It is hard to believe Saturday, when top-ranked Clemson hosts No. 7 Miami, will mark five years since Dabo Swinney’s famous rant about the verb “Clemsoning.”
Swinney’s rant, which can easily be found on YouTube, came after the Tigers’ 43-24 victory over Georgia Tech on October 10, 2015. The win over the Yellow Jackets came a week after Clemson knocked off No. 6 Notre Dame, 24-22, in a torrential downpour at Death Valley.
The word “Clemsoning” was used to explain an inexplicable loss the Clemson Football Program became notorious for in the Tommy Bowden years and for the first few years of the Swinney era.
