Fond memories of Swoffie
Jun 25, 2020, 2:49 PM
|
|
Here are mine:
-Extra year of probation and then lying to davidhood® about it
-Girdlegate, giving Clemson a quick punishment until tnet did its thing and captured pictures of every ACC team doing the same thing (including Swoff's beloved tarholes)
-Moving the baseball tournament out of SC because it gave Clemson a home field advantage and putting it in Durham because it was a neutral site
-Adding BC when his son worked in their AD office
-Awarding a TV contract to the company his son worked for
-Adding Syracuse who sucks at everything
-Being at least a half a decade late in launching an ACC network
-Adding Notre Dame while simultaneously not adding Notre Dame
-Moving the ACCCG out of NC due to political pressure while keeping the ACC HQ in NC
-Having a complete inability to figure out how to sell tickets for the ACCCG
What are your most fondestest memories of the Swoff?

Wonderful list. I would add Clemson towing his car at the GT football game last year. I only hope it was not by accident.

Saying we would play FSU in hoops definitely that day and then being told by Duke they wouldnt play so the tourney was cancelled. The personal hand holding of UNC during their academic fraud hearings at the NCAA.

I did not really understand much of the dislike. The ACCCG was a sore point for me....but all Clemson fans already disliked him and I did not know many of the reasons why.

All those times he’s asked about how good Clemson Football is compared to the rest of the ACC...and when his car got towed.

Swofford saved the ACC when things looked really bleak in 2011/2012 after MD bolted. FSU and Clemson were weighing options. GaTech was mentioning the BIG. The SEC and BIG approached UVA and UNC with offers to join.
Adding Louisville and Cuse + ND kept the League from imploding. This resulted in all teams signing the 20 yr Grant of Rights, making the ACC a stable P5 program.

the extra year myth
Jun 26, 2020, 9:18 AM

https://www.tigernet.com/view/story.do?id=10615
so did Tim Bourret and #### Dull (Maryland AD) also lie about it?
Danny Ford called Swofford being to blame for the extra year an 'urban legend'
so what do you know that they don't?
it is a fascinating legend.. just refuses to die

Friend of mine played against him in 1970. He was a safety AT Clemson. I have always given him hell because he legally could have hit Swofford that day. He told me he never got near him that all Swofford had to do was hand off to Don McCauley. 7-42 UNC
