Dabo Swinney Fires Back at Spurrier’s Death Valley Jibe, Points Out Real USC is in California
Spurrier took a playful shot at Clemson, suggesting LSU was the real “Death Valley.” Swinney responded with his own, suggesting the “one real” USC was in California.
“I heard about that. It’s amazing people are interested in Clemson so much,” Swinney said. “For the record, the original Death Valley is right here (pointing behind him to the stadium). In case anybody has any doubts, its right here. That’s the original Death Valley. I am pretty sure that is accurate, but I can see where he might have a little confusion. Our guys have never been to USC. California is a long way from here. I can see where there might be a little confusion there – two Death Valleys and two USC’s, but there is only one real one. That is classic Spurrier. When he is winning, you can say anything you want. He is one of the best. He has had more lines than anyone probably will. They have a heck of a football team I will tell you that.”
Incredibly, Dabo looks like he’s updated his wardrobe, though there could be some pleated khakis hiding below the camera. Hoping the Clemson varsity jacket makes an appearance before season’s end.

Hey space nerds when does that prissy asshole climb down from the moon or whatever?

Dabo. You have no room to talk. About anything.
October 11th, 2012 at 11:48 AM
The thing is, Spurrier says something like this, smirks and then heads to the golf course while it will chap Dabo’s ass for a while…as always, the Bawcoach wins

Steve Spurrier: 25-straight years as the National Rib Poking Champion
one day, Dabo will learn that his responses only egg the Champ on further.

South Carolina became USC in 1865. (opened in 1801.)
Lane Kiffin’s vanity project became USC in 1880.
October 11th, 2012 at 11:50 AM
im not gonna lie…that was a pretty good comeback.
i would’ve gone with “i told you those lips could fly, click clack.”
October 11th, 2012 at 11:50 AM
South Carolina established in 1801. Southern California established in 1880. I guess Dabo is wrong? Fuck, I don’t know. Spurrier parties on boats with his shirt off while pounding beers, which makes him cool as shit, so Spurrier is right. Whatever.

nada is that for real? if so what’s the brewery? i just sent all the suggestions to the wife
October 11th, 2012 at 11:55 AM
Having said that…most of the nation would assume USC was referring to Southern Cal.
I’ll allow arguments for proper branding of UT. I will allow arguments from Miz/Peerless and Clown/HTown.

October 11th, 2012 at 12:02 PM
LSU Death Valley was a pun on Clemson’s.
Clemson has also been relevant literally once in their history.

This is the first time that I heartily approve your name change, Vez. Well done.

South Carolina can change that by winning a few titles and Heisman’s.

Where’s the St. Louis people? They love jorts
October 11th, 2012 at 12:20 PM
I disagree. Kind of a pussy move. Wasn’t he talking all week about how he didn’t care? Yet he does that. Kinda proves he did care. That’s some good ol’ midwestern passive aggressiveness right there.
October 11th, 2012 at 12:26 PM

I concede argument on this. It’d be really great at first, then I’d fold and collapse in the second half of said argument.
flat fronts > pleated
So much truth. Where’s Hernia to speak on the matter

gloriusmulet,
Your speech is so eloquent, you are obviously a graduate of South Carolina. Maybe if you were not drunk when writing, you could compose a thought that makes sense.
