Re: Has that pansy, has-been Michigan WR apologized yet?

He won a heisman, spent 10 years in the NFL, won a super bowl and super bowl MVP and has a well established job. "Pansy has been" is kind of a bit harsh for a statement that is kind of true to the point at which he made it. Clemson hasn't been a smash mouth team and we don't pretend to be neither, what he meant was we win with speed not power. That's why afterwards he stated finesse isn't a style of play it's a description of how we play. I think we're now leaning towards smash mouth play to help our Lawrence and showing we can easily win that way too but I'm not too hurt at what he said like some seem to be. No he didn't apologize but I also don't think we deserve an apology, he stated how he felt to that point and it's up to us to show him he's wrong just as I believe we did a great job of on Saturday.

He saw it as Desmond calling us soft.

As did I. Why, b/c that's exactly the kind of slight Desmond was making.

Dabo, the staff and players spent years changing the narrative on the national level that we are a tough & consistent team. Yet, for some reason, people want to take shots at us after 4 games b/c we're not blowing teams out each week via leaving the starters in until midway through the 4th qtr of every game. D @ m n the fact that we're staying vanilla on Offense by design, playing tons of backups as a way to prepare them for later in the season and save starters for the championship season, and we've had a tough last 2 weeks with transfer for Kelly B and the loss of a former teammate.

Jeff Scott did the right thing. By that, he chose his players, based on their effort, over a pansy and his off the mark, over the top hot take. I for one, am glad Jeff said what he did. Don't think for one second the players didn't like it either.
