First Impressions: Dabo Swinney stood out, even in loss to Boston College

They say first impressions are usually the right ones. My first impression of Dabo Swinney? Well, that is a story in and of itself.

If you’re a Clemson fan and your fanhood goes back longer than the current run (you know who you are), the night of November 17, 2007, is burned into your memory. The weather was perfect for college football, the crisp fall and night air providing the perfect backdrop for a sold-out and rocking Death Valley.

In town? Matt Ryan and Boston College. On the line? The ACC Atlantic Division Championship and a berth in the ACC Championship Game.
