Reaction To Dabo Swinney Column

To say our recent post on Clemson University head coach Dabo Swinney generated some interest is an understatement.  The column – in which our founding editor provided some context for Swinney’s recent trash talk about the University of South Carolina – has gotten nearly 600 comments (and counting).

Not bad for a spur of the moment Saturday morning spleen-venting …

Anyway, in addition to the barrage of published responses we’ve also received several submissions in the wake of the Swinney column.

Our favorite?  Some “constructive criticism” from an anonymous reader in which our founding editor is invited “to stop being such a whiny little bitch.”

But we also were forwarded a funny “Clemson Fan Butthurt Form” and the following illustration (via The Rubber Chicken Blog) …

Good stuff … and what a great rivalry this has become!

Uh oh, I see a mistake. That Clemson fan in the comic mentioned their last BCS appearance. That’s a big no-no considering what the score ended up being!

And Happy New Year to all the delusional Clemtards out there. The Hand has spoken, “Next Year”is here, and your cupboard is bare. Get ready for the six-finger fisting.

Sorry, yo momma beat you to it. Mmmmm, nothing like a little prostate tickle in the wee hours of the morning.

But, hey, don’t shoot the messenger. I’m not the coach laying those annual eggs at Spurrior’s feet. Heaven forbid Chad takes a look at the Louisville job, ’cause a 10 finger double fisting will be here faster than you can say “contract extension for Dabo.”

Many of the commentors on that post have me concerned that, perhaps, BigT/GrandTango’s been cloned.

Clemson and the Obama devout are both delusional
. They know inside they are deficient, but the media sides w/ them, no matter the truth, so they are not accurately defined…

So when they are called on their inferiority and/or stupidity, they go ape-$#!t…They are just not used to it…

Look at who is so F**kin’ vapid you have to use my words in your vain attempt to insult me…

You have to ignorant to be a Tater or vote Obama, and defend him after five straight years of nothing but failing the American people…and you help prove that ignorance…

You are still a mewling cabbage.

I respect your other news viewpoints, but you should stay out of the Clemson/Carolina fray, because you are obviously blinded by your fanboy obsession with yard buzzards.

Stick to talking about the sex stench of Nikki Haley.

FITS is usually pretty gung-ho (overly complimentary) regarding Clemson. But yall cannot stand for ANYTHING said about your mid-major level program….that does not fit in w/ the delusions you live under…

You are not nearly as big-time as yall think. OSU is a weak team to be in a BCS bowl…You’re lucky you got them in a bowl, or you would have gotten shellacked by a worthy BCS opponent. Just count your blessing and be quiet…

Dude – haven’t you figured out the it’s “sweeps weeks” or whatever bloggers call the period of time they use to set their ad rates. You can bet Ol’Wilbur will be throwing out all kinds of topics (some of which he actually know something about) to draw clicks?

Bigger Question: Why is FITS so timidly avoiding the announcement that players are BOLTING Clemson in droves. When USC has players declaring early…FITS, and all the local media, crap all over itself w/ predictions of doom (that never culminate)…

Last week FITS was soiling his panties w/ excitement w/ the “Bombshell” that Bruce may get drafted….

But local media is scared to death when Clemson may have enough talent to leave early…and they circle the wagons, w/ whining Dabo, begging the player, and advising him, to stay.. Always.”In the player’s best interest” of course…

Those posts to the response would almost all be from that oh so classy bunch of Clemson fans at Coots Beak on Facebook. They have so much class over there, and would never say anything disrespectful ever and untrue ever. They are the classiest bunch of people around. They wouldn’t even make up stats that have nothing to do with the outcome of a game or season and claim they are the best even though nothing about what happened this season or the last 5 show that to be true.. I promise you they are smart enough to know they are not the better team, and always comment with classy things to say the have Cla55, they have 5tyle. They really do,.I 5wear. lmao at those taters

College football is a modern-day form of slavery;whitey watching black men work. I’ve been to midweek Carolina baseball games,with less than 600 people.We haven’t evolved much since the neanderthals.Sorry,I forgot,evolution didn’t happen.We’re all products of Adam and Eve’s inbred children,and so on,and on,and on….explains everything…

Is that the most commented article in FITS’s history? Which article comes in second?
