What a tool. I`m betting people on the coast could have used some of the resources being employed in Tigertown today. But Dabo and Dan Rad have their priorities, don`t they?
Couldn't agree with you more.

Don't have an issue with Clemson playing. And I hate to upset the folks who think USC is morally superior in some way for cancelling. But nothing could be further from the truth. For obvious reasons, Columbia is always more in harms way from a hurricane situation than Clemson. And they had to make the decision to cancel a few days back when all were convinced that the storm was going to wipe out half the coasts of both states. But if the locales were reversed, USC would have played. It's big business folks. Too much money to give up if you don't have to. The decision at USC wasn't made with any empathy for what might happen at the coast. It was made with liability in mind if they did hold the game under conditions predicted when they had to make a call. Because of location Clemson could slow play it a little more. And as it turned out, it didn't rain a drop up there.
This is an outright lie. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE SCDPS SENDS TROOPERS FROM COUNTIES AS FAR AWAY AS MCCORMICK TO WORK THESE GAMES. Quit with the lies. And the rest of your paragraph is also a lie. Every first responder I know left on Wednesday or before. Resources always mobilize before the storm. My son left Wednesday.
Clemson normally has over 100 support staff from the state . It was stated on another site that 16 troopers were used. These were skeleton crew that would not have been sent to the coast. Believe what you like. It's a free world.
My wifes cousins are state troopers and its my understanding that they basically split the state and east of the midline worked the storm and west did their normal work until they were needed for the storm in their area. One of her cousins has worked both Clemson and Carolina games on his weekends off but he was in Horry County because he works a Pee Dee County. I see no issue if they used a few upper state troopers on their day off seeing as how they were not being called in for the storm anyway. As for the bold comment. This is going to be an issue moving forward no matter what. A lot of underlying factors that I wont get into but its been an issue longer that most know.
