Swinney: 'It's all fun and games until somebody gets their eye knocked out'

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney does not think anyone should be distracted by the way a team warms up or gets itself ready to play.

Swinney reaffirmed his comments from Monday night’s call-in show that South Carolina play-by-play announcer Todd Ellis’ comments about the Tigers’ “Walk of Champions” was ridiculous.

Ellis said during last week’s Will Muschamp call-in show that Clemson’s “Walk of Champions” provokes the South Carolina student body to throw things on the field.

“The bottom line is you can yell, scream and holler, I think that is part of it. But when you start throwing things at people … it is all fun and games until somebody gets their eye knocked out,” Swinney said during his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
