Tennessee fan ships ultimate burger troll to Dabo Swinney, shows receipts
Tennessee fans have a long memory, and are not above a petty move like trolling an opposing coach with a shipment of burgers, for example.
That’s exactly what one Vol fan did for Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who memorably called out Tennessee for likely getting set to start “flipping burgers,” with 2 games to go.
“When you’re in Tennessee’s position, and they’re like, ‘OK, we beat South Carolina, we beat Vandy,’ and they’re in the playoffs. They’re flipping burgers at the house, having a cold drink watching the championship weekend, ‘What are we? Are we 3 or 4? Where are we going? Are we in Arizona or are we in Atlanta?’ And the next thing you know, you forget you’ve gotta go play.”
Swinney attempted to walk back those comments, and said it was a classic example of people hearing what they wanted to hear, and he tried to pay Tennessee a compliment. But that didn’t stop a Vol fan from sending Swinney 24 6-ounce burgers via FedEx from Omaha Steaks.
The Vols knocked off Clemson 31-14 last week in the Orange Bowl.

Sports betting in Tennessee officially launched on November 1, 2020, and many of the largest sportsbooks are live and operating in the volunteer state. Tennessee is only one of a handful of SEC football states with legalized sports betting.
Dabo keeps shoving his foot in his mouth and keeps getting called out for it.
Dabo is a buffoon. I would have shipped him a water slide to symbolize his program’s downward slide.
Yes, Dabo is a dork. That being said, their program is hardly in a downward slide, they haven’t won less than 10 games in a season since 2010, and did just win their conference championship.
Have you noticed who Clemson gets to compete with in conference every year? Not so scary.
Let any SEC team have their ACC schedule one year and they compete in their place in the SEC. Then we can compare apples to apples.
2 titles in CFP Era, so what break is Dabo getting from a weaker ACC? Dabo deserves the burgers for opening his mouth, but 1 of 2 active coaches with multiple titles, doubt he is sweating a bowl loss!
“Have you noticed who Clemson gets to compete with in conference every year? Not so scary.”
Dabo beat Saban twice in championship games.
” I would have shipped him a water slide to symbolize his program’s downward slide.”
How many national championships does SC have?
Ron. So sad. What you’re saying is only those with national championships are allowed to comment. I guess free speech is not welcome where you come from, ma’am.
“What you’re saying is only those with national championships are allowed to comment.”
Lady, it’s not my problem that SC is a bottom feeder football school. You’re the one railing on Dabo.
Dabo owns SC.
Swinney is 8-6 vs. South Carolina.
Swinney is 4-1 vs. Auburn.
Looks like you got things backwards. So sad, ma’am.
Shoot this is hilarious, UT fans get to laugh and Dabo gets free burgers he can grill up and enjoy. Everyone wins
The term has been long forgotten, but I shall invoke it back into the lexicon:
CLEMSONING
Love the hamburger idea. Did he include mustard? Asking for 100,000 friends.
CrankE, I didn’t read your post before sending mine. Please accept my apology for seeming to step on your toes.
I remember Jesse Palmer inventing that word for times Clemson lost a game they should have won. Clemsoning was on display in the Orange Bowl.
I’m pretty sure Jesse Palmer did not invent the word “Clemsoning”. It first originated when he was still playing for the Montreal Alouettes in 2006. He may well have popularized the term though when he began his sports broadcasting career. The Greenville Journal has a great article on the history. Search under this headline:
The End of Clemsoning: It’s time to stop using this inaccurate and asinine term
Did Jesse ever find love on The Bachelor?
Naaah, he’s Palmering
“Tennessee fans have a long memory”
Yes, Keith, Tennessee fans can remember all the way back to mid-November! It’s amazing.
And there are rumors that some Tennessee fans can even remember their last championship!
Talking to yourself again? You know you’ve gotta take your meds every morning.
Shhh.. Class of 98 is a georgia fan. His mom and dad are first cousins, and they manage the trailer park they live in.
Do they manage the trailer park or does the trailer park manage them??
1998
41 years between titles and you are bragging?
and tn went 47 yrs btwn titles from 1951 – 1998, unless of course you want to count that obscure Litkenhous awarded champ for tn in 1967, of which finished the season 9-2 with a bowl loss.
either way, you look silly
If they win Monday can I laugh?
Dawgs2021/kirkm
You drop the entire Georgia fan base into negative IQ points just by existing
Not an answer
Didn’t intend on giving an answer to an idi0tic question.
By all means though, go ahead and laugh on Monday and every other time your uncle pulls your britches down and diddles you like he’s done for decades. Whatever helps you hide the pain.
Did the shipment include a mustard bottle? I know the Vols love their condiments. (rolling eyes emoji inserted here).
The mustard bottle was air-mailed
It does include a pic of Mike Price, remember him Bama fans, LOL
Mike Price was hired to be the head coach at the University of Alabama prior to the 2003 season, but was fired before ever coaching a game for the Crimson Tide due to an off-field issue involving photos that surfaced of Price in a strip club.
Regardless of what Dabo meant, this is pretty funny.
Dabo ran-off at the mouth before a Playoff game in 2020 vs. Ohio State and the Buckeyes manhandled ’em.
He beat Saban twice…
Ron, that is impressive, but I think the point here is that Dabo should think before he comments. He does seem to stick his foot in his mouth a fair amount, though not as much as Mullen.
“He does seem to stick his foot in his mouth a fair amount, though not as much as Mullen.”
Who cares?
It seems like a lot of people commenting on here do. Personally, I don’t have a problem with him.
I loved how many clemson fans now support his “claim” that the burger comment was actually a compliment. No you got caught by Scar and now by Tenn and dont want it to hurt your holier than thou image.
Tennessee fans aren’t smart enough to realize that they trolled themselves too. They were still at home watching Championship Weekend… The only thing is, they get their burgers from McDonalds apparently…
That was an extremely weak attempt to burn TN. And you had to really reach for it. Come on now. Do better. I have to tell Dawgs2021/kirkm this all the time. If you’re not going to be smart or clever, just keep it to yourself. No sense in regurgitating the same ole lame jokes as often as you regurgitate your brothers and sisters in liquid form that your dad routinely gives to you.
See? How hard was that to be clever? Not nearly as hard as you around your sister but still. You get it.
Yeah that’s not clever. More nasty. Besides I could never burn you guys like Spencer Rattler did anyway.
Nobody cares what you gotta say here kirkm. Just cause you changed your username doesn’t mean your extreme level of idiocy magically changed as well.
OR the way Peyton Manning did the doggys for 3 years
Don’t be pushing the “Heupel Hummer” on other fans, UT fanbase will be upset.
That’s pretty funny…
if I was Dabo, I’d grill those burgers, and post a pic of me eating it. How is giving someone free food a good troll? lol GO VOLS!!
Would be a good response but requires Dabo having a sense of humor
Yawn. Tennessee…Clemson, what’s the difference? Just a bunch of orange that couldn’t beat South Carolina and missed the playoffs
corny
Again with the lameness kirkm.
Every
Single
Day
Get your act together
And yet…
1998
Good grief. This guy/gal. I feel like once TN actually manages to win a NC again, you might just go off yourself. You’re all in on just dropping 1998 and chump on every TN article that I feel like that is all your life revolves around at this point.
It’s quite sad actually. Sad enough you changed your username and thought you were being clever enough for people to not notice.
If you ever, just one time in your existence, actually posted something worthwhile, I might feel different. But you don’t. Very simple minded. No new material.
Well historically you have another 20+ years until that happens so I guess I’ll worry about it then
Fingers crossed we get there next year bud.
Save the GA fanbase some embarrassment moving forward
Dawgs2021,I guess historically speaking after yall lose monday it will be another 40years for you guys to get another shot too huh
Good stuff! Wish I had some Omaha Steak burgers…those things are gooooood.
GO COCKS!
