Sorry, but I think you are a little off on that one. Dabo's comments about USC in LA was made in response to Spurrier's comments about the real Death Valley being in Baton Rouge.

Roscoe, PLEASE watch the youtube video I posted. I'll explain the timeline, yet again.
USC beats Clemson for the third year in a row in 2011. During the radio broadcast, Todd Ellis says, "As Steve Spurrier likes to say, we may not be LSU or Alabama, but we sure ain't Clemson, folks." Dabo responds, in 2011, a week later with his staged rant. In it, he says that USC is in California, Carolina is in Chapel Hill, and that the university of South Carolina is, and always will be, Clemson. Spurrier only responds with, "Smart people don't believe everything that they hear. Dabo believed it."
In 2012, Spurrier digs Dabo about LSU being the real Death Valley, in response to Dabo's bullshite rant in 2011. Dabo then AGAIN says that USC is in California, doubling-down on that bullshite from 2011. Dabo made the same jab twice.
So, NO, Spurrier's Death Valley comment didn't provoke the Dabo USC/LA comment. It was the other way around.

I watched video and, you are right. Dabo did bring up the USC/LA deal at the end. He started off his presser saying all the right things, but then he ended up acting just as childish as the comments he was responding too during the last minute.
That being said, while Spurrier may have been the innocent party here, I'm not sure why USC fans are all up in arms about it when the real instigator was USC’s official Twitter feed @GamecockFB, who posted the Ellis quote but incorrectly attributed it to Spurrier.

The way Swinney handled it. He was told that it wasn't Spurrier who said it, and he still kept on.

I'm not mad at Dabo.
My one reasonable Clemson fan friend said he was mortified when he heard Dabo running his mouth after the Orange Bowl. Said he is embarrassing and shouldn't even bring any more attention to the rivalry.

I agree with you, and that was beyond stupid. Anyone who listened to the radio broadcast of that game knew full well that Ellis was making the comment, not Spurrier. How our twitter guy screwed that up, and then the Charlotte Observer ran with it, is completely beyond me. Heads should have rolled for that. It was irresponsible, especially as a direct mouthpiece for the university.
