Dabo Swinney on Clowney situation

Read Update »


flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Dabo's only answer should have been no answer.


Oct 8, 2013, 11:45 AM

He should have stated that questions should be about Clemson and/or BC. Period.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's what he pretty much said. Just ignored the question


Oct 8, 2013, 11:46 AM

and laughed and moved on.

You have a problem with the truth?***

The question should never have been asked...


Oct 8, 2013, 11:47 AM [ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ]

to start with. Who is asking, Ron Morris?

Oct 8, 2013, 3:24 PM [ in reply to The question should never have been asked... ]

What do you want me to say, Ron?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I thought his answer was spot on, didn't comment on clowney


Oct 8, 2013, 11:47 AM [ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ]

Turned it into a Clemson question. Not too bad in my opinion. Stupid question to begin with though, but what do you expect from the media?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree that it was a stupid question and should have


Oct 8, 2013, 4:07 PM

just ignored it and said "next question". Someone was just trying to stir the pot.

Oct 8, 2013, 11:51 AM [ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ]

And what qualifies you to make that statement or is that just your opinion.

Dabo is not going to be rude to anyone, including reporters who ask dumb questions.

He answered appropriately.

Re: Dabo's only answer should have been no answer.


Oct 8, 2013, 1:40 PM

All over it!

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah!! Instead of that 10-minute rant he went on!


Oct 8, 2013, 12:03 PM [ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ]

Come on dude, he didn't even engage the question. Non-issue. Move on.

Re: Dabo's only answer should have been no answer.


Oct 8, 2013, 12:08 PM [ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ]

He did fine and those who think it shouldnt have been asked are so spot on. It shows the weakmindedness of the media that they can generate a quality question and resort to asking "what ifs" about things at other schoools

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-74tiger.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

BS. Dabo's earned it.


Oct 8, 2013, 12:20 PM [ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ]

And Spurrier is petty enough to let it affect him.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Not a thing wrong with the way he answered the question.***


Oct 8, 2013, 12:43 PM [ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ]



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Still trying to justify being against Dabo hire?


Oct 8, 2013, 12:53 PM [ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ]

I herd Lame Kitten is out of work again.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgringofhonor-clemsontiger1988-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So it's only OK for Slurrier to be frank with the press?


Oct 8, 2013, 6:47 PM [ in reply to Dabo's only answer should have been no answer. ]

Question asked and answered with no opinion given. How can a reasonable person have a problem with that?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: So it's only OK for Slurrier to be frank with the press?


Oct 8, 2013, 7:34 PM

All over it!

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I can already here Spurrier's response this afternoon:


Oct 8, 2013, 12:07 PM

"Maybe some people in the Upstate should worry about their own players..."

*picks up mic and starts walking around*

"And what is the deal with Dabo, anyway folks? Am I right? Am I right?"

Reporter: "Coach, when you were playing UK--"

SOS: "Clemson?! I'm not obsessed with Clemson!! Why would you even bring that up?! I don't have dreams about me and Dabo walking on the beach!! Why would you say that?!"

"Coach, I was asking about Kentucky..."

Oct 8, 2013, 12:19 PM

A lot of you are getting worked up over nothing. Dabo replied just fine and no one is going to like every question news journalists ask, but so what??? Get over it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Fun, instigative question. Good not-taking-the-bait answer.***


Oct 8, 2013, 12:31 PM

Oct 8, 2013, 1:38 PM

I agree, Razz. Nothing to be gained by delving any deeper into their mess.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Dabo, as usual, responded perfectly.


Oct 8, 2013, 12:32 PM

We have a great coach who truly "gets it" regarding all facets of the program - including the media.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Re: Football Update: Dabo Swinney on Clowney situation


Oct 8, 2013, 1:00 PM

I heard from a coworker that Clowney was out for the year with a yeast infection.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He handled it well. Classy.***


Oct 8, 2013, 1:01 PM



badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Many of the same people who are fine with Dabo's comments...


Oct 8, 2013, 1:28 PM

would be freaking the flip out if Spurrier had said the exact same thing about Clemson.

I would have preferred if Dabo had said nothing after "next question," but I don't think Dabo did anything overtly wrong. That said, people in this rivalry are so blinded by hypocrisy and rage that both sides would be offended of the other and defensive of their own.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The thing is that not everything can be rehearsed, he gave


Oct 8, 2013, 8:27 PM

His honest answer while being put on the spot. The difference I between dabo and ball sac is that ball sac would have taken a long pause and thought of the biggest smart a## statement he could come up with. So in reality he would have never said the same thing. Any hypocrisy would be colored in garnet and black.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Misleading headline. He wasn't asked about Clowney.


Oct 8, 2013, 2:37 PM

And he didn't comment on the situation or Clowney, only how he handles it. He then said "next question".

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I see spurrier was sober enough to have a press conference.***

I'll even have to admit, that the press can come across as


Oct 8, 2013, 3:59 PM

some of the most bone headed people. *L* Even after watching that video, I couldn't believe that journalists continued to ask the same exact questions that were already answered.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If JD didn't practice Thurs, why surprised that he was out


Oct 8, 2013, 9:15 PM

Saturday?

Is the answer that Jadaveon practices when he wants to?
