Dabo Swinney again gets heated discussing FSU postponing game: ‘I don’t give a crap what they say’

The Clemson Tigers were in Tallahassee on Saturday morning when their game against Florida State was postponed just 3 hours before kickoff.

Now, more details have emerged about what happened. FSU medical personnel didn’t want to play the game after a Clemson player tested positive for COVID-19 after traveling with the team.

On his Monday night radio call-in show, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was still heated about the Seminoles’ decision, fiercely defending the Clemson medical staff:

Dabo says on his call-in show the game being postponed is an insult to their medical people: “I don’t give a crap what they say. I know what the facts are.”

Swinney also cited a game FSU played earlier this year after a Pitt player traveled and tested positive for the virus:

Dabo was asked about FSU on call-in show and gave a 4:30 answer. It included:
"Pitt traveled there and had a kid test positive there, and they still played the game."
"We had no positives yesterday."
"It’s an insult to the credibility of our program."https://t.co/LLARKq2Ck6

Clearly, this drama isn’t going away any time soon. The 2 schools could potentially play in December.
