Remember we all used to laugh at Dabo for not using the portal?

Well who's laughing now? They have an actual football program and we have a dumpster fire. I think Dabo is a great coach and is ahead of the curve. He realized that building through the portal is not how you build a proper football program that sustains success. They have roster full of guys who are committed to the program. We have a roster full of guys who are paid mercenaries and couldn't give less of a shit about our program. Mike needs to learn a thing or two from Dabo about how you build a program. As of now I think Dabo is a far better coach than Mike. Our win last year was very lucky. We still don't have a formula for success in this rivalry. Clemson's approach to NIL is far superior to ours. They've built up the trenches while we blow all our money on receivers and DBs. It's no wonder they kick our o-lines ass. They spent loads of money on their d-line. Full of 4 and 5 stars. Another very smart thing they are doing is that they force kids to shut down their recruitment when they commit. Notice how Clemson never has any big decommitments? They're not looking to pinch every penny and find the cheapest paid mercenary, they're looking for guys who actually love their program, whether that's a 5 star or a 3 star that nobody else recruits. It's no wonder that they own this rivalry and will continue to do so until massive changes our made to our entire philosophy. Mike better be taking notes.
