from Williams ? He certainly wasn't tackling .

The guys who will replace Williams and others will have the talent to that too! Will they have the heart, the desire, the toughness, the spirit? Ability will not get it done..... unless they are all in!

After the championship game, didn't he say something like "we're national championship, there ain't much left to say!"? I like that one too. He seems to be a fan of brevity.
