ESPN Weighs in on Palmetto State Supremacy

[GamecockDad1531]

National exposure? Let's see. All the nation knows is that the HBC is a LEGEND and that Dabo is a young up and coming coach that takes shots at the HBC in the media, but has lost 5 straight to the HBC.

All they'll see is a young guy who can't beat one of the greats. He keeps losing to the HBC but keeps embarrassing himself by making these comments and his teams can't back them up.

Dear sweet, baby Jesus, please let Dabo get a big fat extension to stay at Clemson. Amen.

he can "out recruit" us all he wants cause it does no good when you cant coach em up and you end up losing 5 straight

I know we backed in a BCS bowl, but regardless you have an obligation to win it (even though we tried hard to lose it).

What difference does Lou's record make with either Dabo or Spurrier? That's simply an attempt to cover for Dabo's glaring weakness.

the bottom line is the back and forth between spurrier and dabo is good for both of us. It keeps both of our school's in the national spotlight

It's a Clemson fan, of course he goes back to the past to discuss something having to do with the current coaches.

Why would they? Lou's record has nothing to do with the topic. Dabo made the comment about being the only school in the state with a BCS bowl game win, which was obviously directed at USC, so ESPN does a comparison of how Swinney has done against USC. Swinney and Lou never coached against each other, so bringing up Lou's record against Clemson would be pointless.

But we still own them.

what i saw in that game, was the two most overrated teams in america going head to head to see which was more overrated. and both tried to give the game away several times. so eventhough clemscum won, they still looked awful doing it.

He's a tater. You have to excuse him. They are still stuck in a time when Clemson was relevant, and only so due to cheating. Anything in the present day seems to go right over their head.

Yes he did. I like the way you put that

Clemson's win over Ohio State in a BCS bowl in primetime tv is a very big deal. It does help with their recruiting and national "perception". Plus they looked pretty super for some stretches in that game. The reason we were shut out of a BCS bowl is that we are 4th in the SEC this year and they are #2 in the ACC. Doesn't matter who was better than whom.

USC needs an SEC championship to "get over the hump". Clemson's 2 BCS bowls and 1 ACC championships in the past 3 years make it seem like they are a better overall program to the outside world! We know better, but others might not.

Look at the PR angle of this; its bringing attention to both programs. The State of South Carolina does not get a lot of attention in the College FB press world. After the OB some OH ST fans were saying how impressed they were that our state has two good programs.

Whatever, dude. Thanks for speaking out on behalf of recruits nationally.

I know some on here don't like him but I enjoy it when he calls our games because he has that sixth sense of what the ball coach is thinking.

Jesse hides his bias pretty good...but he is biased towards SOS even if he doesn't show it.
In spite of people hating on the guy....he knows his stuff and is good at it.
