I guess you could say Swinney sees Spurrier’s “state championship” snark and raises him one.
As snappy comebacks go, that ain’t half bad.
**********************************************************************
UPDATE: Spurrier being Spurrier.
So who gets the win here? The OBC for the tally, or Dabo for making Spurrier react in the first place?

I think the whole thing is a little myopic, but shows a little something about that state (which I spent a good deal of time living in). Can you imagine Richt trying to chide Tech after winning a bowl or (especially) trying to troll Tech after losing to them?
I’m all for a good snark, but I think if I was a Clemson fan I’d be thinking, “How ’bout you beat South Carolina, Dabo.” It would have been like Richt in 2008 after the Capital One Bowl saying, “We’re proud to be the only team in the state of Georgia to win 10 games this season.” I don’t know. All seems childish. But Spurrier’s a child and invites you into his game. Snarks are the way to get him. 8 minute manhood-stealing drives work better.

I met him once, on vacation, and spent a little time with him. That was back in the ’90’s when he was kicking our tails and everybody else in the League. I really like the guy.
But I LOVE beating him. Because he is one competitive Jose.

My thought upon hearing him say that last night was he just screamed to the world we can not beat USCe, but since we do not play in as tough of a conference we can play in a BSC game much easier.

Can’t blame Dabo for taking that shot since SOS has never missed the opportunity to dis him. Yes, it is childish of both of them. And yes, I am proud our coach doesn’t allow himself to get baited on that level. I thought Ohio would win that one but Clemson’s win pleases me for two reasons: 1) it is always good to see Corch lose….really satisfying and, 2) Clemson assured themselves of a high pre-season ranking for our opener next season which should motivate our guys.
OT–I am sure that Strong, if he goes to Texas would want his Louisville OC to go with him but if he doesn’t, Bobo would be a helluva pick. I realize it is a lateral but that is a high visibility position, broadens his background, and assures him of having top talent to work with every year. I would consider that before getting buried in a mid-major job for a few years, and they would double his salary for starters. I don’t put a high percentage chance on that happening but a Strong/Bobo team in Austin would be a lot better than anything they have seen in that conference. I expect to see a dramatic change to the Horns’ defensive intensity under Strong.

Bobo to HC Louisville is more likely than to Texas. Not that I see either happening. Strong needs to bring his own guy or keep Applewhite for recruiting continuity for a season or two.

The question to Bluto was: which coach should you pick between the two. Dabo-OBC? Bluto, based on 2013 game results seemed to pick Dabo. My point was that based on what I saw Dabo’s one victory was pale in comparison to OBC’s record. That being said. OBC is 73. At some point he will retire. I’m not nearly 73 but resent the emphasis that is placed on older coaches being “stale”. Saban, Carroll, Brown are all 62? Apparently, the tipped pass and muffed fg protection has moved Gus to young superstar coach and the new wave of coaches. Now the best coach in Alabama. CMR was into the no huddle, hurry up O before Gus was a HS coach. They just wouldn’t let him run it. Times change. I think Gus becomes the first superstar HC that costs the SEC its record of consecutive crystal balls.

It has become a daily ritual for at least one Cock fan per day (usually more) to get through on national CFB shows and ask, “hey, what about us?” They are a pathetic bunch whining and demanding respect, even though they have been unable to earn it. Invariably the host says something like “sure you guys can beat ——X——“, or “yes, you aren’t mathematically eliminated yet” and you can tell the hosts are rolling their eyes as they wait to get the conversation back to teams who have actually accomplished something.
Cock fans are a sad little group, even more delusional that the Nerds….two of “The Little Trains that couldn’t”. Has to be tough when the promo ads show your over the hill coach instead of your players. I do respect Connor Shaw though, sorry he ended up with a bunch like that.
