Yes...

we could talk about trips to Oklahoma and Texas etc... Forget that Boston is actually a very nice place to visit or that we added Syracuse because of Madison Square Garden. Pretend that we are not going to be on the road to games like Iowa State and Kansas, lol. Also we can forget that Louisville was one of the best teams out their that could be had as a whole. An 11 win football team that topped it off with a win over Florida. Plyler hates Swofford and I can understand that. The Big 12 just was not the answer and while you may not like him you better have respect for Swofford. Believe it or not him and Slive are tight and no team from the ACC was ever going to the SEC period. I'm glad this is over, its old now...

I have Clemson glasses and you have Gamecock glasses. I think its more than wishfull thinking in terms of Spurrier leaving especially when it comes to Clemson. First off you don't lose a coach like Spurrier and not have a transition period. There have been a few powerhouse programs that never recovered from the loss of legendary programs and will never be the same. Wouldn't surprise me if he was around 12 years either. Spurrier is the type of coach that is mentally intimidating for a team to play for both coaches and players. One of his lesser talked about abilities is to mentally get teams number, good teams and coaches. Georgia, Tennessee, etc... All that goes away instantly when he leaves. For me I have the Danny Ford experience, not just wishfull thinking. Its fun to talk about, but I don't really care. You take the good with the bad. If Scar goes down hill, Clemson will likely start slowly down the same path back to winning 7 or 8 games per year and losing to everyone with a pulse.

Dabo? Again Clemson is not Florida, Texas or Alabama. We are never ever ever going to fire a coach that wins 10 plus games a year with a conference championship every few years for losing to a rival. If we did we would not be able to hire a quality head coach, no one would want that job. Eyebrows might get raised if it continues after Spurrier retires, but no one is going to be too judgemental until then. Dabo has set out to win the ACC and not make the rivalry a priority like in the past, people laughed and then he did. He then wanted a program that wins 10 plus game a year instead of just winning the rivalry, he has. Now he wants a team that competes for the National Championship and is still not too concerned with JUST beating Scar, funny right? Of course thats going to have to include beating Scar, I don't really laugh at him any more. I guess a better question is will people laughter turn to tears one day?
