I hope Scott enjoyed his while he could.

Enjoy MTSU, clown.

I love that you've got Seniors, Juniors, Freshmen, a walk-on, Shafer & Dino recruits all together. This team seems very close on & off the field with a singular focus on one common goal. Chemistry is such an underrated part of college athletics. These players want to go out & fight with/for one another.

La Familia & Ohana are so much more than just words/hashtags. The kids have truly bought in.

this is the greatest picture I've ever seen. That's the way to do it fellas. One of the coaches lit up a cigar too I can't remember who it was though. I would love to know what the conversation was after they found out how Shafer mind messed them.

This thread is about our guys. Please direct all Shafer sentiment here:

They must have got the idea from Scott.

Up in smoke, Scotty.
See ya!
Middle finger.

 

[Cuseregular]

I would love to know what the incentive was for this, if either the middle finger to a certain ex coach (if the case case Dungy's learned a good life lesson) or if it was just to celebrate with the traditional victory cigar. Either way how bout them Orange(men)!!

I suspect stogies are not an approved part of Dino's S&C.

I highly doubt it was a slight at SS. Teams all over the country take pics with celebratory cigars after big wins. I've seen pics of 'Bama, Ohio St., & Clemson players do so the past few years.

Can I like this post 25 times?

As far as I’m concerned, they never inhaled.

Just too much of a coincidence. I do know the family of a certain player who won't be named that strongly supported Shafer at the time who were extremely offended at the whole cigar thing. They viewed it as disrespect to his former players/recruits and I agree.

Yep. His beef was with Coyle, the clown trolled his former guys. Dbag move

wonder what kind of trouble people got in for enjoying in a non smoking campus

 

[LAOrange]

There's a pic floating around of four of the coaches with cigars right after the game. Cigars are symbols of victory.

It was a dbag move no doubt about it.

Funny, Dabo Swinney was classier in this upset loss at the Dome than Shafer was in his upset win over his former team. Think about that one.

When we win - when someone beats us and does it the gesture becomes arrogant and a d--k move.

Oh please. Context does mean something.

Definitely - big difference doing it in your 'own house' than your opponent's 'house'. That's context too.

The circumstances around Shafer doing it (and only Shafer by the way on the MTSU staff as far as I've seen - which REALLY says something) and our coaches or players after a victory like this, after all they've been through the past 3-4 years - it's not even comparable. Their gesture wasn't pointed at Clemson - I can't possibly see how anyone thinks that Shafer's wasn't directly pointed at Syracuse.
