NIL and Rankings

Looking at the first CFP ranking, it is apparent the amount spent on NIL is important to getting ranked, but not an absolute. Without transparency, it's hard to know for sure, but I think the teams highlighted in bold below are big spenders. Not sure about Penn. St. Without our ability or willingness to spend, it will be increasingly hard to make the playoff. Because it's the ACC, I think we remain in the top half of the league, but 9-3 or 8-4 will become more the norm.

1. Oregon
2. Ohio St.
3. Georgia
4. Miami
5. Texas

6. Penn St.
7. Tennessee
8. Indiana
9. BYU
10. ND
11. Bama

12. Boise St.

Paul? Big Recruits in Pre-NIL Model

Hey Paul,

I know we can't put the genie back in the bottle. I was curious, in the few classes since NIL has become more prominent, which big time recruits would we have landed in the old model?

David Sanders certainly comes to mind, likely Bryce Davis. I'm sure there are others in the last two classes as well.

Any others that stick out that were "Clemson guys" they just couldn't turn down the massive pay day?

Thanks!

Updated Election Ban Bet

To all TI libs…

Would you like to take a ban settlement for your upcoming loss?

Ideas?

So we’re all clear, this election is over. Hopefully you all can remain cordial (relative term), as we continue to watch reality settle in for you. Will you simply run away with your tail tucked?.. uh hmm @nytigerfan? Will you throw a tantrum? … @tboonpickens @dpic73?

I apologize for not remembering the rest of your names.

Trump names Wiles Chief of Staff

I don’t hate this move. Of course I don’t love it either, but she’s far from the worst person he could have chosen.

She’s not a Heritage Foundation crazy, and may act as a bit of gatekeeper between Trump and the project 2025 true believers. She describes herself as a “moderate” Republican but these days that just means she isn’t batshit crazy.

Hopefully this is a sign Trump isn’t going to give the heritage foundation as much access as feared, but history shows Trump advisors/staff don’t have a very long shelf life. Probably only a matter of time before Trump is calling her a member of the deep state and hiring someone far more right wing.

Resident Libs and Never Trumpers GITT

Can all of you compile a list ITT of all the things you think/expect Donald Trump to do over the next four years that will be detrimental to the greater good of the country and the world?

List all of your concerns here. Air your grievances and we will periodically check back in from time to time to see where we stand.

Should be a fun exercise.

My Thoughts

I’ve taken a day or two to take in the results of the election. Most of yall know, this was not the result I wanted. Now is it one I’m surprised by? No. But not the one I hoped for.

While the candidate I wanted didn’t win, I accept that people in America had a hard time accepting that Kamala would be different for the future. I firmly believe that whoever won, would be set up for a great four years of economic boom which is what really seemed to decide this race.

People are hurting from the rise of inflation and the price of everyday things like groceries. Do I think that is the fault of the Biden/Harris? No I don’t. The US stock market is already crushing it and we are handling the last 4 years since Covid immensely better than any country on this planet.

But every day Americans don’t feel that just yet and I don’t blame them because too many people are living paycheck to paycheck so any flux, can make them feel it hard.

I hope my republican posters can recognize the peaceful transfer of power, the trust in how elections are conducted, and see that while our parties may lose from time to time, that is how a true government functions over time.

Trump will push whatever his agenda will be but I pray he does it for the betterment of all of the country and not to be petty. There are people afraid for their livelihood and he should try to ease those concerns instead of making them an enemy. That would make this country stronger.

Hope all of yall are well and we can be honest about our dialogue going forward. That would bring us closer to solving the issues we have and will have.
