Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney spoke to the South Carolina legislatures at the State House Tuesday in Columbia.
Tuesday was declared Clemson Day at the State House as the state honored the Tigers for winning their second national championship in three years in college football.
Clemson defeated Alabama, 44-16, in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Jan. 7 in Santa Clara, Calif.
Here is what is being said about the national champions on Twitter.

SC Statehouse escalator report: Today’s colors are purple and orange I’m guessing because it is Clemson Day ‘round here, or more colloquially _ Dabo Day. The Tigers football coach speaks to all 170 lawmakers (minus a few vacancies and absences) at noon. pic.twitter.com/EiGVdhNK6P

Move over Alabama, Clemson is the new King of College Football. In our new magazine “Little Ole Clemson”: The Best “Little” Dynasty Ever, we examine not just the 2018 team’s run to being “the best ever” but examine the last four seasons and how Dabo Swinney turned Clemson into the new dynasty of college football. We also take a look at the role former athletic director Terry Don Phillips played. We go behind the scenes at the Tigers’ run to a second national championship in three seasons and the previous three national championship runs. It also features stories on the Power Rangers, the 2018 senior class, high quality photos and much, much more.
