Perhaps Clemson should change its policy of allowing anyone and everyone onto the field after the games. If waving a flag on somebody's field is a trigger for a violent reaction, it probably doesn't make sense to have thousands of extra triggerees on the field.

“Get out alive” might be a stretch, but nothing after that I disagree with.

He sure has been quite the drama queen lately. Not surprise at his exaggerations at all. I would think that wouldn't sit well with the taters but whatever.

As I said before - the planting the flag crap needs to stop. At the very least, it's unsportsmanlike.

Take all the flags you want to and go to the end of the field and celebrate WITH YOUR OWN FANS .....AFTER you have gone to midfield to shake hands.

Midfield handshakes is NOT THE TIME OR PLACE to whip your c*cks out and wave it in the face of the team you just screwed. I could have said that a little more violently, but you get the point.

Kills me to say it, but Dabo was right about all of that. One little "Yo' momma is fat" joke in there and before you know it there's a brawl and our 9-3 season goes down the drain , ala "the brawl" in the Holtz years. You have 60 minutes on the field to fight it out. Shake hands afterwards.

We're supposed to be teaching young people - not encouraging stupid. Why teach "provocation?"

I have mixed thoughts on this. Yes, winning gracefully is a skill to be taught. Losing gracefully is too. I would teach my son, my player, my team to not give in to these types of hijinks. Don't feed the trolls. Don't let the bastards get you down.

Said more correctly, de-escalation is a valuable life skill.
