They’re our chief rivals and in-state to boot. Like it or not, what they do is relevant to us. It’s not complicated.Why do so many people on here concern themselves with what dabo does?
Mentioning what was illegal at the time, what do you think the chances are that we start seeing commercial spots for New Spring with Clemson players?f that b Dabo.
I recognize and accept how well they did recruiting the last 7-8 years. Although I'm convinced there were multiple nefarious and outright (at the time) illegal paths that were helping their recruiting.....one thing it is obvious he did was often recruit high character guys who also could play. I think they mixed in the scandalous where they could or needed to as well.
With that said.....I thought it was obvious this year that some of the stupid areas of recruiting he allowed showed it's ugly head. All the coaching sons and friends of Dabo, etc that are on the roster. I think Nolan Turner is a legitimate d1 player....but how often can one family legitimately have 2 brothers good enough to play on a top 10 program. I know there have been plenty of examples...point is it's rare and hopefully he has missed on another one (Turner's brother that is a recent signee). Yes...I know they smoked us. We were not good....and I never was delusional enough to think we could wins this year's game...even thought Clemson looked like a shell of their last 5-6 years teams the last half of the season. A couple of injuries here or there...and he's going to be relying on 22 to catch a crucial 3rd and 9 against a team with a pulse....and 22 ain't no Hunter Renfrow.
Real question is why do you often feel so compelled to defend taters or speak of them so often while on a gamecock board and assuming you act like you are here because you are a fan of our teamWhy do so many people on here concern themselves with what dabo does?
Not to mention, the post was obviously just a humorous note that Dabo’s first portal addition is a former Clemson player. I think this may be the first player in the portal to transfer back to their original program. Could be wrong on that.Real question is why do you often feel so compelled to defend taters or speak of them so often while on a gamecock board and assuming you act like you are here because you are a fan of our team
Other posters stated reason taters or Dabo were mentioned which is true with many schools bringing up their rival
Some folks missed the humor - ole Dabo is as stubborn as a mule about not using the transfer portal. So to get the orange stained folks off his back, he takes a rag armed QB that USED to drink the kool-aid. Really just giving the hillbillies who want players from the TP the middle finger and they don’t even realize it.Not to mention, the post was obviously just a humorous note that Dabo’s first portal addition is a former Clemson player.

This actually couldn’t be further from the truth. They have actively recruited several portal players but one at least stayed home instead of transferring. It’s also harder to get players to transfer there instead of here. Why you ask? Because of the current talent level. Players are transferring to play not to ride the pine IN MOST cases. Most of the transfer players would not be able to beat out the current roster. Their are a few exceptions and Clemson have chased players from the portal in those positions. They just didn’t get them.Some folks missed the humor - ole Dabo is as stubborn as a mule about not using the transfer portal.

Dabo is going to bring about the end of Dabo!
I’ll just sit back and watch.
It’s interesting that your first post above questions why people are so concerned with what Dabo does. Yet in this post you seem to have some detailed knowledge of their portal recruiting efforts.This actually couldn’t be further from the truth.

That’s becuse I follow both for a reason. Mainly because a portion of my income goes to both schools. I hold season tickets and parking places at both schools. I graduated from Clemson my wife graduated from USC and we are both avid football fans. I follow both very closely. Wife and I even have a standing wager that the winning school of the USC/Clemson game gets an additional donation. That winner also decides which one of us holds the veto of where we go on any given Saturday.It’s interesting that your first post above questions why people are so concerned with what Dabo does.

the irony in this is humorous to say the least.Why do so many people on here concern themselves with what dabo does?
No irony at all. I have a legit reason to follow both closely. I just find it funny that every time they get a recruit or something positive or negatively happens, a thread pops up here.the irony in this is humorous to say the least.

It’s actually got comical at this point. Thanks for the laughs. I will get back to work nowNo irony at all. I have a legit reason to follow both closely. I just find it funny that every time they get a recruit or something positive or negatively happens, a thread pops up here.
Same reason some people watch Hockey Games just for the fights, or Nascar just for the wrecks, MMA just for the knockouts...... you get the point, right?Why do so many people on here concern themselves with what dabo does?
so, others here can’t have a legit reason to follow them? They are our main rival. Our fan bases cover the same soil.No irony at all. I have a legit reason to follow both closely. I just find it funny that every time they get a recruit or something positive or negatively happens, a thread pops up here.
It's the same reason the USA "followed" the Soviets so closely during the cold war. That's what you do when you hate your rival.I Just find it humorous that those on here that loath Clemson follow them so closely. Also dabo is talked about more than Beamer on here. It was just an observation.
Additionally, wasn't Dabo always consistent that he didn't want anything to do with players that weren't "all in?" Whether it was a commitment who decommitted or a player who transferred out, I thought Dabo cut ties with them. Wasn't that the theory behind him not letting Kelly Bryant have a championship ring one year? Apparently, Dabo is re-examining a number of his long-held beliefs.Not to mention, the post was obviously just a humorous note that Dabo’s first portal addition is a former Clemson player.

Dabo lucked up with two generational quarterbacks and deemed himself a great coach. Then 2021 came along. A lot of daboisms will be re-examined in 2022.Additionally, wasn't Dabo always consistent that he didn't want anything to do with players that weren't "all in?"

It's not complicated but it's not something we control. Nor does it prevent us from doing our business. As you get older, I expect you will become less interested.They’re our chief rivals and in-state to boot. Like it or not, what they do is relevant to us. It’s not complicated.
Why do I have a vision of Eddie Murphy steppin’ in a hot tub?…and adds a a former Clemson player.
Every time someone here accused you of being a tater they were correct, even though you denied it.I graduated from Clemson my wife graduated from USC and we are both avid football fans. I follow both very closely. Wife and I even have a standing wager that the winning school of the USC/Clemson game gets an additional donation.
Yep, so it finally came out. Tater grad on a USC board calling out people for talking about their rival. Laughable and predictable.Every time someone here accused you of being a tater they were correct, even though you denied it.

possibly, I must have missed them. Either way, HE is on a rival board calling out others talking about their………..rival. 😂I thought he made that claim about dual citizenship often?
Yeah Dabo did KB dirty. They don't go undefeated in 2018 without him bailing TL (and Dabo) out early in the year.Additionally, wasn't Dabo always consistent that he didn't want anything to do with players that weren't "all in?"

Dabo isn't re-examining anything. To put it bluntly and accurately, he's a hypocrite.
Preparing myself for incoming fire, and will not surprise me if it's "supposed" Gamecock fans. Those are the worst kind. I can deal with tiger fans. I can't deal with tiger fans masquerading as Gamecocks.

Yes, ATM.I agree on the ring part. I think it was against ATM, right?
I will say Dabo did KB a favor by making the decision after 4 games, allowing him to transfer. It would have been worse to make him wait one more game, and lose that last year of eligibility.
So did saban do jalen hurts dirty as you call it?Yeah Dabo did KB dirty. They don't go undefeated in 2018 without him bailing TL (and Dabo) out early in the year.

Did Hurts get a ring? KB didn't. They don't win the ATM game and a NC without KB. Dabo could have chosen to give him a ring. He chose not to.So did saban do jalen hurts dirty as you call it?
Yes, ATM.
My opinion is a bit different on that. IMO, that's the story the Clemp fans want you to believe. From what I've heard, KB heard some rumblings before the season about some promises that were made to TL during recruiting and considered a transfer. Dabo was unsure about TL being able to successfully lead right out of the gate, so he made some promises to KB before the season that he ultimately went back on. KB figured out Dabo was a liar before he lost the year of eligibility.
I'll give you a simple test to determine which University you are a fan of:Here’s a better question then? What defines a fan? I would say I’m more of a gamecock fan than most. I send a significant amount of money to USC. That doesn’t make me a fan? I cheer and support them when they are playing that doesn’t make me a fan? If that doesn’t make me a fan, please define what makes someone a fan.
Clemson got away with one there.I'll give you a simple test to determine which University you are a fan of:
In 2000.....Did Rod Gardner push off on Andre Goodman or not?
Simple question. Simple answer.
