Spurrier is the oldest coach in the league and is a respected coach. He should act this way, and not be so childish about his rival. Beating your rival says a lot more than little silly remarks.
These remarks only show you to be a silly old man.
What might have been cute when he was 30 is not so cute at 69. I really would not want Coach Saban to make a lot of silly little digs at Auburn, because I think it would just belittle himself. Spurrier has done more at SC than any other coach, but they still haven't won anything, so quit trying to act like you did when you were at Florida and winning national championships or when you won the Heisman.

Dabo and the tigers made their bed after Dabo's little rant. He did not just talk trash to the HBC or about our team, but he belittled our university as a whole. Not just its current members, he attacked and insulted anyone who has ever had an allegiances to SCar and took it way farther than pity jabs. He staged an interview with a planned question to "fire up" the Clemson fan base to try and get them off his back for losing again to "the coots" for the 3rd straight time. All this was in response to a quote that did not even come from the HBC, but from Todd Ellis, the radio host. Since then, HBC has put his foot on the gas and is trying to take down Dabo, he does hold a grudge, and he doesn't forget.

quote:

• "There's a lot of rivalries out there. This is more of a domination. And that's a fact. My kids' grandkids won't live long enough to ever see this really become a rivalry."


quote:

They ain't Alabama. They ain't LSU. And they're certainly not Clemson. That's why Carolina's in Chapel Hill and USC's in California and the university in this state always has been, always will be Clemson."


He went on and on. Point being, I don't want HBC talking this way about everyone, but I hope he sticks it to Dabo and the tiger fan base, who fapped for months about his rant, every chance he gets. Dabo talked the talk, lets see if he can walk the walk. I don't think he can as he now has the look of nausea on his face whenever the annual rivalry comes around. You can see it in his eyes and it translates into his players. Dabo is a joke and disrespected a legend in which he has not earned the right to do so. I hope the HBC rubs it in and lets him know it every chance he gets.

This is such an Alabama fan response.

USC had done practically nothing in its history prior to Spurrier and was a perennial doormat before Holtz got there. Clemson was the school in that state for many years, and Spurrier used his notoriety and coaching chops to pull USC up to near elite level, and they're owning Clemson in the process. Clemson owns the lifetime record against them by more than 20 games, and before Spurrier, USC hadn't beaten them in consecutive years since the Nixon administration. There's a reason he's consistently lobbing insults at Clemson and not Georgia, Florida or Vandy.

Plus, stop acting like Dabo has been a gentleman about it. He's bitten on practically all of Spurrier's barbs, which makes the USC trolling even easier.
