North Carolina agrees with Dabo Swinney
The North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks to open their 2023 season in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday night. The team was pumped following a good showing from their defense in the second half.
Yesterday, they decided to troll their rivals to the south by including a clip of Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney’s famous rant about South Carolina.

Former Clemson Football player has a career day
Something I didn’t note yesterday: Wisconsin running back Chez Mellusi, who transferred from Clemson, had a career day on Saturday.

A lot of people question how quickly the Badgers would take to their new offense. It seems Mellusi at least will thrive in it.
Another note from earlier in the weekend: Clemson Football recruit TJ Moore had a great day for the Tampa Catholic Crusaders on Friday night.
