Always liked Dawn. I know she's been raked over the coals on this board recently for her salty language, but in the public settings in which I've seen her she has always been completely appropriate. She's a serious person, proud (as she should be) of her program and her fans, and speaks w/out braggadocio. She's practical about her team's prospects Monday and complimentary about UConn's talent. Having spoken kindly, I hope the game is a blow-out with the Huskies decimating the Gamecocks, breaking their spirit, demoralizing their fans, and making clear to the nation's best high schoolers that Storrs is the only destination for them. Otherwise, best wishes.
Demoralizing our fans, lol. We're the fans that survived a 21 game losing streak in football while remaining top 20 in attendance; I think we'll be ok.
I guess the ball is in Geno's court if the series will continue.
Exactly. Win or lose, there will still be 15,000+ fans at Thursday's game vs. Florida.. Demoralizing lost? I doubt it. As fans, we've endured worst.
For me it was vs. Furman in football my freshman year in 1982.
SC has wonderful fans and they support their team very well and should be very proud of them..Good luck!!!!
OMG - that IS imposible. Popular in Columbus does NOT equal popular in Clemson!Dawn is so popular in Columbia that I know Clemson fans that support our WBB team. If you know rivalries, that is unfathomable.
Except, of course, the Clemson women's team has been an embarrassment to basketball for a loooong time.OMG - that IS imposible. Popular in Columbus does NOT equal popular in Clemson!
It goes by fast, but Dawn said the Gampel atmosphere intimidated her players. She, in turn, is making a lot of their home court advantage. Historically home court has been a big factor in the SEC, so I understand the emphasis.
