[@touretteguy69]

[@mikedean2529]

I'm a huge buckeye fa, and I have so much respect for Clemson. Dabo swinney is a class act!

[@mjaurikwells6371]

I've respect for your great team too

[@bioscience2694]

Props to tOSU from a Tiger. You guys will be back. Meyer is a great coach and a class act.

[@rafaelsoler6366]

Im a michigan fan really looking forward to next season, OSU has a heck of a team to develope wih all those young players I would love to see us both go undefeated and then have another classic game like this year.

[@mjaurikwells6371]

From a Clemson fan, Michigan has a lot to look forward to. They are just going to get getting better and better each year.

[@historianswag8517]

haha ok buddy. Clemson has reloaded and had a top 3 defense for the last four years. We have had 10 wins for 6 seasons in a row. We have two top 3 quarterbacks and a top 2 running back coming in. We have 3 top ten defensive prospects coming in. We have 4 top 30 receivers coming in. Dabo is building a dynasty. Go ahead and put money on it, Clemson will win the ACC and be back in the Playoff next year.

[@soothesayer06]

Congratulations to Clemson football and all of your players, staff and fans. A great game won by a great team. Good luck to ya'all in the future. ROLL TIDE #RESPECTINGTHETIGER

[@primetimefitness3623]

THAT right there is a COACH! I can only dream of one day having a coach with this level of passion, understanding and leadership at the university I support. RESPECT!

[@ADAMnotJASON]

Pure class. Much respect from a Bama fan!

[@willu842]

Lots of respect for ya'll too! Good luck next season

[@darrellwinns2391]

ADAM JASON he's loved here so much at Clemson

[@krpalos]

Class Act and Amazing Coach. - BAMA Fan

[@william8654]

God prevails!! Good over evil!God Bless Dabo...Watson seems like one of the good ones as well.

[@Alan-in-Bama]

From a life-long Bama Fan.... Congrats to Clemson. I knew this game would be close either way it ended. Because Clemson is a very good team, with a very good coach. Dabo Swinney is a class-act and my hat's off to him and the players. The Crimson Tide will be Rolling for that title again next year...the "process" continues. :)

[@darrellwinns2391]

Fortis in Arduis thanks from a Clemson fan

[@Evocati2008]

Congrats to the Tigers & Coach Swinney, awesome game & way to represent the ACC with honor & quality. from the U

[@jeffspangler8532]

Coach Swinney is such a class act. Congrats to him and all the Clemson Tigers.

[@JP1143]

Dabo is a humble guy. He did nothing but praise the Alabama team and their coach. Clemson was the better team because they won. No one can dispute that. Would be great to see the three-match plus overtime. Now that would be Awesome!! This game will go down as one of the best games since the 2005 and 2000 National Championships.

[@strangedays871]

Hunter Renfrow is the definition of clutch. The guy rarely has dropped a pass. Despite his size hope he gets a shot at the next level.

[@ArkOmen1]

Strange Days I think he will get a chance. He might have to bulk up a tad but heck look at Cole Beasley.

[@danielwhite1869]

Strange Days He will get picked up by the Patriots they love guys like him.

[@alexdwyer7677]

And he’s killing it with Oakland now! Hunter “3rd and Clutch” Renfrow

[@taurahelms3068]

I live in Washington State. I grew up in Alabama and I am a huge fan of the team. But I have to say that Clemson was impressive this year. Hey, the Tide can't win every championship. It was one of the best football games I have seen in years. Congrats Clemson.

[@lmmccray320]

I have been reading all the post about Dabo and I think that is why Clemson is where they are today because he is old school class. Bama boys are brewed big and made the tigers work hard for that win. Love the Orange and Purple!

[@mjaurikwells6371]

There's no question that we have a great team! I knew we'd make it to the playoffs again but, I didn't think we would repeat in the Championship. And this time, we won the whole thing! I love our great coach and the whole team!

[@tigermacc8850]

GO CLEMSON TIGERS!!!!

[@terrywilder9]

Class act!

[@zippey802]

Dabo you are so right the Heisman is missing a great person and a great player in Watson. Congrat's to you and the team.

[@pkgadgvlogs]

How can you not just LOVE this guy? Clemson is truly lucky to have Dabo. But they better buy Deshaun a plane.

[@BlaccOut]

35 yrs since the last championship and we scored 35 points #higher power at work.

[@TreylorTrashFishing]

Dabo. Aka the beer loving, God fearing leader for a great university and football team. Gotta love it.

[@mack1712]

TO GOD BE THE GLORY, GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE!!!!!! So proud of you Clemson.

[@gergsport]

Nice win Tigers and way to bring it home for the ACC. Enjoy this because next year will be a tough one.

[@jutley6473]

I was calling for Dabo to be fired after we lost to SCAR 5 years in a row and holy shit I was wrong. What an amazing coach, I wouldn't want anyone else leading our program!

[@conwayallday01]

I'm sure a lot of fans were but at the same time South Carolina had some really good teams. The first few years both teams werent that great but SC had some teams from 2010 and beyond. They should've been in a BCS game with the #6 ranking they had but 2 sec teams were ranked higher. I think it helped Clemson get to this point by losing those last few games against them. SC had what 4 back to back 10+ win seasons in the SEC back then? That's pretty good by any standard.

[@darrellwinns2391]

Joseph Utley I hope h retires at Clemson

[@usamf4742]

the Heisman trophy winner was great in September and October. Watson is the best player all year. He played his best at the end of the season instead of a three game losing streak against the likes of Houston and kentucky!?! Watson can read a defense and is an accurate passer. The Heisman trophy winner - he can...... run real fast and jump high, too.

[@tonymeehan7859]

FINALLY!.....FINALLY!

[@PlainCheesePizza]

Grats Tigers way to show up for the ACC!

[@USCBeastmode]

Clemson QB is sick... congratulations Clemson!

[@chuckweeks5697]

Clemson rules, love what Dabo has built up in those hills. What an amazing man.

[@juliusjohnson7876]

This is the kind of coach players should loved play for

[@MrToupsClassroom]

Alabama players next to saban looked like killers in post game conference.................these guys look like regular guys......................amazing Great Win !!!!

[@ninurtathricemajestic7179]

MrToupsClassroom Talent!

[@williambrown1564]

MrToupsClassroom is that because jonatban allen is a d tackle and howard is a 6'6 te and there darkskin

[@squirtlesquadblastoise7166]

Oh lord...... I'm emotional y'all. A bit drunk so that might have something to do with it but I'm touched. Love my team. #Allin

[@ianrowland463]

Bob The Boss Saget. bob ur always getting emotional remember when DJ wasnt home by curfew u lost ur mind and then we found out she was actually in her room the whole time

[@turkeyhunter7617]

Hope Clemson and Dabo are back on that stage soon 👍🏈

[@mikejohnson5884]

That’s all you want in a Coach - somebody who stands up for His Team and Believes in his team!

[@scarlettohara8593]

Great football testimonial, coach! Watson deserves all the Blessings that com his way. Deshaun is a classy QB!

[@chevymon1]

Pure class. The first thing he does is give praise to Alabama. It took Saban 6 minutes in his presser to give Clemson props.

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

Define class.

[@brandtvickery3574]

Justin A. hey bro....need that definition from a guy that shows u an example to explain it....good luck my friend. ...Webster no help

[@warrenhudson9990]

Great win Clemson definitely not an upset , Roll Tide !!!!

[@tigermacc8850]

I SWEAR I BROUGHT UP ROCKY 2 WHEN CLEMSON BEAT OHIO STATE.

[@cmac8382]

I love Dabo. He's Crimson at heart and soon as Saban retires we are coming after him with everything weve got to succeed Saban. And he will be the next great coach for Bama. That being said, ill be like the team and not make excuses but those pick / cut blocks were bullshit and should have been called. That and the fuckin hundred 3rd downs we didn't convert on killed us so iits on us that we were in that position in the first place. We scored too soon on the last drive, I wish somebody would have tackled Hurts on the 15-20 yrd line on that run so we could have ran a few more plays and run it in with 30 secs left in the game. Fate wouldn't have it that way

[@farmdog6237]

Auburn Tiger..WAR EAGLE! Great game Clemson! Victory well deserved! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

[@ianrowland463]

Yo the HEISMAN LOST OUT ON DESHAUN. Damn Dabo, givin me goosepimples

[@bioscience2694]

Inexcusable that Watson didn't win the Heisman. Lamar "I play the full game vs cupcakes to pad stats and lose to real teams" Jackson couldn't hold up Watson's jockstrap on a big stage vs a really good team.. Watson's stats would have blown Jackson's out of the water if he had not come out in the 3rd and 4th quarter once games had been decided.

[@ptbwf]

BioScience Louisville was yards away from beating Clemson after a 2nd quarter blowout. If Louisville had made that 1st down they would have faced Alabama in the championship. That loss killed Louisville's hype that they got after obliterating FSU(which barely lost to Clemson), and it was all downhill from there.

[@ianrowland463]

+ptbwf. Nah. Thats some poor logic. Deshaun coulda hung his head after the pitt loss. Instead he set the world on fire and carried 50 men to a championship. It seems Louisville let one game define them. I dont recall seeing Deshaun do the heisman pose against kentucky then literally fumble the game away after.

[@matthewboylez34]

ptbwf: "If Louisville had made that 1st down they would have faced Alabama in the championship." That's a stretch. I think there's a few more "ifs" you can add after that early season game. I think you're right about the "hype" though. It appears that's all it was.

[@brandtvickery3574]

Ian Rowland wisdom I agree wirh...live your life on ifs.....see what happens

[@logansimpson305]

Go Clemson Tigers

[@ianrowland463]

O SHIT DUDE HE CALLS OUT COLON COWTURD YESSSSSSSSS!!!!! "Clemson's gonna get their ears boxed by whoever they play..."

[@PernellHillMinisterP]

"If it's not mission critical, we ain't interested"

[@claygeiger6909]

People are finally seeing who we are

[@bioscience2694]

Next up at QB at Clemson = Zerrick Cooper. He's every bit as special as Watson...only bigger, faster, and stronger.

[@fortniteplayer8102]

BioScience no no no try again, another Georgia native, trevor lawrence number 1 QB in the nation

[@catchandreleasesnakecatche7781]

Guwop90s 706 Trevor Lawrence doesn't come in until 2018. Clemson is loaded with blue chippers at the QB position for the next 5 years. I've heard that Zerrick Cooper is gonna be an outstanding QB. Our Tigers are truly an elite program!!!

[@troypolamalukingtroysouthe8054]

Future Alabama coach. Like Bebe Gene Stallings

[@stephenreddish5060]

It's not an upset it's an expectation.....mic drop

[@LarsTheSailorMan]

I'd run through a wall for that man as my coach. I can only aspire to be at that level someday.

[@antionejackson4848]

Dang Dabo a prophet

[@Calico997]

if deshaun stays they will be back

[@katiesmith5702]

Deshaun teared up at 4:47.

[@casiano80]

Can we all agree god isn't a sports fan and if he is then can he stop watching sports and help all the people that really need it. Sorry dabo but reason you'll won was 99 offensive plays and having good players playing with heart.

[@urbandecay4540]

“God wanted us to win this year, but not any of the other 35 plus years”. - Dabo during postgame interviews

[@CharlesBrown-hl5si]

Two of Clemson TD should have been flagged for pick off the defensive back but hey it's all good ROLL TIDE..

[@Carfalog]

How often does a coach talk for 6:00 before any questions are asked lol

[@god1aj]

No player interviews?

[@williambrown1564]

bo scarbrough was the best player on the field

[@carolstewart6816]

The rest of this press conference?

[@bruceallensmith4491]

"who's happier you or your mom?" what kind of question is that?

[@brandtvickery3574]

Bruce Smith question entirely depends on what yo mama Looks like. don't ask dumb ass questions.

[@bruceallensmith4491]

Brandt, don't show your ignorance.

[@brandtvickery3574]

Bruce Smith you r right....I was speaking of the obvious answer to that question but did not clarify

[@willschoenenberger234]

Why don't the players get to answer questions? I mean they are the ones who played.

[@Gaderelli]

Ok we all know that if Saban retires , you are next at coaching Bama !!!

[@IbelieveinJesusAmen]

I am happy for Deshaun. Cant stand Dabo and Boulware.

[@sandersh1054]

Hey roll tide roll this is a team I fine losing to go tigers

[@kellyj3369]

Put Clemson in the SEC!

[@darrellwinns2391]

[@douglaspurcell1911]

ONE AND DONE. GUARANTEED.

[@1LaxisBeast1]

Douglas Purcell we already have two u fuck bitch

[@shawthackston9723]

Dougie sounds like one of them chicken scratchers from down state.

[@brandtvickery3574]

Douglas Purcell one and done fine with me...cause we played average and one and done and drug up bamas ass.

[@austinlewis5504]

As far as me being an Alabama fan, I will say this! I am so disgusted of how Bama played against Clemson! We probably got the worst kind of defensive players right now that I have ever heard of! They're mentality is awful! They're attitude is awfull! And believe this to all Alabama and Coach Saban haters, especially this vile and most cruel poor excuse of a person named Duke Moose! If we didn't have all these awesome recruiting players, we wouldn't have won 6 f-----g games this year! Alright! Not even 6! To split the national championship with Clemson the two years, we needed these players for Alabama! Without them, we wouldn't even have a chance to make a bowl game. I bet the Tide will finish 3-9 (0-8 SEC) next year! How about that Duke Moose?! You happy now?!?!?! In fact, I bet all the LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Michigan, and even Clemson fans would've liked it if the tornado that struck Tuscaloosa in 2011 destroyed the whole University of Alabama campus, destroyed the lovely Bryant Denny Stadium, and killed over 170 people including Coach Saban and the players! Alabama was so fortunate that did not happen! Because if it did, the football program would be ruined and Alabama football would be over and the whole campus is doomed from the day it was created! All of the haters and especially the great Duke Moose, you all are pathetic! You all are heartless! You all are cold hearted! You all are despicable! You all are cruel and an embarrassment to all the Alabama fans out there! I mean I just can't say any other vile and cruel things to say to you all "Bama haters"! Period!!! 😡💩👺👹

[@brettterrill9986]

then tigers just might win next year also

[@johnnykham3501]

Where the bandwagons at now?!!!

[@eldaman6652]

Alot of faith in something you cant see or touch. Hmmmm.......

[@Exceptional555]

Question, why is it okay for Clemson's coach to basically say that Watson didn't lose out on the Heisman Trophy, and that the Heisman Trophy lost out on him; but it's not okay or classies for Alabama to say that they didn't lose the national championship game because the refs took it was taken away from her them?. Sounds hypocritical to me

[@artsbest1]

How to pick and break the rules. That's all they did.

[@zachmorello6592]

Loser!

[@brandtvickery3574]

Louie Lamoore. to hell with the rule book...it was on yalls side....u must still be tues am bud drunk as hell....re watch the game....we gave yall 3 touchdowns on 3 plays.....we lost the turnover ratio....we lost the bad calls...we drop 3 touchdowns....we play average and drag yalls ass....and so many people don't understand why we r not scared of bama.

[@brandtvickery3574]

Want sum next jan?

[@brandtvickery3574]

we want bama we want bama we want bama.....wait that dude wearing a tiger paw???

[@thewanger]

So it literally takes an Act of God to beat Nick Saban? LOL LOL may be true.

[@Gaderelli]

Dabo, if you read the Bible.....God hates violence and competiveness !!! So dont give glory for something he cares NOTHING about !!!

[@unclelloyd]

Damn, Dabo. Butthurt much? On the biggest night of Clemson football and the biggest night of his own career, it takes him all of four minutes to start whining again about his player losing out on the Heisman. Class act? Not sure where people are getting that. This is mad disrespect to the Heisman WINNER, who won deservedly so. Note to Watson; you want a Heisman? Don't wait till the last few weeks of the season to turn it on and then cry like a baby when you come up short. I mean shit, you've been through this process twice now. You know you didn't do enough in the regular season. Strange enough to hear a player whine as much as Watson has, but just bizarre that his COACH is sitting next to the national championship trophy and STILL openly going "waah waaaaah WAAAAAAAAHH!"

[@JohnOBurke]

"To God be the glory"?! Because God cares about football? That must be in Revelations, right?

[@insightfulsage9743]

John O. Burke No, I don't think God cares about winning a football game. What Dabo means is he believes God makes him a better man and coach which in turn helped him and his team to win the National Championship. You can hate if you want but Dabo is all about love.

[@bigsky3655]

to God be the glory, thats kinda the theme of the whole Bible dude. and no God doesn't pick favorites but he is honored when people give him glory and Dabo gets this. God will continue to bless this man because he has PERSPECTIVE

[@piratesfan1995able]

Big Sky Do you realize how selfish that sounds. You have to show your love to god for him to treat you right. So people who died of cancer at a young age treated god shitty? No your life is dictated by your choices and luck.

[@bigsky3655]

+Big Sky keep in mind if you don't know God none of this really applies to you. you can do all the good things in the world but God won't bless you if he haven't come to accept Him for who He is.

[@kd2mill]

Life - ALL life - everyone's life is for the glory of God. Whether we abide by that principle is up to us.

[@IbelieveinJesusAmen]

You are a cheater coach. Pick plays.

[@brandtvickery3574]

Sir Nice pick plays?? surely u joking bro....how bout pick coaches to pick millions to play average and fuck bama up.....pick plays??? Give me something better dude.

[@katiesmith5702]
