Swoffie has an obvious bias against Clemson and you
Oct 4, 2019, 1:18 PM

need to look no further than our schedule this year for definitive proof:
-Swoffie scheduled us to play GT in week 1 when he knew our coaches would have zero tape or knowledge of their new offensive and defensive schemes
-Then in week 2 he scheduled us to play an OOC game against TAMU. You'd think he would've scheduled someone easier for us to ease into the season after a brutal week 1 matchup, but nope. At least this year he scheduled us to play this game at home unlike last season.
-You would think after those first 2 games he would schedule someone easy for us to play in week 3, but you'd be wrong. He intentionally scheduled a tough game at Syracuse so we'd be forced to play in their hot humid stadium before the cooler weather sets in.
-Surely Swoffie scheduled us an easy week 4 matchup after that season opening gauntlet right? Guess again...he went out and found one of the best non-P5 teams in the southeast to try and take us down. Even Dabo said Charlotte was one of the best rushing teams he's ever seen, which includes NFL teams.
-So what's next? Well Swoffie knew we'd be worn down after that stretch so he forced us to go to UNC, his beloved tarholes. A true road game where his unranked alma mater would have a great chance to take us down. There isn't a team in the country who could open up against the schedule we had and still have the energy to win like we did. I bet ol Swoff was furious!
-This week...well Swoffie stuck it to us again. He forced us to take our bye early in the season so that we get worn down by the time he scheduled us to play at NC State, Wake and at UofSuCk. That's right, Swoffie scheduled us to be on the road in 2 out of our last 3 games because he's betting on all three of them taking us down that far removed from our bye week.
This outlandish protection of the tobacco road schools has got to stop. Swoffie needs to realize that we bring a lot of money to the conference. But until he does, you can expect more of the same when the schedule is released again over the next several years.

Clemson plays WF on 11/16 and USuC on 11/30. The 23rd is a bye week.

Pretty sure I know how to use a calendar. Our last 3 games are at NCSU, Wake and at UofSuCk.

but Swoffie schedules all of the ACC's OOC games. That's why you see dumb stuff like Wake and UNC playing an OOC game this year. He scheduled that so he could guarantee an OOC win for one of his treasured NC schools.

but I can tell you without hesitation or reservation that the ACC has absolutely no control over Clemson's OOC opponents or the dates those games are played.

Try scheduling 12 OOC games in one season...

and you’ll see just how much control the ACC doesn’t have.

I hope your just joking around. Hard to tell in typing so just got my fingers crossed. We schedule our OOC games not the ACC and we def have a bye week after the Wake forest game before we play coots. Go Tigers!!

after Swoffie puts it together. Look at UNC's schedule, you don't think the reason Swoffie scheduled UNC to play UofSuCk in week 1 is to give his tarholes the best chance at winning? Come on, he's not as stupid as people think, he knew Muschamp would have zero knowledge of Mack Brown's systems and coaching philosophies since Mack is a new coach at UNC. Also, look at our schedule, we play Wake before we play UofSuCk.

created, and then take the UNC schedule Swoffie created and put them side by side. Compare the two, including the advantages and disadvantages of each. You cannot honestly tell me those schedules were not created to hurt Clemson and benefit UNC.

As Dabo would say, step back from the cliff. The ACC is not stupid because Clemson is the golden goose with the only possible ticket to the $14-20 million Playoff.

suggest otherwise. Also, to suggest Wake has no chance of making the playoffs by running the tables is inaccurate. Swoffie has set their schedule up nicely as well.

Few people remember this b/c the ACC swept it under the rug
Oct 4, 2019, 3:03 PM
|

but John Swofford refused to hand over the 2015 ACCC trophy to Dabo after the game, which lead to this awkward photo. He's hated Clemson since the 1980's, when he tried to get the NCAA to give us the death penalty and have us voted out of the ACC. Thank goodness for WF.

protecting now by forcing us to play them after such a long stretch of games.
In regards to the photo, Dabo is always a professional. Look at him maintaining a genuine smile while trying to wrestle the football from the Swoff's hands

I remember that photo ..... Swoffie leaped up on the stage gritted his teeth and tried to take the solid platinum football away from Dabo. No such luck as Dabo felt like, in spite of our easy schedule, that we deserved the trophy.

CLEMSON can only be beaten by CLEMSON, and CLEMSON only looks at the next game/victim, so schedules do not matter. CLEMSON coaches and players beat everyone they play. Swofford is only a bump in CLEMSON's road to the Natty.

I laugh when at the ACCCGames after Clemson wins and they introduce ole Swoffie and the Boos come out loud. One of my grandsons ask why and I told him Swoffie lets N.C. teams get away with everything and He don't like Clemson.

Because Clemson fans blame Swoffie for the extra year of probation the ACC added to our NCAA probation after the 1981 Championship.

Re: CFP Payouts - College Football Playoff money is divided 6 ways. Each of the 5 Power Five conferences receives one share even if they do not have a team in the playoffs. The 6th share goes to the Group of Five conferences to be divided among their members according to their own formula. The 4 playoff teams do receive some additional money to help defray expenses.
