Said it before Fl.St. And it still is relevant before USuC

I went to school towards the end of Danny Fords reign, rightly or wrongly the press dragged us through the mud. Not that it changed my deep love of Clemson, it did tarnish and minimize our football program.
But consider the major themes that have run through College football this season and the past few years. From the drunken Slurrier to the coach clowney circus. There is a stark contrast between the way that Dabo has elevated our program, and how Spurrier has pursued winning at all cost regardless of class, honor or dignity.
It is so much harder to succeed in any venture, much less college football taking the high road. So much more energy, so much more restraint.
And to also succeed and actually win? That is truly special.
To all the Clemson Alumni, i hope you will join me in thanking Dabo Sweeney and his staff. Seeing a Purple Heart winner and distinguished Soldier score a touchdown and Have ESPN share his story makes me proud of our Football team.
Don't get me wrong, hope we destroy USuC next week.
But really, hasn't Dabo and team already won the Game.

I appreciate everything he has done, but to answer your question no he has not won the game.

Dabo has caused world peace? Ended hunger? Given under privileged people a means to make it own there own? What on Gods green earth has he accomplished to be anointed such a saint. He's had just as many players make bad decisions as some other programs. Less than others but he's got some of you fooled so badly it's actually quite pathetic.

To the high standard of our academic program.
Now shut up and use that USuC degree to drop those fries.

Your head coach was wasted on TV. Your QBs coach pissed in

street. The ole ball sack rips scholies left and right so he can have as many "ballers" as he can, regardless of previous obligations or intentions. During the UGA game two of your coaches were fighting on the sidelines.
Need I go on?

Evidently he had Les Miles and Richt fooled as well.

I'm guessing you wish Spurrier could've fooled them like Dabo huh? Oops. Be happy with the 4 in a row for another 5 days....trust me, we Clemson fans have known that happiness many times. Fear the finger.
Yea, Dabo helps people make it," OWN their OWN". He also teaches an ESL class on Tuesday's at 7.

This is a great rivalry and we should be thankful both teams have been elevated to the point they are. It certainly adds to a Thanksgiving weekend...But we need a win. Dabo and company need a win and I'm sure he knows it. No excuses.
