Look at his explanation...he claims his intent was to give
Oct 10, 2015, 9:28 PM
|
|
Dabo a platform to put the term to bed, he just sucked at wording his question and Dabo got offended. Hey, at least his intent came to fruition--I would say Dabo put the issue to bed and then some. Hopefully his rant gets picked up by the media. I really don't think Clemson fans should be giving this guy #### though. He seems sincere about not wanting to offend and we got an epic rant from Dabo out of this whole situation. Give this guy a break I say.

Oct 10, 2015, 9:48 PM

only helps him--often think a lot of these guys get a kick out of fan response.
That said--I don't think he deserves any mercy...He asked a DUMB question and got called out on it, rightly so. He shouldn't have asked the question--wrong time, wrong place. He can put it to bed w/ the rest of these hacks that pass as sports writers these days by not using the term anymore...or better yet finding a better candidate (Looking at you Georgia...or USC...or Oklahoma)...

Exactly. Clicks and readership keep these guys employed. ESPN will love Dabo's response. Our 24/7 news culture lives and dies on sensationalism and controversy. These things put food on the table and we'll watch it all week, much to the benefit of ESPN's coffers.

The worst you can say about what Hale did is that he allowed himself to buy into the nat'l media's narrative that the issue was all that pertinent. But I see no malice there. Give the guy a break.

Do you mean "give him a break" like ESPN gives to Clemson most of the time? Dabo is entirely correct when he told the ESPN guy to do your homework on Clemson and not hang onto the same old tired rhetoric of the past.

C-L-E-M-S-O-N-I-N-G=New Definition/Update ESPN/HYPD Network
Oct 10, 2015, 9:27 PM

The new, updated Urban definition of "Clemsoning" for all ESPN employees is as follows:
Meeting the Clemson Football team in a game determined on the field and they kick your ###.
Appears that those jackleg reporters (using the term "reporters" loosely) who are employed by that network based in Connecticut closely resemble the team that previously resided in our conference but decided to leave for a "football conference" (as their soon-to-be fired Head Coach pronounced) are cut from the exact same mold. They can't win up there either and the coach is being replaced. Oh, and he's previously from the State of Connecticut as well. Just Can't imagine!
Those D@mn Yankees never change! They're just like flies; all they do is eat #### and bother people!!!

Or his lame ### excuse about saying one thing and meaning another. Dabo heard what he said very well, so hale should just stop trying to explain what he meant. Loud and clear as was his intentions of not getting beat over his head with the Dabo stick. Take it like a man and move on, and on, and on, and on until Clemson don't ever have to hear your voice or read your tweets!!!

ESPN needs to go ahead and retire Lee Corso, maybe this is his last year and he can take the same path as that troll Lou Holtz. Hard to believe he sat on Gameday all by himself and picked Georgia Tech to win the game! I guess that is why his "headgear pick" was 0-4 the last few weeks. Media needs to give it a rest for sure on past history - Dabo is 100% correct!
Maybe we just need some new terms like "Chickengoology" or "Spurrierpuffery"!

Nothing buy respect for our coach for saying what he said he's absolutely right that term should be long gone for everything our boys have done to earn the respect they should be apologizing for saying were gonna be upset by Georgia tech and that we couldn't hang with Notre same to heck with ESPN and all the rest of the non believers only one opinion that matters and that the tigers they decide their outcome GO TIGERS!!!

I imagine most teams should be a tally proud of a 7-3 record against Top 10, and 33-0 against unranked. That means you win when you are supposed to. Which Means your pretty good. I will take it all day long

Someone on tigernet posted a good stat a few days ago. It was a full list of all the ranked teams that had lost to unranked teams, since we last did that in 2011. These were just the top three on the list. Again, since we last lost to an unranked team:
UCLA has lost six times to unranked teams USC west has lost five times Wisconson has lost five times.

He could have said Clemsoning to us is winning all the time and playing for the NC. Beating the teams you are suppose to beat and if and that's big IF we happen to lose the other teams knows that they played OnE heck of a game and we just ran out of time to get the win. Signed ESPN

Dabo's comments were great to gin up the fan base. A+ there. A+ also for some revisionist history in what he now claims is the definition of Clemsoning.
Dabo's definition of Clemsoning Losing to an unranked team
Actual definition of Clemsoning 1. The act of failing miserably on a grand athletic stage, or when the stakes are high. 2. Record-setting failure, usually reserved for college football. There was an epic example of Clemsoning when Clemson hosted Florida State in a highly anticipated football game on October 19, 2013. Clemson was ranked 3rd, while Florida State was ranked 5th. Florida State won the game 51 - 14. Clemson set a NCAA record for margin of defeat by a home team ranked #3 or higher. The 51 points scored by Florida State is the most points ever allowed by a Clemson opponent on Clemson's home field. Most of the home team fans could not take the clemsoning any longer and left the game mid way through the third quarter.

the definition can always be changed to met a new set of circumstances.
Dabo is correct, that was the original iteration of the word.
Once Clemson lost to WV, it morphed into what you described.
Either way, I am so proud of Dabo for responding to it the way he did. To have him stand up against the use of the term and stand up for his players the way he did was terrific.
I'll bet most of them would run thru a brick wall for the man. I know I would.

Dabo has worked hard to erase this from the talk about Clemson, and it is still brought up...even the National Champs lost last year...the team that Clemson beat in the bowl game the year before. So many times regardless...of how Clemson plays...it appears to me they question every thing that Clemson does. It seemed as if the guys announcing the games for ND and GT the only excitement in their voice was when ND and GT had a couple of good plays. I am proud of Dab and every player on Clemson's team. I can understand his emotions...Dabo has just lost his father, and I'm sure his emotions are hard right now, when he is questioned...some questions definitely should be a mute point.

Swinney You Are The Man. The Outsiders who use Clemsoning
Oct 12, 2015, 7:13 AM
|
|
are weak and they say this to try and get you to overreact, they want you to get mad but they fear you. Calmly tell the media they can call Clemson whatever they want but we just show what we do on the field. Oh and we will change clemsoning into another definition which means, when we are clemsoning we are coming to show the other team that clemsoning is winning. Clemsoning is now a definition that means when Clemson prevails in all who oppose them and doubt them. Change their definition . Clemson Nation decides what words mean, not The Outsiders
