Clemson University head football coach Dabo Swinney frequently trades text messages with Gov. Nikki Haley (a Tiger alum) during football season, according to The Wall Street Journal‘s Ben Cohen.
In a story last week about Clemson’s bid to “rejoin college football’s elite,” Cohen describes how Haley texts “Coach Dabo” so much during the season “he’s probably tired of hearing from me.”
“Haley typically sends (Swinney) a message on Thursday or Friday, and then again after the game,” Cohen reported. “This week she was so anxious that she contacted him Tuesday.”
Hmmmm …
While it’s unclear what Haley texted to Swinney, his response was said to have soothed her nerves.
What did he write back?
“This is our time.”
Ummm, yeah … their time to get steamrolled.

And this article also states, “It isn’t the most popular, either: 52% of South Carolinians root for the Gamecocks, compared with 25% for the Tigers, according to Public Policy Polling data from 2011.” Even though I’m a Gamecock and South Carolinian, I find that hard to believe.
I find that hard to believe.
Agreed, although a lot of Sakerlina fans have emerged from the woodwork in the last several years.
I think the numbers are skewed because a lot of the “casual” fans pull for SC — such as the non sports fans that would default to USC if someone bothered to ask them.
How? USC is almost twice as big as Clemson.
The number of people I see with Clemson paraphernalia vice Carolina seems equal if not a bit more.
I think that’s true here in the upstate, but the closer to cola you go, the redder it gets.
I agree about the upstate and midlands. But I’ve also lived in the lowcountry, and it appears to be about equal. It’s more garnet instead of “redder”.
Who knows if she does or does not text Dabbo. She lies.
She would text Adolf Hitler if there were votes in it.
Hardly. I knew her when, and she wouldn’t hurt a fly…but she would make it work for its supper.
So is she courting Dabo? The collector of semi-familiar dicks is insatiable.
This I can believe…easily.
Please, those of you who have claimed she has good legs, please look !
No shape, no calf muscle, no ankles…for goodness sakes get glasses or better taste!
And that pumpkin cellulite ass…… give me an fn break, horse teeth and those ears?
i hope her security team keeps her out of the wind…her head will spin off…..on second thought????
Complete and total make-over time.
She needs to do something with her hair, work on her posture, and appear on an episode of ‘What Not To Wear’. She has really let herself go and is starting to look matronly.
Dabo, hey Dabo, listen up
Stop the texting, your job is to coach, not have phone sex with Cockroaches
Besides, she is a little long in the tooth for you and has probably spent more time on the 50 yard line in Death Valley than you have
Nikki Haley only cares about Nikki Haley!!

Yep, looks like her mama.
