Here's what has the capons fuming.....


Dec 2, 2011, 8:21 AM

They had exactly 5 days to savor something they had waited to see for 40 years. And they were getting mighty miles of mental satisfaction with it.

Then, in just under 3 minutes, Dabo reached out and ripped it away.

Yes they have the win this year. Yes, they have bragging rights. Yes, classy Clemson fans stood, shook their hands and said, "Congrats."

But that's all they got....and after 5 days, it's all gone.

Because in those few minutes the insurance salesman reminded them of their place in history. They will ALWAYS be capons, second fiddle to THE University of South Carolina. No one outside of their little feathery sphere thinks of them as "Carolina" or "USC." ####, most don't think of them at all.

For a few blissful days in the land of the Cockroach, they had been able to forget all that. And in a few minutes, it was all taken away again. Back to being the dirt-peckers of academia.

The only power these clowns have over us is what we give them. I propose we give them no further, and set ourselves to claiming another prize they will NEVER see ... a BCS bowl.

And if they don't like it, perhaps the capons should rally behind a coach with class, rather than one who likes to sling one-liners, then cower behind a human shield when it comes back on him.

Tweet that! GEE-HAW'D!!

Dec 2, 2011, 8:33 AM

He seems like a pretty good guy. I think that some of his Ric Flair antics are a bit over the top, but if you guys like that, I have no issue with it. I don't think he's much of an Xs and Os guy, but he may be a coach that is a great leader who who gets Xs and Os guys under him. Morris may be an example.

But Rev, lol, I'm not at all "fuming" at Dabo Swinney this morning...I'm laughing at him. He went into a complete tirade about a quote that Spurrier didn't even make. Ellis said in the paper this morning that he added the part at the end. Dabo let a misquote rile him up, and now he has egg on his face. He looks pretty frustrated and desperate exploding 5 days after the game over that, lol.

The better response would have been "We are playing for a championship this weekend, so I don't have time for any quotes by Spurrier."

Instead Ric Flair took over.

Dec 2, 2011, 8:50 AM [ in reply to Clearly he thinks so. ]

David asks Dabo about "Spurrier's quote."

Dabo replies he doesn't know if Spurrier said that...I guess he did.

Given Spurrious's history for such, it's a reasonable assumption. Certainly no one doubted it, and Spurrious was willing to bask in it until it got thrown back at him.

Then he was all too happy, as usual, to toss someone else under the bus for it.

It's his standard M.O. and no one who doesn't have feathers for brains is buying it.

badge-donor-20yr.jpgbadge-ringofhonor-revdodd.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


That is EXACTLY correct. Spurrier was cowardly in the


Dec 2, 2011, 12:12 PM

way he handled this. Always is. A quote is out there attributed to him...he'll let it go as long as there's no heat. But the head coach of Clemson calls him on it and he backhandedly calls him stupid while saying that he didn't say it. Didn't comment on the fact that school officials are crediting him with the comment. Didn't comment on the quote's content. Just calls Dabo stupid.

I figure it went like this for Gamecocks:

1) Spurrier is quoted -- They love him. Awesome quote...way to stick it to those Tigers.
2) Dabo responds in a fashion that humiliates South Carolina.
3) Spurrier steps away from it -- Gamecocks now love the fact that he DIDN'T say it.

Ridiculous.

But at the end of the day, it's time to move on. We have work to do and they do not. They beat us for the third year in a row...all the credit in the world, but it's done and we have to move on.

Re: Clearly he thinks so.


Dec 2, 2011, 8:55 AM [ in reply to Clearly he thinks so. ]

No, what Swinney basically said was this!! He had 4 days to refute what multiple media outlets were quoting him as saying. If , anyone ever quotes me not only out of context but out of line, I would`ve spoken up the next day.
See, Spurrier knew this. It wasn`t being reported by the Florence Gazette!! It was being reported byt every major new outlet, including ESPN that he said it. What Spurrier liked was, this was a recruiting TOOL to use along with 3 wins, etc.!! But, when he was called on it, he then sheepishly says , I didn`t say it. Ellis says he said it, fine, he`s the one. BTW, sure did like Jim Phillips and Bob Fulton. Both of those men had so much class, it would`ve never came out of their mouth.
Do you also deny that Spurrier has a history of one liners just like this. It is his mantra!! He brought the attention on himself.
Lastly, Dabo didn`t say what he said for SC fans nor their coach to love. He said facts as Clemson sees them.
At the end of the day, Spurrier could`ve just denied it , IN THE MEDIA, as he should have. Secondly, Dabo should`ve called Spurrier and hashed it out and asked him to set it straight , IN THE MEDIA. Cause if he didn`t what he was doing would be saying he didn`t say it privately, but still reaping the benefits of the statement openly!! But Spurrier loved the comment and wasn`t gonna rebut nothing until he was called out!!

Who said it ultimately doesn't matter.


Dec 2, 2011, 9:07 AM [ in reply to I like Dabo. Seriously. ]

The fact is, the quote has been owned by the entirety of the USC nation. Websites official and unofficial have posted it, gloated with it, shoved it in our faces all week long. Only AFTER Dabo went off did people suddenly start making retractions. That quote has become the symbol of USC football. So it no longer matters who said it. It belongs to ALL of you.

And now that the sentiment has been turned around and used against you, you still own it. Because Dabo is right. USC is not and will never be Clemson.

And it still has Gamecock fans fuming. Obviously it offended you as well or you would not have felt the need to comment. Dabo did say "if" Spurrier said it and he did not personally insult Spurrier as Spurrier did to him. Dabo simply stated the facts.

Obviously someone from the Gamecock community said it, Spurrier did not object to he being attributed as the originator and Carolina fans seemed to find the comment to be perfectly acceptable as they quoted it with pride accross the message boards. Based on that, I believe that the ##### needed a reminder who their Daddy is! Thanks Dabo!

I have no desire to go to their message board. I am not a Gamecock and never will be. There is no reason for me to be there. Same reason I don't go to games in Columbia and wear Clemson clothes. Same reason I don't go to Clemson bowl games decked out in Gamecock junk.

I see all of this all the time and it makes no sense to me. The grass is always greener on the other side except when you are talking about being on Clemson's side. Its not greener over there. That is why their chickens come to our fields to roost. They need something to talk about and Gamecock football is NOT it.

ignore him. That's exactly what Dabo should have done. Dabo likes to spout the "we need to put this game behind us" crap, well that's what he should have done. He should have looked at the reporter and said "we play Va. Tech this weekend."

Spurrier has handed Dabo his butt on a platter the past 3 years. As much as I hate it, that has earned them the right to talk smack, whether it's their coach, their players, their goofy announcer, or their fans. That's what a rivalry is. We (fans, coaches, and players) need to suck it up and stop acting like a bunch of whining pansies.

Not really. It is not all gone. We have won 3 in a row. I am pretty sure most Gamecock fans know the history of the series and know that Clemson has dominated the series.

Clemson will have the upper hand in talking about the series record whether or not we win the game. Winning the game is still important we hold the trophy. Talking about the series record does not change that. It changes the conversation, but it does not change the current state champion.

It's logical for Clemson to want to talk about the series history and logical for USC to want to talk about the most recent games.

...and in that realm of the rivalry, there is generally bantering, not vitriol. That's the realm I personally prefer to shake hands afterward and go on with life.

But the unholy, uncivil enematic spewing that has accompanied last Saturday's outcome required someone stepping forward and placing things in their proper historic perspective.

Dabo has done that. And the dirt-peckers who came pouring from the coop now find the landscape hasn't changed ... and they cannot abide it.

They cannot abide that the Sons of Clemson still stand proud ... even if it took the bulk of us a few days to remember who we are. They cannot abide the fact that they are still what they were in the realm of college football.

They waited 30 years, built up their dreams about what it would feel like. And as the staggering realization that this is going to be as good as it gets washes over them, and that the world truly doesn't care, the words of the insurance salesman who is playing for a BCS bowl tomorrow sting all the more.

No one is disputing the fact that historically you have owned the rivalry. Facts are facts. What's hilarious though is how following the game everyone on here was ready to run the State Farm salesman out of town on a rail and now he's a cult hero. And no one on here can seem to see through that. Everyone on here thinks the State Farm salesman showed Spurrier up; all he did was make himself and his supporters look like delusional buffoons. This rivalry has changed. You used to be the physical team that punished us on the LOS and with stifling D and we were the finesse team. Now, it's the exact opposite and it's not going to change UNLESS you guys alter your approach. And all the huff and puff from the State Farm salesman isn't going to change that fact. And yet, rather than recognizing that fact, your clinging to the past like a pair of 80s parachute pants. We used to cling to "Wait 'til next year." Now, you're clinging to history.
