This could be so that his team doesnt lose a game like that.

In fact I am so impressed with SCarolina that if it improves it can beat clemson.

SC can be an 8-9 win team...as long as their QB doesn't get hurt and Muschamp doesn't kill someone on the sideline during a game.

I think the message was more for his team rather than a knock at BAMA. He wants them to be focused. I could be wrong though.

That Citadel game had me shaking my head the first half.

Pretty sure his team will not have any issues against Charlotte this weekend. I get sending a message, but come on.

Definitely not defending Dabo, because I have not read the context of the quote, but do you all recall watching the Citadel game last year? ... tugs at collar ...

They would've beat North Carolina had they started the freshman over Bentley. They should be a pretty good team down the stretch..

I know what Dabo meant and he's right in what he meant. But the Citadel wasn't our "toughest game" because they were actually better than LSU, aTm or any other SEC team we played. It was our toughest game because though we have stud athletes up and down the roster. They are still amateurs and are kids. Their effort and focus is highly inconsistent from game to game and many times play to play. It's what makes college football better (in my opinion) than the NFL. You get a more inconsistent product where a Charlotte Southern Sisters of the Poor can waltz into Neyland Stadium and beat the Vols.

No, he's intentionally saying something that he knows is completely untrue in order to make Clempson's AAC-like schedule seem 'not so bad'. There's no rationalization for what he said and he's incorrect, and everyone in the room knows it.

Thing is - he could have just said that. He needs to keep the word "Alabama" out of his mouth. He takes every opportunity to poke the bear. I hope he gets mauled.

And to assuage the good ol' ACC for Ga. Tech's falling flat on its a--, er, its ACC face in losing to Pat Conroy Academy last Sa'ddy....

Dabo really likes those passive aggressive comments directed at Alabama . Seems he can’t keep The Crimson Tide out of his mind.

I understand what you are saying But politely disagree. Bama played Citadel before the Barn. I’m sure, there was a lot of preparation for Malzahn’s offense that week , and less on the Citadel

Waiting for an ESPN commentator to call out his B. S. or how the GOAT and Alabama are living rent free in his head. Has that happened in case I missed it?
