TV Guru Predicts a Nooner for the Chickens

Hope he’s wrong but it would make sense.

That would really suck and to not even be on ABC but ESPN as well.

****Dave Hale, on Notre Dame

In 2014, Notre Dame and the ACC entered into a scheduling agreement in which the Irish promised five matchups per year against the conference in exchange for a home for their non-football programs. Since then, Notre Dame has effectively been Biff from "Back to the Future" to the ACC's McFly family. They roll into the house unannounced, raid the fridge and eat Wake Forest's leftover chicken and then take Georgia Tech's car without asking.

And so it was that the Irish throttled Virginia 35-14 on Saturday behind Riley Leonard's three touchdown throws. Jeremiyah Love ran for 137 and the defense picked off Anthony Colandrea three times. Notre Dame finishes 5-0 against the ACC, the sixth time in 11 years the Irish have gone undefeated against the conference in the regular season. Overall, Notre Dame is 50-9 in the regular season against the ACC since 2014, including a 9-0 record as a full member in 2020, and somewhere Jack Swarbrick is inviting his buddies to crash at John Swofford's beach house for the entire summer again.

Important question for all the guys that know X’s and O’s and anyone else that wants to chime in…

With all the talk from Narduzzi about how our offense looks basically the exact same from the last 4 meetings with Clemson and Dabo is heavily involved, etc…

I was wanting some of you to breakdown the TCU vs Michigan CFP matchup from 2 years ago. That was obviously Garrett’s best game as an OC and I remember their offense used all kinds of great plays in that game.

It looked like a lot of TCU’s offense is different than what we’re currently doing and have done for the last 5+ years. It seems like Dabo is just making Garrett call plays from the “Clemson Offense.”

Basically, I was wanting to know the schematic differences between that TCU offense and ours?

Assistants…

Instead of talking about firing and such, I have one question that has puzzled me…

When they changed the rules to allow unlimited on-field coaches, why did we not use our huge budget to hire the best on field coaches to supplement our existing staff?

Wes isn’t a LB coach. I’m not sure how good the rest are, and I am not doubting them. That said, this was a chance to not worry about recruiting skills and just look at coaching.

Boulware is intense, but again, not a proven coach.

We have an almost 1:1 ratio of staff to players when you look at the sideline. I hope we adjust and hire the best position coaches possible and the best recruiting coaches too. You don’t have to try to find the best mix of skills anymore.

***Elvis/Netflix...***

Netflix recently released a special on "The King" himself. It's produced by Priscilla Presley and, from what I've gathered, is her response to the movie "Elvis" that was released a couple years ago. My wife and I enjoyed it as it did release some video's that we hadn't watched before.

Really cool insights from her point of view. It's very much worth a look if you liked Elvis at any point in time. The title is:
"Return of the King
the fall & rise of
Elvis Presley"

*****THE CLEMSON DUBCAST: Terrence Oglesby

In a mere three years, Terrence Oglesby has established himself as a successful college basketball broadcaster and analyst.

It's taken lots of hustle and networking, but most of all Oglesby's continued upward trajectory is a tribute to his smooth style and his strong command of the game.

Oglesby's duties consist of: Analyst for Charlotte Hornets home games; ESPN; FOX; NBA TV; The Field of 68; and CBS Sports Network.

Just this past week he was in Milwaukee broadcasting a game Monday night, and by the next afternoon he was driving from Atlanta to Clemson to work his alma mater's game against Eastern Kentucky.

The former sharpshooter for Oliver Purnell spent several years living in Clemson, but last fall he moved his family to Greenville so he could be closer to the airport.

Oglesby gives his thoughts on the current state of Clemson basketball under Brad Brownell.

He's convinced that Brownell is going to lead the Tigers to sustained prominence as Brownell continues to take advantage of the transfer portal and maintaining the relationships with major donors that are necessary to pay for high-end talent in the NIL era.
