I've always preferred night games, but I've never bitched about noon games. If we had night games every week, it would lose its luster.
It's a shame Dabo had to waste his time discussing this issue.

for when the time comes that Dabo isn't the coach here. They will pull this out and say something like he hated us all along. Mark it down.

I would like to know what they said

I mean, I know it was about the time of the game, I just wonder if they did it in an accusing manner, like it was his fault or something. I wonder if any of the coaches ever read websites like this? I know if I was coach, I would NOT want the players to read any internet talk, I would find every way I could to ban it, have the admins put a filter on fan websites, something. But, there is one good thing....after a loss, and everyone melts down and starts blaming players by name, we know they cannot be reading it at that moment, because they are in the locker room, press conferences, etc. I do remember when I was a student, back in 2001, Nick Eason made a comment that I wish I had asked him about. The team was struggling that year, a lot of internet whining was going on, and he said, "the fans hate us." I know there were not students running around campus, cursing players for losing games, not unless they wanted a tail kicking. I have always wondered if Eason got that from the internet, newspapers, media members like Kornblut.....?

RIGHT ON! Be thankful you have Clemson to come to. We could be like Duke! Quit griping about game times. We have no control. Put your Orange on and get to the valley. You whiney little girls sound like Coot fans. I can't believe fans (?) would waste Dabo's game prep time whining about kickoff. GO TIGERS! SPOT THE BALL!

To have a coach that can get people fired up like this, especially to the extent that we saw this team on fire at AU, is priceless.

agreeance isn't a word that has been used since the 1600s? According to dictionary.com, it is considered obsolete and a bastardization of 'agreement' Sorry. I've been playing "Words with Friends" on the iTouch and now I have to look up every single word I don't recognize in case I need to use it in a future game.

I want a coach that wins. Being on fire is great and all, but we're 2-1 and haven't beaten anyone, and you're crowning the guy because he gets jacked up in a press conference. I'll take Tommy Bowden who doesn't get riled up but beats South Carolina like a drum. Everyone will change their tune immediately if things go bad at the end of November.
I hope he does well despite Terry Don Phillips, but the Dabo experiment just hasn't panned out yet. We should just be thankful that the rest of our conference is so terrible.

Sep 28, 2010, 5:58 PM
[ in reply to Re: So... is everyone in agreeance that... ] |

his teams are more physical and are buying into him. you also got to remember he had ZERO head coaching experience. yet was able to achieve what bowden couldnt (reaching championship game) in 1 season. think about it, Dabo can only get better with more experience. I think it was a good hire and am excited for the present and future with Dabo.

I tell you one thing that is back is the physical play. The toughness I saw displayed against Auburn is something I haven't seen in awhile. Now when we go into a game, any game, I feel like we will win. I haven't felt like that since the Ford era really. I think Dabo can get us back there. Maybe even the unthinkable is obtainable in the future; another national championship. Go Tigers!!! And Go Dabo and the rest of the coaching staff!! Chip

I hope Dabo does well. I like him. He might get the job done. My issue is that the Athletic Department took the cheap, easy way out. And they did that in the same year that they asked all of us to give MORE money. This all goes far beyond the Athletic Department as well. They don't give a ### about us and wins and loses aren't far ahead of us. They just want your money for nothing, and we're dumb enough to keep giving it to them.
Do you think Dabo will get the fans fired up again for UNC if we lose this weekend? That ra-ra crap will get you a long way, but not all the way.

You guys, the fans that we work over for millions of dollars every year, quit your b1tchin. We own you, and we don't give a crap what you say. When we slap you in the face, you better say thank you, or we'll just ignore you.
Whatever. As great as Dabo is when we ra-ras, this is no different from when IPTAY/the AD took more money from us for tickets then spent $800k on a football coach.
I'll be there Saturday for the players, but that Athletic Department can burn down for all I care.

Sep 28, 2010, 5:36 PM

and asked to change the gametime.
It's time to play Miami this weekend and people are complaining about all kinds dumb stuff this week.
EVERYONE THAT'S BITCHIN, WHINING OR COMPLAINING SHOULD GO GET THEIR DIAPER CHANGED.
STOP COMPLAINING! STOP BEING A LITTLE BABY! NOBODY MADE YOU DONATE ANYTHING, NOBODY MADE YOU BUY SEASON TICKETS. BUT, BECAUSE YOU DID, DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO ACT LIKE A LITTLE 5 YEAR OLD BRAT WHEN THINGS DON'T GO YOUR WAY OR YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT HEAD COACH HAS TO SAY.
Dabo's comments are spot on and anyone that doesn't like what he said can burn.
It hurts being called out doesn't it?!

He never said that. He said what is the truth. The coaches have no say in what time the games are played. They do their jobs, which is to have the team ready to play no matter what time the networks or Swoffy of TDP say the games are to be played. I don't like a noon game either, but I don't complain, because it serves no purpose. If the game time causes someone that much heartburn, they should pick another sport or support a team that doesn't get asked to be on TV. Otherwise man up and support your team. The players don't have any say so either. Their job is to bust their butts to try to win the game, no matter what time the game is played. Having been a player at Clemson, I liked the earlier games, because it freed up my time, but as a fan, I like the 3:30 games, because I have a 4 hour ride. I don't care if the Tigers play at 4AM, I'm going to be there and support them and be all in. Let's all act that way!!! The players work so hard to put a great game together. Just support them, no matter what!

Sep 28, 2010, 5:43 PM

What's wrong with noon? You can party until 2AM, get up by 10:30AM, and still make it over to the game by noon. You can get stuff done afterwards or watch football on TV or tailgate and party. You can drive long distances to and from Clemson in the daylight without having to spend money on a hotel.
If the stadium is electric then it will impress the recruits and help Clemson win Saturday and in the future, which should lead to later time slots.

If you live long distance most of your driving will be in the dark. 6 hours each way equals 3-4am leaving house.....out of the game at 4pm....sounds like mostly dark driving.....just sayin...

I'm driving 6 hours one way. I drove the same for the PC game and I was able to go to the Auburn game. I am lucky to be in Alabama during the begining of football season. I will be driving with my wife and three kids from Oklahoma for the GT game! 18 hours one way,,,,,,I just have to take advantage of the chances I get....probably going to be deployed for the '11 season.

my humble opinion is that he was part of the problem at Auburn...had he not been laughing and so slap happy before the half maybe the team would have remained serious enough to put the game away. Other that that - great speech. Go Tigers!

Actually, if we had beat Auburn, we would be on TV at 3:30
Sep 28, 2010, 9:33 PM
|
|
or later. So, from the standpoint that a loss caused us to play at Noon, the coaches and players share responsibility and could have done something about it.
Having said that, we cannot undo the Auburn game, and we are now on at 12pm, so I am in agreement with Dabo on the point that people should quit whining and just support the team.
No matter what, the valley should be rocking. Please don't come out flat like we did against UNC when we played them at Noon a few years back. That was a homecoming nightmare.

Someone please explain to me why its such a big deal about the time?? I drive 3-4 hours one way and I'll be just as loud as I would at 330p or 7p...does it have to do with TV or how our team is perceived? Or are some people just too lazy to get up for the noon game? Pardon my frankness, but I just don't get it! I'm glad that Dabo addressed it but he shouldn't have felt the need to...its crazy to think that he would have anything to do with the time. Further more, he's the head coach. Regardless if you think he should be, he is...so get behind him or stay home on Saturday with the coots.... GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!

The only thing that bothers me about the time is the way recruits will look at it. This is Clemson's biggest game at home and we get it at 12. Then you see FSU and Miami next week are primetime espn. We arent even on ESPN we are on ESPN 2. Im not whining by any means ill still be out there bright and early, just disappointed was looking forward to a night game. I guess all it means is we have to win more games and earn it, which will start on saturday. GO Tigers

Flying in from Denver with no tickets. I don't care what time it starts. If we are enthusiastic and impressive enough, the recruits will probably not care either.
