I'll get right on that just as soon as one of your hens can show me where Dabo called the SEC inferior to the ACC in the OP, since that IS what's got you all fired up supposedly.

I'm pretty sure I've already stated, in this thread, that I interpret his statements not as 'the SEC is inferior to the ACC' but rather 'the ACC is just as good as the SEC'

big difference. i thought I made that clear already?

Your turn.

He never said that either. In fact he never even said the words "ACC."

What conference does Clemson play in?

When was the last time a team from their conference even competed for a national championship?

Again, I've already explained the line that I believe implied that he thinks the two conference are on equal footing.

Your turn, still.

this should have been a "dabo is a moron" thread.....that is something i could get into, but i just dont see where he thinks the sec is inferior in any way based off the quotes provided by the author.

You guys are being completely ridiculous. Here's a coach who said nothing more than that they believe they can win a championship at his school. He said nothing about the ACC or the SEC being inferior or even equal to the ACC. He said that it's not true that the SEC is the only place you can win a championship, and here's the thing - he's 100% CORRECT. Do you guys so collectively have your heads up the asses of the teams in this conference that actually HAVE won something that you don't even have any perspective anymore?

He didn't knock the SEC. He didn't knock South Carolina. He's saying the right things to recruit kids to CLEMSON, the school that pays him. If you're gonna take issue with that then you're panties are bunched too tight.

if he was merely stating that he believes he can win a championship at Clemson, then why did he even mention a conference that Clemson is not in?

Still waiting on you to look up what you agreed to.

Lol, I said I'd do it right after you showed me where he said the SEC was inferior to the ACC, which you haven't done. Because he didn't say it. So I won't be doing that for you.

He mentioned the SEC because he RECRUITS against the SEC. Geography not a strong point for y'all? Which schools are closest to Clemson? Hint: they aren't ACC schools. The University of Georgia and the University of South Carolina are the two closest rivals, both of which play in the SEC. Hell, in just a bit wider radius is the University of Tennessee, University of Auburn and University of Alabama. And you're daft if you think that the recruiting pitch from those schools when going up against Clemson for a recruit isn't - "hey kid, listen, you want to play in the SEC and compete for national championships, right?" The implication being that playing in the SEC gives a kid a better chance of playing for a national title (not really even true, as all the recent trophies belong to only four different schools)

That is why he said what he said and it's perfectly reasonable for him to say it. He recruits against SEC schools which pitch the conference as a reason for a kid to pick them over schools like Clemson, and he's simply saying - "Hey, you don't have to be in the SEC to win a championship." And he's right. You don't. In fact, a recruit has a better chance of playing in big games at Clemson than he does at some SEC schools.

How convenient.

The thing is- I had already, very clearly in this thread, stated that he was implying the ACC and SEC are on equal footing.

Reading is cool!

I used to like Dabo, but this guy is just a clown now....

And you were very clearly wrong in that, as well.

I'll believe that when a team from the ACC actually makes it into a national championship game.

How old were these recruits that Abo was pitching towards the last time that happened?

Probably 5-6 years old.

How old were the same recruits the last time South Carolina even won a conference title?

Well, there's your logical flaw.

Spurrier has only ever talked about doing something for the first time at SC

He's not go on rants about how its just as easy to win at SC as it is at other schools.

Try comparing apples to apples, next time.

your opinion is your opinion but I honestly don't understand why this is a perception of the man amongst some.......could you be specific on why you think so?

No, it's not a logical flaw. It's you with your head up your ass. YOU and your fellow hens are the ones bitching about this. So it's relevant to the discussion. You're taking issue with Dabo Swinney saying that the SEC isn't the only conference you can win a championship in. Why? Because that's what you all do. Bitch. Incessantly whining and ing bitching. And you wonder why you all have the reputation of having an inferiority complex...
