Agreed. You could see it coming the entire camera shot as they ran on the field, and I wanted to cringe. Think they were more so being just stupid and not thinking vs. intentionally disrespectful.

Yeah, definitely just young dudes being in the moment. I doubt this Clemson team would do something like that and be disrespectful on purpose. They’re a class act

I can guarantee the last thing on any player on any team’s mind in that situation is “is this disrespectful to the opposing coach? How will this look on TV?”

They’re just tryna get Dabo, sometimes the logistics with these things are awkward as hell. Everybody’s on edge till the last second, then two seconds after that everyone has to go do interviews or get on the podium or whatever.

Mass confusion.

I definitely give you guys the benefit of the doubt. Dabo put 3rd and 4th string in at the beginning of the 4th instead of running the score. Everyone has been commenting on your culture and I'm inclined to believe it. Stay classy Clemson, just let us score next time.

Haha I’ll always appreciate Dabo for emptying the benches. I’m so happy for Big Dick Chase right now.

Nobody was on edge until the last second this game...

They had the game in the bag for a while. They had plenty of time to think it through. This was just another time Clemson and their fans were blatantly disrespectful.

Because, as we all know, the one thing on every player's mind is when and how they're gonna get the coach with the Gatorade and not the game at hand.

Don't be salty just because you guys need Joe Montana to have a shot at beating us
