CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Dabo Swinney still strings Christmas lights on the house and hosts a party with Santa on the roof distributing gifts to the children. It’s a tradition Swinney began in Alabama and continued in Clemson because he’s a kid at heart and, if nothing else, a creature of habit.
Other than some small adjustments in the season’s routine, Swinney stayed the course this week to prepare Clemson for today’s ACC Championship Game with North Carolina (7 p.m.) at Bank of America. It’s not about superstition. Who’s going to argue with the coach of the undefeated, No.
