Doesn't look good for Dabo and the team.

You know Bama had wrestling matches in the locker room where people routinely tried to challenge D. Tomlinson. Be careful where you cast stones.

We don't know the circumstances that precipitated this "fight" and 15 sec of video proves nothing.

nobody is casting stones at Clemson and their boxing practice. All I said that is it doesn't look good for Dabo and the team.. just like the wrestling thing didn't look good for Bama as well.

Dabo plans to address it with his team this afternoon.

I'm sure Dabo had no idea...

Dabo to team: Put the phones down and stop recording everything.

What happens in the locker room stays in the locker room. These are football players not Benedictine monks.

What happens in the locker room can sometimes spill over on the field.
Left unchecked, a locker room fight can lead to bitter feelings and worse case scenario...
Teammates choosing sides in the squabble. Easy way to lose your team.

It doesn't look like a real fight, but just a couple of players having some fun.

Not sure what all this is but I doubt Saban would stand for anything resembling this. You lost and still have all this energy? Guess you did not leave it all on the field.

Honest question - I really don't have any idea what this statement - part of the caption to the video - means:
"Clemson Football is about that life."

Anyone help me?

It basically means that to really be a part of Clemson football you have to know how to struggle and fight for success. You have to be a brawler and not be afraid to get hit. You've got to be tough. That's the gist of phrases like that.

So if a recording artist posted a picture of them writing songs on their bus at midnight between shows with the caption- "Gotta be about that grind life." The implication is that the artist is willing to work hard even when they are tired to obtain success and that they don't stop pursuing their goals.

I am a little disappointed that nobody screamed, "Mortal Kombat!!!!!!!!!!!!!"""""""

With that said, on the surface it looks like boys being boys. But as another poster said, if they had this energy to do "fight club", then where was this energy when you were losing to Syracuse?

 

[Ledsteplin]

Even if it's all in fun, someone could get hurt. Then the team would suffer as well.

As others have alluded to, the locker room fight club thing is not the issue, it's a player dumb enough to film it and post it somewhere. I imagine that person will receive more punishment from Dabo than the fighters.

Besides, this is an improvement for clemson. Locker room fight club is quite a step up from last year's butt-grab club.

That didn't look reasonable to me. When I was in high school we tested ourselves by wrestling and competing. Sometimes guys would get hurt. But there's testing yourself against your peers, and then there's trying to knock someone cold out by hitting him in the back of the head while he's ducking for cover and effectively giving up. What I see there is a numbskull who went in for the kill punch and fortunately slipped as he tried to hit his vulnerable teammate. What is it Audio likes to write... play stupid games... or something like that.

Edit: on review, he didn't slip until after he delivered a cheap shot to the side/back of his teammate's head. Plain stupid and hopefully nobody's neck or brain was injured.

This is nothing like wrestling.

That left that knocked the player to the ground didn't look like fun. Gloves in the locker room signals it may not be out of the ordinary. I just wish they were wearing head gear. Otherwise, go at it!
