Clemson Tigers coach Dabo Swinney is known for being folksy and down to earth, occasionally telling a humorous story or tossing in a funny anecdote that people catch on to for a soundbite.

If there’s such a thing as a “Dabo’s Greatest Hits” compilation, his story of how he spent last Saturday might make the list.

Just enjoyed it.”
