DAB-O-METER UPDATE

Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 1:43 pm Posted in Dab-O-Meter 32 Comments

Dabo and the Tigers battled it out with the Seminoles, and Dabo showed signs that he’ll get Clemson to break free of the shackles of bitchassness inherent in Tommy Bowden’s Tigers. More than one local news article on the game compared Swinney, albeit tentatively, to Danny Ford. The euphoria that erupted two weeks ago with the victory in Miami moved little after the expected thrashing of Coastal Carolina, but has now reached a fever pitch with the thrashing of Florida State. Suddenly the true scale of the Dab-O-Meter is revealed, and the trip to the top is a far longer one than some might expect.
The next two weeks’ matchups will budge the Dab-O-Meter a bit, with the possibility of a huge swing with a trip ACC Championship Game.

It never gets old.
5Lawtonfunk on Nov 10, 2009 at 2:21 pm:

This makes me happy.
6AParker on Nov 10, 2009 at 2:43 pm:

Chili, wow.

I’d still like Dabo to be closer in on the Y-axis, Folksy charm is good for recruiting though, so he just needs to keep it up.
7Love Truncheon on Nov 10, 2009 at 3:07 pm:

So he’s Seraphim/just shy of Andy Griffith? Yeah, that sounds about right.

C!!!!!!

Expect some angry emails, but those poor saps just do not understand. This isn’t just a Clemson fan site anymore. This…this is ART!

Is it me or does Danny Ford’s face seem to be saying, “You think I’m not God? just wait until 2012, bitches.”

@ 8 – This is why you and I have problems. Don’t ever try to take a chant you hear at Clemson sporting events and translate it to this website. That’s what Tigernet is for. That’s the stupidest thing you could do ever. Next time keep the warm fuzziness to yourself.
12Daniel on Nov 10, 2009 at 5:33 pm:

Hahaha, i laughed out loud when I saw that. I love being able to see a visual representation of Dabo’s ascension into heaven. However, he could fall a long way in the coming weeks but this is awesome. Well done.
13Judge Jeff Davis on Nov 10, 2009 at 5:34 pm:

@8: L! for Loser putting a chant in a comment section.
14Takeezy on Nov 10, 2009 at 5:48 pm:

DAB-O-METER emergence was the coolest thing ever. I am so glad I’ve witnessed this from the start. GLOOORIOUS
15chris simp on Nov 10, 2009 at 5:59 pm:

@11 It wasn’t a chant bro, I”m not in a tribe…It was a sign of excitement and aw over the greatness that is Danny Ford. Jeez, Uptight much??
16Willy Mac on Nov 10, 2009 at 6:55 pm:

No, just not a fucking retarded mouth breathing Clemson fan who likes to try and ruin funny bits that the website he actually reads tries to do.
17Lloyd Christmas on Nov 10, 2009 at 8:10 pm:

WOW, you are like SOOOOO uptight Mr. Willy Mac…like SOOOOOO…FUCK
18Takeezy on Nov 10, 2009 at 8:24 pm:

*jumping to Zombie Nation screaming wooo hooo*
19nc clemson fan on Nov 10, 2009 at 8:50 pm:

Best ever

drinking kool-aid and wearin my Yabba-Dabo-Doo t-shirt ALL IN!!!!!! RAR
21CUin1993 on Nov 10, 2009 at 10:25 pm:

Thank you for elevating Danny to his proper position as deity.
What if Dabo wins out, wins the ACCCG and then the BCS bowl? How much closer can Dabo get to Danny without a NC, cause he’s getting damn close already.
I know you get tired of reading it but I won’t be happy until hatdog is elevated over hatfield. You owe it to hatdog.
22Braap on Nov 10, 2009 at 10:40 pm:

Probably not too close until we can start making PATs. :-/
23Mogrits on Nov 10, 2009 at 11:50 pm:

I don’t think Dabo gets above Danny for quite some time, if ever. If he did, then what’s the point of this site? Dabo and the team need to keep trying to get up that hill, and we can revel in their non-Sysyphusian exploits, but man, I just don’t see it happening.

I doubt ‘Bama fans are heralding Saban as the next Bear Bryant.
24thedabokoolaid on Nov 11, 2009 at 12:17 am:

good news everyone, espn is sayin spurrier doesn’t feel like retiring for 3-4 more years! yay! let the mediocrity and gamecock sadness continue for another decade ol’ ball coach, don’t ever leave them!
25Mogrits on Nov 11, 2009 at 12:40 am:

Hey Koolaid!?!

That affects the Dab-O-Meter how, exactly?
26Chili on Nov 11, 2009 at 1:59 am:

@23 It’s all in the plan. Dabo can’t go past Danny without at least a natty championship.
27Riggs on Nov 11, 2009 at 8:13 am:

E -
C C C COMBO BREAKER!!!!

Aw, man, I’m sorry that had to happen.
28AParker on Nov 11, 2009 at 8:45 am:

@26, I’m glad to hear that, I like Dabo, I just want us to become a good team again before we annoit Death Valley as Clemson Memorial Frank Howard Feild Dabo Swinney Stadium. Don’t want us to pull an FSU…
29Braap on Nov 11, 2009 at 9:57 am:

What? You don’t think a giant statue of Dabo would look perfect sitting right outside the IPTAY office or the West End Zone gate?

I don’t know how I’d feel about going into work everyday and walking by a giant statue of myself. I would think that I should quit being so awesome. Maybe start drinking on the job, play computer games all day, gut and clean fish at my desk… Oh, and smash up the fax machine with a baseball bat. Yeah, that’ll teach ‘em.

OK, picture those to statues as Danny and Dabo, and the river running between them as highway 76 running into clemson
31thedabokoolaid on Nov 11, 2009 at 1:26 pm:

@25 every future coaching god needs an evil,ugly arch nemesis to beat in a finale every year don’t they? spurrier is perfect for the role. dabo needs spurrier like luke needed darth vader. (yea, i made a star wars reference. wat of it?)
32mflynn00 on Nov 11, 2009 at 2:43 pm:

i am thinking that’s like 1990 danny ford with 1981 being a whole different scale
