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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Probably not too close until we can start making PATs. :-/

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.

That affects the Dab-O-Meter how, exactly?

@23 It’s all in the plan. Dabo can’t go past Danny without at least a natty championship.

@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…

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

@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?)
