Interesting comment.
All true by the way. But it sounds like someone preparing for an unfavorable scoreboard Monday night.

quote:

DABO SWINNEY: Well, I mean, regardless of what happens Monday night, this has been historic. Our program and even this team is not going to be defined by a scoreboard Monday night. Yeah, we win and we've won 30 in a row, and these guys went 15-0 again back to back. But man, it's been special. We certainly believe and hope, and we're going to do everything we can to win on the scoreboard, too. We know that matters. But no matter what we're not defined by that. This has been unbelievable.

The good news is this is one of the youngest teams I've ever had. We've got 80 freshmen and sophomores out of our 120. I think we've got a chance to be a better team next year. I really do. Fifteen mid-years just got there, and we've got a lot of people back, and excited about what our future is, and this is kind of the end of a great decade, and we would certainly love to end it up as National Champs, but we're excited about the Roaring '20s, too. My grandmother told me about the Roaring '20s, so I'm getting to live them, and I can't wait. We're going to roar Monday night, both teams, because you've got Tigers bringing them in in style.

Shut up, Dabo. Tired of his psychobabble.

Translation: "We're going to lose. Keeping it close will be a moral victory."

Fits the fanbase perfectly. These past two weeks have me convinced Clemson folks are as bizarre and cultish as Aggies.

I think he’s playing mind games. Trying to lull into a false sense of security

Their Bag man must be loaded. Or dabbs just is smooth as silk at recruiting. All I know is he's gotta be using the pulpit thing to get to recruits. Nothing wrong with that if he's being real about it. If not he's a dick. But he is a whiny arse and Monday after the game his team will be defined by Dabo the whiny arse who complained about EVERYTHING

That’s loser talk. What a pussy.

I seem to remember a scoreboard on championship night defining a season and program pretty well...

Sound like Dabo is preparing his team in case they lose. "They can't f*ng stop it."

Dabo knows he’s playing a more superior, battle-tested team. That’s the reason for the strange babbling.

Coach O has said nothing. Both coaches know what’s up.

On the CFB playoff special on ESPN+ he was impersonating coach O saying go tigers then says “You can’t use that” then says “Coach O is the nicest guy, always saying go tigers. We appreciate his support”. I hope LSU blows them out.

You kind of get the feeling Dabo and the coaches looked at film of LSU and have resigned themselves to the fact that they are in for an arse whooping.
