I really, really dislike Dabo Swinney


quote:

Shortly before Brian Kelly's weekly address with media Tuesday, Clemson's Dabo Swinney assessed his team's Week 1 home loss in a way only he could. Swinney harped on missed opportunities and said both teams failed to play clean, comparing the game to two squads taking a final exam on the first day of class.

"They made a 65, we made a 58," Swinney said. "Neither one of us were great."

Kelly was asked about Swinney's remarks thereafter and did not disappoint.

"We dominated them in the second half, so, he's either a really good grader giving himself a 58, or he's a really hard grader on us," Kelly said. "Or he didn't see the second half. Which that might be the case, he might not have wanted to see the second half."

I fricking love BK's dry, condescending tone when shitting on others.

Shocker. Dabo always says dumb off the cuff stuff when in front of a mic.

He’s another Hugh freeze who thinks he’s a televangeslist.

He's a dumb douchebag who hides behind Christianity to subvert criticism. His time in the spotlight is coming to an end with his refusal to adapt to today's changing environment. Next year will be an even bigger bloodbath.

Bk is talking like someone who knows what kind of team he has and he’s ready to show all of the doubters. Some TD posters included.

BK shouldn't be so salty. Dabo is goofy and math probably isn't his strong point.

Would Dumbo give the same scores had the touchdown that was scored actually counted and CBK actually kicked a FG before half?

At 27-10 would he give the same grades?

Knowing who Dumbo is, he probably would.
No respect to any opponent.

Dabo is the salty one. He opened himself up to it with his dumbass "65 to 58" comment. He should stick to his usual televangelist bullshite because he isn't any good at shite-talking.

Was it a pretty close game? Sure why not

Was it as close as the score indicated? Absofrickinglutely not

Dabo is saving face so that when they run roughshod over their shitty conference this home loss to a superior team won’t look as bad. Plain and simple.

Hopefully they win out and let the win look better and better as the national media and the committee keeps their ranking artificially high because they are Clemson. It’ll only help LSU

The refs got a 50 and missed too many calls. Oh, Swinney, there is no post game extra credit for being an arse.

And yeah, we did dominate the 2nd half. Outscored them 21-0... and yes, I said what I said.
