Fantastic Idea - I love how Dabo is bringing new/fresh ideas already to change things up!!! One point of clarification - this is for the pre-game warm-up entrance, correct?? They are still going to run down the hill for the game I'm sure??

The last one to try changing that tradition was Hootie Ingram -so i hope this new coach doesnt follow in those footsteps!

You expect our boys to run down the hill at 9:45 am ... This is merely to pump up the players ... they will go through their usual on field warm ups and will be running down the hill when the time comes ...

Being a 5th year senior, I think this is a wonderful Idea. I have written numerous letters to Barker and the athletic department saying that there needs to be a better atmopshere that we seem to have forgotten about. When I came to Clemson I was excited about cheering in student section, going to fan(student) practices, pep rallies, and get the whole college football experience. Tommy may have been a nice guy, but he did not give a rat's #### about the students. He never ONCE tried to get the students fired up to encourage our team. Student moral has a good bit to with team moral. Fans forget that students are the ones who see these guys every day and go to class with them. If students are excited and show that towards our players, it sends a message. I absolutely LOVE that Swinny is trying to get fans and mainly students more involved. It brings the whole campus together and let's not forget that college is for STUDENTS. Fans that are not students still have a great/HUGE impact, but little to do with team moral and player interaction. Having been up here and lived in Clemson for 5 years now, it's been kinda sad. Clemson use to be a place full of great football atmoshpere and I have noticed that lately it has turned into a "i'll do a half a$$ cheer for one day 7 times a year atmosphere". Thats not how its supposed to be and all I have to say is THANK YOU SWINNY FOR GETTING THE FIRE BACK IN THIS SCHOOL! Over 5 years bowden never sent out an email to the student body or even tried to get us more involved. SWINNY did it in 3 DAYS! Even if we are not successful under SWINNY it will be a lot more fun!

I like that enthusiasm. Well done on use of caps only when it is necessary. Those fools who don't know how to turn off caps lock should all be shot.
yea, i said it.

The PEP Rally died betwen 1968 and 1971.

I was a Freshman in 1967-1968. I left for a three year sabbatical with the Marine Corps. When I got back to finish my degree in 1971 everything was gone: the pep rally, running down the hill and complusory ROTC.
However the increase in the female poulation was a nice offset for a returning vet.

Dabo in a Nut Shell:
Oct 16, 2008, 10:53 PM

Dabo Swinney recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We now know this beverage as Red Bull.
-If you can see Dabo, he can see you. If you can't see Dabo Swinney you may be only seconds away from death.
-If at first you don't succeed, you're not Dabo Swinney.
-Dabo Swinney's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
-Dabo Swinney does not sleep. He waits.
-When Spurrier goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Dabo Swinney.
-Dabo Swinney has to maintain a concealed weapon license in all 50 states in order to legally wear pants.
-Dabo Swinney doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
-Dabo Swinney has counted to infinity. Twice.
-Dabo Swinney once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.
-When Dabo Swinney falls in water, Dabo doesn't get wet. Water gets Dabo Swinney.
-When Dabo Swinney does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.
