Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and the Tigers’ loss to South Carolina on Saturday was difficult for a few reasons.
First off, it most likely knocks Clemson out of a possible College Football Playoff spot. Second, South Carolina is one of Clemson’s biggest rivals.
Third, and perhaps most embarrassing, Swinney has now been caught flat-footed after throwing shade at Tennessee for virtually doing the same thing Clemson did on Saturday to the same team.
Swinney said Tuesday that the Vols didn’t look prepared during last Saturday’s South Carolina game and threw in a very pointed metaphor to describe their performance.
More Dabo on Tennessee: “They’re flipping burgers during the conference championship weekend, like are we going to Atlanta or Phoenix, and next thing you know you forget you gotta go play.”

Well, Tennessee fans might not have a College Football Playoff spot waiting on them, but they also don’t have short memories.
Let’s just say as Swinney ate his words with a side of dressing on Sunday, Tennessee devotees and other college football fans were ready with big platters of burgers and humble pie.
As they say, karma is a dish best served grilled (with a side of fries).
Hope Dabo Swinney enjoys flipping burgers during the College Football Playoff. Apparently he got caught looking past this opponent. @ClemsonFB @ESPNCFB @Vol_Football

They laughed when I said South Carolina should be ranked after beating Tennessee. The committee BETTER rank them after beat the fighting Dabo Swinney’s.

“They’ll be home flipping burgers, having a cold drink watching championship weekend wondering where they’ll be playing (in the CFP). And you forget you gotta go play.”

"And next thing you know, you forget you gotta go to play. But I think you just got to give all the credit to South Carolina. I think they just flat-out kicked our butt.”

Guess Dabo Swinney was too busy flipping burgers and didn’t realize he had a game this week @SwainEvent @ErikAinge3

Dabo ran his mouth this week about Tennessee “eating burgers” and forgetting you have to “show up and play the game” against South Carolina.
And promptly showed up and lost at home to South Carolina today.

Clemson took a 14-0 lead in the 1st quarter before losing 31-30 to South Carolina.
Entering the day, the Tigers were 123-2 when leading by 14+ at any point in a game under Dabo Swinney #Clemson #NCAAF pic.twitter.com/4MFbB2j6L1
