A few weeks months back, ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt had Dabo Swinney on his SportsCenter segment, “One Big Thing” after he signed his record-setting contract, which will pay him $93 million over the next 10 years.
Van Pelt, who always delivers entertaining interviews due to his cunning personality and quick wit, told the Clemson coach he can no longer use “Little ole Clemson” when describing his program because Clemson has become a juggernaut in college football. The Tigers are no longer considered an underdog by any stretch.
Van Pelt is right. Clemson has become a juggernaut. The Tigers, as we all know, have won two of the last three national championships and have played for it in three of the last four years.
