Let's make sure that it doesn't change to "Tech-ing" first.
Otherwise, abso-friggin-lutely. I'm not ashamed to admit that I hope that Clemson Clemsons every single week.

I used to work with a Clemson alum who would gloat about their two wins over us a few years ago. All I could come back with was "At least our school name isn't a synonym for choking."

Man, I like the fire that Dabo brings. Back in 2011 I had a great disdain for them (Clemson), but over the past 4 years I've really grown to appreciate Dabo. His passion, his transparency, his competitiveness...it all resonates with me. I applaud the guy for what he's done, and his candid-but direct answer here. Kudos Dabo.

Yeah, those used car salesmen will get after ya'~ Dabo is just cut from that mold. Just a regular old tire kicker that acts like a scalded dog taking a bath in turpentine.

Sad is the day when I feel Beamer should be more like Dabo, but this is how Beamer needs to talk about his team. With passion. Hope he's learned from his missteps earlier this season and continues to be punchy and not a punching bag.

And while I enjoy a good "dadgum" as much as the next guy, just say the word you really want to say. As annoying as Bo Pelini can be, at least he ain't scurred to drop a good F bomb or two (dozen).

Honestly though, I used to love the term Clemson'ing... But when's the last time that it was used appropriately. Clemson has been taking care of business for the past few years.

Funny thing is that Dabo believes "Clemsoning" is losing to an unranked team and uses that to back up his claim. No, Clemsoning is capturing a loss from the grips of victory. It's losing when you're supposed to win. When you have everything going your way and collapse. You have a chance to win the game against #1 FSU in 2014 and fumble with a minute and a half to go and lose in OT. You throw two pick-6's against unranked GT and lose when you're ranked number 6 by 22 points. You enter halftime tied with GA to start your season and get shut out as they score 24 unanswered points in the second half. You do this:

Best Dabo rant yet.

VT has a history very similar to Clemson and a notorious nickname synonymous with choking.
I didn't say it was a good comeback.
The only problem is by the time we play Clemson again, the internet might not exist...
Can't wait until future VT coach Tom Herman does the exact same thing a few years when a reporter brings up "Chokies."
