Dabo Swinney Gets Rattled By Comment Steve Spurrier Never Made

All, College Football Ty Duffy December 2nd. 2011, 10:30am

I planned to write how this was a masterstroke, how Spurrier goaded Dabo Swinney into making uber-defensive comments about the merits of his program, thereby confirming the present hierarchy and ensuring potential recruits read a string of articles with the phrase “following the Gamecocks’ 34-13 win over Clemson.” It wasn’t. Spurrier didn’t even make the “We ain’t LSU or Alabama, but we ain’t Clemson folks” comment. It was misattributed from a radio call. The OBC has Dabo so psyched out he’s responding to phantom Spurriers.

Here’s a transcript of Dabo’s comments.

Whenever I see the word ‘uber’, I remember that I went to school with a girl named Clare Gruber. I heard in high school that she turned into an uber-slut.

Everything about this is awesome, whether Spurrier said the comments or not. This is why rivalries are awesome. This shit matters in state because of recruiting.

That’s an unfair statement as the reporter said to Dabo, “Spurrier said…” before the quote. If I was told the same thing I would think the reporter was correct with his attribution.

Yes, and it was brilliant. I will miss him when he retires. He’s one of the few coaches that will actually speak their mind. He’s the anti-Saban. His line about last year’s bowl game was good, too.

(looks around for boss)
I had a homegrowing operation years ago. Sodium halide, tapped the water line in our basement crawl space, thing was going strong…until one day my roommate had a paranoid freakout and pulled the plants. I nearly killed him.
Except a few months later, coincidentally around the time we would have harvested, the DEA showed up at my front door. Three dudes that all looked like they played college football driving an SUV with fully tinted windows. They didn’t have a warrant, but said, and I’m paraphrasing because this was almost 20 years ago, go ahead and make us get one. You won’t like the result.
They toured the place, cheerfully informed me that they knew someone (me) had been growing, but since nothing was happening now, adios.
I had a High Times centerfold on the wall. When they left, one of the dudes pointed at it and laughed.

He’d used his real name, even though no one knew him by it, and that was the name the DEA came equipped with.
