What The Hell Is Dabo Swinney Doing?

By FITSNEWS || “Happy” by Pharrell Williams is infectious.  Seriously … it’s a great song.  We’ve got it on our iPod.  But it’s also gotten to the point where we’ve heard it so many times and in so many places that … yeah.  We’re kinda over it. Seriously … kids…

By FITSNEWS || “Happy” by Pharrell Williams is infectious.  Seriously … it’s a great song.  We’ve got it on our iPod.  But it’s also gotten to the point where we’ve heard it so many times and in so many places that … yeah.  We’re kinda over it.

Seriously … kids at South Carolina government-run schools have been covering this song for months now, and at this point we shouldn’t have to remind you they’re not exactly the quickest on the uptake (albeit through no fault of their own).

Anyway … coming in well behind the government-run school system (and dipping deep into the negative “cool points” territory in the process) is Clemson University head football coach Dabo Swinney.

For reasons surpassing understanding, Swinney (above) decided lip-syncing “Happy” was a good way to encourage people to attend Clemson’s Homecoming football game against Syracuse on October 25.

Yikes … although in fairness Happy Dabo is definitely more entertaining than Grumpy Dabo.

Ordinarily at this point in our story, we would offer some snide remark about Atlantic Coast Conference football and Syracuse’s impact on Clemson’s “strength of schedule.” But seeing as our beloved University of South Carolina Gamecocks have absolutely zero room to crow at the moment, we’re going to take a rare sip of STFU.

Clap along if you feel like your coach is one big doof,

Clap along if you feel like five-in-a-row’s the truth,

Clap along if you know what Gamecocks will do to you,

Clap along if you feel like losing’s what you’re gonna do.

Suck your teeth, if you feel like blowing the 4th quarter

Suck your teeth, if you think you can beat Furman

Suck your teeth, if you’re more concerned about your tee time than Auburn

Suck your teeth, if you need to remind your assistant to ask Dabo to use lube

Where have you been, I missed you. I guess those two Clemsucking quarters by the Dirtpeckers really must have upset you.

lol. Embarrassing. My 3 year old does like this song though, so I guess it’s fitting for a clown to like it too.

Aside from being much too long, it was well done and I liked it. However, if I’m driving around five states and keep hearing it over and over and over and over again coming from cars with folks wearing ORANGE and tiger tails hanging from the trunk lids —– out comes my bazooka!

That is the tackiest room I’ve ever seen – makes Graceland look positively sheikh. I’m glad they were able to work all of those retarded special needs kids into the video – wait, what, those weren’t retarded kids…

There once was a man from Nantucket
With a schlong so long he could suck it
He said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin
If my ear was a c**t, I could f**k it!

The Colonel knows beyond any shadow of a freaking doubt he did. I interviewed a kid today with five tours, one of them was fifteen months in Iraq, that boy was a man.

So where does USCe put its BCS bowl, conference championship, national championship trophies. Isn’t that room at USCe crowded also.

Damn Colonel, and you claim to teach at USC? You crossed the line. The main one is a kid with Autism that Clemson admitted into a special program this year and it is quite a big deal to those who live in his community. Sometimes, a laugh is just not worth it.

Damn, these are painful to watch. CCU(of course) felt compelled to do the Redneck Riviera version, but at least the football coach was apparently able to duck out of it. Chics seem hotter, too:

Dabo can sing better than what’s-his-name at USC-e. Everything about Clemson is better than anything about everywhere else, quite frankly.

Those kids have had a rough go this semester. It is good to see them smiling and having a little fun. As for Dabo, not a fan here, but he’s just doing his part. My hat is off to him for that.

He was asked to do this by the Alumni Association. He’s a good guy that loves Clemson.and said yes. What’s the problem again? Oh, that’s right, your boy Sluurier doesn’t give 2 shits about USCe…y’all are just jealous.
