Paging @Ron Munson . I know we all love a good vent session but what would y’all say are the speed expectations for the following scenario: 3 lanes with a speed limit of 65 MPH. (Aka 85 throughout most of SC).

From Rivals.com national recruiting director Adam Gorney this morning:

Looking back at the QBs who have been No. 1 overall​

Lawrence is the epitome of what we’re looking for in a No. 1 prospect, a No. 1 quarterback and it all proved perfectly well since the former five-star delivered at Clemson and then was the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. From our perspective, it cannot get much better as Lawrence was who we thought he was and now is leading an upstart Jacksonville Jaguars franchise.

In three seasons at Clemson, Lawrence completed more than 66 percent of his passes for 10,098 yards with 90 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He was then the first player drafted in 2021 with BYU QB Zach Wilson and North Dakota State’s Trey Lance the next two two picks although neither might be a start this upcoming season. Ending second in the rankings behind Lawrence was Chicago Bears franchise QB Justin Fields, who went No. 11 overall in that draft class.

For years, Lawrence was more than available with his time for interviews and whatever else was needed on the recruiting scene. He had an up-and-down performance at the All-American Bowl following his senior year which at least opened up the discussion to make Fields No. 1 overall but that was shut down pretty quickly as we considered Lawrence’s entire body of work.

Garland Favorito who is not a Trump supporter is doing great work. He is fighting like that Georgia Bulldog so to speak. I bet Fulton County burns those ballots before they let VoterGA inspect them. Notice that I bolded that word "standing" in the article below.


ITS NOT OVER!!

Georgia Court of Appeals Returns 2020 Counterfeit Ballot Case Back to Lower Court​

By Jim Hoft May. 11, 2023 7:45 pm

The Georgia Court of Appeals issued an order remanding the Fulton County counterfeit ballot case back to the Superior Court. The ruling gives citizens, taxpayers, and residents standing to sue the government officials or agencies who violate Georgia law.
The far left Atlanta Journal Constitution reported on this development today.

The Georgia Court of Appeals on Thursday revived a lawsuit by election skeptics who want to search for fraudulent ballots from the 2020 presidential race two and a half years after it was decided.
The appellate court sent the case back to a judge to decide whether to allow an outside review of Fulton County’s 147,000 original absentee ballots…
…The lead plaintiff in the case, Garland Favorito of the group VoterGA, said he hopes to finally be able to find suspicious-looking ballots — with perfectly filled-in ovals and a lack of fold marks — that Republican vote-counters said they saw during a statewide audit.

Via VoterGA.

The Georgia Court of Appeals has issued an order remanding the Fulton County counterfeit ballot case back to the Superior Court for all Fulton County petitioners. The order comes over four months after the Georgia Supreme Court upheld standing in its December 20, 2022 ruling for the Favorito et al v. Wan et al and Jeffords et al v. Fulton County cases. That decision was based on the court’s previous ruling that unanimously found Georgia citizens, taxpayers and residents, including voters, always had standing to sue government officials or agencies who violate Georgia law.
The Court of Appeals decision to remand the cases applies only to petitioners who are resident in Fulton County. Petitioners Favorito, Terris and Peck will continue on their case while Caroline Jeffords will continue as the lone petitioner in her case. The remaining five Georgia petitioners could appeal their ruling to the Georgia Supreme Court if they choose, given that they were impacted by a statewide race. It seems unlikely that would happen though.

Prince Harry loses legal bid to pay for police protection while in UK​

By: Catherine Nicholls - CNN.com

Prince Harry has lost a legal challenge seeking the right to pay for his police protection while in the UK, London’s High Court ruled on Tuesday, in a series of lawsuits the Duke of Sussex is pursuing in the country.

The duke was challenging the decision to withdraw his police protection after he stepped down as a working royal. The judge, Mr. Justice Chamberlain, on Tuesday denied a legal bid by the duke to review the decision not to allow him to pay for police protection out of his own funds.

A separate legal effort to review the original decision to strip him of taxpayer-funded protection is ongoing.

In written submissions to the High Court, the UK’s Home Office argued that the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) “considered that it was not appropriate to support an outcome whereby wealthy individuals could ‘buy’ Protective Security from specialist police officers (potentially including armed officers), in circumstances where RAVEC has determined that the public interest does not warrant that individual receiving such Protective Security on a publicly-funded basis.”

A judicial review has now been refused for this claim, Mr. Justice Chamberlain declared.

This legal case is one of several ongoing lawsuits that Prince Harry is undertaking in the UK. He is expected to return to London next month to testify in a separate trial regarding phone-hacking claims against the Mirror Newspaper Group (MNG), which commenced on May 10 and is expected to last seven weeks.

Earlier this month, the UK tabloid publisher apologized to the Duke of Sussex for using unlawful methods to gather information about his private life, on the first day of the trial.

He and three other claimants representing dozens of celebrities are suing MNG, accusing its titles of obtaining private information by phone hacking and through other illicit means, including private investigators, between 1991 and 2011.

Mirror Group Newspapers is contesting most of the allegations, arguing in its court filings that some claims have been brought too late and that in all four cases there is insufficient evidence of phone hacking.

The case against the newspaper publisher is one of several lawsuits filed by Harry and his wife, Meghan, in their long-running battle with British tabloids, which they have accused of breaches of privacy and publishing false stories.

Tuesday’s ruling came on the heels of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s car chase with paparazzi in New York last week, which their spokesperson alleged could have resulted in a “catastrophic” outcome.

The Sussexes were stalked by photographers after leaving the Women of Vision Awards at the city’s Ziegfeld Ballroom in a convoy that also included Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mother. The couple were left shaken by the incident, although ultimately no one was hurt, their security detail told CNN.

The Duke of Sussex has been vocal about the security of his family, often drawing comparisons between his wife’s treatment to that faced by his mother, Diana. The late Princess of Wales died in 1997 after suffering internal injuries resulting from a high-speed car crash in Paris.

CLEMSON, S.C. - Cam Cannarella was named ACC Freshman-of-the-Year, announced Monday by the ACC. Cannarella is Clemson’s fourth ACC Freshman-of-the-Year, joining Matthew LeCroy (1995), Patrick Boyd (1998) and Seth Beer (2016).

Cannarella (OF), who was also an All-ACC Freshman pick, joined Billy Amick (DH/UT) as First-Team All-ACC selections. Caden Grice earned Second-Team All-ACC honors as a starting pitcher and Cooper Ingle was named Third-Team All-ACC at catcher.

Cannarella (Hartsville, S.C.) is hitting .393 with five homers, a triple, 13 doubles, 39 RBIs, 64 runs, a .461 on-base percentage and 23 steals in 53 games as the everyday starter in center field. He is among the ACC leaders in batting average and runs, and he leads the ACC in steals.

Amick (Batesburg, S.C.) burst onto the scene in March to lead the team in batting average (.426). He has 11 homers, a triple, 15 doubles, 51 RBIs, 34 runs, a .780 slugging percentage, .469 on-base percentage and two steals in 39 games (35 starts).

Grice (Greer, S.C.) has been a two-way threat for the Tigers in 2023. He is 7-1 with a 3.18 ERA, .199 opponents’ batting average and 82 strikeouts against 31 walks in 62.1 innings pitched over 12 starts. At the plate, he is hitting .296 with 14 homers, a triple, 12 doubles, 54 RBIs, 50 runs, a .408 on-base percentage and three steals in 52 games (51 starts). It marked Grice’s second Second-Team All-ACC selection in his career, as he earned that honor as a first baseman as a freshman in 2021. He became the first Tiger since Jarrod Schmidt (2001,02) to earn All-ACC honors as both a hitter and pitcher during a career.

Ingle (Asheville, N.C.) is hitting .330 with six homers, 15 doubles, 32 RBIs, 51 runs, a .425 on-base percentage and a steal in 55 games.

I finally decided to put this Block C bad boy out to pasture. I honestly can't remember what year I got it, but we traveled to Glendale and Tampa together. Father Time catches up with all of us, though. Godspeed old friend, godspeed.

Old school TI members will remember the days of Brad Scott's similarly faded hat.

Saw this photo this morning for the first time from 'Historic Vids.'

In 1947, one year before his passing, Babe Ruth was captured in a photograph at the age of 52. Ruth holds a prominent position as one of the most revered sports icons in American culture and is widely acclaimed as the greatest baseball player of all time. Recognizing his exceptional contributions, Ruth was elected as one of the "first five" inaugural members of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936.

Here's the situation...you've got $50-60k that you have to invest in real estate using a 1031 exchange. What do you do?

I'm leaning towards purchasing a local rental property and hiring a property manager. I need to run the numbers in more detail, but the quick estimate looks good.

Just wanted to give you an update - Tim Bourret’s wedding this past Saturday was just awesome! He and Kaye had 168 people from as far away as New Zealand. They had great groups from Clemson and Notre Dame. There were about 25 former student assistants from Clemson and the group from Notre Dame was also about 25. There were SIDs from other schools and former SIDs. There was a great group of media members and friends.

Tim is world famous for his ability to do notes for Clemson events. This was no exception as he had a full set of notes about the attendees and their accomplishments. It was vintage Tim.

He and Kaye had dated for 18 years. As you can imagine everyone gave him a hard time about that - even the priest during the ceremony. But the bottom line is everyone had a great time celebrating the wedding of two people they were genuinely happy to see enjoy this amazing moment!

One of Grace Raynor's first experiences covering Clemson was for a football game some folks might remember -- in Tampa, featuring the Tigers and Crimson Tide playing for the national championship.

Raynor still shudders at her harrowing experience writing on a tight deadline late that night for The Post and Courier newspaper. It was such a traumatic experience that she called her mother the next morning and told her she didn't think she was cut out for this sportswriting thing.

As it turned out, Raynor was more than cut out for it. She established herself as an excellent storyteller over the years, including when she moved to The Athletic in 2019.

Over the last year Raynor has moved away from covering Clemson and carved a new and exciting world for herself: Unearthing interesting stories from the always-interesting world of recruiting.

Raynor, who will soon move from the Upstate to Virginia, visited with The Dubcast as she was preparing for that move -- plus an upcoming vacation to Italy.

She reflects on her years covering Dabo Swinney and the Tigers, and she gives her take on how the football program is positioned in a new era of the transfer portal, NIL, and a conference that appears in serious danger.
